Hardcore with Hydroxycut hardcore and Phase 8!

[Krome606]

I would like to give a big thanks to BlueRev and Team MuscleTech for selecting me and the others to review HydroxyCut Elite and Phase 8. I got choclate flavor Phase 8.




The time of day that I work out is always different, I have three boys so I work everything around them.

A Little about me. My name is Kevin. I have three sons. They are growing up fast. I was recently laid off from my job at a factory. I still work a part time one, but its only 2 days a week. I am able to put a lot of effort into lifting now. I have one semester left to get my degree in human services, I want to be an addiction councler. From there I want to get my Masters.
My workout weeks usually go something like this
Monday-Chest & Tris
Tuesday-Legs
Wednesday-Cardio
Thursday- Back, Bicep
Friday-Shoulders and abs
Saturday-Cardio
Sunday-Cardio Or and off day

Then the next week my schedule will look like this

Monday-Back, Bicep, & Shoulders
Tuesday-Abs and Cardio
Wednesday- Chest, & Tris
Thursday-Cardio
Friday-Legs
Saturday- Cardio

My workout today went like this.....
Barbell Squat 3 sets 10
Front squat 2 sets of 8, 6
Smith Machine Squat 2 sets of 10, 8
Leg press 3 sets of 10 then 1 set to failure
Lunges 5 sets of 10 with dumbells each set the dumbbells getting heavier
Romanian Deadlift 2 sets of 8
Leg Curl 2 sets of 10 then using one leg to curl a lighter weight 2 sets of 10 with each leg
Lying leg curl 2 sets of 10 then using one leg to curl a lighter weight 2 sets of 10 with each leg
Standing Calf Raise 2 sets of 20 with leg press machine then with a barbell 2 sets of 15, 10
Seated Calf raise 2 sets 16, 10
Today I skipped my cardio and did legs I usually do it tomorrow But I was eager to start this log. The taste was amazing. When I tore the seal off of it, it smelled amazing, and the great part the scooper was on top. I took it as soon as I got done working out. I thought anabolic halo was good. This isnt as thick but it def. sweet. I am digging that these new prodcuts from Muscle Tech leave zero clumps. I only put 6 oz of water with one scoop and it mixed up completely. Zero clumps and it tasted amazing. I will start the Hydroxycut tomorrow. so I will write about that tomorrow, because Im going to do the cardio that I skipped today tomorrow.

Hey Kevin, Sorry to hear about your job loss
But hey it gives you that time to kill the gym!

[Krome606]

Thanks bro

Its great bro. Everytime I open it just the smell is amazing. Like most pre workouts the smell makes me gag and most proteins dont have that strong of a smell. but this ones does. It tastes even better. lol

I do it just so my body doesnt get used to doing the same moves over and over. idk just what I have done to try and shock my body.

LEGENDS THREE IS OUT!!! i just picked it up from barnes and noble. I have all three of them. I must say they said number three would be the best and it def. is. I did cardio today. I ran 1.5 miles in record time, and then I did sprints on the basketball court. I am going to take pahse 8 tonight before bed.

[Krome606]

I took the Hydroxycut today about 45 minutes before cardio and I had amazing energy. This stuff is def. not like the old formula from 7 years ago. It didn't give me stomach cramps, or jitters, or the feeling of having a heart attack. It was nice and smooth.

I made Phase 8 Pancakes this morning they were really good. I will update here in an hour or so.

[KwayZee]

Wowsa, that looks like an interesting concoction, haha. Definitely interested in your update. What was the exact recipe and how did they turn out? I've yet to make pancakes out of any protein product :P

How did the energy last?
Did you crash?
Appetite suppressed?

Hey man if it works for you keep it up

Sorry I got busy getting my boys ready for bed, and getting all three baths so I didn't have time to update. I used 3 scoops of phase 8. 1 egg, and some water. Mixed it, and it made about 6-7 pancakes. The one in the pan in the picture is the biggest one the others were much smaller. It looked burned but they weren't they actually tasted freaking GREAT! This was my first time making pancakes also. Just thought I would give it a shot.

The energy lasted well beyond my workout, It lasted for a few hours. No I didn't crash, It was a nice and smooth enery without the jitters. My appetite wasnt suppressed that much. It was only my first time taking it at one pill, These past few days I have been taking 2 pills and yes it has worked great for that part, im not always starving.

This weekend was my cardio days. I did suicides on the basketball court. I hope people know what those are. Then did a mile on the treadmill. Both days. I have been taking phase 8 at night. And I have been taking the hydroxycut as stated on the bottle. I must say that this new formula is such an amazing improvement. It has been helping me with my energy. My youngest son just turned a year old, he still doesnt sleep through the night. He is up 5-6 times a night so I don't get much sleep. It has been helping me a lot. I dont crash after I take it, the energy lasts for hours, and it doesnt hurt my stomach or give me jitters. I was taking GNC re-feed that I got for free from my buddy because he didn't like the tatse(this is ther worst tasting protein I have ever tried), I was taking that at night, But I have taken the Phase 8 last three nights because I have done cadrio. and didnt take a shake after doing that

[aaronuconn]

Ugh, suicides.. brings me back to the high school basketball days!

