You've all been waiting for it and even though bodybuilding.com has yet to formally put it on the site, it is once again time for the good people of this site to give up some feedback on the next generation of high quality body recomposition products. Past, present, future, bulkers, cutters, recompers alike - all may apply.
Countless have already experienced the effectiveness of our original ActivaTe and the subsequent ActivaTe Xtreme from Designer Supplements guru Matt Cahill and his development team.....the new formulation from Driven Sports simply raises the bar....about 2 fold. Here at bodybuilding.com DS will be accepting testers (once again, no specific number in mind...just the best candidates available) to log and offer their opinion of the new ActivaTe Xtreme both solo and in conjunction with Lean Xtreme. Obviously in traditional DS fashion, logs will be extensively followed by the team and feedback will be free and frequent.
Activate Xtreme is the pinnacle of testosterone enhancement in the sports nutrition industry. Not only does Activate Xtreme rapidly increase free testosterone, it also provides total testosterone enhancement, adaptogenic support, estrogenic control, and boosts sex drive.
We begin with Divanil, a compound tried, tested and scientifically proven to enhance free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). We added Icariin, a flavonol found in epimedium extract, whose benefits include testosterone mimetic properties and an increase in serum testosterone levels. In addition, this compound can improve erection strength and works as a fantastic libido enhancer. Basella Alba, a close relative of spinach, has the power to promote testosterone production in the testes and its potent anabolic effects have been studied and shown to increase muscle mass. To provide a natural balance of healthy estrogen metabolism and counter act the negative effects of estrogen, the naturally ocurring phytochemical Indole-3-Carbinol was added to Activate Xtreme. The product is made three-dimensional as a sexual enhancer through the inclusion of French Pine Bark extract and Zinc Aspartate. The combination of these two ingredients has been shown to be an excellent aid for erection strengthening and libido. Zinc is an important mineral required for optimal serum testosterone levels and Aspartate works as a secondary messenger in the body, stimulating the testes to produce testosterone. Lastly, Rhodiola Rosea is included for its powerful ability to combat stress and fatigue during workouts and replenish ATP reserves thereby increasing endurance and physical performance.
Through the powerful combinations of the ingredients found in Activate Xtreme you can expect rock hard muscle, rapid increases in strength, high levels of testosterone, estrogen control, and a strong sex drive. Activate Xtreme utilizes a new Extended Release Technology introduced by DS to ensure that these effects are felt all day long, furnishing your body with the ideal anabolic environment for building mass. Activate Xtreme is the future of testosterone optimization.
Criteria:
18yrs +
No current androgen usage
Not currently on PCT
Not to be used with any other products that are NEW TO YOU. (IE, if you have experience with something in the past and want to run it with ActX, that is likely okay.)
Previous use of other true recomp products ideal, but not necessary
Providing pics also not required, but definitely won't hurt your chances
You guys know the drill. Post up why you think you'd be a good tester:
Past/present/future goals.
Diet/training.
Past/Current Logs.
Recommendations for others.
Or anything else you'd like us to know. Basically, why should I pick you?
Please do not apply if you have other logging obligations to fulfill
Testers will be selected whenever I feel we have enough candidates and if chosen as a tester, the expectation is that you will keep an accurately detailed log of your experience and report back at this board and any other board you see fit. Designer Supplements has been pretty loose about selections in the past, taking some relative newbies and first time loggers along with some of the forum vets, so PLEASE don't hesitate to throw your name in if you think you can do a good job. Post here in the thread and do not PM me unless you have specific questions about the product.
Thanks and best of luck to all applicants.
Remember, these are logs for both ActivaTe Xtreme solo and ActivaTe Xtreme in conjuction with Lean Xtreme, so be sure to list what option you desire.

DRIVEN Sports (DS) Needs Testers: ActivaTe Xtreme
My place in here at bb.com is as a fitness enthusiast and recommendations do not represent medical advice. Please consult your examining physician for all medical concerns.
I'm not a "rep," and most "reps":
1) are no more credentialed than you. 2) have no input and no understanding of their product formulations. 3) are merely paid in free product from the company they represent.

when would these be required to start? I am currently logging Mitotropin, but I would be interested in logging this afterwards due to the reformulation - back in february I took AX and LX and didnt respond very well at all - i would love to give the stack another go (due to the revised formula), and even if I am not able to log it I will still try the stack shortly

I actually have two bottles of ActX and one of LX waiting for me for a summer cut (Designer versions). I was going to log Leviathan Reloaded during Xmas break and cut a bit. Quick question. When does the start date have to be exactly? I am home for almost exactly one month during break, in which I was going to do a four week "damage control" cut. The thing about being home is that I can actually track macros, and I will be able to start logging December 13th I believe.
Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.

