Super Cutting Stack!!! Burn24 + Alphamine + Erase Pro + AnaBeta Elite + Forskolin 95

[sseddiq]

So after doing so much research while in Afghanistan and finally coming back to the states I have picked out my super cutting stack. Now before people jump to conclusions, no I will not be taking these all at once since it is my first time using each product. I will be starting off with Burn24 and gradually adding in each supplement.

Background: I have never really been committed to bodybuilding/strength training and the longest I have ever committed to working out was like 3 months. I usually gave up after and went back to my unhealthy ways. I was fit in high school and throughout most of college but the last 6 years I have been over weight. While I was in Afghanistan I lost a lot of weight but was still fat (skinny-fat) and then got fat again and back and forth. i did workout for sometime and gained some muscle but my diet was always horrible.

I have finally committed myself to getting in shape and getting the body I want while increasing strength and just my overall health. I hope by keeping this log it will keep me focused, motivated and on track to finishing this log.

Training Routine:

I am working out with my brother-in-law who has been lifting for the last 13 years and who is a personal trainer at Anytime Fitness. He is one of the strongest guys I know and has an awesome physique. Before I went to Afghanistan, I lived with him for 2 months in Sweden (He is Swedish-Afghan) and really got big (still fat but that was my fault because i couldn't lay down the mcdonalds and other unhealthy stuff) so he really knows how to workout and push someone to their limits and is the best partner in my opinion. We mix things up and will do hypertrophy one week, strength training the next. We even throw in some TRX workouts so always keep the body confused as well as shocked.

So here is my current workout routine:

Sunday: Chest + Forearms
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Shoulders + Abs
Wednesday: Biceps+Triceps+Forearms
Thursday: Back + Delts
Friday: HIIT + Abs (I have never done HIIT so I will be taking lots of precautions, dymanic stretching, warmups and post-workout stretching. I will start of with 15 secs all out and 45+ secs rest for 15 mins) As I get more comfortable and endurance increases I will do it 2 times a week and eventually 3 times a week.

I have been working out for two weeks already and am currently on week 3.

I have been using these for the last two weeks and have had no adverse effects or problems but wow is my stamina and energy up and the pumps are crazy and I dont feel fatigued after my workouts (except for leg days those still fatigue me but we are killing it).

Okay now for the new supps schedule. This is what I have come up with so far but feel free to advise a brother.

Week 1-12 (Starting from today) Burn24 (6 pills a day, 2 per meal with meals containing 50+ carbs, take 20-30mins before meal). I got 3 bottles of Burn24
Week 4-8 - Alphamine (1 Scoop in the morning and 1 scoop in the afternoon and will eventually bump it up to 2 scoops in the morning and 1 scoop afternoon) - 1 bottle but if I like it will definitely order more.
Week 9-16 Erase Pro (1 pill per day upon waking up on empty stomach) 2 bottles
Week 12-20 AnaBeta Elite (2 pills pre-workout and 2 pills post workout, on rest days 1 pill per meal - I eat 4 times per day) 2 bottles
Week 12-24 Analyzed Supplements Forskolin 95 (I will take two pills while on AnaBeta Elite and after AnaBeta Elite i will take 4 pills so my goal is 100mg of Forskolin) 4 bottles

So let the logging begin!!!

9/24/2013 - Shoulders

So today was shoulder day but i kind of hurt myself on Dumbbell Shoulder Presses. I think i went kind of heavy and I have a pinched nerve between my traps and middle back but I worked my way around it and still got my workout in.

Diet was same as yesterday - 215g Protein, 227g Carbs, 83g Fat, 40g Fiber, 2450 Calories. Some dosing method for Burn24 (2 pills at breakfast, lunch and pre-workout 30 mins before on empty stomach. I think im already getting used to the Burn24 as i dont feel any negative side effects.) Also, on a plus note one of the benefits i've already noticed from Burn24 is that I am no longer gaseous or bloated. I really was having bad problems with all the protein/carbs and even though its been 2 days of using Burn24 i dont feel gaseous or bloated at all, so definitely a huge plus for me.

Okay workout:

9/26/2013 - Back

Wow so today im dead tired. Really killed it at the gym but no pain no gain right.

Diet stayed the same and burn24 dosing the same as well.

