First of all thank you to Farenhein Nutrition and Hvactech for hooking me up with this product.
This will be my 4[SUP]th[/SUP] sponsored log and I have previously run
LG Science’s Lipoburn
**** Transaderm
Purus Labs Fat Smack XR

I have been lifting for about 7 years now since I was in high school but have been seriously training for about 2 ½ years now. I train more to stay lean and build muscle and am not as worried about strength anymore. For a little background, I am an ex-collegiate baseball player and I graduated about a year and a few months ago, but no longer play baseball. I try to maintain my fitness along with building muscle by doing high intensity cardio several times a week.
My stats
6’0” 192 lbs
9.5-10% BF
I don’t max out anymore as I don’t train for strength but I can hit 225 lbs on the bench 15 times and do 30 pull ups. I will use this as a bench mark along with my bodyfat % to see how well this product works for me. I plan to maintain around 2800-3000 calories, which is my usual recomp diet.

I am very interested in seeing what GF-AMA will do as I am very unfamiliar with the ingredients listed. I do workout at night however and the recovery factor will very important to me.
Farenheit’s website lists that it will:

Burn Fat, Gain Lean Defined Muscles while improving Digestion, Controlling appetite and Minimizing Recovery Time.
GF_AMA_large.png

GF-AMA was designed to suit the needs of both Male and Female athletes and individuals looking for lean muscle gains, fat metabolism, and increased exercise requirements. GF-AMA is formulated to accelerate nutrition delivery to the group of muscles trained or in stress due to weight lifting or high intensity workouts. This creates a natural anabolic environment which results in accelerated post training recovery and improved muscle regeneration. Athletes and individuals supplementing GF-AMA showed substantial increase in muscle gain in one month while burning additional body fat daily. The workouts were longer at increased energy levels and recovery was faster.
GF-AMA contains high extracted level of ingredients like Solanum Xanthocarpum, Eclipta Alba, Myristica Malabarcia, and Swertia Chirayita which increase cholesterol, polypeptides, fatty acid degeneration in liver and metabolism resulting in a controlled and continuous supply of energy throughout the workout. While ingredients like Cuminum Cyminum, Aygyreia Speciosa, Terminalia Chebula, Emblica Officinalis, Myristica Fragrans, Myristica Malabarica, Boerhaavia Diffusa, Andrographis Paniculata, Asphaltum, and Terminalia Arjuna provide performance and immunity enhancing natural Flavonoids, Glycosides, Isoflavonoids, Isoglycosides, Ionic Minerals, Vitamins, Antioxidants, Amino Acids, Alpha and beta Sitosterols, Ursolic Acid, Alkylamides, and spilanthol. To maximize the effect of the product, there were multiple plant extracts added to enhance appetite patterns, digestion and sleep.
All ingredients were added in their highest available extract form to ensure the delivery of all these vital components in a small capsule factor.

I have run several insulin mimetics and nutrient partitioners before, but this seems to be very different. I plan to start at 2 caps a day and may increase as needed or as I become familiar.

Training will start tomorrow and consist of chest and arms.

Day 1 so far

Only got about 7 hours of sleep because some jackass when ripping down my street on a bike at 6 in the morning and I could not get back to sleep for my remaining hour, so I knocked out about 3 cups of coffee to wake me up this morning. I work in an office all day, so not much movement, but I do get to eat whenever I want, which is sweet and lets me hit my goals of about 2800-3000 calories in 6 or 7 meals.

Got home around 6 pm and ate dinner, but did not get to the gym until about 7:45 at night tonight. Tonight was chest night and I took 2 caps of the GF-AMA 30 mins before my workout.

Diet:
2600 cals
95 gms fat
140 gms carbs
270 gms protein

Went a little high on carbs and low on calories today because I didn't have any leftovers for lunch from the weekend, but tomorrow will be better. Still kept the diet clean for the day though.