I have been waiting for this!
Past/present/future goals.
Present goals- To get in shape before I apply to become a firefighter. Increase strength and endurance. Got to be able to run with 75lbs on my back!
Future Goals- Increase Mass, work towards a competition.
Diet/training.
Diet- Prob around 3-4k cals. Mainly to hold on to some mass while increasing my cardio.
Meal 1- 4-5 eggs- 1 cup of oats with berries and some veggies.
Meal 2- Chicken Breast, 1 potato, 2 servings of veggies.
Meal 3- Fish, 1 cup of rice, 2 servings of veggies.
Meal 4- 4-6 tablespoons of PB on 2 slices of Whole Wheat bread with Jam. Apple or banana.
Meal 5- Same as 2.
Meal 6- Same as 3.
Meal 7- Casien/Milk/Fiber/Whey/Berries/Banana.
Cheat meals 1x a week. Other foods like yogurt will be added, this doesn't include Pre/Postworkout shakes.
Training- Now its up in the air. 3x a week with a mix of 5x5, 8-12, 10x10. In other words, Day 1 will be 5x5, Day 2, Prob some circuit training, Day 3 will be 10x10.
Cardio- 6x a week, focusing on sprints 3x and distance training with 25,50,75,100lbs, working my way up to 150lbs on my back while running.
Past/Current Logs. None! Hopefully this will be my first.
Or anything else you'd like us to know. Basically, why should I pick you?
I have been here for a little while, I know my stuff, but not to the level as others. I am a really hard trainer but recently getting back into things. I would keep a very detailed log, with pictures as I just started a workout journal to keep up with my progress. I have used the original and could def tell of any differences between the 2. I have always been a big supporter of Matt Cahill's products cause they deliver results without the crazy ads and BS promises.
I need a kick in the sex drive department as well. I will purchase this product regardless if I get picked or not but I would love the chance to do my first unbiased log for DS!! BB.com needs some new blood to log some products. Just saying.
Thanks!
Edit- I was so excited about this I didn't even see the potential for Lean Xtreme, I will be happy with that stack or AX solo.Last edited by Heracles25; 12-03-2008 at 09:07 PM.

Age 29
no current androgen use.
Not on pst
not currently using anything new.
Currently using,whey protein,casein protein BCAA'S and CMIs red cell no 3 overload and big.
Previous recomp supplements USP labs anabolic pump, two months ago.
I think I'd be an ideal tester due to the fact I've tried a few things in the past some were good some work so so, so I've learned to have a discerning eye.
I think my age is a plus due to the fact that around this time so many people have an interest in getting back in shape so they'd want to see the results of someone close to their age.
Past goals have mostly been achieved I put about an inch on each arm in a year, and dropped my body fat percentage four points
Present goals, maintain steady progress.
Future goals looking to add about 20 pounds in the next year or two and keep the quality inches expanding, while doing away with the negative ones.
Diet is as follows.
Breakfast. Scoop of whey protein 4 eggs 2 cups oatmeal.
meal number two one scoop whey protein powder one scoop casein protein powder 5 g BCAA granola bar.
lunch 14 wheat crackers four tablespoons peanut butter 8 ounces beef jerky.
Meal number four one scoop whey protein powder one scoop casein protein powder 5 g BCAA granola bar.
Pre-workout meal, scoop of whey protein 1 cup oatmeal blended into a shake.
Post workout meal one scoop whey protein one scoop casein protein one scoop branch chain amino acids.
Two potatoes and a can of tuna.
Dinner 8 ounces chicken/beef 3 cups broccoli.
Pre-bed time one scoop casein protein and milk.
Training is as follows.
Monday chest and back.
Tuesday biceps triceps ab's
Wednesday's shoulders traps legs
Thursday chest and back
Friday biceps triceps ab's
Saturday shoulders traps legs ab's
