Amino89's 50 Day Log with the NHA Trio (STOKED, Activate Xtreme, and X-Factor)

[size=+2]FINAL REVIEW[/size]
(I could only get 3 photos taken. The 2 above and a leg picture. I will post leg pics if requested, they are pretty comparable to the original photos execept the legs are pretty much covered with hair LOL.
So the only thing you can really tell is they gained a bit of mass since the past photos)[size=+1]Weight Gain: 5/10[/size]
174.5 lbs.. I gained a total of 4.5 lbs. during the 50 day log which was about a pound every 10 days. I do a lot of low-intensity cardio mostly unintentional (walking dogs, etc.) so that plus not eating enough Calories in the beginning was the main problem. I started eating about 3000 Calories in the beginning of the log, and ended at 4400 Calories. I still stayed relatively lean in doing so.
Pumps: 9/10
The pumps were awesome, I experienced skin tearing pumps nearly every workout. Sometimes pumps became painful and restricted ROM that's why I didn't rate it at a perfect "10". The pumps would often last about an hour post-workout.
DOMS: 8/10
DOMS were very apparent for the majority of the log. They really started to kick in around week 3 right before heading into my second bottle of X-Factor. The soreness usually didn't set in 100% until 1-2 days after the weight lifting session but they would last up to about 2 days before hitting that muscle group again. I was pretty sore the duration of the 50 days.
Mood/Alpha Male Mentality: 10/10
Oh yeah! This effect was BA! I felt like an animal just thinking about lifting. I loved the confidence the trio gave me, and I constantly had the drive and desire to lift. It was hard at times to leave the gym after an hour of lifting, I was extremely happy with the alpha male mentality the stack gave me.
Sleep: 7/10
Sleep quality was good throughout the stack. The part where the product really stood out is in vivid dream recall. Some nights I could recall 2-3 dreams in great amount of detail, I wasn't expecting this effect from the stack but I'd say it was a positive, gave me something to think about some mornings.
Strength: 10/10
Strength was unbeatable on this stack. I set a ton of PR's throughout the 50 days and was VERY impressed with this aspect of the stack. I felt stronger each workout, and gained a lot of raw power from the trio.
Here's a couple instances of how much strength went up
Squats 335 x 10 --> 345 x 10
Leg Extension 200 x 10 --> 220 x 10
DB Lunges 50 x 10 --> 65 x 10
DB Flat Bench 90 x 8 --> 95 x 8
Deadlifts 315 x 10 --> 335 x 8
Pull-ups (last set on Back workout to failure) 8 --> 18!
Reverse-Grip Bench Press 190 x 9 --> 205 x 8
Seated DB Overhead Extension 100 x 10 --> 100 x 18
Libido: 3/10
My libido was good throughout the 50 days, but the reason I give it a 3/10 is because I felt a MUCH MUCH more noticeable rise in libido when running both Activate and STOKED solo. When the two were stacked it seemed to not be as intense from my experience. The last week or so is when I finally started to see a noticeable increase.
Side Effects:
I encountered a few side effects throughout the 50 day stack. The most notable was the increased sweating intra-workout, and DOMS. I had 2 headaches on the cycle, and I feel it was most likely due to issues of not being hydrated enough. Side effects were not that bad though, I would definitely run the stack again without the worries of encountering side effects the only one that was really "adverse", IMO was the headaches.
Appetite: 3/10
My appetite did increase as the log progressed but not anything crazy, that I would say it was an appetite stimulant.
Overall: 8/10
Overall I was pretty impressed with the trio for 50 days. I got the benefit of pro-inflammation which leads to hypertrophy (X-Factor), boosting free testosterone and regulating estrogen (ActivaTe Xtreme and STOKED). I would definitely run the stack again if given the chance, and although I only gained 4.5 lbs. the strength gains alone were justifiable for running the stack.
THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE THAT HAS SUPPORTED, AND FOLLOWED MY LOG. I APPRECIATE IT GUYS!

Really? Considering he only gained 4lbs, his pictures look surprising similar to the beginning pictures. Are you brainwashed, or do you have some sort of neurological impairment like rainman, or awakening? He took several expensive supplements, experienced numerous unpleasant side effects and had a whopping gain of 4lbs after 50 days and you're raving about the results?

i think he was commeding him more for the effort time and dough spent on all this to see what it would get him, and reviewed it for all of us. IMHO amino does look a little more cut and added some bulk on the shoulders.. but that is just me.. EITHER WAY.. thanks for the review and great log man.. i just picked up on this the other day, but it was interresting to watch your progress and hear about your results, pains and everything!

Your right bro I think he looks a little more ripped.
i would say the strength increase is commendable as well. a consistently calorie surplus diet would have lead to more weight, a 1400cal increase is a lot to increase into a routine, imo it should have been done in the beginning.

Look at the beginning pictures, most muscular pose. He looks like he added about 1-2% body fat between the beginning and end. I don't see how anyone can look at those pics and say he lost body fat. His second single bicep picture is taken closer to the camera than the first, making his arm look bigger, when it's just the same size, and looks less defined...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words, and you guys following along.
I'm very glad you stuck it out and followed my log for the entire 50 days, thanks for taking the time out of your day Texan.
x2 I should have incorporated higher Calories from the beginning of the log. Thanks for following nni, I appreciate it man!
I couldn't control the angle/ etc. of the camera I was lucky enough to have someone take them for me. Numerous caliper readings have been reporting 10% so I gained about 1.5 lb. of adipose and 3 lb. LBM.

Very nice results
In any case, you have a great base for 19 years old, and if you stick with it through the years, you will have an incredible body!

Quick question for you amino89- If you stack all three, how do you know which supplement helped you more than others? If I want to do only Stoked+Activate Xtreme, would it not make more sense to do them individually and then compare the results? How long should you stay on either one of them? Take how much time off? Thanks for your time & good luck with everything.
Thanks man! I actually ran every one of these products solo prior to stacking them. So, I could fully gauge where the results were coming from. The strength gains with the trio was incomparable to any supplement/stack that I've ever ran in the past. I stayed on all the 3 products for a full 50 days. I'd take at least 12 weeks off before jumping into it again. I have no plans on a new, next stack. However, for the time being I plan on increasing in strength and lean body mass, and then dialing in the diet in Jan to Feb. for next Spring.

Thanks for the input. If I wasn't stacking the supplements, which one would you say is the best to go with first, between Stoked and Activate Xtreme? How much gap would you give between the two supplements?
By the way, have you ever tried Novedex XT by Gaspari or MHP T bomb 2? Any thoughts or comments on them if you have?
I too will be looking to add mass this winter and then try cutting late winter and early spring.
Thanks for all your help.

Both Stoked and Activate Xtreme would be good choices I would give a month off before running the other
Nope I haven't tried NXT or TBomb II. I'm trying to stay away from things like ATD (NXT) and research has shown Tribulus (which is the main ingredient in Tbomb II) does not boost testosterone so I haven't been to interested in that one. I'd give a month off between the two like workingatit recommended. It's up to you whether you wanted to do STOKED or AX first, I'd do whichever one has peaked your interest more. Good luck man!

x2 good advice!
