Unsponsored and unbiased FD 2.0 Log

[hiimnotcool]

I've been posting in a thread about FD 2.0 and it made me want to log it by itself with no other supplements (besides OL Tr1umph as my staples) to get an idea of how well it works. I'll be running it for 8 weeks in a caloric surplus (tracking calories, 300-500 above maintenance, I have a fitbit Charge 2 so have a good idea on how many calories I burn).

Starting stats:
Height-6'0
Weight 164,
Body fat is 8% according to the handheld device at the gym. Don't care how accurate it is, just gonna stay consistent and use it as a gauge.
I'll use that and measurements as a guide.

Measurements
Waist @ Navel-29.5
Arms flexed-15inch
Upper Thigh-22 inch
Neck 15.5 Inch

I'll get some pictures up soon.

Training is RPT Style. Here's the exact routine that I'll be using for this log.

Hehe ty men

My bench numbers suck too so just throwing that out here before my next push day. If I can make progress on that then I'll know this stuff is working. I never seem to bench a lot no matter what my body weight. My max at 225 was 230, my max at 165 was 180 x 8, got down to 153 and got weaker (175 x 5)..been reverse dieting since july 25th and back up to 164 and my bench is still weak lmao. I dun goof'd somewhere.

 

[Driven2lift]

Weight loss to that extent can wreak havoc on lifts, you'll bounce back brother

 

[hiimnotcool]

Lol, well fuk it. Drank beer for the first time in a while. Not a single calorie was counted after I began. Will take the other cap of FD 2.0 soon. This isn't going to be a common occurrence that's for sure. More random than anything.

 

[Studhorse]

I'm in for the FD2 ride. Loved this stuff solo.

 

[hiimnotcool]

Damn this stuff works quick. Up to 168 this morning. Jk, it's from the beer and binging on a burger, fries, kalbi ribs and rice. Hnnghhhhh

I only slept for a few hours last night so todays workout probably won't be that amazing. I'll be cutting out the beer from now on (not really big on drinking for the most part anyway) and tracking everything more strictly. I forgot how ****ty I feel the next day after a big drinking session. Definitely not worth it lol.

Took 1 capsule with some coffee. Will take another before my workout and update after I lift. Lol, guys, help me remain strong and not add other supps to this. 2 bottles of Or1Gin and 2 bottles of Test1fy are being delivered today. Man that would be an awesome all out bulking stack with FD 2.0!! Brb gain 15 pounds in 8 weeks.

 

[LeanEngineer]

I still need to order another bottle of FD 2.0. I used one bottle but want to get two and do a back to back run.

 

[The_Old_Guy]

Do you have a previous, non-supplemented, 500 calorie surplus bulk that we can compare to? 500kcals alone will have you growing, and 900+mg of Phosphatidic Acid from Triumph, is 150mg+ more, than the research study that showed lean mass and strength gains. Be sure to have someone else do the tape measure 3 times, and then average. There's a tendency to go too loose around arms and legs, and too tight on abdomen when self-measuring. A self-tensioning one like the "Orbi-Tape" is good (though it reads one inch less than a regular cloth tape) They actually have Digital Tape Measures now - I'm getting one soon. BIA measurement is highly water dependent - make sure to be in the exact same hydration state each time, at the exact'ish time of day. Just some Nits picked, looking forward to reading.

 

[210LBS]

I may have missed it but what is your height? You've definitely plateaued at that bench press weight for a while. 180lbs X 8 = 225 max rep. I've had the same problem before too. I use a very simple training technique to break plataues and get my weights up. I can't guarantee it'll work and you may already be doing it but if you're interested PM me.

Lol I was wondering how tall too. I'm assuming about 5'8.

Yes, I've been using a 300-500 caloric surplus since the end of July. I was around 155 at that time so I've gained 9 pounds in 2.5 months. The first week I obviously gained like 5 pounds just from increased glycogen and extra food in the gut. Since then i've gained around 4 pounds in 9 weeks so that's a good clip and what I'm hoping for.

I hear you on the measurements. I don't go tight on my waist to get a better reading lol, I did that before years ago and it isn't really helpful. I'd rather see the real numbers and forget about the ego. Yeah the BIA thing is dumb but better than nothing. I typically go to the gym around the same time every day and I train in the same state daily. Just Tr1umph before the workout. I'll keep things as constant as possible. I figure that measurements are a better guide anyway, using that device is just kind of fun but I don't take it too seriously.

