Good luck on the "cut" bro!!! I'll be here supporting ya!

Thanks, Jon and welcome!

See? You stick 'Good Bros' in the title and they come a'runnin'.

What is turkey hill duetto?

It's a combination of vanilla soft serve and a flavored sorbet. Really tasty! I didn't look at the ingredient listing either, so it could be cancerous for all I know.

"Who wants to have some fun!!!"

lulz... one of my favorite exchanges...

- "Are you just saying you want to have fun or do you REEEALLY want to have FUN?!"
- "I really want to have fun."
- "I'm just saying I want to have fun."

I'll be following along in here. Good luck Smitty!

J! Glad to have you along, buddy!





Date with the elliptical in 20 mins.; update to shortly follow.

[The Solution]

Bob... Glad you're in on this, buddy, and I hope you decide to post up from time to time! Every one of your posts in every log I've seen have been nothing short of motivational.

My training and diet will remain virtually intact from my recomp, which I feel was quite successful, so the presence of SUB-Q will certainly be known when this comes to a close.

Thats what followers do don't they
If you ever have any questions you can PM or just post em up in here, or just get at me in my log. Either way we will cross paths and find the solution ya know?

I want to see some hard work in here bro, Results don't come easy, and going through the motions never got anywhere to their goal.

Press on.

Date with the elliptical in 20 mins.; update to shortly follow.

I tried the elliptical last night...ass was too sweaty from the Ultima sweats..ended up getting off after 10 mins..not a pleasant feeling.

[_Smitty_]

Weight/BF:
218 lbs./16%

SUB-Q dosage:
3 bullet caplets, 8:30 a.m.; 3 bullet caplets, 2:30 p.m.

Abs: Circuit style
Leg raises/ Weighted oblique twists (per side)/ Hanging knee lifts
20/15/12, 20/15/12, 20/15/12

Cardio:
30 mins., elliptical, moderate intensity every .25 miles.
30 mins., elliptical, moderate intensity every .25 miles.

Notes:
Some mild stomach upset following my morning dose due to the forskolin, which I don't respond particularly well to. But I know how to correct that... Incorporate more carbs during breakfast.

The afternoon dose was manageable as I took the SUB-Q following my mid-day PB/banana sandwich.

I purposefully did not cycle off any caffeine substances prior to starting this cycle as the 200mg. dose in each SUB-Q serving would cause the jitters had I been caffeine free for weeks before, so that was a welcome non-effect.

Appetite suppression wasn't wholly noticeable.

I was pinched today to gauge my bodyfat and I'm extremely disappointed with the result. While I don't weigh heavily (no pun intended) on the caliper method, the anger that swelled when I learned of the total really sent my mind racing toward my goal.

Next on the menu:
I'll be switching my off day to Tuesday and tackling cardio/abs on Thursdays instead, so my next training day is Wednesday, which will be chest/cardio.

[The Solution]

Even if you feel sick there are no excuses. Way to rock it bro.

Even if you feel sick there are no excuses. Way to rock it bro.

Absolutely right!

These goals don't come to fruition by themselves... The result will far outweigh some minor stomach upset.



Bring on the weights!

[_Smitty_]

Weight/BF:
219 lbs./16%

SUB-Q dosage:
3 bullet caplets, 8:15 a.m.; 3 bullet caplets, 2:15 p.m.

Notes:
A bagel cures all forskolin ills.

This time yesterday, the stomach upset was beginning. Today, however, we're right on track (aside from some seasonal allergies that've been kicking my ass this past week).

Weight's up a pound, but I did down a quart of water last night before bed and I stupidly weighed in this morning before expelling said water.

Feel a bit more energetic this morning, too. I attribute that to the combination of using SHUT-EYE last night (which I often employ when I'm having difficulty getting a sufficient amount of rest), and the SUB-Q.

Stay tuned for chest tomorrow... I expect great things!

Two things:

1) In regards to taking SUB-Q or any other caffeine containing product around the same time as a meal - some food for thought check out the yesterday's entry at www.educatedbodybuilder.com. I thought it was interesting.

2) Appetite suppression will be an individual thing so don't look for it. I personally don't promote too much of this as appetite suppression is not always the best thing. A well balanced diet will control blood sugar levels, preventing any crash and cravings from happening. But I'm sure you knew this...

great workout first off, and I have no doubt that you will utilize that "anger" to dial in your focus that much more and to stay consistent to reach your goal my man!

That was a great post on the Fusion blog! It's a Catch 22 for me, personally, as I've never responded well to any amount of forskolin without having some carbohydrates to soften the blow...

Still, it'll take me a few days to find the right dosing protocol, but I'm more than willing to document the different methods used until I find the one that clicks... Tomorrow, I'll be sure to take the caplets about 60 mins. after my breakfast.

And I completely agree with your second point. Appetite suppression shouldn't really be an issue if you're conditioned to eat a little somethin'/somethin' every couple of hours.

great workout first off, and I have no doubt that you will utilize that "anger" to dial in your focus that much more and to stay consistent to reach your goal my man!

Thanks, Jon!

Can't wait to get around the weights tomorrow, though. This log hasn't officially begun until I tear my callouses open.

Have you been taking SUB_Q pre breakfast or post?

[_J-BONE_]

I have a PhD and I think that this log sucks

Have you been taking SUB_Q pre breakfast or post?

These past 2 days I've been dosing it post-.

After Chris's post and my uneventful (see below) afternoon dose today, I'll be taking it pre- beginning tomorrow.

Had a sandwich this afternoon about 90 mins. before the SUB-Q and experienced no stomach upset.

Cool, from my experience I enjoyed taking it after breakfast, and approx 45-60mins pre-WO

You know PhD means formally educated right? Or did they not teach that when you dropped out of your informal 5th grade education

hey bro

subbed

[_Smitty_]

Weight:
216 lbs.

SUB-Q dosage:
3 bullet caplets, 10:00 a.m.; 3 bullet caplets, 4:00 p.m.

Cardio:
30 mins., elliptical, moderate intensity every .25 miles.

Chest:
Nautilus decline press
15,10,10,8,8,15

Pec-deck flyes (elbows at 90 degrees)
10,10,10

Nautilus incline press
10,10,10

Pec-deck flyes (arms straight)
10,10,10

Dips
10,10,10

Second session cardio:
Farmer's walks, 60 lb. DBs, 1/4 mile.

Notes:
The reason for this layout is that I focus on a specific section of the chest for 6 sets and then compliment that with another chest movement and use the pec-deck for stretching purposes.

As an example, today was a main focus on the decline press, with incline serving as an auxillary. Next chest session, main focus will be on the incline, with a DB flat bench serving as the auxillary, and so on and so forth.

Decent energy today, but I wasn't overwhelmed like I would have preferred.

I opted to take the SUB-Q as close to my gym time as possible but still allowing me time to get a dose in 6 hours later without ultimately preventing me from getting to sleep tonight.

Next on the menu:
Might be heading in to do back/traps tomorrow, if not on Friday.

I would still suggest about 30 minutes before your morning meal. You're waking up in a fasted state and it's going to hit you a little better on the energy side... even if you're training late morning. But I know... we have that gastric issues that have to be ironed out with one of the ingredients. I'm confident your body will adjust to this.

[The Solution]

Interesting approach to your training, would you mind If I ask for your split and see what ur working with?

are you trying to target any weak points, or just train in the hypertrophy range during ur Sub-Q or cut?

[B1GinNY82307]

how has that exercise format/layout worked for you? and do intend on doing that for every other muscle group/session?
