Day 16....Monday....4/10/06
Today will be a day off as mentioned. But wanted to make a post that directly addresses my feelings/thoughts so far(2 weeks in).
I took pictures the first day starting this "cycle", but did not post them due to not being very happy with the way I looked. I will however at the end of this log post them so I will have before and after. They will be time stamped to verify.
Anyway, the difference is already pretty remarkable. My love handles for instance have shrank almost to the point of nothing. Even my wife has commented a few times on the difference being pretty stark.
While at the same time, seems to be no muscle loss I can visualize. My strength has held nicely, (hasn't gone up, but hasn't dropped either).
This is another huge + for things so far, as I have made a couple more calorie cuts, while maintaining a 50/20/30 p/c/f macro, so calories are down fairly significantly from beginning.
So my 2+ week assessment is very positive. Absolutely no side effects of any kind either. As bodybuilders we always want more, but being realistic, if I had thought this kind of progress would have been possible before I started, I would have jumped on this stuff.

Took yesterday totally off as I said I would.
Today I did confirm my "suspicions". Had my wife measure my arms, exactly at 16 1/4, right where I began! But my abs and obliques are showing nicely, even after eating they were strong.
Legs may be cut better than I have ever seen them.(always had the most difficulty with getting my legs cut for contests, always had to continue with a very strict diet and suffer some muscle loss to get them anywhere near up to par...upper body would be great. Usually a sign of estrogen problems
)
This is at a height of 5'7" and current bodyweight of 172, down from 180 at the beginning of this. I always thought at my height I looked pretty dam good and good size cut at 170.
I am totally impressed.
Getting ready to go do legs.

Day 17...Tuesday....4/11/06
Tuesday was leg day as mentioned. Got to say it was amazing the way I just tore through it. I mean, little rest time between sets, from beginning to end.
Part was attitude, felt good about the cut and the measurement. I also took another 1NO serving pre workout. Legs felt good.

Day 18...Wednesday....4/12/06
Well, a bit different today. Normally I take a day off after legs, but for some inexplicable reason I decided to go in and do chest.
Felt a bit tired to begin with, but today(Thursday) is a day off from work...early holiday for us paid. Anyway, I wanted today to be totally off. Thus the workout yesterday.
The combination of being a bit tired, and the leg workout I had the day before, and my strength and stamina were noticeably down.
Looking back on paper(I record all my workouts), weights weren't really very far off, just felt like it. [we are so much our own worst critics] Energy on the other hand was not at a premium to say the least.
But I got through it, rest today, and hit it tomorrow.

Day 20....Friday....4/14/06
Great start to today. Walk in the gym, give my card to the hot 20 something very hot girl behind the counter, and she checks, says have a nice workout Ron. As I then start walking, she says, "got to tell you, you have a fantastic body! You are really buff."
Any better feeling than that?
Anyway, had a great workout. Did Shoulders/biceps today. Very nice shoulder pump, did not overdo things, kept it down to 10 total sets for shoulders, and 7 for biceps. All clean, heavy reps.
Walked out of the gym feeling pretty good.

Day 21....Saturday....4/15/06
Ok, this bottle is almost gone, and this is 3 weeks in. Time for a final assessment, as I don't expect to see any dramatic changes in the next few days that I haven't already gotten.
First let me say thank you to Anabolic Extreme for allowing me to test this product. I tried to lay out my log honestly with real feelings day to day.
Now, what we all have been waiting for....the rating...
On a scale of 0-10, with the obvious 0 as worst, and 10 as top of the line, I will have to go with a 5. This is a product in my eyes that is not stupendous, you will get nowhere the gains you would from some other products. It can be of aid in cutting, but I actually contribute most of my progress to having done this so many times prior, that my diet and training were simply spot on, and this was more of a contribution. Again, I believe it can be benefical when cutting, but not "special".
There was a bit of a "placebo" effect in the beginning, but within a couple weeks, if one looks back on my log I noted a "leveling out" and looking for something to stack with it.
Strength was not bad, again it held on a better than average on a cut, but not to any dramatic result. My major lifts are all down.
On a positive note, there were no side effects whatsoever, and one other thing. My knees have been killing me, I was actually afraid I was going to have to completely stop doing any heavy leg work.
Well, my knees have almost magically gotten better. I am sure it was tendon/ligament problems, and again not sure if this is coincidence or what, but I am very happy about that aspect.
So, that is my assessment....sorry guys, I said I would be honest with any testing, and so there it is.
Again, do well appreciate the opportunity to test your product.
One question, is PCT necessary? I somehow have a feeling it is not, but I do have the Retain and PCT you sent me originally.

In my analysis of the product, I for sure noted my knees. It was and is truly remarkable.....wasn't sure what to attribute it to. The product?
Main reason for my 5 rating was more than likely expectations will far outweigh results.
You guys seem to have a top reputation for products, and I believe folks would be "let down" with this one.
