I just received the supplements in the mail today. I will also begin with the testing on Monday. 20 pills a day, wow.
Sometime this weekend I will put up a before picture along with current measurements to help guage the progress over the next 30 days.
Just like Marc, I will mainly be commenting on the effects it seems to be having on my body and well being. There will not be much talk about my exact training regimen. Trust me, im gonna push it.
Wish us luck and safe testes,
Ronnie

Well, it’s Thursday evening. I don’t start the Activate until Monday, but I thought I would give you a little preview. Here is a look at what arrived in the mail today. A big shiny white bottle filled with the magic potion. Pictured with it is the recommended daily dosage for the beta portion of the test. This will be split up into 5 pills, 4 times per day. We will be consuming a 30 day supply for the test.
Now, just from looking at this bottle and being the positive thinker that I am, I went to the gym tonight to do my chest routine. I was feeling good after a 15 minute warm-up on the treadmill to get the blood flowing. I thought to myself, once I get done with my 3 warm-up bench sets, let’s add 10 pounds to my bench workout and see what happens. Well, I completed all 3 workout sets with the additional weight. Sweet,…. patted myself on the back and went on to finish the rest of my chest workout.
Could it be that this stuff is already working and I haven’t even taken it yet? Some sort of inter-kinetic energy I received just by touching the bottle? LOL, doubt it, but thought you guys would get a kick out of my story.
Anyway, I will keep you posted.
Ronnie

Today was day 1 of the 30 day Activate Beta Test. I downed my 20 pills throughout the day along with meals.
7am with breakfast
11am with lunch
3:30 with snack
8pm with dinner
I do not notice any type of effects at all. Nothing negative or positive as of yet. Lets give it a few more days to get into the system and I will report again.

Just another update. I wanted to post my beginning stats for those interested.
Weight 200
BF% 27
Neck 16
Chest 44
Waist 39
Bicep 2930
Forearm 11.25
Thighs 4546
Calves 15.25
I just got my calipers in the mail today and I have to say i was extremely surprised at my BF%. This is alarming to me. Hopefully I measured it correctly. I knew it was going to be a little high because I have concentrated on bulking, but I was like WTF!. So beginning today, its extra cardio and a slightly stricter diet. I have to lower that ASAP.

Day 4, still no noticable affects at all. Workouts seem to be with the same intensity. Mood and energy seem to be normal. Im guessing its just now really getting into the system.

Last night around 10pm I began to have this strange itching sensation all over my body. I was most noticable in my hands, upper legs and head. Very strange. It kept me up for 2-3 hours. It continues this morning. Im not sure if its the Activate, or something else. Im going to try and make it through the day without making any changes.

The itchy sensation stuck with me and didnt seem to want to go away on its own. It was driving me insane because you cant satisfy it by scratching. Its also putting a huge dent in my sleep. Either its reacting to something im taking or my body is having an alergic type reaction to it. I am taking a multivitamin, fish oil, and Glucosamin with Condroitin and MSM. I have also been taking a vitamin pack called Youth Cocktail for the last couple of months. My mother in law had a ton of it left over, so I just started taking it. It has a lot of stuff in it. You can find the ingredients at the following site. http://www.thane.com/html/products/be/youthcocktail/ycingredients.html
At about 3:30am Saturday morning, i decided that I wasnt going to take any more over the weekend. Very restless night. I did not take any pills Saturday or today (Sunday). I felt normal all day today with no itching at all.
Im going to start taking them again tomorrow morning. This time I will not be taking any of my other vitamins except for the fish oil.
TWIN? Do you have any suggestions?
Ronnie

Only take 10 caps for the first day, and see if you itch. If not, try 15 the next day. You may need to build some sort of mini-tolerance up to the extract if it really is the activate causing the itching.

Ok, I started taking them again today. I eased into it with only 12 capsules. So far so good for today. Im going to take another 12 tomorrow and see what happens.

12 more pills today. Two days in a row at 12 pills. Had a very slight itching early in the morning, but nothing to bad. Today has been ok also. Im going to bump it up to 16 tomorrow.
Had a great chest workout. Seem to feel stronger, but we all have our days.

Today is Day 10 of the Activate test. I had skipped last weekend due to the itching sensation, but not sure that makes much difference.
I took 16 pills today. Trying to bump it up little by little. I still feel a slight itching sensation, but nothing like it was at the end of the first week. Im hoping I now have a tolerance for it.
Today was arm day. Biceps and Triceps. Killer workout and I felt really good. This seems to be the third day in a row that I have added weight to all my normal routines. We all have our good days, but at this point, I think we might be onto something here. Its like you have an increase in strength, but you really cant pinpoint anything. I just bang out 6 heavy reps to failure. Im following the Max-OT routine. Another thing I notice is that each set almost feels fresh after you rest for a few minutes. Sorta like a renewed type energy.
Im feeling positive about this stuff, but its only been a short time. Hopefully gains will continue.
Ronnie

Ok guys, this is getting a little freaky. I have been working out pretty hard and solid for a little over a year now, but have never had the kind of strength and recovery that I have experienced this week and especially tonight. Im not sure if im breaking out of some plateau, pushing myself harder, or if this stuff is contributing, but listen to this little story about tonights shoulder and trap workout.
Feeling good tonight (actually pretty good all week) and headed down to the gym for the shoulder and trap workout. My workout consisted of the following exercises:
Front Overhead Barbell Press 3x6
Wide Grip Upright Rows 2x6
Narrow Grip Upright Rows 2x6
Side Lateral Dumbell Raise 3x6
Dumbell Shrugs 3x6
I added significant weight to all my exercises. Shrugs were insane with the 95lb dumbells because I can barely hold onto the damn things. Wanted to do a lot more. The above workout took about 40 minutes and I really didnt even feel like it phased me. Each set was done to complete failure except the shrugs which needed more weight or more reps, but as I mentioned earlier, It was tough hanging onto the dumbells with my hands. A short rest period between sets for each exercise was all I needed and I banged out the next set almost as if it were a fresh set. This was happening with all exercises. I am thinking at this point that this is impossible to have this much energy, strenght, and recovery.
Well, my workout was done. I was suppose to leave and call it a day, but I gave in and thought hmmmm..... I gotta try something.
I walked over to the overhead press machine to see what I could squeeze out. I thought lets try 110 just to finish this off. I thought after doing my full routine above, this would be all I could handle. I pumped out 5 reps like nothing. Ok, that was waaaayyyyy to easy. Lets crank it up to 150 and see what happens. BAM..... 5 reps like nothing and still feeling light. Ok, this is a little freaky and should not be like this. Maybe 170? Ya, what the hell. BAM.... busted out 6 more reps. All this after totally killing myself with the original workout. This IS one of the best nights I have ever had. Actually, the whole week has been incredible. I was simply amazed. I felt like I could have moved on to other body parts and just kept on going all night. I got up and left the gym feeling extremely positive about the past week. Even as I sit here and write this (3 hours later) I am having thoughts of going down there and hitting it again. Too bad they are closed :-)
No itching at all today with 16 capsules. Im gonna do the recommended 20 tomorrow.
If its the supplement that is giving me this weeks workout on a platter, then you can damn sure count me in for some refills when it becomes available.
Lets hope the next two weeks produce the same feelings and results.
Take care and goodnight.
Ronnie
