Ragnar's MassFX and Hyperdol Log (Alpha Testing)

[Ragnar]

Here's the start of my super duper Mass FX log. I'll get more info on here tomorrow.

[Scheizekopf]

Great!!

Good luck!!

[Ragnar]

I'm 24 years old. I'm 6', 195 lbs.
Bi's: 16 5/8"
Chest: 43.5"
Forearms: 14 1/4"
Quads: 23 1/4"
Calves: 15" (OK, stop laughing now).

OK, now for the goodies. I will be testing Anabolic Xtreme's new product, Mass FX. BUT, it will not be taken by itself, it will be stacked with one of their already released products, Hyperdol. Now, this is the Alpha Test. It turns out they want to add something to their original Mass FX formula, but they're gonna let us test this version anyway. When they make the second version, it will be the Beta Test. If all goes well, I will be doing that test as well.



Here's what they say about Mass FX:

Mass FX contains innovative ingredients that potentiate natural testosterone levels and give results in the first week. This pro-anabolic optimizer was designed to be stacked with Hyperdrolâ„¢ to create the most potent lean muscle building stack available today. Mass FX helps support testosterone levels, deliver rock hard pumps, promote the Alpha Male mentality, increase aggression, build xtreme muscle mass and give immediate strength gains. Mass FX will deliver the results you want in just a few days of usage and will continue though out your cycle.

» WITHIN YOUR FIRST FEW DAYS:
Mass FX starts to kick in. You should be feeling the Alpha Male mentality. Workouts will be more intense and recovery will be quicker.

» AFTER 1 WEEK:
You will notice muscle pumps and hardness like you have never experienced before. Your strength is now beginning to increase. Your veins are starting to pop. You can feel that Mass FX is working and you like it!

» AFTER 2-3 WEEKS AND BEYOND:
The pro-anabolic optimizer is in full effect stimulating lean muscle mass and strength gains. Your muscles look and feel dramatically harder, stronger and fuller. Your strength is increasing beyond what you expected from an all natural product that doesn’t have the nasty side effects of pro-hormones. By now you know that Mass FX works and your gains have only begun. While you finish out your 6-8 week cycle, each week your muscles will become stronger, harder, fuller and bigger. Your workouts will continue to intensify, your Alpha Male mentality will continue to dominate and your test levels will be like nothing you have ever felt before.
Welcome to the world of Mass FX.

And the magic ingredient is: (3b,5a,6a,25R)-Spirostan-3,6-diol, Bioperene
They say it's 100% herbal and they have a custom synthesis on an extract that is derived from a wild plant in the DaXingAnLing virgin forest. That's all I know.



Here's what they say about Hyperdrol:

Hyperdrol™ is a lean mass building Herbal Hypertrophic compound from Anabolic Xtreme, the designers of the world’s most effective muscle building formulations. Hyperdrol™ has been exclusively created and formulated for Anabolic Xtreme by Author L. Rea. Hyperdrol™ contains a matrix of four herbal ingredients, each of which uses a proprietary extraction process to obtain a precise matrix of unique compounds. These work synergistically together like nothing else on the market. There is no shutdown with Hyperdrol™ and users can cycle for 12 to 16 weeks. Independent product testers have reported gains of about one pound of lean body mass (not weight) per week.

Ingredients:

Cissus Quadrangularis: Cissus (SEA-SUS) is one key to Hyperdrolâ„¢. Do not confuse the Cissus in Hyperdrolâ„¢ with that of other products on the market. AX has learned how to balance the extraction process to highlight the positive effect of the right metabolites.

6-Bromodione: 6-BrADâ„¢ is a new anti-aromatase that keeps estrogen intact while testosterone rises - but it also inhibits negative feedback thus inducing an increase in total testosterone and preventing natural test production from shutting down. With 6-BrAD, we have created a favorable natural androgen to estrogen ratio (like you had as a teenager) which will allow for better body composition with fewer potential rebound issues.

Forsholii Diterpene Complex: Similar to Forskolin (Forsleanâ„¢) in action but much more bio-available to the body allowing a significantly smaller dose to be used with greater affect. Our exclusive Forsholi Diterpene extract helps generate lean body mass by stimulating cAMP, which increases the circulation of hypertrophic hormones to create lean hard gains!!!

Urtica Dioica Lignan Complex: Using a proprietary extraction process, we have taken the common Stinging Nettle Herb to a new level to synergistically increase testosterone levels while concurrently combating BPH which can arise from DHT conversion, a side effect of any raise in test levels.

We have been told that if we are <200 lbs, we will take three a day of both Mass FX and Hyperdrol. >200 lbs will take four or more, with six the max. I would personally like to take 4, but I will do as they ask. They're trying to get the dosing just right. That's all I have for now, I will get some new pics up within a few days.

THE WORKOUT

I'm currently working out Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I do one or two warm-up sets, and three or four working sets. I pyramid the weight up and the reps down. Reps usually go about 10,8,6. Sometimes as high as 12 and as low as 4. Most sets are taken to failure. I often do drop sets, rest/pause and forced reps. I go as heavy as I can with good form. Sometimes I cheat a little. I also stretch between just about every set.

