FLAWED'S FIGHTING THE FAT WITH FAT FREE!

First off I'd like to take a second to thank FW Friedel and Applied Nutriceuticals for the opportunity to log fat free along with my current stack. I'm definitely looking forward to it and hoping that I get the results from this supplement which has potential!

Alright I wont go too in to detail on my but I will give you a short overview. I've been training off and off for about 10 years. I usually go hard for 1-3 months and end up getting sick or something that requires me to miss a few days. A few days turn in to a few weeks, and a few weeks turns in to a few months. I'm sure plenty of you know what I'm talking about. Not only that in the last 2 years I've been a full time student and during the busy months of work I am working 45-60 hours a week doing landscaping. Now you would think landscaping should keep me in pretty good shape.... think again, I get laid off every winter except for snow plowing and I have gone through this yo-yo of getting lean during summer (almost too lean because I lose muscle) and then getting chunk while sitting around all winter.

Well this winter that changed, I hit the gym ferociously and I am happy to say that as of this friday I will have hit my short term goal. My short term goal is to be consistent in the gym for 12 weeks. So in 5 days I will have hit the gym 5-6 days a week, sometimes twice a day for 12 weeks. Which is also change for me over the last few years because since about 2007, even when I was doing consistent workouts I never lifted more than 3 days a week with either two body parts a day or full body workouts. I am back to one body part a day for the first time in 2005 and I am actually loving it. I understand that hitting the body parts multiple times a week like full body workouts is more stimulation throughout the year... but for some reason my body responds much better to one body part a day, I feel like my muscle mass on my upper body is reaching areas that I have't seen since 2005 when I was hitting up the m1t haha. So I am going to keep at this awhile.

Ok so I am ranting... on to two last points. My two best physiques ever were 1) when I was in the Marines, but I was too skinny. Lost almost all my muscle in boot camp thanks to all endurance work. 2) Post Marines when I was on m1t I got put on about 15 lb of muscle up to 215 and got down to apporixmately 12% bodyfat.

This brings me to my last and final goal. I want to surpass my best physique every which would be the last one. I just passed my 10 year mark of knowing about fitness and working out. I am tired of looking at myself in the mirror and not being pleased with the way I look... I've been at this 10 fxcking years... I should at least be looking good! It's sad that I research everything about bodybuilding and lifting and I know a shxtload about nutrition... people I know come to me constantly with questions. How can the guy who has a encyclopedia of fitness knowledge in his noggin not apply everything he knows?

So my challenge to myself... and my challenge to you... help me break through this barrier I've set up in my mind. Help me fight the fat!

Ok.... Time for the good stuff!

My training regime is a mix of what I was doing a couple weeks ago and a workout plan based on a text released by Scivation a couple years ago for a preshowtime cut. Which reminds me a lot HST but its not full body workouts.

Schedule:
Sunday: Complete Rest Day
Monday: Back
Tuesday: Chest and Core
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Off and Core
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Bi's, Tri's, and Core

Since this a 30 day run of Fat Free you will probably only see 4 weeks of my training run... unless I buy another bottle due to the results! But during the next four weeks I will have 3 weeks of 12-15 reps and 1 week of 6-12 reps.

However my entire program is a 13 weeks program which was (last week) one week of 2-3 sets, 20-25 reps 60 seconds rest.
Then 3 weeks of 3-4 sets 12-15 reps 60 seconds rest.
Four weeks of 4-5 sets 6-12 reps 90 seconds rest.
Three weeks of 5-6 sets of 5 reps 120 seconds rest.
One-Two weeks of 203 sets of 15-25 reps 50 seconds rest

Once per month I am going to take each body part to complete failure. I will accomplish this with what my buddy calls Power partials and traditional drop sets. It consists of 3 sets of 10 reps near failure then adding 30% of the wight on and only doing partial reps through the power range. 30 seconds of rest and then as many full reps as you can do (usually about 3-4), then go in to a full triple drop set by dropping 20% and doing as many full reps, and then dropping 20%... ect... I got some pretty decent size gains doing this everyday for 4 weeks.... but failure everyday for 4 weeks caught up fast so that is why I am only doing it once per month per muscle group now.

