Lean Mass, Fat loss, and Strength Gains w/ Activate Xtreme and Lean Xtreme

**Sean15782** · 12-24-2008, 04:11 PM

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to be logging the Activate Xtreme and Lean Xtreme stack from Driven Supplements

Heres a little info about each:

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 supports a healthy libido.
More Info: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dr...atextreme.html

Lean Xtreme is one of the best non-stimulant based fat burner made. That is a lofty claim, we know; but we also believe it's true. Lean Xtreme targets multiple pathways to assist fat loss while maintaining muscle tone and optimizing the body's immune function in order to promote the ideal fat burning, muscle sparing environment.

ABOUT ME
Im 20 years old and a natural bodybuilder. I've been training for 4 years, seriously with bodybuilding in mind for just about 3. I was a wrestler in high school and have always been what you'd call athletic.

I am 100% focused on bodybuilding now, and I make all the sacrifices necessary to be the best at what I love. I won my last OCB show in the teen and novice divisions this past summer and I am now focused soley on improving my physique to the level needed to earn a natural pro card!

I am currently 182lbs at about 10% bodyfat and my goal for this stack is to reach 186-188lbs while gaining relatively no bodyfat. This is a lofty goal for just one month, but I believe with the help of ACT Xtreme and LEAN Xtreme I can accomplish this!

I will have my workout schedule and nutrition protocol up shortly and the logging will begin on January 3rd once I return from seeing Michigan State play Georgia in the Capital One Bowl!

I will update my weight daily, and impressions, and workouts starting tomorrow!

**Sean15782** · 01-10-2009, 12:56 PM

I had the extra meal yesterday, but didnt get to sleep till very late.

Woke up today at 180.2 feeling very well rested. Today is an off-day, I would normally do cardio but since I am treating this as a "bulking" phase, I don't want to over do the cardio.

**Sean15782** · 01-10-2009, 01:36 PM

Here is a basic layout of my workout schedule:

Monday: Back Width/Shoulders/Tris

Wednesday: Chest/Biceps/Calves

Thursday: Additional quad work/HIIT cardio

Friday: Back Thickness/Shoulders

Sunday: Quads/Hamstrings/Biceps/Calves

**Sean15782** · 01-11-2009, 09:34 AM

181.6 this morning.

Slept seven hours, but I feel like I slept 9-10. Just had Meals 1 and 2, and I am going to go hit legs in about 2 hours.

My workout will go something like:

Barbell Squats
SLDL/RDL hybrid
Leg Press
Lying Leg Curls
Leg Extensions

Biceps:
D-bell Curls
Cable Bar Curls

Calves:
Smith Machine Standing Calf Raises

**Sean15782** · 01-11-2009, 10:53 AM

A few goals for the log:

- Get my bodyweight up to 190lbs, as lean as possible
- Squat 275+ for 8 reps
- Imphasize calves and biceps to bring them into proportion w/ quads and tri's

**Sean15782** · 01-11-2009, 11:30 PM

Felt very strong today during the workout!

I hit 255 x 8 reps on the squat so that will be the baseline for the log.

**Sean15782** · 01-12-2009, 01:22 PM

I had my first meal today before I remembered to weigh myself so I will wait to tomorrow to get an accurate weight up.

I hit Back Width/Shoulders/Tri's a couple hours ago. I had a great pump going throughout the workout, and I looked bigger than I ever have before while practicing posing after I was done lifting.

On a side note: Im not feeling as much DOMS as usual after pounding Legs/Bis yesterday. This may be due to the deeper sleep I seem to be getting since I started the Act X/Lean X combo.

**Sean15782** · 01-12-2009, 01:25 PM

My workout schedule will be changing to accomodate my current work/school schedule.

Sunday - Back Width/Shoulders/Triceps
Monday - OFF
Tuesday - Quads/Hams/Biceps/Calves (HIIT cardio)
Wednesday- Back Thickness/Shoulders
Thursday - OFF
Friday - Chest/Biceps/Calves (HIIT cardio)
Saturday - OFF

I'm taking tomorrow off since I just hit legs yesterday, and them im jumping on the new schedule starting wednesday.

Not bad at all!

**Sean15782** · 01-13-2009, 01:16 PM

Msauka- Thanks, but there's still a lot of work to be done! I hit cardio/abs today, and the new split starts tomorrow. It will be a good test of the strength increase aspect of the Activate Xtreme.

So far I haven't noticed anything from the Lean Xtreme, but being a non-stim I wasn't expecting to. It just has to do it's job in helping me stay as lean as possible as I continue gaining size.

Thats exactly it. If you are doing it correctly you shouldnt feel LX, you should just see the results.

**Sean15782** · 01-13-2009, 03:05 PM

That's the plan!

Heres a couple pics from around my last show. I was about 160 in these...

Crazy lean, what kind of macros were you following during the diet?

**Sean15782** · 01-13-2009, 06:34 PM

Thanks for the complement! I could have gotten leaner for sure, but it was definitely the best I've ever looked!

I started at 250g carb, 225g protein, and 60g of fat, and over the course of 20 weeks I went down to 100g carb, 225g protein, 60g fat. I also had re-feeds incorporated twice a week with extra carbs and slightly lower protein levels.

I did manage to get slightly leaner than the pictures show here, and my last week really filled me out.

**Sean15782** · 01-14-2009, 05:52 AM

181.8 this morning, I am dying to hit the gym later today!

**Sean15782** · 01-14-2009, 05:52 PM

182.4 this morning, feeling good from yesterdays workout.

I'm headed to the gym now to get quads and some light cardio in.

**Sean15782** · 01-15-2009, 11:35 PM

ABS

NOTE: I'm always excited to workout, but this week I have had a hard time not thinking about my next workout.

Chest/Biceps/Calves tomorrow!

**msauka** · 01-16-2009, 12:00 AM

Oh man, I hate those lunges so much!

**Sean15782** · 01-16-2009, 10:32 AM

I just remind myself that every lunge is carving out a tiny bit more leg seperation, and all my hard work will pay off on-stage!

**msauka** · 01-16-2009, 12:37 PM

Inner motivation is always very helpful!

**Sean15782** · 01-16-2009, 12:50 PM

It is absolutely essential in my opinion if you ever want to achieve your goals, in bodybuilding AND life. You cannot rely on outside forces to get you going! If you want it, get it.

182.6 this morning, headed off to the gym right now!
