This is day 1 of my sponsored log from PES.

My aim is to trim down to 10% bodyfat over the next 8 weeks. I am currently 85kg at 15% body fat. I have dropped from 89kg over the last 5 weeks so i have been loosing about a 600grams a week without the aid of supplements. I estimate i have dropped about 4% body fat during this time. I have lost a small amount of muscle mass-most of it coming off my back. Hopefully with the assistance from PES i will be able to turn this cut in to somewhat of a recomp.

For the first half of this log i will be running
anabeta+alphat2 then crossing over in the middle to run anabeta+erase
I will also be using SAN Fierce as preworkout through out this log.

I have run anabeta solo before but have never used at2 or erase so it will be interesting to see how they compliment it.

I will be posting on each workout day (3 times a week) and once a week giving an update on the effects and changes over the week. As in each of my last logs i will be taking pictures before and after. I'll take some and post them later tonight.

I will vary my workouts but at the moment i have been doing 1 hour of weights with 20-30 mins of cardio at the end of the workout.
At the moment my routine looks like this:

day 1: chest shoulders tris
Day 2: legs
Day 3 Back bi's.

With the majority of my lifts being compound.

But i also like to switch it up and do full body workouts three times a week sometimes. I have often found this style better suits me for cutting down.

I will also be playing basketball 3-4 times a week.\

This should be a fun run.

Starting pics. The llight in the first two pics was very dull and didnt really show off much-but I was happy with the back pic :).

Final Review

Okay id really like to thank pes for the opportunity they gave me here to log their product. I made my best effort the entire time to get the most out of this stack. Overall i dropped a good amount of body fat. I started on day one at 85 kg at 15.5% body fat and finished at 81.4 at 12%. However, i went and did a skinfold reading and measured 10% bodyfat. My hips started at 37 inches and finished at 33.5. My waist was 35.5 inches and is now 31.5.However, words dont mean a thing- i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.



Ive decided i wont rate everything out of 10. However i will give pros and cons of each.



Anabeta/Alpha-t2
I had already been trimming down for about 5 weeks before i started this log. My strength had been declining slowly (understandably). So i thought these two would be a great way of kicking this stack off. While on this part of the stack i noticed that when i was in the gym i really worked hard-i pushed harder than ever before. I had not cut my calories as drastically at this point and was setting new pr's on every aparatus. My strength was through the roof and I was sweating like crazy. I was actually beating pr's i hit while i was bulking. I did notice a strength gain in my solo anabeta log as well, and it kicked in at about week 2 both times. My vascularity also started to become quite noticeable towards the end and i even got a few comments from people in the gym.

I found the stims in at2 helped me keep going throughout the day and i did not need as much caffeine as usual. I also felt like i had to do a lot of cardio after each workout while combining these two supplements. I think this was detrimental and i lost some muscle mass towards the end as i was doing too much cardio after long weight sessions. Really i should have known better. The only real problem i had came from AT2. Sometimes(not all the time) it have me a strong rapid heart beat. This often made it difficult for high intensity cardio like basketball and i struggled in some games.



Pros:
Strength gain (while not reducing calories too much)
Increased vascularity
Strong drive
Increased energy
Strong thermogenic effect

Cons
Sometimes affected heart rate.



Anabeta/Erase
This was the second half od the stack which i started after a week break due to sickness. Both kicked in pretty quickly and i could feel a major difference on erase. I actually preferred this stack because i did get an increased heart rate and really noticed an increase in endurance. What i was really impressed with about this part of the stack is that i started to recomp even on a fairly large calory deficit. For example, one week i lost .6% of body fat, had the same hydration levels, but only lost 100 grams. I was very impressed.

For comparison sake i'll mention that my strength went down while i was sick. While i was not eating as much as before i did notice my strength do back up. I was not setting pr's, but i was not disapointed non the less.

The other prominent pros were the vascularity, and the positive emotional feelings this gave me. I woke up feeling like the f*cking man some days. And I really noticed the leaning effects of erase. I really noticed this in my face and mid section. After being off of it a few days though ive had a little water come back in to these areas. I wish i took the photos of my abs before today-lol.

