Spontaneous COMBUSTION and feeling the LIPOBURN

Workout: Just one Combustion before the workout today. My current pre-workout (Flashover by Omega) has 1,3 in it so I don't really want a massive dose of that. I do have some Assault left which doesn't have any 1,3 in it. I may double dose Combustion and hit that before tomorrow for some real fun :)


A1: Mid thigh rack pulls (high rep)- 135*20, 155*15, 155*15 155*20

A2: One arm corner BB rows- 60*10 (each arm) for 4 sets

Rest 1 minute between A1 and A2.

B1: Kneeling pulldown- 70*10 for 3 sets.

B2: "Arc" incline DB rows- 10 lb. DB*15 for 3 sets.

No rest between B1 and B2. Rest 90 seconds after B2.

C1: Decline DB press- 35*10 for 3 sets
C2: "Half" DB Flyes- 25*10, 20*10, 20*10

No rest between C1 and C2. Rest 90 seconds after C2.

D: Slide pushups- 3 sets of 5 reps.

E: Shoulder shocker (stole this from a Joe Defranco article, killer stuff)

E1: 25 lb plate front raises- 25*12, 25*12, 25*10
E2: 10 lb. side lateral raises- 10*12, 10*10, 10*8
E3: 10 lb. shrug, external rotation, half press- 10*12, 10*10, 10*8

One arm BB rows are awesome. I like to use 25lb plats to increase the ROM. That shoulder shocker sounds mean - I'm sure 10lb feels like a mountain by the end!

It's pretty tough. I was using 25 pounds plates as well. I also "dead stop" them so starting every rep from the bottom position. Just seems to feel better. I'm coming off a long layoff due to a few injuries and illnesses so I've been taking it pretty easy with the weight so far and focusing on good form. After this I'm going to get nasty and try to get a lot of strength back.

Honestly that shoulder shocker is freaking disgusting. It kills me. Now you have to try it and stir the pot. My core is still really sore today!

Two combustion this morning and walk/jogged 2 miles. Core work and sprints later today.

You're right, I'll have to figure out where to squeeze those movements in. Tomorrow's a Vertical-focused pressing day; the shoulder shocker would fit in perfectly as a finisher/accessory. Stir the pot may have to wait to deadlift day, next Monday...
 
Let me know how they go. I'm getting ready to order another bottle of Combustion soon. This stuff rocks.
 
Sprints: Walk/jog warmup 800 meters. I also go through a battery of "pre-sprint" things like butt kicks, high knees, etc. Then I did 80 meters twice at 80%, 50 meters twice at 90%, and 30 meters twice at 100%. Finished up with some core work. Shin splints are killing me right now and I'm going to have to do some things different. I jump roped a while back on a hard surface (like a moron) for a LONG time and I'm pretty sure that caused it.

Took two Combustion before the sprints. Have I mentioned how much I love Combustion yet? Well I love it. Seriously, it's a great product. I'm excited for stuff to come for BPS. They have been very generous with the Combustion logs and from what I've seen people are enjoying it. I've got other stuff to get to supplement wise, but I'm coming back to Combustion guaranteed. I'm already going to purchase another bottle.

Put on the nighttime Lipoburn and all is going great :)
 
Workout: Early morning workout for me today. Two Combustion (duh) to start off with. Good strong feeling still. Maybe noticing a slight acclimation effect, but still just a good clean energy.

A1: Close grip bench press- 155*5, 155*5, 160*6, 160*4, 155*6
A2: Standing Barbell Curl (wrists inside hands, elbows out): 75*5, 75*5, 85*5, 75*5, 75*5

Do A1, rest 45 seconds, A2 rest 45 seconds, repeat for all sets.

B: Close grip bench press rack lockouts- 185*6, 185*6, 195*6
Rest 90 seconds between sets.

C1: Barbell Concentration Curl- 55*10, 55*10, 55*10
C2: Vertical Dumbell Static holds (arms at 90)- 45 lb. DB*30 seconds, 45 lb. DB*30 seconds, 30 lb. DB*45 seconds.

C1 then C2 immediately following. Rest 90 seconds between sets.

Shower, first application of Lipoburn.

Awesome. What weight did you end up using? Blame Joe Defranco, not me. That just kicks your ass though huh?

Off day (and taking in a baseball game) but I did go for a 45 minute treadmill walk in the hotel this morning.
 
Workout:


A1: Close grip bench press (elbows flared out 45 degrees)- 145 *7, 155*7, 155*6, 145*8

Two Combustion and getting ready for football camp. I'm really excited for these pictures at the end of me. I think they will show some pretty good progress!
 
So it's about 98 degrees outside and nasty humidity so I figured it would be a good day to run some sprints at 3 p.m.

Warmup: Walk one lap. Jog one lap. Then I go through some calisthenics like high knees, butt kicks, etc.

