I’m here to give a shout out to Dexter Jackson who won the 2008 Mr. Olympia contest in Las Vegas, Nevada Orleans Arena and Las Vegas Convention Center over the weekend! He took the crown away from prior Mr. Olympian Jay Cutler who won the Olympia contest the past 2 years.
Top 5 Placings:
1.) Dexter Jackson
2.) Jay Cutler
3.) Phil Heath
4.) Dennis Wolf
5.) Toney Freeman
This is Dexter’s best year of his career in my opinion, with his Mr. O win and first place finishes in all of his other pro competitons that he entered. (Arnold Classic, IFBB Australia Pro Grand Prix VIII, and IFBB New Zealand Grand Elite Pro). He is sponsered by MuscleTech.

For those that do not know, Arachidonic Acid (X-Factor) is a great supplement to use for bulking and gaining strength or for a recompistion effect (build a little bit of muscle and lose fat). ArA is an Omega 6 fatty acid that will increase protein synthesis and increase anabolisim naturally and in non-hormonal pathways. The formula was originally released by Molecular Nutrition and costs anywhere between $85 and $100 for a 50 day cycle. (Cycles are all 50 days, and if you wish to repeat then you need to wait another 50 days after your cycle). But now Bulk X-Factor (ArA in liquid form, not capped) has been out on the market for a year at a price of about $70. While that $20-$30 savings is great by itself, NutraPlanet.com has it on sale for $34.99!!
Yes that is $34.99 for a COMPLETE CYCLE OF X-FACTOR! People have reported the gains to be similar to when they first started working out, and have reported gains of 5-15 pounds over their cycle period with minimal fat gains. It has also been used as a recomp supplement with people gaining a few pounds of muscle while at the same time losing a few pounds of fat.
You can read more about Aracidonic Acid (Bulk X-Factor) at NutraPlanet, and you can even pick some up for $34.99 (plus shipping of course:)) I am not sure how long this sale is going to last, so act fast! (I do not earn any advertising revenue from Nutraplanet, I just want to let everyone know about an amazing deal!)

Dosage: 1,000mg L-Dopa, 300mg EGCC preworkout
Mood: Upbeat, motivated mood about 20 minutes after ingestion. Class FLEW by and I feel like I learned a lot and am actually excited to study the material.
Strength: I added 10 pounds to my bench and felt great during my workout! I also sweated more than usual
Libido: Sex drive is still way above my normal levels!!!
Misc: I could feel a little bit of a “PEA high” for a few minutes about 30 mins into my ingestion of l-dopa. But it was no where near intense, and I mainly got that bad feeling in my chest like when you take too much PEA at one time. It eventually subsided and I was fine. I am not sure if my body can keep on handling a 1,000mg dose though.

Dosage: 250mg L-Dopa, EGCC 9:00am, 250mg L-Dopa (No EGCG, but different effects noticed)
Mood: No anxiety at all. Upbeat motivated mood to have a great day.
Strength: Hard to quantify the HGH release with l-dopa at this point. Looking forward to Monday’s Workout!
Libido: Sex drive is still way above my normal levels, and still feels like it is increasing. Different feeling when the L-DOPA is taken without EGCG. It is like the L-Dopa directly attaches to your penor or something! Finishing feels TOTALLY DIFFERENT. The sensations all take longer and the feel is multiplied. I’ll try to pinpoint it better later on in the log.
Misc: I got into an argument with someone that really pissed me off but I was able to roll it off me so easy. I love that! I also have been taking it kinda near bed time, but have not been experiencing nightmares that can be brought on by excessive dopamine. I actually have been having very vivid dreams that are so amazingly fun and make me like I have another life to go to when I go sleep. 
I am out of EGCG right now but I will go pick up some more from the grocery store. But it is interesting to see the effects of the L-DOPA with and without the EGCG.
