First off big thanks to J-Rod and crew at Haleo for picking me to try out their new fat burner. I have always been a big fan of J-Rod's products since Clout first hit the market and I can't wait to see what else is store with haleo and this gem I am about to start.
About Me
Been training for about 10 years, first few years were great, very consistent and made great gains. Maintained afterwards before falling off again. Now its time to get serious and get back into shape. My biggest was 255lbs not sure the BF% but my avi is the picture for reference, I would like to get to 225-230lbs and below 10% BF. I would like to get my strength back up to par. Former best- Deadlift- 505lbs x 3 reps, 335lbs x 5 reps. Never been a huge fan of squats, neglected legs a lot but that changes now.
Goals
Increase strength
Drop BF
Drop waist size from 38 to 34
Workout
5/3/1 on 4 major lifts
Fullbody triset on Friday
HIIT tues/thurs
Diet
CKD
Sunday-Friday til 3pm or so my total calories will be between 2673-2943 depending on if I consume a protein shake, high protein (198-250g), high fat (198-205) low carbs below 50g. Friday 3pm til Sat 3am High carbs (600g+) same protein and around 110g of fat. These will be adjusted accordingly. Lots and lots of nuts, chicken, eggs and Salmon or Tilapia. When carbing up I will consume lots of fruits and pasta with grits and tortilla shells thrown in the mix. I am interested to see how this diet plays out couple with OnPoint
Stats
Height- 6'4
Weight-238-240
BF- 15% according to the handy dandy bb.com toy I got but I guessing maybe 18-20%
I will measure chest, arms, legs, etc on sunday but my waist is around 38inches
before pictures
Any comments, input positive or negative is welcomed!

Dosing of OnPoint will vary, I work Sun, Mon, Tues from 7pm-7am in the ER so on those days I was thinking of spacing out with 1 pill 4x a day taking advantage of 100mg of caff every 3 or so hrs. Rest of the days will be 2 caps BID. Once in the am and once in the pm
Protein powder, haven't decided on which one just yet, prob the stuff wally world is carrying.

Day 1
Inital thoughts on the product. Took the recommended dosing protocol since I was off today and didn't start it last night. I react weird to stimulants, the first to caps gave me a nice rush of energy the evened out as the day went on. Nothing overwhelming nice smooth energy with any jitters. 2nd dose gave similar results and def helped with the workout. Hoping for no crash and hoping it will help me while i study for my final tomorrow. So far so good no jitters no wired feeling nice sustained energy.
Workout
Chest-
warmed up to first set. 170x5, 180x5, 195x 12. Felt good, could have repped a few more on the last set if I had a spotter.
Incline fly- 4x15 with 40lbs
DB bench- 4x15 with 60lbs
Push-ups- 2x20 with BW
Dips- 4x10 with BW
Tricep ext(cable)- 4x12 with 100lbs
30 min on the treadmill
Ab/core work
Good workout, baby stepping up the weights and really focused on the muscle working.
After my dinner and snack before bed I'll be in around 2800 cals. Overall chalk it up as a successful day.
Starting weight 243lbs. Will check every Sunday.

Still feeling great energizing effects from OP. reflux has subsided. Seeing small changes in my love handles and lower abs which is nice. Looking forward to continued results.

Appreciate guys!
Days 10 and 11
Didn't get to update yesterday so making up for it today.
Day 10- Shoulders/traps/forearms
Switched from standing mil press to power cleans been awhile since doing them. Was def impressed with the weight I worked up to.
Power Clean-
Set 1- 155x5
Set 2- 165x5
Set 3- 175x5
Set 4- 185x5
Set 5- 205x2- big jump in weight and did more sets than called for but was glad I did.
Seated DB milt press- 4x50x10
Seated DB milt press- 1x60x8
Tri-set-
Front DB Raise- 3x20x10
Lat DB Raise- 3x20x10
Rear DB Raise- 3x20x8
Shurg supset-
Behind the back shurg- 4x135x12
Front barbell shurg- 4x135x12
Last two sets of behind the back shurg I did rev upright rows, man those felt good, this was done on the smith machine and front shrugs were free weighted.
Forearm superset-
Hammer curls- 4x50x8
Hammer curls- 1x25x20
Wrist curls- 5x55x15
Great workout, cleans def taxed me, should have had longer rest periods for then but I'm impatient when I workout love short rest periods. Energy levels and mood are beyond high no crash and have been sweating buckets, crazy but good. Sweating at work more not good lol. Some of our rooms get prett hot and nothing like noticeable forehead sweat when doing EKGs or IV's ha! It's all good though.
Day 11- legs
Was exactly the same as last weeks, weights, sets, etc.
Hoping to really push tomorrows full upper body workout really hard and next week I'm going to start dropping the cals abit. Stomach and love handles are holding the fat in a stubborn manner but noticing more vascularity in my arms and right front deltoid. Little bit of separation showing in the shoulders as well. I have to keep reminding myself it's a marathon and not a sprint to get back to the way I was and better than I was.
Thanks for following guys! Really appericate it! Reps on recharge. Hoping to get some deadlift pics and maybe a video if I can next week.

Day 15, gotta stop slacking on these updates.
For the next 2 weeks going to do push/pull/legs 2x a week.
Today's workout was excellent, nice to see my strength going up in my major lifts while cutting on the cals. Hit back/biceps/forearms.
Deadlift- not sure how many sets but worked up to 385x3, was going to try 405 but didn't want to push my luck. Haven't hit these numbers in awhile.
Barbell rows- 5x10x155
Barbell shurg superset behind and forwards with 155xfailure for 3 sets.
Biceps DB curls- 4x50x8 with drop set down to 20lbs
Rope hammer curls- 4x120x10
Thank God I found my straps cause @ 335 on the deads my grip slipped and thought that was it. Then I found my straps and it was like turning on a switch. Overall the workout went better than expected. Still feeling great with OnPoint, nothing negative to report, will weigh myself at work, think I'm around 235lbs. Seem to be leaner out a bit still.

I actually like doing "light" SLDLs with strict form and tempo over just trying to move a lot of weight. Keep up the good work Achilles!