Workout: 50 meters at 60% (rest 1.5 minutes walk recovery)
50 meters at 70% (rest 1.5 minutes walk recovery)

Work sets- 100 meters at 80%
(rest approximately 3.5 minutes walk recovery)
Do a total of 5 times.

Finished with a one mile cooldown walk. When I got home I did some core work, mainly weighted crunches on the exercise ball and bicycle crunches.

Popped two Combustion before this and just feeling great overall. Other than the fact that it was really hot, but this is what separates us from the average people right?

It's quite tough, but nice. I mean you can basically kill your shoulders in under ten minutes.

Good for you man. I do NOT cope well in the heat. Our car broke down, so I ended up walking to work earlier this week and got heat stroke on the walk home. That's what happens when you move from Southern California to Texas!
 
An off day today, but took a Combustion before football camp. Also went for a 2.25 mile walk on the track just now.
 
Same thing as yesterday, haven't gone for the walk yet. Had just one Combustion today before football and will probably have one later before a walk/core work. Taking some rest time for a few days before starting a new program. I was going to stay on the one I'm on a little longer, but I'm sorta bored with it/excited to get started on the new one.

Here it is for those interested:

Updates: I'm close to being done with the bottle of Lipoburn and pretty close to being done with Combustion. I probably have a week of both left. I plan on taking the "after" type pictures soon (probably within 10 days). So far I've been very pleased with both products. This isn't my final review, but I HIGHLY recommend Combustion especially. It's cheap and it works. And I've already got a second bottle.
 
Almost forgot to put this in: Went for a 3 mile walk/jog this morning after taking a Combustion. Back to hitting the weights tomorrow!
 
Started my new program today. For those that didn't look at the link it's an 8 week strength program. I'm coming off a pretty long layoff due to some injuries and I haven't really focused on gaining strength in a while. I don't know what my 1 rep maxes are as I haven't maxed in a while (and I lift alone so it can be somewhat difficult). That said the "estimates" I used for this program are 200 lb. bench, 235 pound squat, and 235 pound deadlift. That's probably 10-20 pounds light, but it will work.

A1: Bench@60% for 5 sets, 75% for one set: 120*8 for 5 sets. 155*3 for 1 set.

A2: Pullups: BW*5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3.

Rest one minute between A1 and A2 for all sets.

B1: Incline Press- 115*8, 105*8 for 4 sets.

B2: 45 degree bent over row (supinated): 75*8 for 3 sets.

Rest one minute between B1 and B2 for all sets.

C1: Board Press- 155*5 for 5 sets.

C2: Dead stop DB row- 35*12 (each arm) for 3 sets.

Rest one minute between C1 and C2.

Finished up with one set of tabata jump ropes. Abs and sprints tomorrow. Hit two combustion before the workout. Felt great the whole way.
 
Definitely sore today, that's a lot of volume. I'm sure I will be pretty sore tomorrow as well.

Took two Combustion this morning. Felt great. It's in the 100's here so I figured it would be a great time to head to the track for some sprints.

Jog/walk warmup (two laps).
Calisthentic warmup (high knees, butt kicks, carioca, etc.)

1 80 meter sprint @ 80%
2 50 meter sprints @ 90%
3 30 meter sprints @ 100%

Didn't hit core as I need to get ready for a thing with my girlfriend. Tomorrow is a day off so I'll hit it tomorrow.
 
Took two combustion before a two mile morning walk. Getting ready to go for a short swim.

This will be the last week of this log as I should finish both products up in about 7-8 days. During this time I will get some "after" type pictures done and post the before type pictures for comparison. Pictures should be very close to one month apart.
 
The after pics "should" be good. Today was going to be an off day, but I can't lift tomorrow it turns out so I did today instead.

A: Squat 5*8 @60%, 1 set of 3@75%: 145*8 for 5 sets. 185*4 for 1 set.

B: Deadlift 3*8@65%: 155*8 for 2 sets.

C: Leg Press: 250 extra weight*12 for 3 sets.

D: Goblet Squat: 50 lb. DB*8 for 5 sets.

E: Hamstring curl: 70*8 for 3 sets.

My legs should be nice and sore for a few days!
 
Interesting workout plan. I may use some of it. I've been looking for something different. Looking forward to your final pics/review!!

It's a lot of volume (especially at the beginning), but as you can see it really tapers off in the second month of the program. I also am not following it 100% to a T as I'm supersetting some things just to save time. I've never been big on long rest periods anyways. But I'm not supersetting as in back to back exercises more taking a minute between different exercises so I have two minutes before the same one.
 
That's the best way to superset for strength, IMO. If you go directly from one to the other without rest, the second movement always suffers. But I've hit a reasonable number of PRs going back and forth between two movements with a rest in between the two.
 
Yeah, I'm pretty annoying with my rest periods. I can't remember the last time I was in the gym and didn't have a stopwatch. Even things like a minute and 30 seconds go by so fast. By the time you towel off and get a drink you should be back under the bar. I'm convinced the vast majority of people exercising rest way too long between sets.
 
