Du's Activa Te

Hey ya. I am one of the fortunate few who have been chosen to test the Beta version of Designer Supps newest supplement, called ActivaTe. According to them, it is supposed to bind to SHBG, allowing for greater free test. At least, that is how I understand it.

http://www.designersupps.com/product...products_id=25

Ill be taking 5 caps at a time, 4 times per day. I dont know the dosages; I dont think we are allowed to know. Along with my ActivaTe, Ill be sticking to my normal supplementation routine - just whey and multi's. I havent taken creatine mono since December, and I ran Rob's Maximum Pump product for 4 days (good stuff).

I have been slowly cutting for a few weeks now. I hate cutting with a passion, I love to grow. I am hoping ActivaTe will help cut up a little quicker, so I can get back to putting on mass.

Currently, I am lifting at least 4x per week, hitting each body part at least twice. I intend to post my workouts, as well as my intakes. Further to those, I intend to post my reaction and thoughts about this product. Ill discuss how I feel, how I think, and how I react. Anything that I feel even MAY be associated with the ActivaTe will be logged in here.

If there is anything you guys wanna know, wanna see, wanna hear... just post it up. I may not post everyday, but Ill write about each day.

Here is to some good results

Haha. You still bitter about that? I made this new journal just to log my test. I had to. My other one will probably be on sabbatical for the next month.

Ill be doin my routine, no changes in my liftin habits.

**Robboe** · 05-08-2005, 02:49 PM

Good shit.

Not everyone is noticing the effects of ActivaTe immediately like some, or like most are experiencing using the NHA stack, so don't make any silly drops in calories expecting to hold onto all your muscle just yet. Make sure you feel it take effect (mood, feeling, pumps, strength etc...) before you make drastic changes.

Hell ya I'm still bitter, you BOYCOTTED me

J/K buddy. I know what your doing. I'm really interested to see your results here. So did they give you the Activate for free?

**Robboe** · 05-09-2005, 03:14 AM

He got a 30-day supply free of charge, yes.

**Rocco32** · 05-09-2005, 04:35 AM

You had to wait until I start the superdrol before you asked for volunteers didn't you?

**Robboe** · 05-09-2005, 09:14 AM

I purposely waited, yeah.

Wanted to do them 2 weeks ago, but you took your damn time.

**King Silverback** · 05-09-2005, 06:32 PM

Brother Du!!! Hows it goin? Sounds pretty Interesting, I'm on a cut too, and I HATE it with a passion!!!

**Pylon** · 05-09-2005, 07:12 PM

Good luck with the test. I'll be interested to see the results...

9 may 2005Today was day one of my ActivaTe trials. I didnt think it would be a great day to start, as my entire routine is a bit different. Today through Wednesday, Ill be in NYC for a seminar, instead of going to work like regular. So, my eating habits are a bit different, as is my routine

I took 20 pills today, 4 sets of 5. I took them evenly split out, starting at anbout 8 am. (8/12/4/8) Swallowing them was not a big deal at all, as some people complained about.

Diet:
Strawberrys / Raspberries / Blackberrys for breakfast at the seminar
Grilled chicken sandwich with onions, water for lunch
A cookie
Chinese Chicken & Rice for dinner

Lots of water all day
No protein shake, forgot them at home. Pretty upset about that.

My workout:

Flat DB Bench:
30s*5
40s*5
75s*5
100s*10 (PB since my regular gym only goes to 90's)

CG Pulldowns
30*5
90*5
195*6 (not too happy, didnt like this machine)

Seated Rows
45*5
150*5
210*6

OH DB Mil Press
25s*5
40s*5
55s*5
75s*12
100s*4 (Awesome PB)

OH Tri Ext
20s*5
60*5
100*9 (Again, PB)

DB Curls
25s*5
30s*5
55s*12

DB Wrist Curls (with my forearm flat on the bench)
35*8
55*12

Before lifting, I had just eaten and was lying in bed w/my girl. I didnt want to get up and lift, but she knows how upset Id be if I didnt go, so she talked me into it. Im glad I got up. She ended up being my occasional spotter and record-keeper.

My db flat bench was nice, felt pretty good. Pulldowns sucked, rows sucked. Theyre both on machines im not used to, so that may be a reason. The DB mil press was nice, I got the 75's on my regular reps. Then some said somethin about me dion 100's, so I had to prove I could do it. I thought Id get just one, but I got FUCKING 4. The OH Tri Ext was good too, happy with that. Again, i was able to get to the 100 mark. DB curls felt nice, got the 55s for 12. Wrist curls equally good.

Obviously, Im feelin some good new PB's. Good workout.

Im pumped right now, but Im immediately post workout. I dont get these frequently, but who knows. I did notice a bit of a raise in BP, with the slight headache and full face that I always get when my BP is high (like w/Dianabol, m1t, etc)

Good day.

**LW83** · 05-09-2005, 08:09 PM

OH DB Mil Press
25s*5
40s*5
55s*5
75s*12
100s*4 (Awesome PB)

**PreMier** · 05-09-2005, 10:15 PM

Doing things seated isnt a great idea IMO, due to compression of the spine. Plus standing will put greater emphasis on the lats and core.

Are you getting blood work?

**Pirate!** · 05-09-2005, 10:32 PM

Good luck with the journey, du. I reiterate my advice that keeping this journal specifically about the Activa Te and limiting the banter and discussions of diet and such is the best way for those who are just interested in the product to be able to learn about it. Sorry I couldn't join you for this one. I've no doubt that you will do a great job evaluting the product. I also have no doubt that if I paid you $20 you would praise it up and down even if it gave you the shits.

Very good point. I'm quite amazed at the state of it despite only one log entry so far!

**Rocco32** · 05-10-2005, 03:15 AM

Nice w/o Du and great PB's!

**King Silverback** · 05-10-2005, 03:51 AM

Great w/o and awesome job on the PB's!!! Big, BIG movers there Brother, way to go!!!

Premier: I am more conformtable doing them sitting down on a bench. I was only moving 100 pounders, Ill worry about the crushing of my spine when I get to big weights. No bloodwork.

Rocco: Thanks boss, it was a good workout. It helped that I had people giving me a mental push. I usually dont have shit.

Pirate: Thanks for the words. I feel that in order to get a full idea of the product, I need to include external variables. I wouldnt praise your product for $20. For $25, maybe, but not $20.

In all seriousness though... I know what I like and what I dont. I am writing about how I feel, and changes in how I feel. Numbers can speak for themselves. Its the best I can do, but its 100% honesty. Thats how I do.

Arch: Thanks there boss. Youll see bigger ones comin up soon enough.

Ill update my log tomorrow night after my lifts.

Hey Robboe:

Since this product binds to SHBG, it elevates free test, correct? Therefore, more free test to aromatize. Therefore, more estrogen. Am I incorrect somewhere?

Im thinking an AI or SERM will be in order soon. Good thing I have a small amount of nolva on hand.

What do you think?

You'd think, yeah, but there are other activate testers not using AI/SERM and having complained of any side effects other than slight increase in acne. After three days one tester noted an itchy nipple, but nothing came of it.

Keep your nolva on hand in case, yeah, but the only estrogen-effect i would imagine would happen is a slight increase in bloat.
