    ActivaTe my Pump! MusclePump's ActivaTe Log

    I started the Beta of ActivaTe today by taking the first dose (five caps) prior to my morning workout. As others have pointed out, the regimen is to take five caps, four times a day. I already take close to twenty pills a day, so twenty more won't hurt.

    My workout schedule is as follows:
    Monday - Chest, Biceps, Abs
    Tuesday - Legs, Calves
    Wednesday - Back, Abs
    Thursday - Rest
    Friday - Triceps, Shoulders, Calves
    Weekends - Rest
    I also swim daily.

    I'm currently 186 pounds (an insane amount of weight gain since my pre-contest/contest season just ended a few weeks ago), and eating anywhere between 4,500-6,000 calories a day. They all haven't been clean, but I've been working to fix that up.
    ----------

    I was really surprised that today's workout felt so great. I had gone camping this last weekend and didn't get a lot of sleep and hauled a lot of wood, cut a bunch of logs, hiked a lot of steep inclines, etc... I was pretty tired getting up this morning, and the idea of hitting the weights didn't pique my interest as much as normal. But, of course, I was there. Had breakfast (protein, banana, chocolate milk), my normal vitamins, and ActivaTe, then split.

    Of course I'm not a monetarily endorsed athlete of DS or anything, so I'm not going to make any outrageous claims about their product, but I did have great mind-muscle connection today, great pumps, and I pushed more reps than normal on quite a few exercises. Is it the supplement? With one-fourth of one day into it, I don't know, probably not, but I'm more than happy to keep up this test.

    Chest:
    Decline bench - four sets // 15-12-12-10
    Flat bench - three sets // 12-10-8
    Incline bench - one set // 4
    Incline DB press - three sets // 10-8-8

    Biceps:
    Barbell curls - four sets // 12-12-12-12
    Hammer curls - four sets // 10-10-10-10
    Preacher curls - two sets // 8-8

    Hey MP good luck with you're goals. I have a question for you and anyone else who might know. I have read in allot of training journals, esp. power lifting, that many people train chest and biceps on the same day. I just wondered why.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    My biceps get hit on bench and other presses, so I like to just keep the pressure on while they're feeling the pain already. If I separate them, I feel like my biceps are already tired from days before and I don't get as good a workout.

    They definitely get hit then, too. But I don't worry about it as much because they've already got their big lifts in, so I don't worry about losing strength or reps when I'm trying to train biceps directly.

    Awesome start.

    The active can start working on freeing testosterone literally upon assimilation within your bloodstream, so any little perks you notice already can potentially be attributed to the product.

    Swim practice went well, felt strong. I usually do though after a day off. Thousands of yards in the pool is a damn tough workout; we did a set of eight race 200's. Wow. Pain.

    Took my last five caps of the day at 8:20pm

    Leg workout today. Was a little different than usual; generally I feel strong and almost always have a great day, but I wasn't able to push the big weights as usual today. My endurance felt up and I felt consistent throughout, but nothing overly great. Squats seemed down a bit, a little pain in my lower back.

    Squats - three sets // 15-10-8
    Dead lifts - three sets // 10-8-6
    Lunges - four sets // 8-8-6-6
    Leg extensions - three sets // 12-12-12
    Hip abduction - two sets // 15-15
    Hip adduction - two sets // 12-12

    Swim practice didn't feel great; I felt I had decent endurance again, but my strength just wasn't there. We did a bunch of race 100's and I died out pretty quick.

    Will you be doing bloodwork? I thought I read you would?

    Cool. I love Designer Supps but I've not seen pre and post cycle free test levels (perhaps somebody could provide a link if I missed a log with blood tests). Good luck with the cycle.

    Nothing exceptional tonight at workout (swim). I actually felt very sore and wasn't pulling in fast times at all. We did a set of 20 x 100-meter sprints and I was dying.

    Rob, what's the lasting time on this stuff? What I mean is, after I take each dose, how long is my free test supposed to be increased? I'm trying to figure out if there's a need to take it at certain times of the day. And in the same breath, what happens after this cycle/30-day period is over? When will free test drop back to normal? Is PCT in order? I haven't experienced any gyno symptoms like D has talked about.

    I can't find the thread on AM.com, but some dude reported a 35% increase in free test. That's pretty huge.

    The HL of ActivaTe is about 8hrs, and the HL of free test is about 1.5hrs.

    You can probably get away with dosing 10 caps in the morning and 10 caps in the evening.

    After the cycle is over, your body will reclaim it's abaility to bind free test, yeah. No PCT because there's been no shutdown.

    Some users have reported that the effects of ActivaTe appear to continue a few days after cessation of use.

    Can't get any weight work in while I'm here, but I've been in the pool. Felt good today; strong, very strong. Still taking the ActivaTe, but I've started taking two doses of five earlier in the day (one after waking, one in the afternoon) and then ten before bed.

    I've been sleeping like shit lately. I don't know what it is necessarily from, but it started after my second day on ActivaTe.

    Also, Rob, what are some of the ingredients in this stuff? When I burp after it, it's the most vile taste I've ever had to displeasure of dealing with

    lol - like a burnt charcoal taste? Take BEFORE food to prevent this. That way, the food sits on top of the caps in your stomach.

    The ingredient is divanil - from stinging nettle root.

    Still can't sleep for shit. And as far as I can tell, I'm the only one suffering this problem. But it's a killer. This isn't going to be able to last much longer.

    Anyways, I've also notice that if I don't take my first dose until afternoon (like having it in my checked bags and having a delayed flight), my nipples start itching like hell. Goes away after I take five or ten pills. Very strange. I'm thinking about starting 20mg of Nolva ED or EOD if this keeps up. Nothing puffy though, no bumps, but they itch like mad.

    Yep, it's amazingly odd. I had to feel it out another day before I posted about it. If I go too far into the morning WITHOUT taking it, my nipples bother the shit out of me. Then I take it, and it goes away in a bit of time.

    Popped 20mg of Nolva. Not sure if I should do 40? Maybe 20 ED instead of EOD? Rob, what kind of stuff have your other testers reported as far as gyno symptoms?

    I've read of two other testers saying their nipples felt awkward. The first ws only for a day and disappeared. No other mention was made of it by the user.

    There's currently another tester saying he's getting tingling. Nothing sore though. You two must be really super-responders.

    However, i really don't understand why your nipples itch without the dosing.

    I don't understand it either. And, I'd like to think I'm just responding well. Because when I was on M1T, my nipples never felt a thing, so I don't think it has anything to do with being prone to estrogen.

    Decent swims today. The nolva seems to adequately be squashing the itchy nips.
