808rebel continues his Summer Shred w/ BPS' COMBUSTION (sponsored)

[808rebel]

1st off I'd like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to BulkPerf and BPS for giving me this opportunity. Im right in the middle of my recomp, and this couldn't have come at a better time

Here's a quick recap of the summer shred so far. Started at a weight of 252lb (>15% BF) on 4-11-11, used diet, exercise, and clen to get down to 226lb. On 5-19-11 I started a 30 day AlphaT2/Shift/Erase run that helped me get down to 214. Finished that stack 4 days ago, and now I'm sitting at 215lb. I got my Combustion in the mail yesterday, and I started it today. Dosing will follow the instruction, 2 upon waking up, and one 6-8 hours later. I may increase the dose being that I'm a bit of a stimjunkie. I'll figure it out after a couple days. This log will probably be like my previous one. Here goes.

Day 1: Legs
warmup: .5mile incline treadmill in <9min @ 3.4-3.6 speed
squats (somewhere inbetween atg&parallel): 45x20, 135x12, 185x8, 225x10, 275x8, 295x3, 295x6, 315x4 (new PR), dropset 225x8, 135x12
walking lunges (each step = 1 rep): 95x20 x2, 95x16 x2, 95x24 x2
straight leg dead lifts: 135x12, 225x10, 275x10, 295x8, 315x6 (new PR, 2 weeks ago I hit 295x4 and that was a PR)
leg extensions: 45x10, realized my legs were fried, and went home

Daily Supplements:
CL Orange Triad
Liv52
Fish Oil
Fitness Fiber
Mesomorph (soon to be White Flood v2)
Myofusion
Xtend
7-KE

Diet: Typically it's <100g carbs, at least bw-grams of protein, and moderate fat. All clean foods unless I have a cheat meal. I don't count calories, but I do watch what I eat.
3 piece bacon, 2 eggs
can of tuna w/ some mayo
-gym-
1 serving raisins
high fiber oatmeal
3 scoops myofusion
Fresh&Easy Portabella Pappardelle (28g fat, 52g carb, 13g protein) and asparugus. (normally dont eat pasta but it was a good leg day)
Almonds
Chicken breast w/ ranch
Meatloaf

Initial Reaction: Definitely got a little warm after the morning dose, esp because I was rushing to get to my 8:00AM summer class. Got lazy during my 2hr class, but that always happens. During my warmup I felt like I had A LOT of energy, felt like it required much less effort to do. Throughout the workout I felt good, felt like I needed less rest between sets, and I really felt like I was on point today. I mean, I hit 2 PRs, but my legs were really rested up from taking it easy yesterday, so idk if that's the reason for that. Didn't experience excessive sweat. So far to note: increase in stamina, focus, and energy. Awesome.

Oh, and here's a starting pic. Taken yesterday. I'm 6'3", 215lb. and idk my BF%, 13ish? idk, u tell me.

Did you 1 or 2 caps? 2 caps along with some added caffeine (jack3d, Rockstar, 100mg caf cap, etc.) does me REAL good!

[kanakafarian]

Day 2: Cardio
10min foam rolling & stretching

3 piece bacon, 2 whole eggs
chicken breast and broccoli

Today's Reaction: Never did this much cardio!...ever. My legs were kinda tight from yesterday, but I just ignored the pain and went hard. I was originally planning on doing 30min @ full incline but I just wanted to keep going! I do believe the COMBUSTION is to blame for this . 2 days in a row I noticed increased stamina and increase energy. Loving it so far.

[kanakafarian]

Today was the 1st day of White Flood v2, which started out solid, and got ruined by some off-topic issues.

Reactions - Still noticing the energy. And it must be working, because I had a rest/semi-cheat day, followed by an overall bad gym day, and I'm losing weight.

WF V1 put me to sleep - it literally made me groggy. How do you like V2 so far?

V1 was literally the worst preworkout I ever bought. But v2 was better! I really was having a good workout until I got side-tracked with a personal issue that ruined my day. The issue was worked out last nght and im planning on hitting the gym hard today with the v2. Im recently coming off mesomorph and n2kts which are neck and neck for the best prewo I've ever used. Hopefully today will give me a good enough feel for wfv2 so I can write a review.

[Resolve]

Sorry about the personal issue, but glad you worked it out. I agree, Mesomorph is great stuff. Lookn forward to what WFv2 does for ya, and of course for future updates on Combustion.

Today's Reaction: Today was consitent with the other days. Good energy, strong lifts. I took WFv2 for the second time today, and am not sure how I feel about it. I had a solid lifts, but I wasn't really feeling it. I didn't have the kind of focus that I'm used to. Idk if this is because of the WF, or if it's something psychological. I'm gunna hold off on the write-up for it until I'm sure about it. Buuuuut the combustion was good to go

**Post-WO weight 211.2, holy crap. I liked my previous pace of ~2lb per week, but this is ~4lb in 6 days , I don't want to be sacrificing precious muscle. I've been feeling lethargic, and I'm almost 100% sure it's because of the White Flood I've been taking the past few days. I'm gunna use Mesomorph or N2KTS tomorrow.

Today's ReactionsWell my weight is going down. I'm pretty sure I'm noticing more cuts and more definition from my starting pic. That was only 6 days ago! Thumbs up for progress, but I hope I'm not losing muscle. I'll see what happens tomorrow with the preworkout situation, but for now the Combustion is still getting a
