Default X Factor?

OK. Never thought I would try it due to joint issues and the style of training I do so I really did not pay much attention to X-factor posts. A few poeple told me they got good strength gains so it sparked me interest.I know there can be progestin issues if taken after a ph cycle. Is this due to the raised levels from the cycle itself and the X-factor adding to this? Thoughts on running it before a cycle?

Sonny, I am right there with you - starring at the x-factor ...questioning if it is worth it. Ironic for you and I to be so apprehensive about x-factor and more cavalier with PHs (well at least more comfortable)....its quite an investment, but honestly I am still only 60ish% convinced to try it just bc of risk of increased joint (damn knee) pain and chronic allergies/asthma...but with most things if I think on it long enough I most likely will eventually take the risk.


Totally off topic but since I have you here you ever try these shoes:
Leather Do-win weightlifting shoes

I am still debating those vs the adidas....will be buying soon - destroying shoes too often.

Yeah, that is funny.

Have not tried those shoes. They do not seem to have a slight heal though which most do but it was hard to see? Remember, when you move that much weight, shoes are going to be destroyed!!!

Glad to see you around. Hope studies and training are going well.

Hey man, here are some interesting posts on X-factor. I think that I will give it a shot. Now I have to decide if I will go bulk X-factor (cheaper but pain) or pill form....will keep you posted.

If you have any kind of illness/disease/injury that inflammation aggravates, you will find out very soon after taking X-Factor, heh.

I have liked x-factor both times i have ran it and have had no problems either time. I had better results the first time as far as strength goes but the second go round was pretty good too.

I believe currently Dinoiii does not recommend x-factor... Some loved it, some got nothing from it. I say if you have the extra money, try it. You can buy it in bulk form from nutraplanet.com too if you want to save a bit of money.

Well....I have asthma and I have some slight concern regarding this. I take an inhaled corticosteroid (advair) and am hoping this inhibits any exacerbation. I know, the labels specifically states not to take if you have asthma etc...but I can not truly appreciate the warning label because EVERYONE has inflammatory mechanisms constantly fluctuating - Some are just more homeostatic than others.

I only purchased one bottle to experiment with first.

We shall see.

I enjoyed it very much both times I ran it. I'm a young guy though (20). I generally feel younger people will get the the good, without a majority of the sides (typically).