[JonWilliam]

Great to see some recipes getting thrown in on the Phase 8! Very creative. I'm considering baking/making some food with it as well.

Nice work bro...

[mmafighterskiba]

I was the fat kid in middle school that tried out for the basketball team and couldnt finish suicides, i couldnt imagine trying to run after those

Luckily times have changed

Good work though, keep it up!!

I have been so busy this week sorry for not updating. Monday I did Chest and Triceps, Tuesday I did Legs, and today Im doing Cardio.
Monday was Chest and Triceps I did the following. I did not do them in this order. I have a log book that I write down whatever im going to do in it before I go. I do them in whatever order I want. Here is what I did.
Rope press down 3 sets of 10
Dips 2 sets of 20, 15
French Press 3 sets of 10, 8, 6
Flat bench D.B. press 3 sets of 10,8,6
Incline dumbell Press 6 sets of 10 then 2 sets to failure
Incline Dumbell Flyes 3 sets of 10
Dumbell Pullover 3 sets of 10
Incline Press Machine 3 sets of 6
Cable Crossover 4 sets of 10
One arm cable crossover- 5 sets of 10
Flat D.B. Flyes 2 sets of 10
Decline Flyes 3 sets of 8

I took the Phase 8 at night before I went to be at about 10:30 p.m. It tastes so good. I used 2 scoops this night. I would give the Mixability of this a 10/10 You barley have to shake it for it to mix all of the way. The day after I barley had any Doms, and today being Wednesday I am sore, but not so sore that I cant scratch my head or huting to were I can barley get into my car. So that is good. I like this product a lot. I just wish there were more servings in it. I took 2 pills of the hydroxycut in the morning, and another one later on in the day. I am really impressed with how I dont get the jitters with this and the energy lasts all day. I dont crash later. That is good for me. Having three boys (4 yrs, 3 yrs, and 1 yr) I have to always be on my toes because they have so much energy and are always running around playing so I have to have the energy to keep up with them.

Tuesday I did legs. Again I did not do these in this order Just how I had them wrote down.

Barbell Squat 3 sets 10, 8, 6 then 2 sets of 4
Smith Machine Squat 2 sets of 10
Leg press 3 sets of 10, then 2 sets of 8, 6
Lunges 2 sets of 10 with dumbells then 2 sets of 8 with heavier dumbells
Romanian Deadlift 2 sets of 4
Leg Curl 4 sets of 10
Lying leg curl 4 sets of 10, 8, 8, 6
Standing Calf Raise 2 sets of 20
Seated Calf raise 2 sets 12, 10
Smith Machine Dead Lift 2 sets of 14, 10

After my workout I took 1 scoop of Phase 8 after my workout, then I took another scoop before Bed last night. I took exactly what I took of the Hydroxycut on monday, and it helped me through my leg day for sure. I had a bad workout, The weights felt heavier then normal and I was a bit worn out. But all in all it helped me out I felt. It also causes me to sweat a ton.

Today I did cardio. I ran a half mile at an incline and a medium speed. Then I ran another half mile at no incline and a faster speed. Im going to take the Phase 8 tonight before bed. I am really like the texture of it. Its not gritty, its nice to take. When I took my first serving of the Hydroxycut this morning I went to the gym an hour later. It really helped me I felt to push myself to run harder on the incline, I usually don't do as much of an incline as I did today but I wanted to push myself So I went a little axtra higher.

[aaronuconn]

Glad to see your enjoying the taste of Phase 8 and the energy of Hydroxycut. I agree; chocolate Phase 8 is very good.

I love that about muscletech products, Usually i never experience a crash.
Seems alot of users are saying the sweat levels are high lol
Good to hear you were able to go harder man! Never a downside to that lol!

It was only my first time taking it at one pill, These past few days I have been taking 2 pills and yes it has worked great for that part, im not always starving.

GOod to hear, thats a big push of the product in my eyes is that it keeps you from the hunger feeling.

[wishiwasdivin]

Phase8 does mix really easy.

Yes it makes me sweat a lot more then usual. I already sweat a ton for some reason. Yes I hate hunger pains. Im not always able to eat when I want to. Im really digging the energy from hydroxycut.

[Krome606]

Phase8 does mix really easy.

Yes it does. I put 1 scoop in 4 oz of water and it mixed up with just a few shakes of the shaker bottle( with no blender ball).
