Have you lost weight? What have you experienced so far? Best thing so far?

I haven't weighed again yet but I feel like I look a bit leaner. Best thing so far well its more than one but I would say recovery and the focus and aggression in the gym
 
Today was my body/weak point day nothing too exciting did hit up some cardio for 30 min followed by farmers walk 75lb for 3 sets of 20 yards. The next couple days will be off since I will be moving and back and forth till Saturday but I will still be getting some cardio in and looking for a new gym.
 
people over look how important recovery is, nothing sucks more then DOMS!

Think of it this way though, you're weak points are the places where you can make the most progress, how exciting is that :)
 
Sorry haven't updated movers came yesterday and we drove back to new orleans today to finish cleaning the old house and will be headed to the new place for good tomorrow. Did get some late night run in wednesday night. And I will be heading to find a new gym monday first thing. Also started week 4 and also started form XT twice a day. Nothing to really report that's different with it. Can't wait to get back in the gym.
 
Ok so the past few days I have been knocking out outside cardio and bodyweight exercises. I have been alternating each day either 30 min jog or 15 hiit and then 4rds of pushups, jump squats and lunges. This is only till I find the new gym I have a couple more to look at. I found one I really like they had a separate room with turf down and the room has a bench, squat rack and platform away from everything else also in the room they had some tires and sleds and also a log press. Only bad things were the two squat racks out on the main floor and while I was taking the tour one guy was curling in it and the other guy was squatting but facing the wrong way so he could watch himself in the mirror.
 
Also I have forgot to bring up. I know I have said the kit has helped with recovery as far as doms and in between workout days but also helps during sprints and needing less time between each one.
 
Makes sense being on helps you to feel more energetic so that would translate to all activity

Yah I have days similar to this. Slower body parts generally get more volume and on these days for weak body parts I will do exercises I don't normally do. I like body weight exercises for these days as they have always been a weak point for me.
 
Yea on my body/weak point days I usually just hit up what I feel is behind. But I always hit my back some I have to say it is my favorite to train and I will also hit arms because I feel they are behind.
 
Also I meant to comment on the form xt. I still notice my aggression and libido is still up also taste wise it seems to have a big red chewing gum taste like cinnamon

Nice! Getting leaner is always a bonus especially if you gain muscle! Great job!
 
I prefer these types of gains and very rarely will use product for straight weight gain.
