Tbarrows' first log ever - Purus Labs Fat Smack/Slin Shot Stack!

[tbarrows]

A big thanks to Grambo and the guys at Purus for giving me the opportunity to log this stack. It's my first ever actual detailed log so I hope I do you guys justice, I'll be as dedicated to this as I possibly can be.

I just received my stack this afternoon and will be starting fresh on Monday.



HOLLER!

A little about each product...



Benefits Include:

* Increased nutrient absorption and utilization within muscle tissue
* Enhanced energy utilization and glycogen resynthesis
* Improved carbohydrate metabolism
* Enhanced post receptor insulin signaling
* Faster recovery from strenuous exercise
* Diminished free radical production
* Nutrient partitioning



Fat Smack™ contains a carefully selected blend of ingredients, based on human evidence for effect in relation to multiple aspects of weight/fat loss, and used at the research-proven dosages. While regular exercise and optimal dietary intake inclusive of frequent, macronutrient balanced and nutrient dense meals (as well as adequate water intake) should be viewed as most important in the quest for body weight/fat reduction and the reduction of cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, use of a weight/fat loss agent such as Fat Smack™ may be an adjunct to this lifestyle plan.

Alright, a little about me now:

Age: 25
Height: 5'10
Weight: 185
BF%: I'm going to guess 14%ish? I'll be posting pictures throughout this log so you can help me with that.
Training style: I'll be doing a Power/Hypertrophy split ala Layne Norton with 2 days of interval cardio and 2 days LISS.
Diet: I'll just post my numbers from yesterday, Mon-Fri it's pretty much the exact same and on weekends I tend to ease up a bit and usually end up having a few beers but never go too overboard.... unless I end up getting drunk and killin' a Sonny's cheesesteak (those from the Philadelphia area know what I'm talking about) but for the sake of the log I'll be doing my best to keep it as clean as possible: 2100 cals - 55gF/160gC/225gP - I'll be upping my carbs/cals though on my higher cardio days.
Goal: My goal is to recomp, I'll be trying to lean out and shed body fat without sacrificing any strength.

I'll be updating this with pictures tomorrow or Sunday to gauge results from beginning, middle and end. Hoping to see a very noticeable difference!

Other supps:

Creatine mono/creatine nitrates throughout
Fish Oil
MVP - multi by Millenium
NOW Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM for joints
NOW Topical Celadrin for shoulder pain
LG BC+EAA

I think that's it... like I said, this is my first log so if I'm missing something please don't hesitate to say so!

Let's start smacking some mother fuking fat!

I'll be watching. Pretty strong stuff, get ready

subbed brotha.. kill it!

slinshot/creatine nitrate should be fantastic.

just make sure to get some carbs with the slinshot. grape juice/waxy maize worked well for me.

thats exactly what I was thinking but wasnt completely sure if it would or not. I have some bulk creatines I got a while ago so I could use that but I am leaning towards the CN with slinshot! If CN is already 100 times better than mono and slinshot makes mono better than hopefully CN + SlinShot =

Why do you suggest the grape juice T? Wouldn't the WMS be enough and if anything add extra WMS..Is it the sugar from the juice?

the grape juice is carbs plus flavoring. i did slinshot maybe 20 minutes pre, then started sipping on grape juice/wm/creatine during. when the carbs hit it was great. usually i do fasted workouts, so the carbs were a nice boost.

same here.. I do fasted workouts and I was debating on switching up my week to lift on days off so I can eat a meal with carbs before my lift.

So you took 1 cap slinshot and then 20mins later drank WMS/Creatine/grapejuice mixed drink for intra workout or just immeadiately before workout like during warmup?

I will most likely try this same setup.. do you know how long the slinshot last? Would I need an additional cap for my post workout meal which is usually about 60g carbs?

[Grambo]

whhoooooooooooo

Got mine too actually

used the carb drink intra, with it gone around the 20 minute mark. yeah take one before post meal. the stuff works!!!

cool really excitied to see how this stuff works with the Creatine Nitrate..

whhoooooooooooo

Got mine too actually

Any thoughts grambo? Should it work with the Creatine Nitrate the same way it does with creatine mono? If not I got some bulk powders I can take with it instead but I am really hoping you will say a big HELL YEA it will make CN even better!!!!!!

[tbarrows]

Thanks for popping in guys! And thanks for the informative posts, I didn't even think about the whole grapefruit thing - which is perfect since I eat a grapefruit a day anyhow.

I forgot to mention that I'll be comparing the fat smack up against a slew of fat burners that I've used in the past, more than I like to admit, including EC. And also I've used quite a few GDA's so I'll have a pretty good basis for comparison there as well for the slin shot

How are you guys dosing the fat smack?!

also, starting pics will be posted tomorrow.

You're going to get the answer you want ha, the research is on monohydrate however I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work in the same mechanism to increase creatine levels with nitrate and make it better

[tbarrows]

grapefruit?

ha my bad I thought you guys were talking about grape fruit but it was grape juice! That's what I get for speed reading.

Alright, last night into today my diet faltered a bit but I'm okay with that... I enjoyed a fat cheeseburger at a sports bar last night, about a thousand rum and cokes afterwards (give or take), a fat cajun omelet with hashbrowns and toast this morning and stir fry for dinner.

So tomorrow starts the fat smack/slin shot and I'm pumped! I won't eat like this once the stack starts as to get the best possible results.

[JudoJosh]

sounds like you had a hell of a night ... ahh I havent had one like that in soooo long. I live about 30mins from atlantic city and most of my weekends used to be like that..

Where at in NJ bra?! I went to college at Stockton so I know allllllll about the weekends in AC haha

Also how are you dosing this stack, Josh?

Day 1.

Woke up and popped 1 slin shot on my way to work about 20 minutes pre breakfast. Breakfast was 1 whole egg w/ 1 cup whites, 2/3 cup oats and 1/2 grapefruit. Took 1 fat smack with breakfast as well, will be monitoring stim effect throughout the day.

I'm a relative stim virgin, I don't drink coffee or any type of caffeine so stim based fat burners often times have a profound effect on me... though EC never gave me the jitters or anything which was strange.

I'll weigh in today at the gym after work and upload those pics - I took a few yesterday, they're not the best starting pics considering I was nursing a monster hang over and pregnant with a food baby but oh well.

Question for Grambo... I see the Fat Smack has '1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, 2-amino-4-methylhexane (a naturally occuring constituent of Geranium Oil)', is that different then a product that lists just '1,3 Dimethylamylamine (Geranium Flower)' in the profile? I see they're both of the Geranium family but different nomenclature.

[Grambo]

There are two nomenclatures there. The first is full nomenclature for caffeine and the second is full nomenclature of geranium.

[TheDarkHalf]

in for the win

thanks man

in for the win

awesome, glad to have ya!

So today was my first day, first dose and if I could give my first impression as of right now I'd say it's pretty good. All morning long I had a steady surge of energy, wasn't jittery, wasn't bugging out, but was definitely more enegetic than normal - which sucked because work is slow today! But also the biggest thing and it seems to be what most people notice, is the appetite suppression. Usually, especially when work is slow, I want to eat eat eat but today I haven't had a craving or pang since breakfast - I'll be a happy dude if this continues.

Taking my 2nd dose of fat smack 30 minutes pre gym so will note effects on workout as well later.