Pre-workout

10min treadmill warmup (3 incline and 3.5 speed - going to increase this next week as it has become easy)

Dynamic Upper Body Streching

Back:

2.Deadlift - 115x12 -warmup, 225x2, 235x2, 135x20 - dropset - Was really impressed with myself and my form was pretty much spot on. The last set killed me but shocking the body is a good thing.
3. Barbell Rows - 75x12, 95x8, 45x15 (for my last set I was laying down on an incline bench, might not be exactly barbell rows but it still killed my upper back)
4. Straight Arm Pulldowns - 30x12, 40x10, 30x8

So tomorrow will be my first HIIT day. I will be doing it on the treadmill at the gym since the treadmills have interval training. I am a little nervous but again no pain no gain. I will be doing it for 15mins 2.5 speed for walking and 10 speed for running. Ill do 15secs all out and 45+secs walking. I will also be doing abs tomorrow.

I have a question. Is it better to do HIIT first or Abs? Second is HIIT more effective running outside naturally or is it just as effective on a treadmill?

[sseddiq]

Alright people,

Sorry for the delayed update but I got a cold and was not able to do my HIIT + Abs day so hopefully for this week Ill be starting it. I have decided to add in 20mins treadmill walking after each workout just to increase calorie burn.

Dieting for the weekend was okay and was not exactly to schedule but hopefully the Burn24 helped through some of the not so great meals that I had (Chinese and Taco Bell).

Anway, Today was Chest + Forearms and I was pretty happy with my results. Strength has definitely gone up as well as muscle endurance but im just scratching the surface.

9/30/2013 - Legs + Abs

Okay so before i post today's workout I made a mistake in the numbers for last weeks legs (only for the upward leg press).

Here are the original numbers I posted (Upward Leg Press - 308x15, 398x10, 488x8, dropset (308x5 high x 5 medium x 5 low - feet positioning) and here are the corrected numbers: 208x15, 298x10, 388x8, drop set (208x5 high x 5 medium x 5 low.) I dont want to be a liar and needed to correct that. Although, I am happy to report that today's leg day numbers are way up from last weeks.

Anyway diet was back on track for today (200g Protein, 200g Carbs, 83g Fat, 20g Fiber, 2250 Calories) Burn24 dosing is on point (6 pills per day, 2 per meal 30 minutes before meals on empty stomach).

Alright here was today's workout.

10 min treadmill warmup (4 incline, 3.5 speed)
3x12 Shoulder Dislocations - 6lb bar
Dynamic Lower Body Stretching

Legs:

1.Barbell Squat - So today I decided to go a little lighter but for all sets I went below parallel. Really trying to increase my flexibility and stretch out my hips.
45x15, 75x10, 95x10, 135x6, 155x10 - for this I some how got some energy burst and pushed it. I also decided to do one set of overhead squats just to see how I stack up. 16lb bar x 12. Man overhead squats are no joke but slowly will work my way up.
2. Upward Leg Press - 235x15, 318x12, 408x8, 498x1, 408x1, 318x2 and 238x10 + 1 set of Barbell Lunges 16lb bar x 8.
3. Hip Adductor - 60x15, 70x12, 90x10, 105x3, 60x10 - dropset.
4. Hip Abductor - 90x15, 105x12, 120x10, 135x8, 90x10 - dropset.
5. Seated Leg Curl - 95x15, 105x12, 120x10, 130x8, 95x15 - dropset.
6. Calf Press on Upward Leg Press - 238x20, 328x20, 378x12, 428x8, 238x30 - dropset.

Abs: Well it was my first day doing Abs after a long time so I took it a little easy until my body adjusts.

1. Cable Crunches - 42.5x20, 50x15, 57.5x12, 65x10, 72.5x8
2. Weight Crunch Machine - 20x20, 30x15, 40x10
3. Ab Roller - BWX20, BWx10, BWx10

Weighed myself this morning and I came in at 182.2 so thats a 0.8lb loss. Will increase cardio to 20mins post-workout (didnt do it today but will do it for sure tomorrow) and will definitely start my HIIT session this Friday. Also, I will get measurements and pictures at the end of this week.

If you don't recomp like crazy while running said stack you better find a new hobby

Why are you taking Burn24 pre-wo?

[JeremyKoehnlein]

If you don't mind my asking..... Why take so many supplements with only 2 weeks weight training? Why not train and make your initial gains then add supplements to break plateaus? If you only ever train with so many supps, it makes it hard to train without them. Speaking from first hand experience. Just curious! Looks like a solid stack, and I've heard tons of good stuff about those supps. Keep up the hard work!

Hey Huge,

Im really excited to see what this stack brings me and I am positive it will work. I am taking burn24 with my pre-workout meal since I know post-workout burn24 is pretty much useless or is that not true? Also, my pre-workout meal is usually like 2-2 1/2 hours before my workout. Or do you think I should just take 3 pills with breakfast and 3 pills with lunch? (Coop told me I could do it but I would need to eat about 100+ carbs per meal if I were to take 3 pills).

