Capt says howdy to SLINshot and fat smack XR (Sponsored)

[CaptHowdy5150]

You wanted the best?

With huge thanks to Purus reps Aaron, Grambo and Colin over at mind and muscle, I am fortunate enough to be running SLINshot and fat smack XR. I must say I am extremely excited for this log as I am a big fan of Purus Labs and have had great results with their products in the past.



Some beginning stats:
Age: 30
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 195 lbs
BF%: 23% (According to my digital scale)

Now, let's get to the good stuff. Put the women and children to bed and let's go lookin for dinner boys.

Day One: Monday, April 30.
Starting this log the day after I turned 30. Working a 12 hour shift from 0700-1900 and I didn't get but 3 hours sleep the night before so it was going to be a long day. I took 2 caps of fat smack XR at 0730 and 10 minutes later noticed a pretty intense burning sensation in my throat. I love that burn! At 0745 I could feel the energy boost starting and by 0815 I was completely energized and wide awake. I looked at the clock at 1015 and had no idea where the time went. I had made my entries in my work log so I was awake and aware, but couldn't remember that time. It was at this point that I decided that fat smack XR made work go by faster and that I loved this bottle. At 1230, I took 2 caps of SLINshot and 15 minutes later I ate my lunch, even though I wasn't all that hungry from the appetite suppression effects of fat smack XR. My job is seriously boring and just makes me want to fall asleep and at 1400 I gave in and took 2 more caps of fat smack XR to keep from sleeping on the job. Once again, I felt the burning feeling followed by the energy boost and then realized that just as in the morning, time had seemingly disappeared. How I do love that. Although I did learn that I probably could have gotten away with taking one cap the second time around as sleep didn't come easily once I got home and went to bed. I was definitely urinating more than usual today, bye bye water weight.

Day Two: Tuesday, May 1.
8 hour day at work today which meant hitting the gym after work. Shift started at 0800 and I took 2 caps of fat smack XR at 0815. Results were exactly the same as day one. The pepper extracts had me burning and then the energy took over. I am definitely NOT disappointed. At 1120 I took 2 caps of SLINshot and then ate at 1135. Once again, I had to force myself to eat. Not much to mention at this point for the SLINshot, as both days my lunch only had right at 80g of carbs so I haven't had a heavy carb containing meal yet. I took one more cap of fat smack XR at 1330 and this time I felt the burning sensation in my stomach. Time flew by and before I knew it, I clocked out at 1600 and headed to the gym. No pwo today, I had plenty of energy already. It didn't take much at all for me to start pouring sweat once I started lifting. My heart rate was definitely elevated some and I know I was burning some cals. Smack dat fat. Workout session was awesome and I was absolutely drenched in sweat by the time I was done. I was again peeing much more than normal today.
Workout results:
Standing EZ bar curls: 3 sets 10 reps

45 degree seated curl: 3 sets 10 reps

Day Three: Wednesday, May 2.
Day off work which translates to sleeping in a little and putting in a good, long day at the gym. I woke up around 0900 decided I'd try just taking one cap of fat smack XR and see how that played out. I then ate a small breakfast with two slinshot. I had to run to town and take care of some business and then it was off to the gym. I used half of my last sample of Muscle Marinade before hitting the weights. All I can say is INTENSE. I hit the lifts like a man possessed. Energy levels before the MM were subtly raised, definitely a big difference from taking 2 caps of fsxr. But the mixture of a cap of fsxr and half a dose of MM was nuts. It took about half a set for that thermogenic effect to hit and the sweat was pouring. I definitely had some veins popping out in my arms and even noticed some popping in my shoulder during side raises. I felt today like I haven't in a while and couldn't stop finding something else to do. I threw the "routine" out the window and just tore the gym up.
Workout results:
Front plate raise: 3 sets 15 reps
Standing DB lateral raise: 3 sets 10 reps
Bent over DB rear delt raise: 3 sets 10 reps
DB shoulder press: 3 sets 10 reps
DB upright row: 3 sets 12 reps
Shoulder shrugs: 6 sets 10 reps
Cable tricep extension: 4 sets 10 reps
Dips: 3 sets 10 reps
DB overhead tricep extension: 3 sets 10 reps
Skull crushers: 3 sets 10 reps
Iso row: 3 sets 10 reps
Preacher curl: 3 sets 8 reps
Hanging leg raises: 3 sets 20 reps
Calf raises: 3 sets 15 reps
25 minutes on elliptical to finish up then a shower and a good soak in the hot tub.

Tonight, I took two more slinshot before supper. I took them too early though and it ended up being 40 minutes till I ate and I started feeling a little light-headed. My body was not happy that I set it up for food and then didn't give it to it soon enough.

[AaronJP1]

Nice update.

If you're out of MM, try 2 caps of FS XR before ya lift.

As far as SLINshot goes I usually try and stick around 30 minutes max. I get angry to when I'm like I'm about to eat and 45 minutes drifted by and I just take my first bite!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks man. I wanted to try the fsxr/mm combo today just to have a little fun. The fsxr is definitely enough alone pre-workout though, I found that out yesterday. And, I hate it when something comes up and keeps me from my food..LOL Apparently, so does slinshot.

[shdwmsk]

Thanks for joining. Food intake is pretty basic, around 2200 cals a day right now. I try to get around 200g of Protein, 170g carbs....just trying to keep it simple. Yeah, fat smack is a thermogenic...and a pretty strong one at that. I haven't had any problems with it so far, no indigestion, no upset stomach, no headaches...