It depends on my goals, but for the most part I agree. I try to keep things quick and moving, more because I like being able to cram more volume into my sessions. But if I'm going to attempt a PR squat or DL, you better believe I'll be resting for a while between sets. :p

Well yeah, but going for a PR is a much different beast than regular training. Speaking of which, I'm off to do just that! I'll report back here. And also I think I'm going to get my pics done Saturday so I should have them up soon as this log gets ready to come towards a close. It's been fun!
 
Two combustion before the workout today. Almost out of Combustion and almost out of Lipoburn. Few more days at most of each. Great overall workout today. Liking this program so far!

A1: Military Press- 70*8, 70*8, 70*8, 65*8, 68*8
A2: Power Lateral Raise- 20*12 for 2 sets.
A3: Power Rear Deltoid Raise- 15*12 for 2 sets.

1 minute rest between exercises.

Note: I didn't do these exactly as written. I did a set of military press, then a set of power lateral raise, then back to military, then finished power lateral raise. Then did the same protocol for the two sets of power rear deltoid raises.

B1: Close grip bench press- 135*8, 135*8, 135*8, 115*8, 115*8
B2: Pullover Skullcrushers- EZ+30*12, EZ+30*10, EZ+30*8

C1: V-grip pushdowns: 20*12 for 3 sets (I probably will substitute something for these moving forward. I lift in our high school's weight room and this thing is so broken it's not even funny. It's an awkward movement because the machine is old and gets hung up. It's actually probably dangerous using this :))
C2: EZ Biceps Curls: EZ+40*10, EZ+40*8, EZ+40*6

D: Tim's Curls (supinated curls, rest 30 seconds, hammer curls, rest 30 seconds, etc.): 30*8 for supinated, 25*8 for hammer. 30*8 for supinated, 25*8 for hammer. 25*8 for supinated, 20*8 for hammer.
 
The final review is up for both products as I am now out of product. I have a few weeks until my next logging opportunity so hopefully I will get some pictures snapped here and put them up. The review is on the first page on the second post. Thanks for following along people!

Lipoburn: As mentioned some of my favorite parts of applying Lipoburn is it's LACK of side effects. Unlike numerous other topicals I've used Lipoburn doesn't burn, doesn't stink, doesn't leave a long lasting residue, and is one of the few topicals I don't need to wash off before seeing my fiance. A bottle of Lipoburn is pretty long lasting as well depending on how many body parts you use it on. I did not experience greater sweating in the areas of application, but I know many other people who ran it did. I think Lipoburn was effective in reducing bodyfat from the areas I applied it, especially on my chest. Topicals aren't for everyone and obviously they are not magic either. I did enjoy my run of Lipoburn and while it did not unseat my favorite topical (Eviscerate is still the champ) it is an excellent option. You can look at other users logs on here when making the decision about Lipoburn.

I never experience sweating at application areas with LipoBURN, but agree with most else mentioned here. Thanks for keeping your log and giving a Final Review :)

~Rosie~
 
I didn't either, but I noticed a lot of other users did. I think Southpaw and holmes both mention it frequently in there logs.

Final Review: I would like to again extend a big thanks to BPS for the Combustion and LG Sciences for the Lipoburn. Thanks for the opportunity!

Combustion: It should be pretty apparent that I have a lot of positive things to say about Combustion. Right off the bat Combustion is probably in a tie for my favorite fat burner with H.E.A.T. stack. It easily eclipses the others I mentioned and I realize I left some out of that initial list including Sesamin and Dialene 4. Combustion provides a clean stimulant effect without the crash and without getting me "too high." I never felt anxious or irritable on Combustion, but I knew when I popped two caps of Combustion I was about to perk up with some energy. I also think it provides a great thermo effect. I can't recommend Combustion enough. It's a great product, it's cheap, and you will not be disappointed. BPS was kind enough to give plenty of users the opportunity to run Combustion and it's probably because they knew they had a winner. While other products may provide more of a stim effect than Combustion, for me those often come with a crash or a quick tolerance build up. I didn't see this with Combustion ever. I've already got another bottle and I can see myself ordering more and more of this in the future.

Lipoburn: As mentioned some of my favorite parts of applying Lipoburn is it's LACK of side effects. Unlike numerous other topicals I've used Lipoburn doesn't burn, doesn't stink, doesn't leave a long lasting residue, and is one of the few topicals I don't need to wash off before seeing my fiance.

Thanks for the great review man. You kept a great log and displayed a reputable level of knowledge in your training - having feedback from trainees who really know what they're doing is always a bonus for us. :)

And I have to add that I agree on all fronts. Both Combustion and Lipoburn are real winners!
 
Appreciate the kind words. Honestly if a company is going to be cool enough to give you a free product the least you can do is give them solid and honest feedback. This helps them and the community on here.

As for the training knowledge I've just been in the game a while and coming back from a long layoff due to injury. The basic ideas never really change and I have a minor in Kinesiology so I've always enjoyed it.