My workout

1 mile on the treadmill in 6:45 secs to warm up

Dynamic Stretching

Chest:

BB Bench press coupled with hanging leg raises
135x12 to warm up with 15 sec leg raise warm up
225x15 with 35 sec hanging leg raise
225x12 with 30 sec ""
225x9 with 30 sec ""
225x10 slow concentrics with spotter with 25 sec ""

I was stoked to easily hit 225x15 on my first set, but the pump for the rest of the workout was wicked. Part of this may have been due to an increase in carbs before my workout but also may be due to the GF-AMA, only time will tell.

I was absolutely pissed as my Adidas sports headphones kicked out in one ear though. I tend to go through headphones like water and it absolutely sucks.


DB incline press coupled with back extensions
60'sx12 with 10 reps at BW
65'sx12 with 10 reps
70'sx12 with 10 reps
75'sx10 with 10 reps

65'sx12 wiith 1 min hold
70'sx12 with 50 sec hold
70'sx12 with 50 sec hold
70'sx10
70'sx9

Close grip BB Bench with dynamic stretches
135x12
135x12
135x10
115x12
115x10
95x10

Triceps bar pushdown
4x10 with last set of negatives only

End with 5 mins of HIIT cardio on elliptical


I will need to see how recovery is tomorrow but my first workout went very well. Sleep will be crucial and I am hoping to get about 7:45 mins tonight.

Update coming tomorrow morning....

Got a great night of sleep and woke up a bit tender in my triceps and shoulders, but not really sore. Had a cup of coffee and tea in the AM and am hoping to maintain my energy level throughout tue day.

Day 3

Had to go to the dentist and take an off day from the gym, which was miserable. I feel like Kramer, I haven't been able to eat solids for about 5 hours and im slobbering all over the place. Either way took my 1 cap of GF-AMA for lunch today and can't wait to hit the gym tomorrow.

Day 4

Got some great sleep although I woke up and had to piss like a pregnant woman. Had a cup of coffee and a mio energy shot to get through the day but nothing pre-workout in the way of caffeine because I haven't needed it since starting the GF-AMA. I don't get a buzz or anything like that, just not tired when I hit the gym.

Diet
2200 cals
90 gms fat
123 gms carbs
240 gms protein

My carbs were up a little because I didn't get to bring any leftovers from home, so I had to eat some old cous cous to stretch me through the day. Cooking up some nice chicken tonight though, so the diet should be just how I planned it tomorrow.

Workout

Working the rep-hold method today

Pull ups with sit ups with
1st set got to 9th rep and did 35 sit ups
2nd set up to 8th rep and 30 sit ups
3rd set to 6 reps and 25 sit ups
4th set to 7 reps and 25 sit ups
5th set neutral grip got to 7 reps and 20 sit ups

cable crunches and behind the neck pull downs
10 reps with 10 reps at 130 lbs
10 reps with 10 reps at 130 lbs
10 reps with 9 reps at 130
9 reps with 9 reps at 120 lbs
10 reps with 10 reps at 110 lbs

Cable rows with decline sit ups + 25 lbs
Don't know the weight on the cables at my gym because they look like they are from the Charles Atlas days but I did

10 reps with 10 sit ups
10 reps with 10 sit ups
9 reps with 9 sit ups
8 reps with 10 sit ups

seated hammer curls (non rep-hold) with calf raises
30x10 with BW+ 80x10
35x10 with BW+ 80x8
40x8 with BW+ 60x10
40x6 with BW+40x10

Finished with a quick 8 min cardio session but my calves and hamstrings were dead so I didn't have a ton of giddy up left in my legs to run.

On day 4, I am noticing a slight hardening effect and look a bit leaner already. Not sure if this is a diuretic effect or what, but I like the effects so far.

Long day of work and drug through most of the day but had a good meeting in the AM that got me juiced up for a few hours. That afternoon crash came as my coffee wore off and it there were all sorts of cookies and cakes in the office. I refrained and ate a can of tuna.

Noticed a bit of a leaning effect the first few days but no difference since about day 3. I expect with another hard week of workouts for the leaning effect to increase. I have noticed a slight increase in energy as usually I would be dyng without my preworkout caffeine, but I have had a steady will to workout without my normal hit of caffeine pre-WO.

Day 9

No cardio for once as my back was a bit sore, plus I really wanted to get a good chest and tricep workout.