Core Schedule:
Tuesday: Chest and Core
-Weighted Core Work: Usually heavy decline crunches with weight overhead and weighted leg raises
Thursday: Off and Core
-Core class at my gym... brutal sets of circuit training.
Saturday: Bi's, Tri's, and Core
-Ab Roller, Medicine Ball Pikes, and Yoga/Pilates class

I hate to admit it but I did that yoga pilates class with my gf for the first time 2 weekends ago... and I actually really liked it. Awesome stretching and its the first time my abs have been sore in like 10 weeks.

Supplements:
App Nut's Fat Free: 2 in the AM, 1 Afternoon
PES Erase: 1 Am, 1 Pm
D-Aspartic Acid: 3g daily
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate: 2-3g daily
Citrulline Malate: 2-6g daily
Agmatine: 1g only on high carb days
Driven Sports Craze: 1 Scoop pre lifting days
Scivation Xtend: 1-5 scoops daily
Vitamin C
Fish Oil
Vitamin D

Diet:
Alright... So as some of you know Lean Gains / Intermittent Fasting has recently become a pretty big thing on this board. Some love it, some dont... personally I'm in the love it group. It's definitely helped me to eat better choices and really it seems to have been leaning me up. Also it completely corrected some blood sugar issues I was having. The below post is from the LG/IF thread about my blood sugar.

Back in August I think it was... when I decided to first start a Lean Gains style diet... I went and got my blood tests done. My doctor did not like when I told him how I was eating... hes the traditional 5-6 times a day no more than 500 cals plus snacks kind of guy... (im going to see if I can find my chart quick with my numbers). Anyways I went in 2010 because as a 25 year old male I figured I should start getting my blood tests just to stay on top of any potential problems. My glucose came back at 100 which he told me was pre-diabetic and he wanted to potentially put my on some meds to keep that in check. My response was that I didn't want to be dependent on meds and that I would lose weight and come back. So I came back this august (not really any lighter but a bit leaner from doing lean gains for a month or so)

08/2010 Numbers - 08/2011 Numbers
Glucose: 100 - 77 (-23 points!)
Cholesterol: 152 - 139
Triglyceride: 56 - 26 (Apparently this number is very low most likely to my use of fish oil)
HDL: 55 - 61
Calc LDL: 86 - 72
Calc Non HDL: 97 - 78

So as you can see... While it might not be all Lean Gains helping me... it definitely was a large part of dropping my blood sugar not only in to normal numbers but dropping 23 fxcking points! Not to mention all of my numbers went down with the exception of HDL which went up 6 points. And the doc said I have "beautiful" Cholesterol haha


So my diet is going to me high and low carb. Only eating from noon to 8pm everyday.

Sunday: Low Carb/High Protein - 1600-2000 Cals (50g Carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Monday: High Carb/High Protein - 2500-3000 Cals (250-300g carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Tuesday: Low Carb/High Protein - 1600-2000 Cals (50g Carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Wednesday: High Carb/High Protein - 2500-3000 Cals (250-300g carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Thursday: Low Carb/High Protein - 1600-2000 Cals (50g Carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Friday: High Carb/High Protein - 2500-3000 Cals (250-300g carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)
Saturday: High Carb/High Protein - 2500-3000 Cals (250-300g carb, 200-250g Protein, 50-100g Fat)

Per the advice of MrKleen I went ahead and made sure my high carb days were on big muscle groups like back and legs.

Alright that is all I can think of for now! I'll add more if I think I forgot anything! Let me know if you guys want to know anything else!