Hey bro thanks for the support and you do have a point but my logic here (and I could totally be wrong) is that I want to maximize my newb gains. My thought is that if I can get newb gains with this stack maybe I get newb gains x2 but again I could be wrong. Also, I just want recomp as fast as possible. Again, thanks for the support.

Okay guys I was beat last night when I got home from the gym but had a really great Back + Delt workout last night. Woke up this morning and I am sore as hell.

Diet was pretty much on point yesterday but probably had less carbs and more protein (ate some wheat tortillas with Ground Beef, Lettuce + Cheese for post-workout meal and boy was it delicious). Burn24 dosing was the same.

Okay so here it is. 10/3/2013 - Back + Delts

10min Treadmill warmup (4 incline, 3.5 speed)
3x12 Shoulder Dislocations with 6lb bar
Dynamic Upper and Lower Body Stretching

Back:

1. V-Bar Lat Pulldowns - 27.5x15, 35x13, 42.5x12, 50x10, 60x7
2. Deadlift - 115x15 - Warmup, 205x7, 205x5, 145x12 - Sumo Deadlift (First time doing it)
3. TRX Back Flyes - BWx12, BWx9, BWx10, BWx10
4. TRX Back Row - BWx10, BWx12, BWx10, BWx11
5. Pendlay Rows - 95x10, 115x10, 115x8
6. T-Bar Rows- 90x10, 100x8, 110x7, 120x8 + 90x8 - dropset
7. Medicine Ball Slams - 14lbx30, 14lbx20, 14lbx20, 14lbx15
8. Face Pulls- 30x15, 42.5x12, 50x8, 57.5x6 + 25x12 - dropset
9. Back Extensions - BW+5lbx12, BW+10lbx12, BW+15lbx10, BW+20lbx9

I think for next time I am definitely going to incorporate Rack Pulls and Rack Chins as they are very excellent exercises and very underrated and will definitely help me improve on my lockout for deadlifts.

So, today is my first HIIT day (It was supposed to be last Friday but I had a cold) Lets see how it goes!

[THEHUGE]

Hey Huge,

Im really excited to see what this stack brings me and I am positive it will work. I am taking burn24 with my pre-workout meal since I know post-workout burn24 is pretty much useless or is that not true? Also, my pre-workout meal is usually like 2-2 1/2 hours before my workout. Or do you think I should just take 3 pills with breakfast and 3 pills with lunch? (Coop told me I could do it but I would need to eat about 100+ carbs per meal if I were to take 3 pills).

Post-wo isn't a waste but definitely not the best option either.
How about before breakfast, lunch and dinner? BTW, if your "pre-wo" meal is 2 1/2 hours before lifting...that'd be okay.

I had another question. How long post-workout would I have to wait before I could take burn24?

[sseddiq]

Okay guys its been a couple of days since i've updated my page. So on friday did my first HIIT workout and it was hard as ****, I didnt even finish to be honest (disappointed at myself but will push through this time. One question should i take my pre-workout supps for HIIT?)

New update for measurements, weight, bf% and pictures!!!!.

So I weighed myself this morning and my weight went back up to 183, I am not sure if I gained muscle or fat but was a little disappointed. However, I was very happy with my measurements and with my pictures as it looks like im filling out more and I have definitely gained muscle.

Here are the measurements (I have updated them in my body space as well)

Chest - 42
Arms - R: 15.6, L: 15.3
Hips - 40.6
Waist - 39.2
Thighs - 24.6 - both L & R
Calves - 17 - both L & R
Forearms - 10 - both L & R
Shoulders - 49
Neck - 16.9

Weight is 183 and bf% is 18

I have also attached pics as well.

What do you guys think? Should I increase cardio or should I reduce Carbs/Cals? Also, I think I look a little more fat in my mid-section due to the creatine (Im sure its water retention).

Anyway, lets see how I look at the end of this month. Week 3 of Burn24 has begun as well.

[sseddiq]

So I have rearranged my workout schedule and have switched legs with back+delt days so now my schedule is as follows.

Sunday: Chest + Forearms
Monday: Back + Abs
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Biceps + Triceps + Forearms
Friday: HIIT + Abs

I also will start doing 20-30mins LISS cardio in the mornings during a fasted state (so basically wake up and go outside and do my LISS cardio then take my burn24). I am also recalculating my cals and carbs and will reduce both. I am thinking 2200 cals per day and dropping carbs from 210 down to 150-175. Protein and Fat macros will remain the same.

Okay so today was Back + Delts + Abs workout so here are the stats.

[sseddiq]

Missed a workout yesterday (leg day) because my mom had surgery on her foot so I had to watch over her. Today was biceps + triceps but couldn't do forearms (was in a rush) so tomorrow will be legs+forearms.

