Oh yeah, it took me a good month to build up the flexibility and feel but I'm getting well below parallel on each squat.
I also have to put in a similar experience so far, although with a much smaller sample size. I'm easily eating more food now than when I did a cut over summer (And weighed more) but I am losing weight just as effectively as I was then. Impossible to say how much/if any is the GCBE but I am a believer in the stuff and this is helping. Hopefully I'll be able to come to some stronger conclusions as I finish the bottle in the next few weeks.

I ended up weighing in at 190.8lbs. Not sure how that happened, but I assume a fair amount of that was water weight and fecal matter. Ever since I started taking the African Mango I've become more regular.

that is actually one of its benefits, keeping a person more regular. did you know this information before you wrote this?
good work buddy. I cut my calories this week and I am seeing some nice results. While I was eating more and not gaining too much bodyfat, my stomach stuck out at night before bed a lil too much for myliking, so i cut back 200-300 calories, this week and so far stomach has already went down. I think this stuff is great adding too much unwanted bodyfat while giving yourself some leverage for tasty food and for dieting hardcore or just soft dietingDisclaimer: The above post is my personal opinion and does not represent the official position of any company or entity.

I decided to lower my carbs and raise my fats. Just reading around I determined that my fats may be a bit low for someone my size. It'll also make it much easier to fit all that meat in. The less cottage cheese and whey the betteriSatori MAXON Powerbuilding Log:

recoverpro is especially useful during times of calorie deprived days
protein needs to be a bit higher and sometimes a lot higher depending on how much carbs are loweredDisclaimer: The above post is my personal opinion and does not represent the official position of any company or entity. It does not constitute medical advice.

A lot of it comes from my eats. Eggs/chicken/whatever meat is at lunch usually fill up at least half if not more. I'll get some from cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. If I have the opportunity I'll put feta in my salad. Of course my Omega-3 pills. If I can fit it in then peanut butter is an awesome treat.

Deadlift 1x5 - 275 lbs
Leg Raises 2x10 - BW+15lbs

Really felt weak in the gym for the first time. Still an awesome workout even if all of my lifts went down.
