Na lang wachten eindelijk mijn pakketje van bb.com ontvangen.
Aangezien er wat redelijk nieuwe producten besteld waren ga ik een log bij houden.
Eerst de producten:

USP labs P-Slin



Like all of our products, P-Slin is completely unique and downright effective…

It’s a super-extracted version of our best-selling wonder supplement Anabolic-Pump (If you’re already taking Anabolic-Pump you can stack P-Slin with AP for ‘round the clock nutrient partitioning and sick recomposition effects…but more about that in a minute)

In short, the main difference between AP and P-Slin is P-Slin’s ability to utilize enormous amount of carbohydrates and amino acids and drive those nutrients directly into your muscle cells to promote lean muscle gain, mind-blowing pumps, “roadmap” vascularity, Ironman-like endurance and rapid recovery from workouts.

P-Slin has a large clinical dose of the extract engineered from Lagerstroemia Speciosa that requires huge amounts carbohydrates to be eaten…causing an enormous disposal of carbohydrates and amino acids directly into muscle tissue pre-workout!

So basically P-Slin floods your muscles with a huge influx of usable nutrients to create an environment where new muscle tissue is built and the body burns fat for energy!

P-Slin is specially designed to be used pre-workout when “nutrient-flooding” is most useful to the body to promote strength, size, definition, pumps, endurance and vascularity.

P-Slin can also be stacked with Anabolic-Pump as P-Slin should only be used once a day...while AP is designed to allow you to eat normal meals, get huge pumps, gain more muscle and strength and promote loss of body fat.

What You Can Expect From P-Slin:

Skin-Bursting Pumps!
Increased Strength & Power!
Significantly Improved Endurance!
Stimulant-type energy without any nervousness, increased heart rate, etc - All energy through improved cellular function, no sides!
Improved ability to digest and process large amounts of food and carbohydrates!
Wicked Vascularity!
Fast-acting!
Increased Lean Body Muscle Mass!
Decreased Body fat!
Easy once-per-day dosing!
Continues to work as long as you take it!


Activate Extreme



ActivaTe Xtreme™ represents not simply a progression but a massive evolution from its predecessor, ActivaTe™. Still harnessing the awesome power of Divanil™, ActivaTe Xtreme™ goes significantly further by providing total testosterone enhancement, adaptogenic support and estrogenic control. ActivaTe Xtreme™ is the future of testosterone optimization.

The release of ActivaTe™ two years ago marked a change in the market for testosterone enhancement. Never before had one natural compound proven so effective, giving results across the board. That compound is Divanil™, a lignan found naturally in the root of the stinging nettle. High dose of this particular lignan had never been seen before in the industry.

And so now we earmark another revolution in the industry as we release - ActivaTe Xtreme™. Again, utilizing Divanil™, a compound tried, tested and scientifically supported to enhance free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), ActivaTe Xtreme™ goes those few steps further to improve upon the greatness of the original. Icariin, a flavonol found in epimedium extract is included for its testosterone mimetic properties and for its ability to promote serum testosterone levels. Basella alba marks another first for the industry from Designer Supplements. Closely related to spinach, basella alba has been shown to promote testosterone production in the testes and even help increase bodyweight. The combination of the three compounds should give rise to significant elevations in testosterone, and so the natural occurring phytochemical indole-3-carbinol is included to promote healthy estrogen metabolism and counter any unwanted side effects. Finally, rhodiola rosea, the classic adaptogen is included for its effects on combating fatigue and stress, regenerating ATP reserves, and promoting physical performance and endurance.

ActivaTe Xtreme™ is the future of natural testosterone enhancement and will help lead to improvements in strength, and body composition.

Testosterone & SHBG
Testosterone is one of the most anabolic hormones in the human body, giving rise to the primary sexual characteristics displayed by males (and to some extent in females,) while also functioning in secondary sexual development and day to day functions as well. The body is comprised of millions upon millions of cells, some of which express the androgen receptor to which androgens such as testosterone attach. It is in this binding that the nucleus of the cell (the control center) is instructed to increase the synthesis of proteins and upregulate metabolic processes, amongst other things. While the effects are myriad, the focus from a bodybuilding standpoint is clearly the protein synthesis necessary for creating, repairing, and expanding new tissues, especially muscle.