I am also tweaking my diet this weekend but im definitely starting to notice recomp effects from the Burn24 and even if my weight is up I look fuller and not as fat however, I will be reducing cals even further and reducing carbs (just a little) in order to increase fat loss. Going into next week will be my 4th week on Burn24 and I still have two bottles left. After next week I will be starting my Alphamine run which from what I have read is a killer 1-2 stack.

Anyway here are the results for today's workout

10/10/2013: Biceps + Triceps

No warmup of any kind just a little bit of dynamic stretching.

Biceps:

1. 21 Barbell Curls - 45x21, 55x21, 65x12 (did 4 a piece instead of 7), 45x21
2. Standing Dumbbell Curls -25x12 (per arm), 30x10 (per arm), 35x7 (per arm), 40x5 (per arm) + 20x10 (per arm)
3. Standing Cable Curl to head - 30x15, 40x12, 50x7, 50x6 + 25x15
4. Seated Concentration Curl - 10x12 (per arm), 15x8 (per arm), 20x5 (per arm)

Triceps:

1. Tricep Pushdown with Upside Down V-Handle - 37.5x15, 47.5x10, 57.5x10, 67.5x8
2. Assisted Dip Machine - 85lbx15, 70lbx12, 55lbx12, 40lbx9
3. Overhead Dumbbell Tricep Extension - 25x15, 35x12, 45x10, 55x7
4. Seated Tricep Extension Machine - 65x12, 80x10, 90x6

Again, it was an okay workout but that was because I was in a rush. Tomorrow I will have time for a good Leg workout and will do forearms as well.

[THEHUGE]

Who cares about the scale as long as you look fuller and leaner!!!

[sseddiq]

^Thanks HUGE i appreciate that.

Okay so I forgot to put up yesterday's update (was really busy and it slipped my mind). Anyway here are the results from yesterdays workout.

10/13/2013 Chest:

3x12 Shoulder Dislocations w/6lb bar
Dynamic Upper Body Stretching

Chest:

1. Incline Bench Press - 95x15(Warmup), 135x7, 155x4, 175x3, 225x2(negative only), 135x4 + 95x10
2. Flat Dumbbell Bench Press - 70(35)x12, 130(65)x6, 160(80)x3, 160(80)x2, 140(70)x2, 110(55)x6, 50(25)x10 + 15sec rest + 50(25)x10

5. Chest Press - 85x10, 100x10 125x6

This is week 4 of burn24 usage and I am still holding cals the same, I figured next week when I start using Alphamine I will follow my new diet (lower cals, lower carbs, although enough to hit my recommended needs for burn24). Also, I will be increasing cardio for sure and will be doing Abs now 3 times a week. Overall though I am very happy with burn24 and it definitely has helped me recomp so far and has acted as damage control for my cheat meals. 2 Bottles left, first bottle should finish this week.

Doing Back+Abs tonight and will post results when I come home from the gym.

[sseddiq]

Was very tired when I got home from the gym last night so I ate then went straight to bed.

Here are last night's back workout results.

Abs:

Just did a variety of bodyweight ab workouts for a 15min intense interval. Used the medicine ball for some of my ab workouts. Feeling pretty sore in my core today so I know it worked however, my idea is that i will alternate each workout between bodyweight + highreps and weights and low reps to build both muscle and muscle stamina/endurance.

[sseddiq]

Okay I need your guys advice because I am at crossroad. Next week will start week 5 and I want to stack in a new supplement. As I had originally posted I was going to stack alphamine but am having second thoughts and am thinking of starting Erase Pro. My reasoning is that I've been recomping with Burn24 and am enjoying the muscle gains and strength increase and I dont want to give that up yet. I know I stated that I was going to reduce cals and start taking alphamine for a cut/more fat loss but I dont want my strength to go down or plateau just yet.

I was thinking I will reduce cals just a little bit or may even keep it the same but throw in Erase Pro and start leaning out while strength continues to go up. What do you guys think? I also, have AnaBeta Elite and Forskolin 95. So what I guess im asking is what supplement from the stack should I start next?

p.s. I was thinking of keeping the Alphamine and using it with my two bottles of Vanilean for a real strict cut. Again right now my diet is under TDEE but not that much.

I would love to hear from you guys.

[THEHUGE]

In random order....

I'm glad you're really enjoying Burn24, it never fails.

No need to hit abs 3 times a week.

You're the only person who can take that decision...if I were you, I'd add Erase and keep cals the same....but that's just me.

[sseddiq]

Well its been a couple of days since I've updated this post but I feel like its been forever. I have just been busy with work and studying but have not let go of my routine and dieting. I just didnt post up my results and whats been going on.
