Burning It Off with FYRE

bodybuilder45 · 11-10-2006, 01:34 PM

syntrax FYRE

today marks the 1st day of taking Syntrax FYRE. i am experimenting with a new approach in dieting also, so i will be calorie cycling to start things off. it will go 3 days in calorie surplus followed by 5 days in a deficit. this diet plan/scheme is subject to change depending on my thoughts about it. i will post macro totals later. here is some basic info:

height: 5'9"
weight: 178 lbs
bodyfat: 8.8% -----> according to 7 site caliper test
diet principles: i follow the basic guidelines of the cut diet by chuck but have tweaked it slightly to include carbs in the morning and before training.
training: varies weekly but favors hypertrophy rather than strength usually.
other weight loss supps being used: NONE!
expectations: ill be satisfied taking this down to 8% as long as no strength suffers. being holiday season, this could be tricky. takin it slow is the way to go

progress will be based more upon mirror reflection than bodyweight.

nothing more to it, but to go do it! that being said, chest day awaits. ill report back with my first impression later today or tomorrow morning. please post any questions

ok, i will be evaluating the stimulant effect of fyre over the next couple days. yesterday, i started out with the smallest dose of 1 capsule taken twice. i will raise this to 2 caps soon and maybe even push 3. i will also experiment taking with ALA and naringen to further the stim effect if i find it necessary.

1 capsule: didnt do too much in terms of energy. no increased focus was noted either.

i would think my stim tolerance is lower than usual right now. ill usually brew a cup of yerbe mate before workouts. besides that, i either use stim x or basic cuts once or twice per week if needed for energy. others impressions have been very positive in this aspect so im looking forward to jumping to 2 caps soon. anecdotal feedback proves fyre to be potent so we'll see.

bodybuilder45 · 11-12-2006, 12:58 PM

well, i got impatient and tried 2 capsules about 2 hours ago. i think my new dosing during the week will be 2 caps before breakfast and 1 cap an hour before training. i train at night mon-fri so i dont wanna be too stimmed up where i cant fall asleep.

energy effect: i felt a slight rush but it was short lived. despite what others are reporting, im not feeling the energy from fyre as much. i feel motivated but not hyped up whatsoever.

i kinda like the jittery, hyped up feeling so i wouldnt rate fyre too high in terms of stimulation. if this can deliver good fat loss results without the notorious stim effect, then that can be a good thing and make it very stackable. right now, i would have to give a rating of 5/10 in terms of energy coming from 2 caps. however, i am much more curious to experience the fat loss effects. stim x is still king for intense energy in my book.

I'm glad to hear that your logging. I had just finished up my log and I didn't notice a large amount of energy either but I felt more consentration on tasks throughout the day and good with cardio. I am doing my stack with FYRE & Purple-K. Like you said there really isn't a jitter effect at all so I am definately doing my stack. I hope you will get the results that I have seen on myself as well as other loggers.

Good luck to you on your log and I will keep watch.

P.S. Nice pic!!!

thanks for the comments curiouskitty. would you mind posting a link to your log since it seems we are responding similarly? if not, ill run a search. i focused on bodebldr2000's log and he had awesome results so im excited about the near future. so you were another tester with good results? seems like its been to everyone so far!

EDIT: never mind, found your link under your last post under the company promotion. im gonna check it out now.

