Ok, since three days are not going to change the world, here is a brief summary of what is changed after four weeks of training.
The following are the difference in the weights used on heavy days. A 5kg increase on bench normally is nothing noticeable, I know, but keep in mind that I was on a hypocaloric diet.
Bench +5kg
Incline +2.5kg
Straight Arms Pulldown +5kg
High Pulley +2kg
DB Bench +6kg
Pullups +6kg
Flies +2kg
Dips +8kg
EZ Curl +2.5kg
Squat +10kg
Seated Leg Curl +4kg
SLDL +10kg
Single leg squat +10kg
I've noticed great increase in strength on the circuit training, where my Incline DB bench went up of 6kg, same for DB shoulder press and a lot of other exercises (give a look throughout my log and see).
Body weight isn't changed drammatically, but it seems I've lost a fair share of fat, since I've dropped almost 2cm on my waist.
A more in depth review will come in the next day, with new pics.

Final Comments:
The first thing I noticed as soon as I started HX2, it was the quality of sleep.
since day 1, I woke up very refreshed, sleep is definitely improved and so it is recover.
Even with a few hour of sleep, energy was always through the roof, you seem to never get tired, even in the gym.
Since day 4, HX2 kicked in and I started to increase the weight used in most exercises.
During week 1, I noticed a little increase of libido, but soon got back to normal.
Starting week 2, I started feeling like a continuous pump. This feeling went on all week 2, and faded a bit in week 3 and 4.
Nothing special to say about week 3 and 4. Everything has been pretty much the same since HX2 kicked in: energy level always high, weight or reps increase in almost every exercise, no libido drop nor peak, just a couple of spots on my back.
So, is this HX2 the magic bean everybody is looking for to pack on muscle while reading the newspaper?
No way!
Is it a good supplements for those who train hard, that will help you to gain something more?
Definitely!
I don't know how HX2 works on a bulk, but I bet it will work just as good as on a cut.
I am skeptical by nature, so when I started, I was thinking that was not going to do anything, so there's no chance that the strength gains came from the placebo effect.
My opinion is that HX2 is a great supp to use on a cut, keeps energy levels high (even on zero carbs day and 1700Cals) allowing to push harder, optimizing fat loss and helping to keep your hard gained muscles.
Will I use other AX products in the future? Probably I will go for MassFX as soon as I start to bulk again.
Obviously I will take some pics (probably tomorrow). You'll see and decide by yourself if it's everything in my mind.

Last week I had the flu, I thought to be back to 100%, but I'm not.
Today I felt a bit tired in the gym, managed to train back decently, though.
Next week I'm going to change my routine, I'm going back to a 5x5 on compound lift and add some other isolation exercise.
Mon: back/biceps
Wed: chest/triceps/shoulder
Fri: legs
There's gonna be cardio also, 3/4 sessions a week.
I'm going to keep calories and water intake as high as possible.
Supps: Epi  , ZMA, milk thistle, taurine, ALA, JW (in PCT).
I'll keep clom at hand, just in case
I'm planning to go on with the pulse for 8 weeks.
