BuckeyeMuscle's ActivaTe Extreme Log


http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w39/rf338305/activatex_sm.jpg



INTRO:


Thanks to everyone at DS for letting me log ActivaTe Extreme. I did not ever use the original ActivaTe, so needless to say I'm very excited for this after reading countless rave reviews. Designer's products are always wonderfully formulated, and they never put out anything unless it works, plain and simple.


EXPECTATIONS


Right now I'm on a low carb diet 6 days a week with 1 day refeed, so my expectations are somewhat limited. I'm hoping to continue leaning out while hopefully adding a pound or two of LBM. I'm also expecting a slight rise in libido and sex drive, and hopefully some strength gain.

ABOUT ME:



Age: 20

Sex: Male

Height: 6'1

Weight: 202 lbs.

Body type: Mesomorph

Est. BF% : 10%


TRAINING EXPERIENCE:



Started training in high school, but was specifically for football, not for bodybuilding. I started bodybuilding my freshman year of college (2 years ago). In high school I weighed about 225, and probably around 20-25% bodyfat, by my senior year in high school I was about 160lbs, and not sure of bodyfat, but it was very low. Since then I've gained over 40 pounds in 2 years while staying at or below 10% bodyfat.

ACTIVATE XTREME:



The write-up for ActivaTe Xtreme can be found here (http://designersupps.com/product_writeups/activatex.pdf)

DOSING:


2 caps, two times per day. Once at around 7am, the next around 5pm.

OTHER SUPPLEMENTS:



Various Proteins: (GF Pro, ON 100%, Sustain)
Bulk WMS
Bulk BCAA's
Bulk Citrulline Malate
Palo Alto Labs Incarnate
Palo Alto Labs Reset AD
Multi Vitamin
VPX NO Shotgun pre workout
Other various things that I will make a note of if taken.


I have stopped taking App Nut RPM, and Palo Alto Labs Paravol due to both of their inclusion of Icariin. I want to fairly judge ActivaTe Extreme, so I think that exculding them from my protocol will make me more accurately judge its effects. Also, since I have been taking Paravol for quite some time, I will be able to notice any drop in libido fairly easily, so I will be watching for that.

DIET:


As noted earlier, my diet right now is low carb 6 days a week, with a refeed day (high carb) on Saturdays. My diet includes : chicken breast, asparagus, mushrooms, spinach, green beans, lean ground beef, tilapia, orange roughy, peanut butter, cottage cheese, and protein powders.

Current Daily Water Intake:

1-2 gallons



I believe that is everything. If there is anything missing that the DS reps would like to see, just let me know and I'll include it. If anyone else has any questions, please ask. Time to GFH!!!!

Nice! I loved X Factor, so maybe sometime down the road I can do an XF + ActivaTe Extreme stack! Good luck on your log too!!

[tigerDtackle]

Activate Extreme + X-Factor = $$$ in the bank (or so it seems)


Good luck w/ your log.

[ZDub212]

Holla!!! Oh snap I can't wait to see this. Best of luck BM! And hang in there...don't let the lingering issues get to you!

One question, I noticed you are taking 4 caps per day whereas two other loggers are taking 6 capsules per day...any thoughts on this?

Unless you're over 225 lbs, then 4 caps is suffice.

Thanks Z. About the 4 caps a day....Art originally said 6 caps a day for everyone, then came back later and corrected himself and said that 4 would be fine. I'm not over 225 yet :(

Thats gonna be sick man! You better log that because I might have to end up doing that same stack.

Thanks man. I'm taking the caps at about 7am with breakfast and then at about 5pm. I'm not sure if they should be taken on an empty stomach or not, I meant to ask.

Daily Notes:

Had a wonderful workout, felt great, and had an awesome pump. My biceps looked pretty full today for some reason, probably because its my high carb day, but I'm not sure. Not really much to note from the ActivaTe as of yet. Today's weight is 201lbs.

Bump this to the DS Reps: If I'm missing anything you'd like me to include please let me know. Also, do you prefer it to be taken on an empty stomach, or with food?

[dbc5]

Really good workout man. Log is looking solid so far. By the way, I saw you had a VPX bar as one of your meals. I love those things. They are the only bar I really eat because of the awsome ingredients and they actually have enough calories to serve as a meal. Plus the pumpkin supreme tastes awsome.