Day 1:
I definitely have a high tolerance for stimulant fat burners... so Imagine my surprise right now 30-40 min after taking my Fat Free that I feel like a stimmed out crackhead! About to leave for the gym soon so we will see how that goes. I will be reporting back later!

Also I saw one other user on this forum of bb.com say they had to poop after taking the Fat Free. I went number two before I took Fat Free this morning and about 30 minutes after taking Fat Free I hit the john again... a little less solid this time. I used to get this with Ephedrine as well. Chance are I'm not 225 lbs anymore! hahahahaha

Some people don't count the protein from BCAA's. I however don't see a problem with it since they are pretty much broken down protein blocks and used like protein. So for my own record I will count them.


Notes on todays dose of Fat Free:

Overall today went very well. I still feel like I have some energy and it's slowly dying down. I do feel like I will be getting some good sleep tonight! Feeling like I will be drained pretty soon here. Overall the energy from Fat Free was off the hook! I felt like a stimmed out crack head this morning and I am not even sure if I should have taken my craze pre workout. Definitely glad I am not mixing this with my Alpha T2 at the moment. It is odd that I feel so stimmed out since I am normally not very sensitive to stims and I didn't see anything on the ingredient label that was high in stims.

The appetite suppression is really good it seems. I had a hard time eating my first meal and when I went to make the second meal I was dreading downing the shake. We will see how the last meal of the day goes. Tomorrow being low carb low cal should be a hell of a lot easier.

My mood was so so, I felt a bit cranky and blah this afternoon. But I attribute that more to I just wanted something to do and was bored out of my mind. Especially with my gym visits being short the next couple weeks due to decreased reps between sets. I feel like I get to the gym and leave right away wishing I could stay longer ha.

I'll report back on sleep tomorrow!​

Its called "Game Over: The Last Showtime Cut Diet You'll Ever Need"

Im obviously not following the diet protocol but just the workout. We'll see how it goes. Right now I am in the 15 rep ranger and I hate having my reps higher than 10-12 because I feel like I am doing pansy weight but gotta stay adamant about it!

i'd add more fat personally, or even consider some junk calorie carbs. Throw in a donut postworkout :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I am going to do my best to avoid junk calorie carbs for now. I am going to run this set up for about 2 weeks without cardio and see what happens... I think I am going to be hitting 2500-2800 calories on high carb days. That first meal ended up being an entire fxcking plate of brown rice, chicken, and then cottage cheese... I had to take breaks because I didnt think I'd make it through the whole thing.

I think this is the best Im going to get it for now for lifting days.

2600 Calories - 296g Carb - 239g Protein - 63g Fat

Still feel like my calories could use a sprucing up but I have a hard time believe that at getting that amount of Carbs and Protein a day... that I would be underselling myself

Fats, maybe protein a tad.

I think these numbers would be stellar with a couple scoops of whey protein added in. 2 scoops on average should bring you up about 200 calories depending on the brand of protein which would get you around 2800.

Day 2:


Day Number Dos is not starting so well. Only slept about 4-4.5 hours last night. Just couldn't get comfortable and my mind was racing.
Lets hope this was just a last night thing. I may take my 2nd dose around 1pm today instead of 2pm and hope that it wasn't from the stims in the Fat Free. Everything else is great so far otherwise.

I can definitely tell I was bloated after the weekend. I dropped 3.4 lbs since yesterday morning on an empty stomach.

I am going to try and pass back out for a bit and see if I can rest up. Don't really feel like trying to stay awake all day and I hate taking naps during the day because then I wont sleep again tonight.