Actual release of testosterone (and other androgens) is governed by something called luteinizing hormone (LH). LH “tells” cells in the testicles of the male, called Leydig cells, to secrete androgens, including testosterone. Once released, testosterone is controlled by two of the brain’s key mechanisms - the egg protein, albumin, and something called Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG). Albumin is actually present in much higher concentrations than SHBG1, and binds to a significantly higher proportion of total testosterone, however it does so at a much lower affinity than SHBG. Because of this, albumin-bound testosterone can be rapidly dissociated (split up) to allow for androgen receptor binding and interaction.

SHBG also binds to estrogens, however the affinity for estradiol is low, whereas its affinity for testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is very high.

Divanil™ vs. the binding of Androgens
Typically, less than 2% of your total testosterone concentration is actually “free” or active; this is also commonly referred to as “Bioavailable Testosterone”. Upwards of 50% and more of your total circulating testosterone is bound to SHBG, and the rest albumin-bound. SHBG-bound steroid cannot bind to the androgen receptor, thus, while many of us have high levels of testosterone, most of it is completely inactive and useless.

This is where the original ActivaTe™ excelled. By utilizing Divanil™, a lignan of the root of the stinging nettle plant, the binding of androgens such as DHT and testosterone by SHBG is significantly reduced because of the high affinity that Divanil™ has for SHBG. The end result is a considerable increase in free testosterone which manifested in a plethora of ways, including increased strength and size and body composition, and even improvements in sleep.

As though these benefits were not enough, the effects of Divanil™ do not end here. Divanil™ may also promote the secondary messenger nitric oxide (NO) by increasing its main enzyme eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase). As NO is postulated to be one of the key triggers for muscle cell proliferation and growth while also promoting “muscular pumps” in the gym, this aspect of ActivaTe Xtreme™ leads to fuller muscles that you can see and feel, thus providing significant mental motivation.

Icariin - The Testosterone Mimetic
Icariin is a flavonol found in epimedium extracts more familiarly known by name horny goat weed. Used for hundreds of years as a tonic in Chinese herbalism, it has only recently been elucidated just how and why Icariin exerts such an effect. A recent study suggested that, in the words of the researchers, icariin has testosterone mimetic properties.

Like Divanil™, icariin also seems to exert an effect of raising levels of nitric oxide. It does this similarly to Divanil™, by increasing expression of the nitric oxide Synthase enzyme. However, where icariin differs is that it also seems to be able to inhibit all three forms of an enzyme called Phosphodiesterase type 5 or ‘PDE-5’.

Nitric oxide promotes blood flow by binding to an enzyme known as guanylyl cyclase which catalyzes the conversion of Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP) to 3’,5’-cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP). It is the cGMP that signals the smooth muscle to relax, thereby promoting blood flow. It is PDE-5’s job to breakdown this enzyme, and when it does so, blood flow is restricted.

Basella Alba
Basella alba or ‘Ceylon spinach’ (not to be confused with ‘Red Ceylon spinach’ aka ‘basella rubra’) is a leafy vegetable typically grown in tropical regions. Earlier it was established that a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulated the Leydig cells in the testicles to produce testosterone. To further elaborate, this effect is achieved by binding to the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin (LH/CG) receptor on the cell causing a cascade of events leading to testosterone production. Basella alba is incredibly interesting as it has been shown to increase serum testosterone and also increase bodyweight in the rat model. Further research in vivo has demonstrated that basella alba appears to exert these effects by stimulating the Leydig cells directly to produce testosterone. Research into how it actually stimulates the Leydig cells has not yet been performed, but it would not be too far fetched to theorize that basella alba has an affinity for binding to the LH/CG receptor.

Rhodiola Rosea - The Adaptogen
Adaptogens have the ability to balance the endocrine and immune systems, helping the body maintain homeostasis, while amazingly achieving this effect without negative effect on other biological systems. Classified as an adaptogen by herbalists, rhodiola rosea has become one of the most popular choices of adaptogen in recent years for good reason as it exerts a number of benefits via several different biochemical pathways.

Bodybuilders and athletes can benefit greatly from rhodiola rosea due to its effect on improving endurance performance and assisting with recovery after exercise. The purported mechanism of these great benefits appears to be by increasing ATP production within the mitochondria of muscle cells thus increasing the energy “currency” of the cell that drives recuperative processes such as protein synthesis.

Rhodiola also has neural-cognitive effects, such as reducing mental fatigue and acting somewhat as a nootropic. These neural effects also appear to manifest in other ways and is likely due to rhodiola being an inhibitor of an enzyme called catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). COMT is responsible for the degradation of neuropeptides such as serotonin and dopamine and as such, the inhibition of COMT helps promote the activity of these ‘feel good’ hormones. Research by Russian scientists has also concluded that rhodiola rosea influences the activity of opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins by activating opioids receptors.

Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C)
Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage. While primarily a powerful antioxidant, I3C also supports the liver’s typical processes such as toxin removal. The predominant interest in I3C for ActivaTe Xtreme™, however, is its effect of modulating estrogen metabolism. Estrogen metabolism is quite complex, but in general there are two metabolites that can be classed as “bad”. These metabolites are 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone and 4-hydroxyestrone. On the flip side, however, there are also “good” estrogen metabolites such as 2-hydroxyestrone. Oral consumption of I3C has been shown on several occasions to increase 2-hydroxylation, reduce 4-hydroxylation and increase the ratio of 2-hydroxyestrone to 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone.

After oral intake of I3C, the acidic conditions of the stomach create metabolites such as 3,3’-diindolylmethane (DIM). Both I3C and DIM exert their beneficial effects on estrogen metabolism by not only promoting the ‘phase I’ enzymes controlled by the cytochrome P450 system, but also the enzymes involved in ‘phase II’ such as Glutathione- S-transferase. By enhancing the activity of these enzymes, estrogen metabolism is optimized.

Summary
ActivaTe Xtreme™ is designed to promote testosterone release and enhance free testosterone availability, promote recovery-enhancing pathways such as ATP synthesis, and optimize estrogen metabolism. At the beginning of this article we told you that ActivaTe Xtreme™ is the future of testosterone optimization; Now that the compounds, mechanisms and pathways have been discussed all you need to do is give it a shot...then you can tell us we were right.

Mijn doelen zijn, mijn bf gelijk of 1% te laten dalen.Aangezien dit geclaimt wordt door Pslin.Of het lukt moet de tijd uitwijzen en eventueel zal mijn voeding ook aangepast moeten worden.Verder is een doel 1 a 2kg VVM aan te zetten.Het is ook geen A.s. dus moet realistisch zijn.

Tips en aanpassingen zijn altijd welkom.

Training ging lekker,had eigenlijk verwacht wat minder te trainen ivm zware sportdag op me werk,maar dat viel dus reuze mee.
Keiharde pomp op de armen en een kleine krachttoename is merkbaar.Verder loop ik wel de hele dag te schijten maar dat nemen we maar voor lief.Kan ook wel eens handig zijn moet ik zeggen.Gister had ik een beetje een licht drukkende hoofdpijn maar was na een paar uurtjes weer weg.Heb dit wel eens vaker gelezen in logjes en komt waarschijnlijk van de activate.Morgen wat cardio en donderdag borst+triceps.Heb er nu al zin in!

[redhead]

Gewicht is btw toegenomen met 400gram.Sta nu op 91.4 schoon aan de haak.BF is niet zichtbaar gestegen maar meet ik volgende week nog op.

Ging lekker vandaag.Geen zware training natuurlijk maar gewoon lekker bezig geweest.Morgen weer knallen!
Geen last meer van lichte hoofdpijn.Dus dat is goed.Verder lijkt het als of ik langzaam wat droger wordt.Misschien door de activate die wat oestrogeen tegen kan gaan zover dat aanwezig is.Lijkt erop dat het meer de ''look'' verbeterd dan dat ik echt droger aan het worden ben misschien.Volgende week maar is me bf meten voor uitsluitsel.

Redelijke training.Train toch liever vroeg in de avond.Dan heb ik net wat meer energie.Ben dan ook een avondmens.De pomp was wat minder deze keer maar kreeg wel al een compliment dat ik weer aan het groeien was.Goed bezig dus dacht ik zo.Buik vandaag overgeslagen want voel me buik nog steeds van eergisteren.Misschien morgen even buik en wat extra cardio.We zien wel.

[Ripaf]

En wat is je bevinding tot nu toe van de P-slin ?

[redhead]

Ik merk dat ik wat betere pomps krijg en het lijkt of mijn lichaam beter omgaat met voedingsstoffen.Ben wat sneller hersteld en heb bij het minste of geringste al een kleine pomp de hele dag door.Dus ben tot nu toe tevreden over de werking.Het lijkt trouwens deze week pas goed te beginnen.Ga steeds lekkerder trainen en begint wat voller te worden.Erg leuk dus deze stack.Ben er tot nu toe meer over te spreken dan de AX stack wat ik ook positief vond.Alleen ik voel me bij deze stack beter.

[Tjibbe]

Waarmee kan je deze supps vergelijken?? jw, bam, mass fx