 

[hiimnotcool]

I'm 6'0 lol

 

[The_Old_Guy]

Yes, I've been using a 300-500 caloric surplus since the end of July....

Are you are using 11-KT as well? Just skimmed the King's Blood thread.

 

[hiimnotcool]

Did I just read that you are using 11-KT as well?

I was, bottle finally ended yesterday lol.

 

[hiimnotcool]

Alrighty, just finished my 2nd workout. Obviously nothing to note yet. Did have an upset stomach and needed to go to the bathroom after both doses today. No biggie.

Projected to burn 3,073 calories for the day. Calories eaten will be 3,467.

186 protein, 423 carbs, 97 fat.

Tomorrow should be a good bench press day. Hoping for 180 or 185 for 3-5 reps. Haven't tried that much in a while.

 

[Driven2lift]

Candy is always an easy/quick fix lol

Jelly your TDEE is 3k at your stats!

Haha, some days it's 2300. On days I lift and walk around a lot it gets up pretty high though. It's nice having a Fitbit with the heart rate monitor. It's probably not 100% accurate but I'd bet it's pretty dang close. Cutting and bulking has never been easier lol. Takes all of the guesswork out of the equation.

 

[hiimnotcool]

Didn't lift yesterday. Felt kind of nauseous all day which sucked. Burned 2389 calories and ate 2645.

Todays weight 165.0.

Still not much to note. Although yesterday I did feel a tightness and pump in my muscles most of the day without even lifting. Sort of reminded me of the way a PH has you feeling strong and thick all the time. Arms and shoulders had a bit of vascularity too. Only my 4th day and plan on hitting some heavy OHP then a couple of other push workouts. I'll update this long when I complete it.

 

[hiimnotcool]

Decent workout. Little over 300 calories burned. 40 minutes.

165.0, 7.9% body fat

OHP
Bar x 3
65 x 3
95 x 1
125 x 4 (goal 3-5, stay there)

DB Incline
70 x 6 (goal 4-6)
65 x 8 (goal 6-8)
60 x 8 (goal 8-10)

Inline DB Fly, 30 seconds between sets
20 x 12, 10, 8, 6, 6, 6

DB Incline Skullcrushers
30 x 6 (goal 4-6, kind of hard, not the best form, drop weight next week to 27.5)
27.5 x 7 (goal 6-8, drop weight to 25)
22.5 x 9 (goal 8-10, stay there)

Rope Tricep Pushdown, 30 second rest between sets
60 x 12, 10, 8, 6, 6, 6

Did a few sets of cable laterals between sets too but didn't track weight or reps.


Had a great pump but I'm thinking that was the Conqu3r Unleashed sample I got with the FD 2.0. Needless to say I bought a tub along with another tub of Tr1umph today so that plus 2 caps of FD 2.0 will be my preworkout from now on.

Snapped a ninja pic of myself. Didn't want to stand there flexing in the mirror so just took one as fast as I could. I might say fuk it and just take the best pics I can when I'm pumped. Shouldn't care what the other people think after all.

 

[hiimnotcool]

164.8 this morning..took my follidrone 2.0 and 200mg caffeine pill and hit the gym

Seated DB Lateral/DB Shrug Superset. No rest between sets
20 lb for laterals/80 pounds for db shrugs
12,10,8,6,6

All done. 40 minute workout, little over 300 calories burned once again. Squats and deadlifts felt pretty easy, especially the squats. Didn't feel any fatigue and the weight felt lighter than usual. Dunno if FD 2.0 is kicking in yet or not but will continue to monitor as the days and weeks pass.

 

[hiimnotcool]

164.8 again this morning even though I had around 4,000 calories yesterday. Feels good man. Was going to skip the gym because my upper back and traps were super sore from yesterdays deadlifts and shrugs but I ended up just going and doing a small back workout. I think this stuff is giving me a good pump. I saw this guy and was like "damn he's pretty big" in my head....went about my workout and he eventually came over to the cable station and when I looked in the mirror I could see both of us and my arms looked bigger than his. Was thinking "wtf?". That ever happened to any of you guys??