The only con from this that i can recall is acne. It wasnt bad, i just got a few big red zits. My joints also started getting a little tight towards the end of the bottle. I then started to tapper down.

Pros
Strong recomp effect
Great sence of well being
Flushes water
Increased endurance
Further increased vascularity

Cons
Acne
Tight joints towards the end.

Would i use this again?
Yes. Id love to try them all at once but im a big fan of Anabeta/erase.

In summary
I'd like to Thank PES again for the opportunity for logging this. Thankyou natty for initiating the offer and Ben for your support and advice throughout-- If you are ever looking for someone to log any new products i would be more than happy too. :) Its been a great run.

Thanks Mitch and Natty. Its nice to see you following along.



Day 2: A little quick update for today-its my only day i do absolutely nothing

Even though i did back and bis workout yesterday my chest is quite sore today which has stumped me. Im quite sore along the borders of my chest (from the bottem right up and around the sides) Ive never had this from a back workout before. It must of been the way i did dead lifts or something.

I took two at2 this morning.....wow...my heart was pounding for about an hour. I might cut back to just one morning and one in the afternoon fora few more days. I'll take my last AB with my last meal.

Im feeling nice and pumped all over today and can feel my muscles starting to harden up a little.

I really felt like doing some cardio tonight - I might go for a quick jog after this. I also Might get up early in the morning and do some fasted cardio before playing bball tomorrow night.

Thats it for today.

Day 3: Cardio day

Today is a cardio day. I started with 45 mins fasted cardio. I took 1 alpha t2 + Preworkout (SAN FIerce+alcetyl carnatine) hit the cross trainer and burnt 640 calories in 45 mins.
I then took a second alpha t2 -i was trying to see if splitting the dose would have any less effect on my heart rate. Unfortunately i still had the same issue so i will have to have just one morning and one afternoon. I look on this as a good thing and see that my bottle will last longer than expected. :)

I still have the whole day ahead of me with basketball game tonight. Catch you guys tomorrow.

Day 4: Chest shoulders abs.

I went back too two at2 today and that worked great. I really started to feel overheated while sitting doing nothing in class. After my second dose and gym visit i was even warmer.

I ate more carbs today than I have been. I was trying to give myself strength for the session. Unfortunately my post workout meal was ****:fried food rice and sugary crap i was made feel obliged to eat (a birthday party). So i went back to the gym after and did 20 mins cardio to try burn some of excess energy off.

During my first cardio bout of HIIT-people were actually looking and pointing at the amount of sweat coming off of me. Go AT2!

I absolutely smashed chinups! I also focused on very short breaks.

Workout:
Chinups: 100 in around 15-20 mins
The first 5 sets were in a superset with cable pushdowns 24kgx10

Day7: Legs

Today was fairly decent. I tweaked my lower back in the gym so im going to take a day off tomorrow and just do cardio for a few days. It was my first day back doing squats after doing my back 2 months ago. This time, instead of continuing, i stopped and just layed on the floor for 10 mins straight away instead of ignoring it. Its sore and stiff-but it will definatly be okay in a few days. Im glad i didnt ignore it. I might do hack squats from now on where my back is supported.

Workout:
Lunges:
BW: 20 reps
20kg x20
28kgx20
28kgx20

Seated calf raise
30kgx12 3 sets

Squats:
50kgx10
60kgx10
60kgx10
80kgx10

I was working my way up through the sets for this. My legs found it easy-apparently my back didnt even though it only hurt once i racked it. I was watching in the mirror. It didnt look like i was leaning too far forward-i may have done something wrong, or maybe its just my back, i am unsure.

I stopped the workout here.

I checked my blood pressure tonight. It was 120/64 with 54 pulse.

Weekly weigh in tomorrow!