Goodluck with the log

BiggJohn · 11-12-2006, 09:48 PM

Good luck. I don't think much will compare to stim X in terms of energy. I didn't like the stim X side effects on sleep however.

bodybuilder45 · 11-14-2006, 06:47 PM

ok, my dosing has been pretty consistent these past couple days. i am taking 2 fyre upon awakening and 2 before my preworkout meal which is about 6-7 hours later. still, this isnt providing me with energy that usually comes from most stims but i have started to notice other attributes.

appetite supression seems very strong with fyre. the funny thing is that i am not familiar with any ingredients on the label that might cause this. i have read other logs and most people report this so maybe its a placebo effect from knowing this has been experienced.. then again, probably not.

havent noticed improvements yet in the mirror but its still early (not even a week in yet). workouts have been great, strength is the same, and diet been going pretty good as well. ill give it at least 2 weeks before i start judging fyre's fat loss effectiveness so patience everyone

bodybuilder45 · 11-17-2006, 01:33 AM

i increased my dosing to 2 caps, twice daily. first serving before breakfast and 2nd preworkout. since im not feeling great stim effects, i can take this before i train (i train late night) and have no problems with sleep. fat loss really isnt noticable yet, but i am finding my cardio activity to be much easier.

i switched to a weird 5 day split that looks like this:

day 1: chest and back (supersetting muscle groups)
day 2: shoulders, hamstrings (rear delts and traps included with shoulders)
day 3: back and biceps
day 4: chest and triceps
day 5: quads and calves

also, cardio is done for 25-40 minutes following resistance training. abs are also done 5 times per week.

so far, the only effects i feel are that i am more energized during the day (not jittery but more productive) and i am in a better mood (dieting always makes me grumpy but im not experiencing this in my current deficit). not much else to report. if i increase to 6 caps, should i dose 3 caps, twice or 2 caps 3 times?

I would do 2 caps, 3 times daily. Morning, mid day and pre workout.

2 caps three times a day is the way to go if you want to increase the dosage to 6 caps a day! Good luck to ya

bodybuilder45 · 11-17-2006, 05:07 PM

thanks for the replies guys! im not increasin just yet because i havent given sufficient time to analyze the effects of 4 caps ED. im gonna remain patient but will likely increase to 6 caps. as more time passes, im liking fyre more and more! ill update later tonight or tomorrow. gotta go hit some chest for now. laaaaaaaaatttttttttteeeeeeeeeee

Good idea, patiences is a virtue many people lack.

BB2K · 11-17-2006, 06:49 PM

2 pills twice a day worked perfect for me for a while then i bumped it up to 2 three times a day. I made the mistake of trying 3 pills twice a day but it did nothing at all for me. In my opinion, it is best taken in even amounts throughout the day, just like eating small meals frequently.

Good luck hero!

dark_man812 · 11-17-2006, 08:30 PM

2 pills twice a day worked great for me. Don't expect a sudden surge of energy with Fyre; it's more of a steady stream that lasts all day, but no jitters. You will definitely notice a lot more focus. I just finished my log, and Fyre is awesome for appetite suppesion and fat loss!

bodybuilder45 · 11-18-2006, 03:52 PM

i guess im sorta underestimating the energy factor of fyre. taking into consideration that im in a calorie deficit, energy levels are prett decent. the biggest thing i am noticing is the appetite supression. desire to eat is much less, and im keeping my meals smaller cause of this taking in 7 meals of 300-500 cals.

some days i look leaner than others and judging yesterday during my workout, i saw improvements. this probably mostly depends on water or pump during workout. so far im satisfied but i wanna take it further and i will likely try 2 caps in 3 divided doses starting next week. thanks for all the suggestions. so far, so good syntrax!

bodybuilder45 · 11-21-2006, 07:55 PM

still going strong with fyre. energy has remained consistent this past week. 2 caps twice daily seems pretty good for this. fat loss has been coming at a similar pace as if fyre was not included in my supplementation. its hard to know for sure but i feel i can achieve similar results on my own.

on a positive note, this makes cardio much easier. i may even increase cardio activity since i feel my endurance has increased. the real test will be over the holiday weekend where this is gonna serve me as damage control. i think that is when ill increase my dose to 3 servings daily. no strength has been sacrificed yet so that is a big plus.

current thoughts: nothing too special, similar to most thermogenic supps on the market. hopefully this changes when i move to 6 caps/day

Deffinitly not sudden. It took about 2 hours when I took it with food to fully kick in, but it was a nice boost.

