Hi guys, thanks to Sublimejeh I'm going to try H-X2. I'm going to start to use HX2 (and my log) on April 23rd. But first, some info about me: Age: 36 Sex: male Height: 175cm (5'9") Weight: 81kg (178,5 lbs) Bodytype: ectomorph Training experience: I've been training constantly for 3 1/2 years, started at 60kg (132lbs). I'm trying to add mass, while keeping a good cardiovascular health. First year I've trained at home, with limited equipment. I'm planning to start doing this Thibaudeau routine. What do you think about it?

ghostrider -> RE: Ghost Rider Hyperdrive - powered by Hyperdrol X-2 (Apr. 17 2007 13:51:45)
Here is the plan: 1 month of cutting with the help of Hyperdrol X-2 and a Thibaudeau routine. I'm going to take four caps of HX2 every day, one every four hours, so is going to be in my system all day long (6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm or 8am, 12am, 4pm, 8pm). The routine works like this: Day 1: heavy loads (chest/back) + alactic work Day 2: lactate inducing workout + steady state aerobic Day 3: off Day 4: heavy loads (legs) Day 5: off Day 6: lactate inducing workout + steady state aerobic Day 7: off I might add some aerobic even on day 3 and 5 (skipping rope or 6km jogging) Week 1-3 Day 1: AM training Superset: bench press 4/6 reps + incline flyes 6/8 reps 1-2 minutes rest than move to: Superset: weighted pullups 4/6 reps + straight arms pulldown 6/8 reps 1-2 minutes rest than start again from chest.

Then: Superset: BB curl (cambered bar) + Skullcrusher 48 reps PM training Spints: 4 x 30m (120m total) + 3 x 60m (180m total) = 300m or 6 x 30m (180m total) + 2 x 60m (120m total) = 300m or 5 x 60m = 300m or 1 x 30m, 1 x 60m, 2 x 100m = 290m Day 2* CIRCUIT A (12-15 reps per set) DB bench press Leg press DB row Leg Curl Abs 1-2 mins rest at the end of the circuit.

Repeat 3 times Then move on to: CIRCUITO C – OPTIONAL (15-20 reps per set) Curl EZ Standing Calf Skullcrusher Leg Raise Lateral raise 1-2 mins rest at the end of the circuit. Repeat 3 times At the end, 20/30 mins steady state aerobic Day 3 Off Day 4: Superset: Squat 4/6 reps Lunges 6/8 reps 1-2 minutes rest than move to: Superset: SLDL 4/6rep Leg Curl 6/8rep 1-2 minutes rest than start again from legs. Do it 5/6 times. Day 5 Off Day 6 CIRCUIT A (12-15 reps per set) Incline DB press Lounges BB Row Good Morning Abs 1-2 mins rest at the end of the circuit. Repeat 3 times Then move on to: CIRCUIT B (15-20 reps per set) DB press Leg press Lat pulldown SLDL Abs 1-2 mins rest at the end of the circuit. Repeat 3 times Then move on to: CIRCUIT C — OPTIONAL (15-20 reps per set) Hammer Curl Calf Pulldown Abs Upright row At the end, 20/30 of steady state aerobic Day 7 Off On week 2-4, I'm going to switch some exercises. I'm going to write about this later on. Supps I'm going to use: Whey, BCAA, L-Gluta and maybe some pre-WO product... or some Sida cordifilia+Caffeine. Feel free to criticize my routine, my supps plan and my diet... as soon as I write about it.

ghostrider -> RE: Ghost Rider Hyperdrive - powered by Hyperdrol X-2 (Apr. 25 2007 7:55:12)
DAY 3 Rest day Woke up: 6am Slept: 7.5 hours I've added 5g of L-Glutamine pre-bed, since it seems to be good for recover. A little note about food. I do not weigh everything, I used to but not anymore. Let's say it is more of an eye-scales. COMMENTS: I'm always thirsty. Water intake is around 4.5 liters/day (~1 gallon), maybe I should drink a little more. I have DOMS everywhere: shoulders, biceps, triceps... you name a muscle, you can bet it is aching laugh.gif

Day 5 Rest day Woke up: 6am Slept: 7.5 hours COMMENTS: I still have DOMS in pecs, back and legs, obviously. I feel full of energy, maybe today I'll do some cardio (rope jumping or something). Water consumption is definitely up, something more than 5L. Think I have to wait a couple of days more to see HX2 kickin' in.

ghostrider -> RE: Ghost Rider Hyperdrive - powered by Hyperdrol X-2 (Apr. 28 2007 18:20:50)
Day 6 Wake up: 5.40am Slept: 6.40 hours I woke up early, so I decided to do some cardio. Did only 25mins (rope jumping) than had some whey and took a shower.

CIRCUIT B (15-20 reps per set) DB shoulder press: 16kg (35.2lbs) first set - 18kg (39.7lbs) 2nd/3rd Increase next week Leg press: 110kg (242.5lbs) Increase next week Lat pulldown: 55kg (121.2lbs) Increase next week SLDL: 50kg (110.2lbs) Leg raise Also for this circuit everything went on smoothly.

On last round I've done 20 reps only for triceps and calves. Psyched up by: Tool - Aenima First Week Comments: Tomorrow I will finish my first week of HX2. As for now, I can say that I feel more pumped at the end of every training session, even after cardio. I have more energy, I wake up more rested. Libido is definitely increasing.

ghostrider -> RE: Ghost Rider Hyperdrive - powered by Hyperdrol X-2 (Apr. 29 2007 9:34:31)
Day 7 Rest day Woke up: 6am Slept: 7 hours COMMENTS: When I woke up today I found out that I was green, could fly, walk on the walls and see through clothes of women. Ok, just kidding. I was trying to make my journal more interesting [:D] DOMS are almost completely gone, only legs aches a bit. I always use to be full of energy in the morning, even right after waking up, but I have to admit that since I've started HX2, I feel even better. I've got a lot of work to do, but I will try to throw in some cardio during the day.