Edit: Fell back asleep and when I woke up I was down another pound... down to 220.6 this morning on a empty stomach




Wake Up:
4 Scoops Xtend
2 Caps Fat Free

I am extremely pleased with todays workout. Ohhhhhh yeah! I am like 7 weeks away from doing any heavy lifts for low reps but I had to see if my strength has gone up. So even though I was supposed to do 15 reps of chest today... After talking to a friend last night about maxes... I couldn't help but to see if I am stronger than before... Hit then flat bench right away... got 295 x 1 no problem... then hit 315 x 1 for no problem! Probably could have added about 10 lbs... but I am satisfied for now. Been about 2 years since I did 315 for bench and I only did it once back then... this time is went up easier so I know thats pretty much a new PR for me! Wooooo! Can't wait till about 7-9 weeks from now to see how my strength is then!

Haha. I haven't had the green poop like you, man. Workout program looks good. I actually did the same Scivation workout program/diet when I prepped for my first bodybuilding contest back in 2010. It really does work as long as you are consistent! That's the key. Now, I'm doing Intermittent Fasting and LOVE it!!!!

I have yet to try 2 pills of FF, and am kind of interested to see how I respond to it. Hopefully, you will sleep better this evening, as it appears that you are taking the pills early enough in the day that they shouldn't impact your rest.

I slept like utter crap again last night! I'm giving it one more night to see how I do tonight because I am exhausted. I always have a level of sleep anxiety where I often wake up and end up laying there for hours. I am pretty exhausted today so hopefully if I can put off going to sleep till bed time I will make it! I might take a double dose of Muscle Pharms Bullet Proof (phenibut, gaba, bcaa's and stuff) to knock me out tonight since I worked a big muscle group today and can use the recovery.

I like the Scivation plan so far! Except I always want to do high weight low reps so some days I dont feel like I am doing much but I've gotten some hella pumps on the high reps so far... we'll see how it goes!

Thanks for checking out the log!

PS - Green poop is now a thing of the past lol... today its not green... just no solidity! hahahahahaha... I always have to go about 30 min after doing fat free as well... even if its directly after already going poo

if you are having trouble sleeping still, i would take 1 cap of fat free in the morning then 1 cap around 1PM
Thanks for shooting over to the log R1! I am going to give it one more night before I drop the dose back.

Fat intake was a bit higher today then I would have preferred but since its a heavy calorie day I'm not too worried about it. Just glad I got my carbs and protein in! Also the food choices weren't all the same I would usually have but once again I was running around and forced to make some on the spot decisions.

NOTES FOR TODAY:
Appetite suppression is REALLY on point with Fat Free. I can be at the end of a 18 hour fast and eating a plate of brown rice and chicken... which my body is probably aching for... is a really difficult task. Almost makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it! Hahaha I have had no cravings.

Energy has been great considering the lack of sleep I am getting. Definitely was sweating like a pig doing legs today.

Once again I didn't sleep well last night. I am giving it one more shot before I lower the dose. I have sleep anxiety to some level... its only been self diagnosed hahahaa... but every since finishing up being in the Marines I don't sleep well anymore. Once or twice a week usually I will wake up in the middle of the night and lay there wide awake for hours. If my girlfriend rolls too close to me or I get to warm I start getting the craziest feelings of extreme agitation. Last night I finally left the bed to go sleep on the couch at 5am. Maybe one of the ingredients intensifies my sleep anxiety?

Like my post before I am going to double dose my sleep and recovery supplement tonight to see how that helps.

You wouldnt think taking it in the morning would affect too much. I barely took a half scoop of my pre today though cause Fat Free does a pretty damn good job of providing energy itself.

Ohhhhhh yeah today was a food slam! Also my cheat day.

NOTES FOR TODAY:
The sleep the last two nights has been 100 times better! Energy is still really good and appetite suppression has decreased a little bit for 1 dose AM and 1 dose PM. We will have to see if it steps back up when i go back to 2am. Other than that nothing too crazy on leaning up yet but I do something to report come monday

I would wait to jump to two caps in the morning. Wait until you build some tolerance. Sleep is really important. Sounds like two caps a day is the sweet spot for most

Workout felt very good. All my lifts are up in weight from last week as they should be and some of the ones I fell short on last week I used the same weight and got higher reps so I'll take it!

