New Member, First Log! Stoked/Activate

[NutriSci]

Hi everyone. I'm a new member. I've been reading articles on this and other forums for a while and I want to try keeping a log to see my progress and get some pointers

I will be logging Activate Xtreme at 6 pills per day and STOKED at 4 pills per day.

Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 225
Goal: Cut to 11%> body fat
Workout Split:
Monday - Back
Tuesday - Chest
Wednesday - Shoulders
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Arms
Saturday/Sunday - nothing usually

As for cardio, I wrestle and play basketball sometimes.

I'm about to go do my shoulder workout. If anyone has any tips or if anyone wants to know more information, just let me know!

Wish me luck

Anyone have anything interesting to talk about?

Gotta love the leg days fellas. I can't wait to do squats again! I remember when I first started doing squats and how much I hated them, but now they are my favorite. Anyone else have leg day today!?!?!

Things to talk about... welll... I am Canadian so I'm required to bring up hockey Got a favourite sport, wrestling perhaps? MMA Fan, we're home to GSP and we're proud of the guy; not quite sure what the deal with the vaseline was.

Leg day was yesterday for me; I broke my R finger 6 weeks ago so I haven't been doing stiff-leg deads but those are my fav. for hams. I was just watching videos on Hack Squats today; Irish Cannon's log has a few good ones.

Wrestling is my favorite sport, unless bodybuilding is a "sport."

Regarding legs, I have always done dumbbell lunges for hamstrings. How do lunges compare with stiff-leg deads?

Stiff leg deads are a whole new level. Nothing makes me nearly as sore as SLDL's.

Wecome Bud, enjoy Stoked, a great product to stack with AE, any questions about Stoked feel free to pm me.

I see. So you stand on a box and hold a barbell? Keep your legs as straight as possible while bending down, and keeping your head up like a normal dead lift?

Thank you! I appreciate it. Do you mind if we discussed STOKED in the log? Then others could chime in and we could get a big discussion going...

My day was great, as for your PR, makes me even happier; good for you bro. Personally I prefer to dose Stoked on an empty stomach, 15 minutes before breakfast, and 15 minutes before my workout on an empty stomach.

What is the chemical advantage for taking STOKED with meals or on an empty stomach?

Well besides trans-reservatrol and icarrin being testboosters/antiestorgenic, they also produce and allow for nitric oxide production; which in turn will give you more strength and pumps in the gym.

And those effects are more effective if I take them on an empty stomach? If so, I will start doing that from now on.

When one eats they diminish the effects of a nitric oxide booster suppplement because all the blood flow of the body has to go towards the stomach and not to the muscles.

It seems like the 15 minute wait would be little to no help.

And as far as testosterone boosting effects, does it matter if it's with food or without?

eah, 30 is more probable, I just say 15 as a minumum, as far test boosting properties go, yes food will only allow for faster trasnportation of the the compounds. We add piperine and quercetin to add bioavailability to compound so one does not have to take it with soluable fats and food.

I see. Very cool
