A few stats about me:
32 years old. 203-4lbs. Approximately 10.5% BF.

Lifting routine is strictly Invalid Link Removed

USP labs supplements:
1. Anabolic Pump - 3 each day.
2. Pslin - preworkout only (5 days a week)
3. Powerfull - new label directions (3 prior to workout and 2 before bed, 5 days a week with 2 days off).

Auxiliary supplements:
4 tabs or 4g vitamin C
2 tabs multi-vitamin
2 tabs B complex
3-6 caps fish oil
2 tabs glucosamine/chondroitin (joint)
8-12 tabs multi-enzyme formula
2 caps acidophilus
White Flood
Xtend
Whey Gold Standard
Green Magnitude
 
Week 1

Macronutrients:
Calories-3,145
Protein-331 g (42%)
Carbs-355 g (46%)
Fat-40 g (11%)

Qualitative:
1. Noticeably, 3 caps of Powerfull prior to my workout (30 minutes) along side my preworkout/nitric supplement and I am focus, "in the zone" so to speak.
2. Appetite is noticeably up despite a slight change in calories.
3. Vascularity is noticeably up. While most people will say, "no duh” the repetition protocol that I am employing is low rep (4-6 reps). With that said, being 10.5% BF (approximately) and getting great pumps while doing 4-6 reps. Well, I think that speaks for the product (Pslin in this case).

Quantitative:
1. My strength has improved. Either the addition of weight while yielding the same number of reps and/or the addition of reps while using the same weight. Also of interest, I recently hit new maxes, SO an increase after recently maxing is GREAT!
2. Bodyweight and BF% have remained static, despite the increase in calories!

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Increase calories (270), specifically in the form of carbs.
 
good luck with this man im currently on similar minus wf and pf
 
Week 2

Macronutrient breakdown:
1. Protein 303 grams-35%
2. Carbs 417 grams-49%
3. Fats 56 grams-16%
4. Total calories have increased by 270 to a total of 3415 quality calories.

I would like to note that this would bring my total carb count for Pslin/AP meals to 100+ grams. This includes regular meals, preworkout and post workout. I don't think I have ever consumes so many quality calories from carbohydrates!

Also, I have included Green Magnitude and Xtend with my post workout shake. Interestingly, this produces the greatest pump for me (vascularity - perhaps the simple carbs from grape juice???).

Lastly, on an embarassing note, I consumed 1 cup more of oats than I had intended (long story). So I was up another 300 calories that I had intended.

Qualitative:
1. Powerfull noticeable helps with focus.
3. Vascularity improved on back and arms days. The increase in carbs is paying off.

Quantitative:
1. My strength continues to improve DESPITE having reached new levels on MANY lifts. I either add weight or increase reps (4-6 rep range).
2. Bodyweight has increased to 204.6lbs (+1LB or so). I haven't measured BF, but all in all, BF appears to be static.

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Add 1LB of bodyweight each week.
 
Week 3

Macronutrients:
Calories-3770
Protein-313 g (32%)
Carbs-450 g (48%)
Fat-88 g (20%)

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Increase total calories. Add simple carbs postworkout (grape juice) and increase healthy fats (almonds).
3. Add 1LB of bodyweight each week (make it to 205.6+LBS)
 
Week 3 results/update

Macronutrients:
Calories-3770
Protein-313 g (32%)
Carbs-450 g (48%)
Fat-88 g (20%)

I will be adding Activate Xtreme (technically Activate Xtreme and the original Activiate - 4 caps new and 2 caps old each day)to my stack of AP, Pslin and Powerfull.

Qualitative:
1. Focus during workout continues to prove beneficial.
2. Pumps are great, recently I started incorporating more simple carbs postworkout to great effect.

Quantitative:
1. My strength continues to improve. I either add weight or increase reps (4-6 rep range).
2. BF tested this morning. In the last two weeks (since upping calories, carb and fat, in that order), my BF has decreased .3% (1/2lb of FAT!!!) and I have increased LBM nearly 2lbs (1.56lbs) . My present weight is 205.8 LBS.

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Add 1LB of bodyweight each week.

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Increase total calories. Add simple carbs postworkout (grape juice) and increase healthy fats (almonds).
3. Add 1LB of bodyweight each week (make it to 207+LBS)

I am utterly thrilled with my results at this point. How can I add LBM AND loose BF while eating surplus calories (rhetorical)??? Whatever the case, I would say that there is a learning curve with this product. One needs time to dial in the carbohydrate amounts to maximize the product.
Lastly, I would say that this product would be great to stack with anything AS IT allows one (me namely) to load calories while decreasing BF (or keeping at bay). :food:

Thank you thank you thank you for repeating what we been preaching!!!!

1. Dieting is not dieting anymore
2. SHould be a part of every supplement cycle

I'm not being overly dramatic, but these "Learned" responses thrill me. Because, You just discovered a plan that will take your training to new heights. I'm glad I was a part of that process.

My pleasure Jacob! :thumbsup:To be quite honest, I am especially skeptical of most products. However, when I find a product that works, I become an ardent supporter of that product. (I dont' want to product bash, but I extremely irritated when my gains on JW disappeared off cycle and THEN it was discovered that "a substance" was found in it -:nono:)

Additionally, I tried AP once before, with lack luster results. I was curious how people could get great results and I didn't. So, thanks to NP and their discount on AP and Pslin, I decided to give AP a "do or die" trial. I made the resolve to become the great critic or supporter of AP AFTER I tried it one more time. The difference is that I eliminated insulin mimicking products (namely alpha lipoic acid) and I monitored my diet and BF closely. :study: Attention to detail, eh?

Now, my only dilemma is finding the extra funds to enable me to always use AP and Pslin with whatever I want to try!? In my opinion it is nice dilemma as most guys are thinking, "What should I invest my time in that MIGHT give good results?"

Some nice results shown. Thanks for this feedback buddy. :)
 
that sounds like a sick stack your running and you have some very reasonable goals that you should easily attain. idk if you said you would but id love to see your results.
 
Week 4 - update/results

Macronutrients:
Calories-3770
Protein-313 g (32%)
Carbs-450 g (48%)
Fat-88 g (20%)
(added an extra 1/2 cup of grape juice part way through the week - so total calories and carb % would be up another 80 calories.)

Changes:
1. I began adding Activate Xtremem (6 caps ED, spread out with meals and fish oil cap).
2. Increased Powerfull to 6 caps on workout days (5 days a week. 2 a hour after breakfast, 2 prior to workout and 2 prior to bed).
3. Since I use relatively low reps (4-6) I decided to alter the use of Pslin from preworkout to postworkout with the goal of amplifying the anabolic response postworkout.
4. Taking into account the use of Pslin postworkout, I increase carbs to approximately 160 grams postworkout (2 cups grape juice and 1.5 cups oats).

Qualitative:
1. Same as prior weeks.

Quantitative:
1. Strength continues to improve with reps or weight.
2. Weight was static!? I'm puzzled by this. Despite the slight increase in calories and beginning AX I would have thought my weight would have gone up. I know that I may be recomping, but my goal is to ADD weight WHILE minimizing fat gain. Mullet, DON'T WORRY I understand that AP is great for recomp, BUT I haven't eating this many calories in a while and I AM UTTERLY AMAZED that I have not gained more weight this week. Wait till you see the stats for the coming week (hint-I am going to break 4000!!!).

Goals:
1. Continue to add reps and/or weight to each lift.
2. Add 1LB of bodyweight each week.
3. Increase total calories by 200-300 calories each day (I hav been thinking of adding some skim milk/almonds).
