I am a little behind starting my log due to a Respiratory Infection that had me out of the gym for 3 weeks. A big thanks to the CL guys for allowing me to log this product for them. I previously ran a two bottle log of Gen 1 Red Acid. After I ironed out the lethargy issue, I had solid results with the product.
Because of the recent unplanned layoff from the gym, I am going to be running a pretty conservative lifting routine to what I was running. Basically, I am going to run a 3 day split "Hardgainers" type workout, followed with 20 minutes of mod-high intensity cardio and do 45 minutes of low-mod intensity cardio on my off days with Sundays completely off.
Day One:
Dips 2 x 6-8
DB Incline Press 2 x 10-12
DB Shoulder Press 2 x 6-8
Tricep Rope Pushdowns 2 x 10-12
Day Two:
Pull-Up 3 sets to failure
Barbell Row 2 x 8
Dumbell Curl 1 x 10
Heavy Abs 3 x 10
Day Three
Squats 2 x 10
Deadlifts, or Stiff-Legged Deadlift 1 x 10
Reverse Hypers 2 x 8-10
Example Diet for today:
6:15 - 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup ff cottage cheese, 1 oz almonds
9:00 - 8 oz roasted chicken with 3 cup romain salad
11:30 - Lifting
1:00 - PWO Shake
3:00 - 8 oz meatloaf (healthy style), 1.5 cups steamed broccoli
6:00 - 8 oz grilled chicken breast, 1.5 cups green beens
9:00 - 1 cup ff cottage cheese, 1 oz walnuts
I also supplement with Sesathin, Fish Oil and Lecithin, so add ~150 calories for my EFAs.
If I remember correctly, that puts me at about 2500-2700 calories with pretty much a 40/35/25 split.
Starting weight and measurements to come later.

I took a single dose of RA 60 minutes prior to heading to the gym. No jitters, no noticable energy increases, so no noticable effects as of now 2.5 hours after taking it.
Workout:
Dips 2x8 @ BW
DB Incline Press 2x12 @ 45
DB Shoulder Press 2x8 @ 30
Tricep Rope Pushdowns 2x12 @ 50
20 minutes eliptical Interval Cardio (Average Heart Rate ~ 135bpm)
Workout was good, my strength seems ok, but my muscle endurance is shot. The first 50% of the reps were cake, the next 25% still easy, but that last 25% took some work.

I will weigh in on Wed. I would guess 250ish since I expect a little rebound after recovering from the flu.
I am beginning the 2x a day dosing. I am noticing a slight increase in energy levels, but nothing jittery. Maybe I didn't notice them when taking it preworkout because the workout kick my butt.
I have a full day meeting today and I am on baby duty tonight, so today is an off day. I did get in about 2 hours of soccer over the weekend though.

Just a quick update:
I would say that the RA has caused absolutely no appetite suppression for me.
Energy levels are a little higher, I mostly notice this 30-40 minutes after my workouts. I will be totally whiped out from lifting, but then my energy levels will slowly climb back to a little higher than normal.
I think I sweat a little more while taking RA, not much, but it's hard to tell because the HAVC in this building has a mind of it's own.
