TerpVTX's N2Burn Log

[terpvtx]

I received my sample bottle of N2Burn this morning and have already taken my first dose. A little about me. I am 42 years old, 6'1", 192 lbs. I just recently completed a bulk cycle and, according to the calpers, I am at 13% BF.

For the past six months, my workouts were based on a 5 day split of a power/hypertrophy routine. Three weeks ago, I switched to a 5x5 routine to give my joints a break. I will be lifting M-W-F and performing 30-40 minutes of cardio on T, Thurs and Sat.

My calorie breakdown during the one-month log will be 3,000 calories (40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat) on workout days, and 2,800 (50%,20%, 30%) on cardio days.

My goal is to get my BF percentage down to 8%.

Wish me luck.

For those interested, here are my meals for today:

Preworkout - 2 scoops Whey to build muscle plus creatine & Glutamine

Intraworkout - 2 scoops Core ABCs

Postworkout/breakfast:
2 whole eggs/6 egg whites
2 slices Ezekiel Bread
1.5 tablespoons natural peanut butter

Here is my workout from yesterday. I work out first thing in the morning, but did not have time to post this yesterday. I have a gym setup at home, although some of the free weights come in unusual increments. As a result, some of the numbers (increments) below may seem a bit unusual. Also, I came off of a high volume 5 split and the standard 5x5 just isn't enough volume for me. As a result, I have also added some additional supplemental exercises to my routine.

135 x 10 (wu)
223 x 10 (wu)

Subbed. Love the diet and dedication. I am REALLY thinking of ordering my 1st fat burner.
I am at 6'1 205 lbs right now and lost my abs after getting lazy and taking off a part of summer with a wrist injury.

Im ready to get back at it as well. Goodluck on your journey!

i lost 4.5 pounds in 1 week on n2burn. if your goal is cutting you will be pleased. just a matter of sticking with a strict diet after to mantain those losses. don't get lazy after in other words with your diet

Thanks IncredibleHoss and Stevesmi. This morning I did the following ab work:

Hanging leg raises 3x25
Revise Decline leg raises 3x25
Decline Situps with 35 lbs 3x30

I then ran 3.2 miles at a moderate pace. I normally try and do HIIT style cardio (sprints or jump roping) but like to get in a run a week to keep endurance up.

Meals today were/are (still have dinner to go)

Preworkout - 1 scoop Whey to Build Musle plus glutamine
Postworkout - 1 scoop Whey to Build Muscle, 1/2 scoop Karbolyn plus creatine & glutamine
Breakfast - 3 whole eggs/4 egg whites, 2 slices Ezekiel Bread, 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
Snack - 1 cup 1% cottage cheese plus 1 scoop Myfusion protein
lunch - 9 oz. chicken breast plus 2/3 cup brown rice
afternoon snack - 7 oz. pork tenderloin plus 2/3 cup brown rice
dinner - 2/3 pound ground turkey plus 1 cup broccoli

total calories 2,842, fat (87), carbs (150) protein (363). Weight after breakfast was 188.5. Most likely loss of water weight, but will check again tonight when I get home.

Weighed in last night at 188.4. Performed the following workout this morning:

Squats 5x5 @ 251 lbs
Deadlift 5x5 @ 311 lbs
Standing Overhead Press 5x5 @ 135 (this is a new movement for me (usually do seated) so I am going slow with the weight until I get the form down)
Weighted Chins 5x5 plus 27.5 lbs
Incline Press 10 @ 135
10 @ 175
6 @ 225

Ran out of time today or would have worked in two more sets of Incline along with a couple sets of rear shrugs. Weight this morning was 187.8.

One thing I have noted with N2Burn is that I am running hot since going on it. I have been sleeping about the covers and I am sitting in my air conditioned office this afternoon sweating through my shirt.

Preworkout - 2 scoops Whey to build muscle plus creatine, Glutamine & taurine
Intra - Core ABCs
Breakfast - 1 cup egg whites plus 1 whole egg, 1 whole wheat english muffin, 1 cup strawberries.

Yesterday (9/29/11) I weighed in at 186.7. This an hour and a half after cardio and breakfast, so some loss of water weight there I am sure, but I clearly am losing weight on this diet wih the N2Burn. My abs are becoming more and more defined.

Yesterday's workout consisted of the following:

reverse incline crunches 3x20
decline russian twists with 8 lb medicine ball 3x20
decline crunch with 8 lb medicine ball 3x20
ab wheel roll-outs 3x20

Cardio was HIIT style 15 100 yard sprints with jog/fast walk in between.

Diet: 2833 calories, 79 g fat, 170 carbs, 360 protein

Friday my workout was as follows:

Bench Press 5x5 at 245
Incline flyes 12x45, 10x60, 10x60

Evening weight 187.9, so over the 5 day period it looks as though I have lost a little over 4 lbs.

I slipped a bit over the weekend with my diet. Weekends are always my crutch as I have two boys 11 & 8 and spend the weekend running from one sporting event to the next, and just grabbing something to fast to eat when we can. I decided to go back to my old power/hypertrophy routine instead of the 5x5 routine I had been doing. Yesterday's workout was as follows:

Bench press 5x5 @ 250.5 lbs
dips 10@ 45lbs, 10 @ 67lbs, 10 @ 78 lbs, 8 @ 78 lbs
BB Rows 5x5 @ 210 lbs
Weighted Pull-ups 33lbs x 10, 33lbs x 8, 33lbs x 5
Seated BB Press 5x5 @ 157 lbs
Rear Shrugs 177lbs x 10, 199 lbs x 10, 210 lbs x 10
DB curls 35 lbs x 10, 40 lbs x 10, 45 lbs x 8
Deadlift Skullcrushers 86 lbs x 10, 97 lbs x 8, 108 lbs x 8

I weighed in yesterday at 188.5 lbs. As far as the noticeable effects of N2Burn, I will echo what others have said here. I take two pills first thing in the morning (4 am) and two pills before lunch. I notice an increase in energy after taking the pills, however, there is no hard crash later in the day. I also notice that my body termperature seems to run warmer on N2Burn as I sweat a lot more. So far I am enjoying N2Burn.