30 minute workout, 250 calories burned

Pendlay Rows, re-setting each rep, wide grip pulled to chest
95 x 3, 115 x 3, 135 x 3
145 x 3 (goal 1-3)
125 x 5 (goal 3-5)
115 x 6 (goal 4-6)
95 x 8 (goal 6-8)

All pretty easy. Will go up in weight next week.

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown (30 seconds rest betweens sets, slow and controlled to chest)
90 x 12,10,8,6,6,6

Face Pulls
70 x 12, 12, 12

22.5 x 12

Curved Bar Cable Curl, 30 second between sets, slow and controlled, squeeze
60 x 12,10,8,6,6,6

 

[hiimnotcool]

Didn't weigh myself this morning. Well, I did but I had shoes and clothes on and was 168. Figuring probably around the same weight as usual.

Caffeine tab and 2 follidrone caps then off to the gym I went.

Bench Press
95 x 3, 145 x 3, 165 x 1
185 x 3 (goal 1-3)
165 x 5 (goal 3-5, too easy)
165 x 6 (goal 4-6, still pretty easy)
155 x 8 (goal 6-8, easy)
145 x 15 burn out

Felt good. First time I've benched over 170 in quite a long time. I had my jaw broken in early June and was wired shut for 6 weeks which is when I dropped down into the low 150's. I was like 168 in early June and by July 25th when I got the wires off I was 153. Obviously I was on a liquid diet that entire time. I kept lifting but got weaker lol. Things are coming back slowly but still not even at the pre-injury body weight lol. Hey, at least I got leaner.

DB Shoulder Press (was so fatigued from the stupid burnout set of 145 but I did because my friend wanted to)
55 x 6 (goal 4-6)
50 x 8 (goal 6-8)
45 x 10 (goal 8-10)

Cable Chest flyes, 4 sets of 12,10,8,6

Machine Tricep Extensions
80 x 6 (goal 4-6)
75 x 8 (goal 6-8)
70 x 10 (goal 8-10)

Single arm tricep pushdown. Overhand/Underhand
10 x 12,10,8,6,6,6

All done. Nothing day of good pumps. This week is pretty much just to get an idea of where I'm at. Next week I should see the effects of any strength increases or rate of perceived exertion during the sets. I'm stoked!

 

[hiimnotcool]

166 this morning. Body fat thing said 8.6%. Waist measurement still 29.5. Had a really good workout, went up in weight from last week by quite a bit.

55 minutes in the gym, little over 400 calories burned.

Deadlifts
135 x 3
225 x 1
275 x 1
325 x 1

345 x 3 (goal 1-3)
315 x 5 (goal 3-5)
295 x 6 (goal 4-6)

All done.

 

[GQdaLEGEND]

In just browsed through the posts .. good luck man

so if you ever wanted to gain weight .. all you gotta do is drink beer & chow down on burgers lol

def interested in Ecklonia Cava .. i like Epicatechin have used cel epi-plex couple of times with good results .. interested in this.

 

[Kaprice]

Those massive arms and that skinny waist do NOT look like they belong on the same body. Props, man!

 

[hiimnotcool]

Thanks guys! Body weight up to 168.4 this morning. Definitely feeling a bit more pumped throughout the day. Hunger is up. Only been on it for a week though so figure that this upcoming week should be a bit more telling in its effectiveness with regards to lifting. I'm taking a day off today because I've gotta help a buddy move his entire house into a storage unit. I suppose that is lifting in a sense haha. Maybe I'll pop 2 follidrone capsules before I help to see how my endurance holds up

lol, Kaprice, thanks for the words! But my arms aren't that big, it's all about the angles! I'll take some more pictures next week once I hit the 2 week mark. Then I'll keep posting more every 2 weeks from there on out. After this log for 8 weeks I'm jumping on Or1gin and Test1fy for another 8 weeks so I might log those too. It's kind of fun to post about the experience and have people reading a long. Since i'm using things that are supposed to be Anabolic I'm looking to gain around 1 pound per week. By March I should be around 185-190 then I'll cut back down to around 170 for Summer so will have to think of another stack for that. If this log goes well I'll probably add some FD 2.0, Alphamax XT and something else for that!

Have a good day brahs!

 

[GQdaLEGEND]

ara (xgels) + epi makes a nice stack .. ive done it couple times with good results.

