Overall thoughts:
Holy shit, strength is increasing at the same rate as before my illness. Wow!

I have been on Anagen for a month now and strength hasn’t even begun to plateau. I am at 185 lbs, going to start leaning out a bit. My weight has increased by 10lbs.

At least 4-5 of lean body weight, I am over estimating the amount of fat gain; its actually unnoticeable. I made minor changes to my diet (40grams increase of carbs) while everything else remained static.

I plan to order another 2 bottles tonight and consume at a slightly higher dosage, Trouble has also suggested some dietary changes to improve sensitivity and I am very curious to know how that will work out.

JS Rows: 4 x 6 (170lbs)
Lateral Raise: 2 x 10-12

Strength was non existent tonight, it was very odd. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, its probably just stress or insufficient time to recover :S

Day 34

Last week I had difficulty pushing out 3 reps with 240, while today I did I was able to execute each rep with great A2G motion.

Day 38


Upper 1
Flat Bench: 5x5 (200lbs)
Incline Dumbbell: 2 x 10 (30 degree) 120lbs
Incline DB Flyes: 1 x 12-15 (15 degree) 50lbs
JS Rows: 4 x 6 (170lbs)

I kept my weights consistent today however increased reps slightly, I succeeded with little difficulty. Fantastic workout, definition is really starting to increase along with muscle volume.

I pyramided my weights up while doing A2G squats with no problems whatsoever. I feel the Anagen must be megadosed if one wishes to notice greater anabolic effects.

Final Review:

Overall, Scivation’s Anagen has helped me significantly in bringing up my strength as well as muscle volume and size. I increased my dosage gradually and was able to notice a dramatic difference in muscle volume. To maximize efficacy of Anagen I felt a dosage of 6 capsules worked very well for me. That will result in a bottle lasting only 15 days, but for the cost I feel that this is defiantly worth the investment during a cut/bulk or even maintenance.

My sickness was an unfortunate event, however it allowed me to see the effects Anagen had even during this period of recovery; I maintained all strength, size, and definition when I resumed my training 1 week later.

Normally when I increased my calories by approximately 200-400/day I noticed a greater increase in fat gain, however while on Anagen most of my gains were lean muscle mass. Hence I was able to increase my caloric intake and minimize fat gain.

Now lets see my strength progressions on my major lifts.
Squats 5x5 225  270 (45lbs)
Rack Dead lifts: 3 x 5 270lbs – varied*
Bench 4x5 180lbs 5x5 200lbs (20lbs)

*Widow makers seemed to have really have a negative impact on my deadlift performance. I see it as a flaw in my program.

Starting weight: 180lbs—>188lbs

To be honest, it seems like my strength progressions was not entirely progressive or even that great on paper. But if I combine all the results that were combined with my strength gain i.e, size, definition, fullness; it is defiantly worth the cost. I have experimented with various supplements in the past and Anagen defiantly given that extra edge I was looking for. I plan to order another bottle shortly but am still confused on aspects regarding plan origin and effectiveness.

thx for the indepth log and congrats on ya gains
