NTBM Thermo Stack and HCGenerate

Last workout before a few days rest. I went ahead and pushed it a little since my body will have a few days of rest, good food and supplements. Thirty minutes fasted cardio in the AM, workout in the afternoon, then 25 minutes bike. I was off from work today and was able to get in to workout earlier than I normally do. I am still extremely impressed with my energy levels, strength levels and recovery time. I am not moving on the scale, but can feel a recomp. I will probably do my next pics on Wednesday and post Thursday AM.

Not moving on the scale can be a good thing when fats going down and muscle weights going up.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I can tell my clothes are fitting a little bit differently, so something is going on.

Anyway, after not lifting for two days, but still maintaining my diet, some cardio and taking my Need2Slin, HCGenerate, Gear, LipoStim and Forged Burner, I felt extremely strong and fresh. I did AM fasted cardio, then this afternoon, CHEST followed by 25 minutes on the bike. I couldn't help myself and turned it up a few notches.

Smith Incline 2 x 225/15 2 x 275/12 2 x 325/10

Cable Cross (Low) 4 x 65/12

Dips 4 x 15


Again, I felt really strong from start to finish and muscles were full. I do have a little bit of soreness, but not as much as I thought for the high level of intensity I was able to maintain throughout my workout.

Well, after pushing my CHEST workout yesterday, I wasn't sure what to expect when I woke up this morning. I've got a lot of wear and tear on my body. No problems! I felt fully recovered, with no aches or pains. I couldn't believe it! Also, I've noticed that any of my problem areas (shoulder, wrist, etc.) are literally pain free. When I started, I wanted to monitor this and maybe add something to help with it, but so far no problems. I am usually susceptible to tendon soreness (drying out?) with most of my "dedicated" training cycles, but not this time. Even with all of the cardio and 5 day workout rotation, no pain. Awesome!

I know that I am starting to sound like a broken record, but since it is so prevelant to me, I will say it again: I feel extremely strong and fresh, with higher than normal focus. I don't feel that I've had an OFF day yet. Fasted AM cardio, followed by BICEP, TRICEP and CALVES, then 25 minutes eliptical. Added two extra exercises today (one bicep, one tricep.) Intensity level was high and rest between sets was low.

Today I couldn't help myself, I really pushed it. My goal is to lean out and maybe not be so big, but I am struggling with this. I know that muscle burns fat and the more muscle you have the more fat you burn, but... Today I had someone ask me if I was "on" and what I was taking. I came to the conclusion that I must just work out at a pussy gym.

I really wanted to push the limits of this "cycle" so to say. I have been consistantly having workouts with overall workloads that normally tax my body, but I am now able to recover at a faster rate. I guess that is the competitiveness in me in wanting to find limits. Today I totally fried my CNS. I had a dull headache when I left the gym, but some fast carbs, protein and tons of water and I'm good to go. Again, fasted AM cardio (in the rain!) with LEGS in the afternoon, followed by 25 minutes on the bike. I made sure to use as near perfect form as possible, full range of motion and pauses where possible. Time between sets was minimal.

Noticed a slight drop on the scale this morning and will keep an eye on it. Almost 2 weeks on Need2Slin. Hope to have pics in the morning. Will try to do them the same as first pics as far as pose, cold, lighting, etc. for an accurate comparison, although it is only 2 weeks.

Nice workout bro, be careful with your CNS!

fucking loving it

Alright, here's pics from this morning. Anything really jump out at me about them? No, not really, but it has only just been 2 weeks! Again, I noticed a small amount of change on the scale, but not my driving force in this. What have I accomplished in these 2 short weeks? Well, for one I believe I have established a good base for the next 10 weeks. Second, I have been able to stick with diet, supplements cardio and work out for those two weeks and am feeling like a million bucks. Strength is there (even on a calorie restricted diet) libido is up, mental clarity and overall sense of well being is good. ALL THE TIME. I don't notice any ups or downs, its constant.

Anyway, although the changes are minimal at best, I am pleased with how I feel and the direction I am headed.

I was pleased with the way that I was able to recover from yesterdays workout. I felt refreshed when I awoke this morning and didn't miss a beat. I'm loving the AM fasted cardio (outdoors, even though it was only 37 this morning!) Today was SHOULDERS followed by 25 minutes bike.

I'm really enjoying the mental focus, clarity and awareness from the LipoStim.

It will improve as well

for some reason people build a sensitivity to the product where its easier and easier to get a feel good feeling from it.

May I ask how many do you take?
