nice numbers BC, very, very NICE!!!
Going good then it seems. I forget but are you going to be getting BF% measured soon? I guess I'm excited to see the results!Today was chest and back. This was the sixth session so required me to increase the intensity (1RM%) and decrease the reps by approximately 30%. As per usual this means my rep bracket went from 8-12 to 6-8. I increased the overall number of sets from 3 of each exercise to 4.
The workout was solid. I was sweating profusely, sweat was literally dripping from my face onto the floor everytime I bent over to pick up my training log.
Strength increases across the board from my last 4 x 6-8 session three workouts ago. Pull ups were barely stronger as seems to be the running theme so far with this programme and beta log. Dips were noticeably better today which was the first time in these 6 workouts.
All is good. I am looking vascular in the mirror and am trying to satisfy my intense appetite with food as clean as possible.
Last workout for legs and arms in the next three days before a programme change. I can either keep it high volume and try and increase my physiological need for carbs i.e., earn them with metabolic workouts or change it completely and move to an intensification phase and perform lower reps at a higher percentage of my 1RM.
The only other Biosignature practitioner I know i.e., the only person I know who can take reliable skinfold measurements for me weekly lives almost an hour away so I decided to pass on it completely. Having some human error on body fat readings would skew my results so I opted against it.Going good then it seems. I forget but are you going to be getting BF% measured soon?

I like the idea.Final legs session in this routine was yesterday. It was the modified, lower back friendly, machine based routine. I resent it for taking away my deadlifts but it was necessary to give my lumbopelvic hip complex a rest. Based on symptoms, it seems to have recovered.
I did 4 x 6-8 across the board on both giant sets in around 50 minutes.
Weight this morning after going to the toilet and before eating (this has been a consistent rule on this log) was 83.5kg. I have been weighing myself most days and my weight has been around the 84kg mark for the last week. This was the lightest I have been since my initial weight fluctuation.
My abs are looking a little sharper, maybe there has been a subsequent drop in water weight to account for this.
I also slept for a very long time last night. After getting around 8.5 hours I woke up, went to the toilet (weighed myself) then went back to bed and slept for another 1.5- 2 hours.
Possibly two signs of very mild overtraining through volume.
I am going to book a holiday for a couple of months time which would make me want to look my best for then. I was going to move onto another high volume workout with a high metabolic cost to promote maximal body composition changes.
I may change my plans and spend the next four weeks at a higher intensity and lower volume to see how AnaBeta-01 influences this then move into a fat loss and muscle gaining programme for the final four weeks before I go.
I have around two weeks left on AnaBeta-01.
I spent about three months on supplements to improve my insulin sensitivity. Before that I was very low carb consistently and introduced them at only one meal every fifth evening.Haha... That's awesome you can get away with eating that stuff!
TRUTH!Get lean enough and you can eat whatever you want lol.
Thanks for the detailed feedback so far - all looks and sounds very positiveThoughts so far;
- My workout was going to give me a pump, but I have never had a pump to the point it made it hard to progress, which this was at times (only on two exercises).
- I notice consistent muscle fullness. It is only mild and I wouldn't call it an all day pump but this is coming from someone who never notices out of the gym muscle fullness above and beyond what is there normally, even on carb ups, carb cycles, carb rebounds and any other supplements I have tried.
- Vascularity is noticeable
- I have been receiving more compliments about how I look and have been told numerous times that I am looking bigger by people I see regularly. My girlfriend told me since I have started on AnaBeta-01 I am looking wider around the lats, chest and shoulders.
- Possibly an increase in spots on my back and shoulders. I remove the hair from the root so never tend to have clear skin on my back as the hair regrows but I am pretty sure I have seen more spots than usual this time. Not something I am confident will be a common side effect of the product but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
- All in all the results this is providing sound very similar to the benefits that hardcore fans think of ecdysterone supplements, leaning out, muscle fullness, muscle pumps in the gym, vascularity and faster hypertrophy as well as being something dosed regularly at 1 cap QID. I am not necessarily placing any bets but the effects sound very similar.
Thank you.Keep it up bro, your smashing it! I cant wait till this stuff drops.
I am not sure if any visible difference will be observed. I have experimented with it a little bit and am going to give my objective overview of what I have learned so far.Anxious to see your after photos.
Weight this morning after going to the toilet and before eating- 86kg!I have had a more sudden weight increase (without weight rebound from carbs or illness) than I have ever had before and am more vascular in the gym than I ever have been.
I am already keen to get some bottles on board out of my own money when it is released. If my weight managed to get up to 86kg or even 87kg by the end of the bottle it would be absolutely outstanding and rival gains that many of my friends get from chemical assistance.
Results wise, in terms of mass gained and body composition changes I couldn't really be happier at this point as it has surpassed my expectations.