Weekly write up1:

Weight: 83.5kg
Body fat: 14.6% (down from 15.5 if i take the word of the scales)
Muscle: 48.2%
Water: 61.5%
Blood pressure:120/64
Resting Pulse: 56

Putting Anabeta and alpha-t2 together is an interesting combination. Ive found alpha t2 has strong appetite suppression and anabeta has a strong appetite increase. So at one point you have the thought of food making you nauseous and at other points absolutely dying for a meal haha.
Ive found i am particularly sensitive to alpha t2 and my heart beats very strong if i take 2 tablets or take it with 2 bigger dose of caffeine.

I've been very thirsty this week and really making sure I'm hydrated has been a solid task due to the amount of activity I'm doing.

I have noticed a slight increase in endurance so far and a slight increase in strength while looking visibly leaner each day. I actually got a lower body fat reading earlier in the week, but that was right after HIIT, so i figured id be cheating myself if i believed that.

Diet:
Ive eaten fairly well this week. I've been trying to carb cycle. Earlier in the week while i was on cardio only days i was only getting my carbs from vegetables (and oats in the morning). However as the week went on and i started doing compound lifts i ate more carbs (well a little more in general) through out the day before hand to power the workouts and to encourage some growth. However im on a few days off now so i'll drop my carbs again.


That's it for the first week! I'm absolutely stoked with the results so far.

Day 10
I'm looking visible leaner again today and my top two abs are beginning to pop out. :)

Today was just cardio day: i trew two quick leg exersises in for good measure.

I did 30 mins cardio on the stationary bike first thing this morning with 15 mins HIIT. That was all i could muster on an empty stomach. I followed this with 4 sets of hamstring curls.

I then ate very clean for the rest of the day eating lots of protien, low carbs and moderate fat.
I got my carbs from 2x 1/2 cup of rice (spread over two meals) and vegetables.
I got my protien from chicken, 2 eggs, beef and cottage cheese.

I then finished the day with 20 mins jogging on the treadmill (8 incline and 8kmp/h), 10 mins on the stationary bike and 4 sets of leg extensions.

Great looking stack here. That back is still giving you issues huh? You may want to start looking at doing some core stabilization exercises on off days or start your workouts with some planks and such to get your core firing. If your core is weak it's going to take a lot out of all of your lifts. The stronger it is the better every lift will be.

Thanks for the tips Rahl. I've been trying to some degree to strengthen my core by doing do 3-5 sets of situps (on a gym ball) and leg raises at the end of each weight session often i also throw in hyper extensions for my lower back. Would doing a plank use deeper muscles? It wouldn't be that hard to start and Finnish each session with it.

Sit ups are really ****ty core work to be honest. They work the abs in isolation and don't really effect your overall core strength. A plank is a much better overall core stabilization exercise. They're used in rehabilitation programs commonly. Also, wall slides are another good one. Stand with your back against a wall and slowly lower yourself to a seated position. Hold the "seated" position for 30 secs and slowly rise back up. Do sets of 5-10. I like to do normal planks in conjunction with side planks. 1 to the left, 1 in the center, 1 to the right and so on. 60 sec holds. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. After you've gotten more comfortable with them and your strength is coming up you can add in a stability ball for added challenge and strength building. Good luck!

Weekly Weigh-in:

Weight: 84kg
Body fat: 14.7% (up 0.1%)
Muscle: 48.1%
Water: 61.8%

This week it actually looks like i put on 500g (1.1 pounds) of LBM. This was Completely accidental as i was trying to loose body fat. It seems body fat reading went up by .1%, which is very minimal, so im quite happy with that gain wise. I just wish id lost the body fat as well. However i dont look at this as a bad thing-its like free lbm :)

I think my diet was responsible for this (lack of fat loss) I was trying to be smart and be fancier with carb cycling. I think i'll make it simpler this week and try straight cut and add in 3x morning sprint sessions. However, I'll remember this week for my next bulk. I'll take a pound a week with nearly no fat gain any day of the week.

It seems im starting to handle 2 alpha t2 at once (i tried it Friday afternoon) so I've tried two again this morning. If all goes well i'll up my dose.