Alphamax is a legit product .. i cant take it due to fors.

 

[Rand0m]

Subbed. I'm going to be running FD2 solo for 8 weeks in a month or so. I ran FD2 for a month in a deficit but opted to save the other 2 bottles for a bulk. Our stats are pretty close except I'm a shorter than you and a bit higher BF (+1" waist). My routine is even very similar to yours (PPL with RPT on main compounds). I don't use tr1umph but will probably be using soy lecithin throughout. Looking forward to your progress. Please don't add or1gin or test1fy to this stack. I'd like to see how it does solo (and the OL products later on as well).

thanks for subbing. i'll be interested to see your results too. don't worry, i won't be adding those to this. just gonna run it as planned. saves money that way too haha.

anyways, i helped someone move for 3 hours yesterday and now i have a weird nagging feeling in my wrist. i also burned a ton of calories yesterday, like 3600 or so and only ate 3,000 so was in a deficit. not sure how much that will effect my lifts today. i have some weighted chins and back stuff in store. gahhhh, time to take 2 capsules of FD 2.0 and some Tr1umph then get on my way to the gym.

see ya at the next update!

 

[hiimnotcool]

Or not. Lol, drove to the gym (about 15 mintues each way) and it was closed!!!

Oh well. Saw a homeless guy sleeping behind a big wall underneath an abandoned store awning. Suddenly felt an urge to turn around. I parked, got out of the car and put 20 dollars beside his head (he was completely covered an oblivious to it all). Should make for a nice thing to wake up to, at least temporarily. It's not much but sometimes it's the little things in life that can inspire a bit of hope inside of us. If it can give that man (or woman for all I know) a bit of a brighter day and possibly something to eat (or maybe drink lol, who am i to judge what they use it on? it is of no consequence to me) then it was good. ah, the anonymous giver! maybe that will be my new shtick. Lending money to those unbeknownst.

Side effect of FD 2.0= Not only physical gains but spiritual gains as well. Das it men.

Thanks bro! What strange synchronicity that the quote from your Dad in your signature has on today's events.

Hit the gym hard today if you can! We're all gonna make it.

Or not. Lol, drove to the gym (about 15 mintues each way) and it was closed!!!

Oh well. Saw a homeless guy sleeping behind a big wall underneath an abandoned store awning. Suddenly felt an urge to turn around. I parked, got out of the car and put 20 dollars beside his head (he was completely covered an oblivious to it all). Should make for a nice thing to wake up to, at least temporarily. It's not much but sometimes it's the little things in life that can inspire a bit of hope inside of us. If it can give that man (or woman for all I know) a bit of a brighter day and possibly something to eat (or maybe drink lol, who am i to judge what they use it on? it is of no consequence to me) then it was good. ah, the anonymous giver! maybe that will be my new shtick. Lending money to those unbeknownst.

Side effect of FD 2.0= Not only physical gains but spiritual gains as well. Das it men.

That's awesome bro .. good deed a day

Surprised the gym was closed all of a sudden

I'm in Seattle and today is supposed to be the "storm of the century" lol. Everyone here is freaking out. Before I went to the gym I thought of calling to check if they were open knowing how much of an over reaction is occurring right now. I just figured it would be open since it was raining but nothing major (somewhat typical October weather for this region). I lived in interior Alaska for a few years while in the Army so it's funny to see people freaking out about wind and rain. In Alaska things don't shut down at -40 degree Fahrenheit and because snow is falling. It's just business as usual.

No biggie. I'll just take today and tomorrow off and hit the weights again Monday.

+ 1 Good for your Karma plus they say you give you get.

props to you for generosity.

On my last Holiday a couple of years back i was shocked at homelessness in CA, Los Angeles, Venice Area. Especially the street behind Golds in Venice where there was a community of homeless in view behind the outside area, so the last day of my trip i left any spare protein myofusion, sealed bottled water and protein foods bars and general food as well as 20-30 dollars in change at the area.

Subbed as I'm about to start my FD2 run.... looking fwd to your progress man. Has your stomach discomfort subsided? Do you think it was caused by the FD?

Yeah I haven't had any issues besides the first day or two. Probably just a coincidence or maybe it shocked my body a bit but everything is all good now.

I had the runs the first 3 days. No stomach pain. Went away but was crapping more than usual.