Thank you.Nice one mate, how tall are you?
One word: WOW. Thank you for keeping such a detailed log, and for an even more comprehensive review :bigok:FINAL REVIEW. REVIEW WITH PICTURES CAN BE FOUND ON THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD.
This is my last full day on AnaBeta so here is my final review. I have four capsules left, one for tonight and three for tomorrow.
Starting weight: 83kg
Finishing weight: 85kg
Weight Increase 2kg/4.4lbs
Total run- 37 days.
Objective Notes:
-My weight peaked yesterday at 86kg which is very high for me, not a weight I ever fluctuate to normally. My final weight this morning was 85kg so it is only right I record my final weight. All weights were recorded in the morning after going to the toilet and before I consumed anything, solid or liquid.
- My flexed arm measurement increased between .3" and .4". Both measurements were taken in the morning, before training or any physical exertion and without any form of additional supplementation like NO products.
- My flexed arm measurement is at it's highest ever
- My weight is higher than it ever is at this level of body fat. AnaBeta has pushed me into new territories regarding weight and arm measurements.
- My flexed arm measurement after training went up to 17.25" which is also the highest it has ever been as well as being a bigger difference between post training and pre training measurements.
Subjective Notes:
- The appetite increase was absolutely ferocious at the beginning. Within a week or so I was seriously contemplating dropping the dosage because it was hard to handle. I could eat a breakfast of steak and eggs and feel hungry within an hour. The appetite increase started slowing down towards the end of the run. They were so severe that if I waited an hour and a half after eating before I trained I often felt like my stomach was empty until the point of nausea, even if I had filled the 90 minutes carb with a waxy maize starch and brown rice protein shake 30 minutes prior to training.
- It felt like I was craving carbs. I would finish my normal meat based meals and have to keep eating. I used things like dark chocolate covered rice cakes as post meal snacks for when I was still hungry.
- I felt that it had strong nutrient partitioning effects. Either glucose disposal or insulin regulation. I bumped my post workout shake to 150g of carbohydrates from a 50:50 blend of dextrose and maltodextrin and felt no adverse effects on blood sugar beyond what is normal post training for me.
- I was not on a low carb routine prior to going on AnaBeta. I had no weight rebound the morning following higher carb days so the weight gained was not simply a rebound of glycogen storage. I tested this on multiple occasions and didn't find any acute weight gain. I did however find that my weight increased more consistently when carbs were high and when I slipped back into a lower carb routine my weight started declining.
- I think I could have put more weight on if it wasn't a psychological barrier. I am a very clean eater and found it hard psychologically to want to eat again an hour after a meal. I am confident that if someone was using this who was happy to eat consistently and as much as they craved they would have much more dramatic increases in weight.
- Vascularity during training was more pronounced.
- I felt slightly fuller in general at all times. Not very noticeable but something was there.
Personal Opinion:
I enjoyed my run of this very much. I used to stay around 84kg consistently and would almost never fluctuate in weight at all, even after carb ups. When I went to 85kg it seemed out of the ordinary, I was very pleased with this as it was a 2kg increase very early on. When I peaked at 86kg yesterday I knew it was undeniably to do with AnaBeta. It is possible that when I weigh myself tomorrow that I would be at 86kg again but it is only fair to do the review as objectively as possible so took my morning weight at the time of writing this.
I can conservatively take a .3" increase on my arm measurement and a 2kg increase in weight. I look slightly sharper which would indicate a slight drop in bodyfat with a higher net gain of lean body mass than the weight recorded. To most people this would not sound groundbreaking but to a natural athlete who eats clean and keeps their bodyfat low (no dirty bulking excuse for junk food here) it is far from it. I never get this much of a fluctuation and 4lbs~ in 5 weeks would work out to be 40lbs~ increase per year assuming a linear growth pattern, not a percentage growth pattern. Keeping at the same bodyfat I can safely say this is something I would be happy to take using my current condition as a starting point.
Would I recommend it? Yes.
Would I buy it out of my own money? Yes.
That is it. No hype, no frills, nothing other than facts.
Thank you very much. I hope it acts as helpful research for anyone who wants to know more about the product, one way or another.One word: WOW. Thank you for keeping such a detailed log, and for an even more comprehensive review :bigok:
~Rosie~
Thank you very much for the compliments.Damn, that is some solid pec seperation... all the way up to your damn chin. And the peak change in your bicep is outstanding.
Thanks for running it and detailing your journey. Now you know you are going to be plastered in our testimonials right?
Thank you.Damn, you look fuller, leaner, and more vascular...nice log and great progress!
Nothing as positive as this!I said I would buy some with my own money. After the last few days it has confirmed this even more for me. I miss the feeling I had while I was on it.
Thank you very much.Great log and final review! Any negative sides?