TOTAL FOOD INTAKE1295 Calories - 249g Pro - 22g Carbs - 27g Fat (whoops!)



As you can probably see my calorie intake is in quite a defecit. After following and seeing Mr.Kleens progress on Lyle Mcdonald's Rapid Fat loss program I decided to give it a try myself. I have been hitting it hard now for about 12 weeks and I have for the first time in my life not cared about the scaled. I've leaned up a bit and definitely put on size but now I am getting closer to my vacation and what not i want to see what I can do about trimming up my love handles asap while retaining muscle. So since Fat Free is supposed to awesome at preventing catobolism I decided why the hell not. Now I have tried low carb diets in the past (CKD, KETO) and failed everytime. So after today I decided that I would go ahead and eat a **** load of veggies to keep my stomach full and not get so hungry. Wish me luck! 12 days of pure protein... low card... and probably pure hell!


NOTES FOR TODAY:
None so far. Energy is still off the hook. Appetite suppression is not nearly as strong on one cap in the morning and one in the afternoon as it was on 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon

Once again all my lifts are definitely up. Only one that hurt more than last week was the Pec Dec... but I attribute that to making sure my rest times were definitely no more than 60 seconds today.

TOTAL FOOD INTAKE1193 Calories - 235g Pro - 18g Carbs - 21g Fat



As I assumed... this low of calories is PURE HELL for me. But I went to the store today and picked up a bunch of veggies to make a salad with fat free/sugar free balsamic vinegrette. Got romaine lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, red and green peppers... should be pretty delicious and chock full of fiber and some substance to keep me full throughout the day. Also last night I ended up taking some metemucil for the psyllium husk fiber. Definitely helped.

Stand by for Food Intake Cals later

NOTES FOR TODAY:
I didn't sleep to well last night. Not sure about the cause there but it wasn't the same kind of sleep where I woke up and was up all night like the first week. This was more of a wake up 20 times throughout the night so I got up earlier today than normal and the fat free perked me up ASAP. Had a good workout as usual. Glad to see im down a little around my midsection. Can't wait to see how much further this will take me.

Well one things for sure... either after 12 days... or when this bag of fat free cheddar cheese runs out... I'll never buy that shxt ever again! That shxt is sick! No taste... that could damn near ruin cheddar cheese for me for the rest of my life if I eat that shxt too much!

Awesome news, man! Keep up the good work. And of course if your diet is better, the better the results will be. I'm sure you are going to kill it!
Thanks for stopping in brotha! Definitely with the low cals right now bloat is stripping off. I wish I had access to my old gym owner who did my 7 point caliper readings but shes long gone now and in a different state now. She was hot too so i never minded her pinching me all over... hahaha

NOTES FOR TODAY:
I didn't sleep to well AGAIN last night! I did think that as this being Day 3 of being law carb low calorie that I would be seeing less improvement in the gym but all my numbers are defnitely up from last week.

I went to the store and bought some 5-HTP to see if that will help with sleep. I had sleep issues once in awhile before Fat Free but so far on this it seems to be much worse

AM Dose (9am): 1 Cap Fat Free, 1 Cap Erase
PM Dose (1pm): 1 Cap Fat Free, 1 Cap Erase

Other supps: 3g Daa, 1g LCLT, 4g Citrulline Malate, 4 Scoops Xtend, Multivitamin, 1g+ of EPA/DHA (fish oil), magnesium and potassium

I added in 5-HTP last night. I have had sleeping issues every since I got out of the Marines but it seems like its elevated on Fat Free... many days where I lie wide awake all night. However last night I still woke up like 4-5 times, mostly to pxss but I went back to sleep right away... Stayed in bed for 8 hours and this is the closest thing to 8 hours of sleep I've gotten in a long time! I hope the 5-HTP continues to work because it would solve a lot of sleep problems and exhaustion problems for me... which... = results in the gym!
