To Start Things Out...

About Me/Goals:

Well, i'm Nik. I'm 18, and i've been busting my ass in the gym for about 1 year. I started out extremely skinny fat, sitting in at about 150lbs and 28%BF . Lately, after about one year of bulking and cutting i've got to 155 11%BF. Now, i'm 160 12-13%BF, and ready to put on some MAJOR muscle strength and hopefully keep my BF down while doing so!

[Elmy]

Subb'd bro, your last month of ActivaTe was awesome to follow, I'll be here for the long haul!

[EuphoriaPL]

how old are u and would u recommend this on a cut or bulk?

[Big_Tom(tk)]

Im in for round 2!!

[needmoarmuscle]

[uhockey]

On board - it'll be awesome to see how the stack compares - esp in regard to leaning out while putting on more size.

round 2? subscribed!

[-NB-]

Thanks guys!!! Glad to have you all along!

[-NB-]

how old are u and would u recommend this on a cut or bulk?

I'm 18.

From what i can tell Activate would be great on either a cut or a bulk. I made some really nice strength gain and added 8 pounds while bulking, so i know for a fact it works well there.
For cutting i can see it being great for adding/maintaining strength and possibly aiding in fat loss. I'd maybe go with a slightly higher carb/ almost recomp cut though.

I cant really say yet about the lean xtreme thogh cuz i'm just starting it, but form what i've heard its Obviously good on a cut/recomp but its also supposed to be good at reducing any fat gain while bulking (i guess we'll see though )

Recovery/Muscular Fullness:
Great pump going today, could it be possible Activate is already "re" kicking in?

The pumps seemed to did down about a week after ceasing use after one month (still were stronger than normal, but they were noticeably less then when i was popping activate). Today it was back at that "on" kinda strong pump. Very enjoyable.


Endurance:
Endurance has definitely kept up through the "off" period and i still feel it. Before i was on activate i wouldn't be able to push my self so hard on every set without changing lowering the weight.


Mentality:
I was suddenly relaxed and in a good mood today and yesterday? Coincidence? possibly....

No Alpha male/aggressive mentality in gym yet, but then again it is only day three. I kinda figure it should probably kick into full gear in another day or two?


Libido:
Oddly enough it was EXTREMELY high yesterday and today. Higher then it was all of last month. I'm excited to see if this continues!


Joints:
Feelin fine so far
Though my body did take a beating with the 5 working sets per exercise!


Last Nights Sleep:
I still can't get enough!! Going to sleep is actuality an enjoyable experience now!


Water Intake:
1.5 gallons


Anything else:
-I haven't done Arnolds or Seated Military since the week before starting my first month on Activate. I went back to them today and was glad to break my previous PR's!
-Overall good workout.
-Now i'm dead tired. TIME TO SLEEP!!!

KILLER leg workout today.

I was going to go high volume, but one of the trainers at the gym who i'm cool with was doing legs today to so i ended up working out with him. Not as high volume but fckin KILLER intesity. GREAT workout. Broke my Squats PR too!

Update coming tonight, stay tuned!

[haiz69]

Nice to see the PR's keep coming!!

Also nice to see some effects lasted throughout the off period...Great stuff!

Day 4

The Workout:LEGS

Squats: 255x6, 255x6, 255x6 205x15, 165x20, 165x18

SLDL: 215x8, 215x8, 215x8, 215x8, 215x8

Bike: High resistance, hard. 30min


Recovery/Muscular Fullness:
HUGE pump going in my legs. Holy ****, i could barly do full ROM on the last set cuz i was so pumped up!


Endurance:
Strength was up judging by how i was able to get the other two sets 255 which i wasn't able to last week. Endurance i was totaly deaddd by my last set of squats but i think i was definitely able to push my self harder than normal.


Mentality:
ha i can till its kicking in, i'm getting that relaxed stress free feel during the day again!

No extra Alpha male/aggressive mentality in gym yet..


Libido:
Still HIGH. Wtf? haha idk maybe coincidence because it is higher than the whole last cycle


Joints:
Feelin fine so far


Last Nights Sleep:
7hours DEEP. Its amazing. Usualy i cant function on less than 8 preferably 9 hours of sleep, but lately i've been waking up easier and have more energy though out the day. Definitely a big plus in my book.


Water Intake:
1.5 gallons


Anything else:
-The 255 to the 205 was a super set and almost killed me. lol i could barely breath after . Then with the rest of the 2 highrep sets i couldn't walk. I had to call it quits after SLDL

[EuphoriaPL]

only 2 excercises on leg day? wow id say thats way too little.

if i were u id do some lunges, leg extensions, and leg curls on top of the 2 u did already.