About a month ago, I unfortunately injured my right rotator cuff doing guess what....bench, that's right. Figures, I did nine reps with 225, one more rep than I've ever done with that much, and I hurt myself. Last October I tore my left pec attempting a 1RM of 300 (not a real bad tear I guess, it didn't get black and blue, but I needed physical therapy and I couldn't start benching heavy again until about May this year. Boy was that painful the next morning).

Anyway, my point is I'm just easing back into my chest workout, and I'm going easy on back and shoulders. My rotator cuff is feeling pretty good, I should be lifting relatively heavy again within a couple weeks. I'm still good to go on legs and arms. I wanted to wait until my rotator cuff was 100% before I started this test, but AX said I couldn't wait more than one week after I get the products, so I'll just start it when I get it. (Should be here Monday).

THE EXCERCISES

Wednesday, Back: Weighted Pull-ups, Deadlift, Bent Over rows, Cybex Plate Loaded Rows, Reverse Close grip Pulldowns (I'm just starting these this week, I was doing wide regular grip)

Thursday, Chest and Hammies: Flat bench, Incline DB bench, Decline Smith Machine bench, Flat DB Flyes, DB Pullovers, Cable Flyes low to high (A lot of chest work, but I need it), Stiff legged DB deadlift, One leg lying leg curls

Saturday, Quads, Delts and traps: Squats, One legged Smith Machine Squats, Leg Extensions, Standing Barbell Shoulder press, Side/Front/Rear DB raises, DB or Behind the back Barbell Shrugs

Sunday, Bi's and Tri's: Rope pushdowns, Weighted Dips (Not since I hurt my rotator cuff), Skull Crushers, Overhead DB Extension(added this recently. Using a barbell was starting to hurt my wrist too much), Reverse Grip One handed Pushdowns, Standing Barbell Curls, Incline DB Curls (Not alternating), Standing Hammer Curls (Alternating), Concentration Curl

Additionally, I don't have a set day for calves, I usually train them twice a week (pathetic chicken legs, I hate you! Ahem). Forearms are usually trained on arm day with DB wrist and reverse wrist curls. Sometimes barbell, sometimes both. (I decided a month ago to make my forearms big). My leg strength may seem low compared to my other body parts. Most likely because I didn't train legs nearly as much as I should have while I was in the Marine Corps from Feb '01 to Jan '05.

THE DIET

OK, I haven't actually counted calories or anything since I was 17. But I can tell you this, I consume between 220 and 260 grams of protein a day. I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to 4000 calories a day. So I guess that makes my protein roughly 25% of my daily calories. Hmmm, a little low, huh?

I'm careful that I don't eat too much sugar and bad fats. The only real problem in my diet is Sodium intake. I often eat TV dinners and ramen noodles, so my sodium intake is probably astrofrickinnomical. I know I shouldn't eat that stuff, I'm trying to cut back.

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to count my calories and what not while doing this log. Then I'll see how close my estimates are.

One more note about Mass FX, they say it's dark brown in color and smells bad, which is a good sign. They basically say that means that it's a quality dose of the main ingredient.

Oh, and my measurements in the above post were flexed and cold.

[Ragnar]

Other supplements I will be taking during this log will be:

VPX Zero Carb Protein, Graham Cracker
Ultimate Nutrition Horsepower, Lemon Lime
MHP Activite Sport
Anabolic Xtreme Perfect Cycle

Now, for those of you wondering why I'm using Horsepower during this log, it's because I'm going on my third tub. AX asked us not to change any variables when we got picked to test, so I haven't. I did use Controlled Labs Black Hole during the wait, but I finished that a couple weeks ago, the review for which can be found at: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=903912

As for the Perfect Cycle (which is liver support for those of you that don't know), I don't need to be taking it with Mass FX and Hyperdol. I'm just using it because I've been using creatine and other supplements for quite some time and I like to have some liver support once in a while.

[macedaddy]

looks like you have your bases covered. how do you like the horse power? 3rd tub? must like it alot? better than other cee and no products?

I was considering taking perfect cycle too, for the same reasons, just to give the liver a break every once and a while!!

[Ragnar]

looks like you have your bases covered. how do you like the horse power? 3rd tub? must like it alot? better than other cee and no products?[/b]

Yeah, I think the Horse Power is pretty good. As far as being an NO product, they've never done much for me. But I like it as a creatine product. I don't think I like it as much as SizeOn, though. And I'm on my third tub because I didn't want to change my creatine intake while doing this log. As soon as this log is done, I'm gonna take a break from creatine.

[Apowerz6]

Looking great now once the stack comes you will be on your way. Hope all goes well I will be watching the log.

[Ragnar]

Well, according to my tracking #, the estimated delivery date is Oct. 2. I think it'll be here by the weekend, though. We'll see. I won't post in this log again until I get it.

[Ragnar]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have lift off.

I just recieved my Mass FX and Hyperdrol about 45 minutes ago, and decided to take my first dose. I don't work out today, but I do Saturday and Sunday. After today my dosing will be: 1 of each with breakfast around 6 or 7, one of each with lunch around 12 or 1, and one of each before my workout around 5 or 6pm. I usually lift in the mornings on weekends, but I'll wait tomorrow so that I have a few doses in me.

