Alright so a special thanks to FORUMTECH and 06sixxer for Lean efx refined and natural efx that i received yesterday. Have been needing something to get rid of the stubborn fat i have in my abdomen and love handles. I can see my upper abs but not my lower abs. Other than that i just have a problem getting rid of my love handles as its the first place I store fat.

Background:
I'm 24 years old and have been working out for about 6 months now. Have been on and off for the past 3 years but finally got serious about it at the end of winter. Arms chest and back have been growning consistently and I have widened out my back and chest pretty nicely. I was skinny and short my whole life and could never gain muscle when I worked out.. but obviously realize that was due to not eating enough and eating right. Well i eat plenty now and sometimes too much! I'm 5'7 and 156-159 depending on how much i eat. Might not sound like a lot but I've been 130-140 my whole life skin and bones with no muscle so gaining this much weight mostly in muscle gives me a sense of great accomplishment. But i have a little leftover from a dirty bulk that I can't get rid of.

My problem is I don't do good with carbs. I gain weight VERY easily now from carbs, and if I'm working out consistently I can manage my weight but can't seem to loose fat. BBBBut i NEED carbs to workout. I cannot workout fasted nor can I have a decent workout without having carbs at some point before(usually breakfast and lunch). My solution to this was getting a nutrient repartitioner to make sure i get use of the carbs i have to eat to get my great workouts in.

Supps:
CL White flood reborn and powermax are my go to pwo's but I have WFR right now.
CL Orange Triad
Cissus
Joint Force (not a supp per se but i do use it for my wrist)
SNS Glycophase as a my nutrient repartitioner
and now the addition of!!...
Formutech Lean efx REFINED
Formutech Natural efx

I'm excited to add these to my arsenal. The only other thermogetic/fat burner I have used was alphamine which did pretty good. Kept my weight down when I wasn't concentrating on what I was eating.

I workout 2-3 days a weeks usually Monday, Wednesday/Thursday, and Saturday. I don't have a lot of time to work out so I usually do chest and back for a push/pull day on monday; shoulders, arms, and abs on wed or thurs, and use saturday to work on my lagging body parts/legs/abs. I end each of my workouts with 4-10 sets of balls to the walls sprints that last around 30 seconds each and keep cardio short instead of increasing duration and decreasing intensity. I feel that this is the best way to get cardio in and get that fat burning. IMO sprinting is better for fat burning and muscle growth compared to walking/jogging.

That should be everything.. i believe.. i'm open to all suggestions and comments constructive or not. I appreciate Formutech and 06sixxer and all future followers. I have a goal in mind and I will give an honest interpretation of the products and their benefits or lack thereof. thanks again.

So I took two lean efx refined in the morning yesterday and 2 natural efx midday and dinner time..

I decided that im going to take one lean efx in the am and then one more late morning to noon and dose the natural efx noon and dinner time. Found that 2 lean efx at the same time got me too wound up..ill prob dose 2 at the same time later on.

I dose my glycophase and cissus with lunch and dinner usually..

I dose my wfr at around 4 when I get home from work, change and hit the gym.

I like starting my chest day with incline db press better then any exercise. For me my pumps are better white those programs.
Every now and then it feels good to get a light routine in with good focus on the muscle rather then weight. I do drop sets for that reason.

Kill it bro.

Nicce glad to have u drew
Thanks pal! I have always enjoyed your logs bro. Shame I didn't catch this from the start. Looks like you are doing it right. Don't let the supps work for you, MAKE the supps work WITH you, and you are going to get shredded. DO WORK!