2000 cals
73 gms fat
89 gms carbs
226 gms protein

I sure am sore from my back workout, but I am noticing my back is looking leaner and somehow bigger than ever. My lower back area where I usually hold more fat is melting away by the day and my upper back looks as wide as its ever been. My weight is actually up 1 lb so far to 193, but I attribute this to lifting legs again as my weight has increased 3 lbs over the past two months but my bodyfat has declined.

Workout

BB Bench press
135x15
225x14 with help on 15th
225x12 with help on 13
225x10 with help on 11
225x7 with help on 8

Decline DB Bench

140x17
140x14
140x12
140x10
140x9

Incline DB bench
100x20
110x16
120x15
120x13

Cable flys and cable shoulder extensions
3x12 each

I did some ab work like 6 inches and leg raises between each of the sets as usual to keep my heart rate up, but I didn't go at it with my usual intensity because my back was sore and I really was just tired out for some reason. I am a fiend for the caffeine still it seems.

Day 10

Legs day

Slept like crap and woke up for about the 5th night in a row to piss at about 4 AM. I have noted that I usually sleep much better after taking AMA but I piss a lot more at night.

Perfect timing. Everything going well with the body composition and my muscle look more full, but the whole issue of having to piss alot at night can be a bother.

It could be unrelated, just seems more than a coincidence that it started on day 2 of taking it. I will give it a few more days to really pin down the reasoning.

Worked really hard on the gluts and hamstrings as they are my weak point, so hopefully I will see some great gains soon. the biggest issue I always have is the more I work my hamstrings, the tighter my back gets and more it can hurt, so I am going to have to play the balance game on that.

Day 14 off

Day 15 and 16

Last two days before my trip to Seattle. Never been to Seattle, but I am a bit upset I won't be able to workout more than once or twice and it will be all bodyweight stuff. I am a bit split though on how to train after my short break though. Over the last 2 days I really had a great experience supersetting my main muscle groups for the day because the pump I was getting was insane, but I do feel like I lost some mass when I superset for long periods of time. I may end up hitting each muscle group a week heavy once and superset once. Almost halfway through my log and I am getting rock hard muscles similar to what others have experienced and I am loving it.

Just got back from Seattle and luckily I was able to work out at the hotel gym for 2 days during my vacation (Shame the Pats lost yesterday). It was just 1 machine with a pulldown bar and bench press bar, but I was able to at least maintain my BF levels and keep in shape while out of town. Both days I was mixed cardio and lifting in together and worked up an intense sweat. With the help of the GF-AMA, I was able to maintain even though I had to eat out everyday for close to a week. Either way, can't wait to get back to my normal routine in the gym but not work quite as much. Still having some issues with having top piss a lot when I take the GF-AMA, but it is doing a great job with recomp.

Day 19

Weighted pull ups-a bit low on endurance and strength during this, which was my first exercise. On my 3rd set, I was only able to knock out 10 reps at BW+25 when usually I can knock out 12 easily. Part of this was due to lack of exercise and all around fatigue from flying/jet lag yesterday.

I was able to keep my ab strength up and also did cobra pulldowns at 200 lbs 9 times on my 4th set, of what was my 3rd exercise. I had great endurance today overall and attribute that to the pre-WO of mio and GF-AMA. I will weigh in tomorrow and get a test on my chest endurance.

Day 20

Feelin fantastic!

Beyond still waking up to piss every night around 3-4 AM, I am doing fantastic. Weighed in today at 192.6 lbs and had a great chest workout. GF-AMA had me working my ass off in the gym again without a ton of caffeine. My endurance is the biggest thing that I have noticed has increased dramatically. I am able to knock out my second and third exercise without much drop off in weight.

My workout highlights for today

BB bench press supersetted with incline DB Press

135x10 and 90x10
225x10 and 100x10
225x10 and 120x8
225x9 and 120x8
225x8, finished last 2 reps after 15 sec break and 120x7
205x8 and 120x7
185x10 and 100x10

my 2nd superset was decline DB press and cable shoulder extensions

I was able to knock out my 5th set at 160x11 on the decline and the cables 12 reps at the 3rd plate. Before, I would have dropped off drastically in my 4th and 5th set.