I'll get a few pics up this weekend. This log has now officially started.

[macedaddy]

GREAT!!

can't wait. let the good times roll.....

[Ragnar]

Day 1

Today was quads, delts and calves.

Quads:

Squats: 10x225, 6x315, 5x315 I should've gone for six on the third set, I guess I pussed out. Anyway, I only did four reps with 315 last week, so I'm goin' up. My lower back doesn't appreciate it, but my quads do.

One Legged Smith Squats: 10x175, 10x195, 10x205 Ten more pounds than last week

Leg Ext: 10x100, 10x120 The last set was a drop set to 60 then 30

Delts: I hurt my right shoulder a month ago and I can't lift heavy yet. Same goes for chest.

Standing Barbell Press: 12x75, 10x85, 10x85

Side Raises: 10x15, 10x20

Front Raise: 2x10x15's These hurt because it's my front delt that's injured

Rear Raise: 10x40, 10x50

Dumbbell Shrugs: 10x100's, 10x110's, 9x110's The last set was a drop set to 60's then 30's

Calves

Standing Calf Raise: 20x50, 12x100, 12x120, 12x120 The last few were drop sets to 60, then BW


The only calf machine my gym has is a standing calf machine. I started doing donkey calf raises when I get home with my wife on my back, but she was working today. I used to use a donkey calf raise machine when I lived in Califorinia and when I started using that was when I actually started to see an improvement in my calves.

I also did some rotator cuff work and abductor and adductor work. I took my Hyperdrol a little after six last night and it didn't effect my sleep, I'm about to take my third dose of it today at 7:35pm, I'll see if that affects it. Overall, I'm not noticing much yet. I can't say if the little extra I lifted compared to last week can be attributed to the Mass FX and Hyperdrol. I'll see how bi's and tri's go tomorrow. See ya' tomorrow.


I forgot, I've only been weighing 193 all week, not the aformentioned 195. Dammit.

[macedaddy]

nice updates....
great workout!

[Ragnar]

Day 2

Today is day 2 of my log, although I've only had one dose so far today because I worked out this morning. I'm gonna have my second dose soon. I weighed in at 194.2 this morning after I pooped. Probably because of all the pizza I ate last night. Today's workout was:

Tri's, bi's, forearms and abs

Tri's:

Rope Pushdowns: 10x130, 9x140(I did 10 last week), 8x150 Same as last week.

Skullcrushers: 10x110, 8x120(2 forced reps), 7x120(2 forced reps) This was two reps better than last week, although last week this was my third exercise.

Overhead DB Ext(both arms together): 10x80, 8x90, 5x95 Last week I did 10 reps with 100's, but it was also my second exercise.

Reverse Grip One arm pushdowns: 10x50, 10x50 (2 forced reps), 8x50(2 forced reps) Last week I did 8 reps with 60 on the second set.

Overall it was a pretty good tricep workout. Skullcrushers was the only exercise I seemed to better than last week. I didn't do any forced reps last week with skullcrushers because I didn't have a spotter.

Bi's:

Standing Barbell Curls (Straight Bar): 10x115, 7x135(1 forced rep. This was one rep better than last week), 5x135 (1 forced rep. My buddy barely helped. I did 5 reps by myself last week) After the last set I did some rest/pause. I rested about 30 seconds then busted out 2 more reps. I did this three times.

Incline DB Curls (simultaneously): 7x60's, 5x65's, 5x65's Last set was a drop set to 30's These went well. Last week was 6x60, 5x60

Standing Hammers(Alternating): 6x60, 6x60, 7x55 This is unchanged from last week.

DB Concentration Curls: 10x30, 10x30(2 forced reps), 9x30(2 forced reps)

Pretty good bi workout.

Forearms:

DB Wrist Curls: 10x30, 10x30(1 FR), 10x25

DB Reverse Wrist Curls: 10x15, 10x15 Left wrist hurt

Abs:

Core Strength Exercises: Push-up pos. held 65 seconds. Then on my elbows held 65 seconds. Side bridges held 60 seconds.

Incline sit-ups: 1 set of 25

Hanging Leg raises: 1 set of 15

I cut my ab workout short. It was a good workout today. I don't really think the stack is effecting my lifts yet, however, this morning after I took it, I think I started to feel the alpha male mentality and a little aggressive. I felt like I wanted to fu-- some sh-- up and I couldn't wait to get to the gym. I don't work out again until Wednesday, but I'll post how I feel the next couple days.

Oh yeah, I'll post pics tonight. I just borrowed my buddy's digital cam since the $300 one I bought for my wife last christmas disappeared.

[Ragnar]

Here's some pics. All pics taken today, October 1, 2006. (About an hour ago). I also want to add that I had no probems sleeping last night after taking the Hyperdrol and Mass FX at 7:30pm. We'll see about tonight because I forgot to take them earlier because I was watching a DVD of the finals of the 2006 Arnold Classic. I took them about an hour ago and am going to bed as soon as I finish posting this.