bodybuilder45 · 11-22-2006, 12:13 AM

i also wanna comment real quick that ive never experienced appetite supression this strong. even in a negative energy balance, i have no desire to eat. this could serve me well during contest prep!

and yeah, i totally agree with the energy description. a sturdy, slight energy buzz. i feel more motivated but its totally different from a caffeine rush or most other stims.

bodybuilder45 · 11-24-2006, 10:03 PM

today was my first day at 3 doses. i took them about 4 hours apart from each other. energy levels remained consistent but i managed to take a midday powernap after work still. my physique is looking a little leaner and cardio has gotten to be a breeze for me (30 minutes of moderate intensity). i need to either increase duration or intensity which i plan on starting next week.

im still not too impressed with fyre yet! ill pass judgment after going at 6 caps/day for awhile. i feel that everything i have achieved should be credited to my nutrition/training routine. fyre might give a slight edge and perhaps has been helping me maintain my strength. ive managed to keep similar weights and all powerlifts. lets see what kind of results i get with 6 caps

dark_man812 · 11-24-2006, 11:44 PM

Good luck on upping your doses. I 'm surprised that 2 caps twice a day didn't do much for you.

BB2K · 11-25-2006, 06:27 AM

2 caps twice a day worked greatbut did even off after a while, i bumped it up to 3 twice a day and got nothing at all out of it so i went back to 2 and the fat kept coming off. more than 2 twice a day will do nothing for ya bro, i would stick with 2.

really? ill take your word for it and see how it pans out at 2 caps twice daily then. this way it will last longer and i can give a more accurate description of its effects.

hey bodebldr, did you notice a huge increase in cardiovascular endurance when on fyre. i always feel like i can go forever nowadays and not sure weather or not to attribute that to fyre. i guess ill find out when i get off.

my waist has definitely shrunk since i started to cut but i have a pretty good idea of how my body responds without supps and i dont think the results would be much different without fyre. well, im estimating i have 10-12 days left, then ill get bodyfat measurements again. to be continued...

BB2K · 11-25-2006, 11:31 AM

Yes i did notice an "everlast" feeling on most days. my diet kinda zapped my energy but FYRE helped out alot. You can bump it up to 2 pills 3 times a day if need be, i just didnt see any changes in 3 pills two times a day myself.

Don't listen to him; he hates cardio! (Just kidding!) Yeah, there's defintely a lot more endurance while on Fyre. That's why a few of us were wondering whether crack was one of Fyre's secret ingredients! How's your strength? I know mine stayed about the same while I was on it.

strength has remained constant while there has been a slight reduction in my waist size. my speculation is that this is the forslean doing its job. i cant complain about this aspect of fyre whatsoever... i just wished it would accelerate fat loss identically to other logs i have read, especially bodebldr's.

by the way, nice response for cardio exercise. haha, i need to use that as an excuse to get my cardio in sometime

bodybuilder45 · 11-28-2006, 07:33 PM

alright, im starting to come around with my thoughts on fyre. this has been proven to be more effective than i thought. on sunday, i sat in the steam room after my workout. after getting out, i couldnt help but look at my physique in the locker room mirrors. conclusion-when im not holding as much water, i look pretty close to contest shape. it was sick, the heat brought out veins everywhere in my body, i noticed better separation in my arms and legs. everything looked good but physiques always appear better when wet and with less water.

i also got comments about my lat spread looks even better (this is one of my better poses). now i know my lats didnt get wider, but my waist has shrunk creating the illsusion making a wider V. a belt is now a necessity for my 31 waist jean size!

its funny how quickly my thoughts have changed on fyre! it makes since that i wasnt seeing desired improvements because i recently started carrying around a half gallon water bottle and drink it everywhere so my H20 intake has increased. i also made a couple minor adjustments that i feel helped but ill comment on those later. gotta go hit legs for now