I'm absolutely itching to workout today! i have had a few days off lifting due to other commitments. Ive been dong cardio each day though. Nearly every body part is itching to workout so i might make today a full body workout.

I also tried doing bridges Rahl. Im hopeless at these, which really shows how bad my core is.
I will being doing them before and after every workout with a focused core day once per week.

Thanks Rahl, Im going to do 3 1 minute planks before i watch the breaking bad finale.

Day 16: Shoulders

Today i hit up my shoulders as i believe i need to pay some extra attention to them. Im going to try do these twice a week.

I'm really starting to feel anabeta kick in this week. I feel much stronger in the gym and again nearly hit some pbs i was hitting in the peak of my bulk.

I also purchased the new xtend to throw in as intra workout which i found helped dramatically-espessially with my cardio at the end.

Normally im only up to walking on the incline on the treadmill after a workout-but today i ran for 20 mins.

My diet today was fairly lean with the majority of carbs consumed before 4pm.

I'll be having a recovery day today. I pulled up pretty sore after last nights workout. I may do some core work and cardio later, but it will be very basic if i do anything today.

Today was a rest day but i decided to do 9x60m sprints. I was supposed to do 10, but felt like i would sustain an injury if i ran another time. My first 5 felt pretty quick but i slowed down a bit after this as my quads were hurting. I ate fairly lean today aside from my cheat meal at lunch. I didnt feel great about it, thats why i did the sprints. It did taste good though so i figure it was worth it.

Im doing very low carbs tomorrow. Hopefully i'll make a dent in my BF% this week. Otherwise i will have to assume i need to only do vegetables for carbs every day.

Week 3 Weekly weigh in.

Weight 84
Fat %: 14.7 (no change)

I seet a number of PR's this week and my strength is increasing nicly. I hope it continues to rise. Vascularity is way up, I think this gave me a false impression that i was loosing weight. I was a little surprised i had no change in body fat, ive been working my ass off and ate extremely clean the whole week. Even my girlfriend is surprised its not going anywhere. Maybee im just eating a little bit to much portion wise. I'll try reducing portion size this week.

I ate nearly no carbs on wednesday thursday Friday. I was absolutely exhausted yesterday and ate carbs every meal to in an attempt to feel better. It helped a little but not much. Today i will go medium carb, two days off with low carb and a carb up again wednesday.

Another thing i might try, and i wouldnt mind some feedback on this thought, is a little less emphasis on the weights-so one exersise 3 sets on each body part and then have more of an emphasis on cardio. Maybee that is the change i need.

Day 22:
Upper body

I tried to have a more laid back workout today as ive been feeling a little run down over the past few days. Although My scales say i am not dropping body fat i thought i was looking leaner.

Workout:
Hammer streangth lat pulldown
120 kgx10 (PR)
160kgx5 (PR) A dude came over and offered a spot on this set. He said with 4 plates either side i deserved a spot. lol after the fifth rep i lost concerntration for a second and i came out from under the lap bar and shot up towards the roof.
140x7>120x5>100x5>80x5

Unfortunately i seem to have got that cold....bugger ey.....so im going to have a rest from training while i have it, (but not my diet.) Hopefully this is only for a few days. I just did a quick weigh in because i thought i was looking lean today and i have started to loose body fat again. So that diet i posted above is on the money for me as far as fat loss goes.

Weekly weight in 4: 84kg (halfway)
bodyfat percentage: 14.4%

So it looks like my diet is working a little better this week and i have found my spot for my fat burning. I thought this was a good drop this week considering ive been sick and only had one workout. Hopefully im up and going again in a few days.

This also marks the halfway point for the cycle. I was hoping to have lost more weight but no matter, ive been trying my ass off so..ive lost what ive lost.

Well after being sick for a few days i am going to start back at the gym tomororow. I played ball tonight and felt fine. I finnished the first bottle of anabeta while i was sick and didnt start the second. I will start up at day 29 tomorrow as i start back on anabeta erase and finnish at2.

On a personal note i have a funny feeling i wont make it to 10% by the end of the log. But i am aiming for 12! I think i set my expectations a little too high.