[CaptHowdy5150]

Sorry for the lack of updates, working 12 hour shifts and trying to move sucks. I'm going to get my notes together and get caught up a little later tonight after I get some supper in me.

[CaptHowdy5150]

Alright. Like I said earlier, my apologies for lack of updates but we had a situation come up and had to find a place and start moving suddenly on top of me working 12 hour shifts, so I've been slacking here. Sometimes life just get's all in the way of fun... So, here's a treat:



Okay, now on to business.
Day 4: Thursday, May 3
2 caps of fsxr in the A.M. Same burning in the throat, which I actually like. Pretty much the same results as the first few days, energy kicked in and the work day seemed to disappear. The extended release is pretty cool. I took the caps before heading to work and felt the initial effects as usual, then an hour later was sitting there minding my own business when I felt another wave hit my head. Caught me by surprise, especially since I was talking to my boss at the time, LOL.
Lunch time, I took 2 slinshot and ate a couple turkey sandwiches...which I am getting extremely tired of eating, but I'm stuck with them for the time being. Someone saw me taking the slinshot and had to make a blue pill joke...Really? Isn't that a little outdated by now?
Still experimenting with different strategies for dosing on the fat smack. Today I didn't take any more in the afternoon. I usually take another dose to get a boost but then have trouble getting to sleep that night. With just the 2 A.M. caps, I still had plenty of energy left at the end of the day and had no trouble getting to sleep.

Day 5: Friday, May 4
Fat Smack XR: 2 caps in the A.M. Nothing new to report here, it still works. LOL I wish they didn't keep it so bleeping cold in the office so I could take more advantage of the thermogenic properties all day.
Slinshot: Changed up a little today because I simply couldn't take another day of sandwiches. I ended up forgetting to take any carbs whatsoever for lunch so didn't take any slinshot. On a side note, I should really plan ahead when it comes to my meals for work instead of rushing to pack a bag in the mornings.
After work had to get busy packing all night for the move. Found a shed snakeskin under the kitchen sink...Very happy to be leaving this house after that. I had already found a live snake in my laundry room a couple months ago. The only reptile I want in my house is my Chinese Water Dragon. I have noticed that my mood has been more upbeat this past week. With all the stress going on, that is definitely a plus.

Day 6: Saturday, May 5 Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Well, we had planned to get the Uhaul and get everything moved today, but that didn't happen. We ended up taking loads of small stuff in the suv until we get a Uhaul Tuesday.
Fat Smack XR: 2 caps A.M. It was extremely hot and I took a thermogenic...I have never seen so much sweat...LOL. I was unstoppable loading and unloading boxes though. My g/f got off easy cause with the added energy, she didn't have time to help carry boxes and got the easy job of unpacking and decorating.
Slinshot: Like a good boy, I took my supplements with me since I didn't know when I'd get a chance to eat. When we decided to take a break to eat, naturally we headed to a Mexican restaurant for Cinco de Mayo. I went ahead and took 4 slinshot since I knew I'd be taking in a ton of carbs. Chips with salsa and queso dip, steak and chicken fajitas, two tacos, half a burrito, and half a quesadilla later...LOL
I don't always eat that much, but when I do...

I wash it down with Dos Equis.
Haha, couldn't resist that one. Anyway, I felt pretty good after the meal. Usually I'd be sleeping that off for a few hours, but I think the slinshot helped me here and I had no bloatedness and still was fine for energy.

Day 7: Sunday, May 6
Fat Smack XR: 2 caps A.M. Back to the 12 hours of "fun" at work. Today, I actually didn't feel the burning sensation from the fsxr. I missed it, we have grown so close in the past week. I still had all the energy as usual. Sundays at my job are the slowest days ever and so freaking boring, if not for added energy, I don't think I could make it 12 hours. Think I'll weigh-in tomorrow and see if anything has changed in the first week. I'm not expecting much of a change, but even a small drop would be a win.
Slinshot: Was running late this morning and couldn't take lunch so my g/f said she'd bring me something. She brought me McDonald's dollar menu...LOL. Two McDoubles and a McChicken. I looked in the bag, thought about it, then took three slinshot. 20 minutes later, I dug in. I've missed McDonald's, but that clown only wants to sabotage my health so we don't meet up very often.

I hate going so long without going to the gym, but it happens. The good thing is that our new house is only a mile and a half from the gym, as opposed to where we've been living which is 20 miles from the gym. Yessir! So ready to get this move over with and get back to a "normal" life. One more pic before I leave ya'll....

Yep, ya'll thought it was gonna be a hot girl. Nope, me with the cardboard stand-up mariachi they had at the restaurant.

[AaronJP1]

Nice pics of the ladies & good job w/updates.

Why do you have to move?

So SLINshot is helping the bloat?

A bunch of b.s. with the landlord. Sold the house we were renting even though he said he wouldn't. Oh well, the new house is better, bigger, closer to the gym and $200 cheaper per month on rent.

Yeah, on the meals I've taken in a pretty high level of carbs, I can tell a difference. I honestly didn't know how I'd log SLINshot when I started, since I didn't know what to expect with this type of supplement and how to gauge the effects. But it is showing me the way.

I mean you can go through a bottle rather quickly.
My biggest problem is I forget to take it before I eat sometimes.... & other times I take it right before I eat..... So oh well.

I can see where it could go pretty quickly if you dose it according to how many carbs you take in instead of just taking two caps like the bottle says. I think there's all types of dosing in the logs that are up. The only problem I've had so far is when I didn't get to eat soon enough after taking it; I haven't forgotten to take it yet, but it's likely I will.
