Strategicmove's Partly Sponsored IGF-2/Lean Xtreme/Activate Xtreme/AP/P-Slin Log
Start: Friday, February 1st, 2008
Planned End: Saturday, March 1st, 2008
Total Duration: About 30 days.
Vital Statistics (February 1st, 2008):
Height (m): 1.9
Height (ft) 6.3
Weight (kg): 107.8
Weight (lbs): 237.7
Objectives:
1) The core objective of this stack is simple: to shed as much fat as possible while preserving as much lean mass as possible. Losing up to 2% BF within 30 days may be realistic.
Success Criteria (Important Things to Measure During the Stack):
- Fat Loss
- Increased Anti-Catabolism/Preservation of Lean Mass
- Increases in Strength and Endurance
Frequency of Body Parameter Measurements:
I will measure my Weight, BF%, Lean Mass %, and Body Water % at least three times during the stack.
Frequency of Log Update:
About three times a week.
Overall Comments:
My workout will consist of weight training and cardio. I will do cardio three times a week, preferably prior to workout (for warm up) and at the end of my workout. I will do full-body, not split, training. The key for me is to ensure my base metabolic rate stays elevated, and to ensure the existence of supportive conditions for anabolism.
I will eat three meals per day.
I would like to thank:
1) Applied Nutriceuticals for the free IGF-2.
2) USPLabs for the free Anabolic Pump and P-Slin
Products in my Stack:
- IGF-2
- Activate Xtreme
- Lean Xtreme
- Relora
- Anabolic Pump
- P-Slin
Other supplements to be used daily:
Multivitamins, Gut Health, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Whey-Soy Protein, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Forskolin (Forslean), Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea Caps, Trisorbagen, Post Cycle Support (for Resveratrol), Osteobolin-C, and PowerFULL (1 capsule before bed, Mondays-Fridays only).
Justification for the choice of products in stack:
Shedding fat, preserving (and enhancing) lean mass, and increasing endurance, strength may be approached from different angles for optimum results. The following are of importance in this setting:
1) cAMP boosting, cGMP boosting, muscle contractions, endurance, strength (achieved by icariin, safed musli, rhodiola, forskolin, dodder seed, ashwagandha, green tea, OPC. Compounds are partly contained in Activate Xtreme, Post Cycle Support, and IGF-2 and used as standalone)
2) Glucocorticoid antagonism / prolactin inhibition / growth-hormone release / testosterone modulation (achieved by icariin via increased dopamine, rhodiola via increased dopamine and serotonin, mucuna pruriens (L-Dopa), PureSap, PureDopa,
safed musli, 5-AT, 7OH, Divanil™, basella alba, Relora, Ashwagandha. Compounds are in IGF-2, Activate Xtreme, Lean Xtreme, PowerFULL, Relora, Post Cycle Support)
3) Glycogen and creatine-phosphate boosting / insulin modulation (rhodiola, Tannis Complex (Lagerstroemia
speciosa), Gymnema Sylvestre, Phellodendron HCL. Compounds in IGF-2, Anabolic Pump, P-Slin)
4) Protein synthesis (icariin, green tea extract. Compounds in Activate Xtreme, Lean Xtreme, Post Cycle Support)
5) Aromatase Inhibition (Icariin, OPC, Indole-3-Carbinol. Compounds in Activae Xtreme, Post Cycle Support, and standalone)
6) Thyroid metabolism, fat metabolism, appetite modulation (green tea extract via CCK, forskolin. Compounds in Lean Xtreme).
7) Adrenal support (Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Resveratrol, Grape Seed Extract. Compounds in IGF-2, Post Cycle Support, standalone).

Workout Days (Gym Days)
Before Breakfast (empty stomach):
4 IGF-2

Results and Comments:
Days 1 - 5 (Friday, February 1 - Tuesday, February 5th)
Fat Loss
I can already notice some improved leanness around my waist and abdominals. More specific results will be available after taking the first set of measurements.
Increased Anti-Catabolism/Preservation of Lean Mass
I currently do not feel as if I have lost lean mass on this stack. More details will be available after taking the first readings of my statistics. Nevertheless, I fell some broader shoulder definition, as well as some more girth in my upper arms.
Increases in Strength and Endurance
I am definitely seeing some noticeable improvements in these areas. My threshold in resistance training get easier to subdue.
Further comments
I am satisfied with the stack thus far. As is obvious, to lose weight and retain lean mass, caloric intake should stay below maintenance. Consequently, my caloric intake is restricted to about 12.5% below maintenance. This amounts to about 2260 calories daily. The split is 40% carbs/40% proteins/20% fat, or 900kcal carbs/900kcal proteins/450kcal fat. In grammes, this translates to 226gr carbs/226 gr proteins/50gr fat. My plan is to "train" Anabolic Pump and P-Slin on low carbs and slowly ramp up.