Thanks, and yes I LOVE the VPX pumpkin supreme bars. I eat one every high carb day!


how long have you been cutting buckeye?

I'm not really cutting. I'm basically doing a recomp, with a slight emphasis on cutting for summer. When fall/winter kicks in I might go back to my regular diet, but my body is responding pretty well to the low carb diet, so I might stick with it.

Daily Notes:

Excellent pump today, vascularity looks like it might be up a tad bit. I had an excellent pump today, even in my chest and triceps, which was great. My weight is still down to 200, which is kind of weird, especially since I'm not doing a whole lot of cardio. So far, no effects on libido. Tomorrow is leg day, so I will update tomorrow night!

I will report back after I workout.

As for my workout, I got a few more reps on a few lifts from last week which was great. Also I want to note that my vascularity in my delts/chest was INSANE today. I got a few comments while I was lifting and a few about an hour after lifting while in the grocery store.

[uhockey]

As AX is likely increasing anabolic activity and metabolism, if you don't bump calories slightly, you're probly going to lose a bit of weight. IMO, its the best baseline recomp product on the market.

Interesting, thanks Mike. I actually am recomping right now, even though it may look like I'm cutting with the low carb diet.

Yep, I played football for about 8 years, and the coaches always made us do squats. My legs are easily my strongest body part.



As for the 14 hour day......rookie. ;)

Hahaha, thats not even half of one of your shifts. But I have to move furniture and heavy boxes all day :(

Daily Notes:


Finally high carb day!! I had a decent one, nothing to spectacular. My workout was great, I always have a much better pump on high carb day, and today was no different. The last couple nights I have noticed that I have been sleeping more sound, and not waking up as much in the middle of the night. I know I have seen this as an effect of Divanil, but didn't start to experience it until a few nights ago. I wake up much more refreshed than without it.

*Today will be an off day because I will driving to Georgia and obviously will not have time to get to the gym because of the 12-14 hour drive :(

[40-Yard Dash_2]

Yo, where you headed to in GA?

[Big_Tom(tk)]

I'm finding it kind of hard to bump my calories up, because I can't find the time to eat more often, and really can't eat more when I do eat.

Anyways, my delts are getting absolutely ripped to shreds, and I have pretty good seperation between all three heads. It seems to be getting better and better with each workout. Weight is at 201.

Daily Notes:


I did a few of my squat sets with my feet together, and it absolutely roasted my quads. I usually do my squats with my legs about shoulder length apart or a little closer together, but I had never done them with my feet together before. It definitely gave me an intense pump, especially with the high reps. It felt like my quads were going to explode. Weight is up to 202. Libido is also very high ;)

It sure does, I had never used ActivaTe before. In fact the only ingredient I have pretty good experience with is the Icariin, but never in the 20% extraction. So really, everything in ActX is new for me, and I really love it. I ordered 2 bottles, so I'll be using it again this fall :)

Daily Notes:


My back width has most definitely improved in the last few weeks. I feel its one of my weakest points, so I'm really trying to concentrate on it and I think its paying off. I also have recently noticed some mild vascularity on my lats, which is awesome. My reps on wide grip pullups and chinups has gone up since the beginning of the log as well.

Good to hear! I have been starting to do wide grip pull ups and I can only get around 8-10 tops and I never seem to improve. How often do you do pull ups?

[dbc5]

Man, everyone loves this stuff. Your results have been very impressive and it might just be what pushes me over the edge and makes me pick some up.

I start off every back workout with pullups. Something that REALLY helped me bring my back up was bodyweight chinups. I highly recommend you adding them to your routine if you don't do them already.

Disappointment, IMO.

Guess he just didn't feel like finishing the log.

I dunno, an explanation was never given.

[uhockey]

Hope he is alright. Gotta look out for my fellow Buckeyes!

[XCriticalBenchX]

Me2. I dont see him post very often.. i usually see him all over the place. Its weird he just wouldnt finish his log.. hes always been a man of trust.

Mike

[ncangey0513]

I was also wondering where he's been. I'm sure he's busy with school and everything, but VERY surprising he hasn't been here at all. He hadn't posted from mid August 'til early September as well, and then, like Rob said, his last post was the 10th. What's up with the PAL rep conspiracies?! :(

[Robboe]

What PAL rep conspiracies?