My tricep exercises are a bit down and i am thinking of adding in an arm specific day before my off day, so I can really focus on my arms.

Day 21

Back at it like a crack addict

First day back lifting legs and I can say it was a ****ty day, but good to get back at it. My strength and energy was down today, but that is expected towards the end of a long week and when I haven't lifted legs in almost 2 weeks.

93 gms fat
262 gms protein
87 gms carbs
2390 cals

MY abs felt rock solid today and hopefully one or two more leg sessions and I will be back where I was. The biggest issue is always maintaining my back without pain and making sure my hamstrings don't tighten up.

My favorites are either grilled or rotisserie chicken, tuna, plain greek yogurt, and steak or pork. my all time favorite are slow cooked ribs, but i only am able to have them about once every week or two.

Back and chest day

Decided to hit back and chest all in one day as I have 2 days scheduled off after this due to time constraints. I did hit 225x11 on decline bench and I was doing shoulder supersets, which was a new personal best for me. my weight is still at 192.5 but my abs are feeling more solid than ever. I also have put some more mass on my legs since the beginning of the log.


I will be hitting back, biceps, and abs during my next session and cannot wait to hit the gym again.

Days 23 and 24 were off days. I am a day behind on this log, but I hit the shore for the final weekend of good weather and was unable to workout, but still took 1 cap of GF-AMA each day and kept the diet nice and clean. I did decide to join a new gym over the weekend and dump my old one due to membership issues, which has moved my workouts from late PM workouts to early AM workouts on an empty stomach.

I do too. I always had to do them for baseball in college and they have given me some energy to get through the day. Tue new gym has thrown my rhythm off a bit, but I feel it will be a benefit once I get a rhythm down.

Day 25

Had an awesome first day at the new gym as I had tons of energy and was ready to take on the world. I did not do supersets or bi/tri-sets because I was not used to the location of all the machines and pull up bars in relation to each other, but I think I am gonna like the new gym and my AM workouts.

Got a good back workout in with weighted pull ups etc. I do need to work on my forearm strength a little as my heave pull ups have suffered a bit over the past 6 months.

The scale showed me at 192 flat today which was great, but I am showing some fat on my pecs still in the lower area. I have definitely gotten more defined muscles and gained a little mass during this 4 week period so far. About 6-7 days left of GF-AMA and I cannot wait for my final results.

Today I had quite a revelation in the gym. I really wish I didn't drink so much damn beer in college and knew what good nutrition could do for me. I think back about killing a case of beer once or twice a week and eating crappy food everyday, I woulda been one shredded bastard if I didn't do that. Well I guess you live and you learn.

Days 26 and 27

Hit chest and back. Still getting used to the new layout at the gym but its much larger than my previous gym which is nice. Weight still at 192 lbs but I am loving my early morning empty stomach workouts.

7 days left at least. Haven't had any effects wear off on me, but it certainly has helped me cut down on pre-WO caffeine and stims.

Day 28 heavy legs and day 29 back and abs

Im gonna try to get back into higher weight lower rep leg workouts to build my strength back up since my back has been holding up well. I've always hated having small legs since I hurt my back and hopefully this will be the road back to tree trunk quads and rock hard glutes. My weight was 190.8 lbs on day 29, but my pecs are still holding some fat which always annoys me. My serratus muscles are becoming more visible however and the AMA is still working very well for me. I do wonder about the residual fat in my pecs if it is due to high estrogen levels possibly from a run of Dermacrine a year ago.

Day 30

My apogies for the brief log information I have added lately. The hurricane has knocked out power briefly and my internet has been dead for several days, so I am typing via my phone which is crap.

Back/biceps day

I realized today how tough heavy chin ups are on your forearns and grip strength. I will need to continue to do this to build my strength there and in my biceps.

Day 31
Chest and squats

Got a quick heavy squat and shoulder/chest workout in on the weekend before the storm began to hit us. Maxed out with 4 deep squats at 265. Not exactly heavy for most people but I was glad my back held up.
