Shrinking Tank with BLR Follidrone v2 and Exotherm

Day 46
Felt very good today. A very wonderful side of FD2 - I feel good while lifting. Over the years I've been slowly developing all kinds of cheats while lifting to supposedly protect myself as I got older. I realized today that for the last few weeks I've been getting rid of these bad habits and doing full rom, controlled and steady, and feeling good while doing it - and afterward. I'm thinking now, that unless advised otherwise by brundel no matter what I run next I'm still going to keep FD2 in the mix.

Weighed in at 243 even - unfreakinbelievable!
For about 3 days starting last friday I was completely off my eating - eating stuff I shouldn't even look at, just to make my visiting family comfortable - and I'm still down 6/10ths from last week!
So here's what I hope I learned:
Cheat meals NOT CHEAT DAYS. However, if I mess up, FD2 and Exo will help get me back on track.
I'm coming up on my last week of this 8 week run - and I do have previously made plans to run some other stuff - but if the gurus say it's ok, I'm keeping the FD2/Exo going along side.
Cheers
 
nice work Tank. Seems like the combo is treating you well :)
 
i would think you could run Exo for a total of 8 to 12 weeks and FD2 indefinitely :)
 
Day 50
Crazy packed gym today - nobody wanted to go out into the 100+ heat! - but I made it work. As long as I get my shoulder presses in, I'm a happy guy! ;)
Chest & Shoulders
Machine chest press - 70, 110, 150, 170, 190, 150x10each
PecDec - stack 5x12
Seated shoulder press - bar x25. 65x25. 95x25. 135x25. 165x15. 135x25
Hammer chest press - 100x15. 150x15. 120x20
Endless DB lateral raises

And that was enough. Felt good. Good pump.
Cheers
 
Day 51
So you ever pass by the park and see some turkeys working out? Well today I was one of those turkeys! On a whim we just took off from work and hit the park. I did stuff I hadn't done in a while - including sprint intervals and steps - and they actually have some nice bodyweight equipment. Nice basketball courts too. Spent at least 1.5 hours there working up a dripping sweat. Tomorrow back to the real world - SL Dedz!
Cheers
 
Day 52
Back day
Dunno what - these workouts just keep getting better....I feel more and more like I'm controlling the weights instead of constantly fighting them - know what I mean, right? If this keeps up, I'm gonna need a life time supply of of FD2 - no exaggeration.
SL Dedz - 135x15. 225x10. 315x15. 275x15. 225x20
Bent rows - 235x20. 235x15 with drop to 185x20
Hammer plate shrugs - 3pps x25. 4pps x20. 5pps x25. 3pps x20 - super slow and long pause on top.
Iso hammer rows - 2p x10. 3p x10. 3p x15
Assisted pull ups - 6x8. Funny thing, in the last 8 weeks my assist has dropped from a big stack to a tiny one. It's like I get to force myself to push my limits...
On the way out I picked up a 135 and did 3 sets of 20 of reverse grip bent rows. Just for fun.
Cheers

Repped out on cables for bis n tris.
Felt gooooood!
Cheers
 
Day 54
Final workout for this log
Squats n stuff
I did some interesting squat variations today, so I walked out with jelly legs....
Pause Squats - full 3 sec at the bottom -
135x5. 225x5x2. 225x10.
Sit n Pause squats - full 1 sec on low seat -
225x5x2. 225x10
Breathing Squats - old school - 225x20
I could have just gone home then...
Hack Squats - 3pps: x20. X25. X30
Repped out on a buncha calf stuff.
Was enough.
Cheers
 
Oh, btw, I weighed in this morning at 240lbs - That's 13lbs down in about 8 weeks! Most importantly - my strength has gone up, and I haven't been hungry on 8 weeks of cutting!
So in final review (for now) -
FD2 rocks! Combined with Exo - unbelievable!
I got to workout - was previously doing 4 days a week and upped it to 5 on this run because my recovery was on point - get stronger, eat well, and lose more than a lb a week - at the tail end of a 2.5 year "diet"!

The only con I found was that it took a day or 2 to get my carb timing and dosing right....but as I always say - if I could do it, it ain't rocket science!

Bottom line - solid supp that works beyond expectations. As usual - BLR did NOT disappoint!
 
Thanks for running the log bro. I know it takes time and effort to keep them up and running.
Glad the FD2 worked well for you. This log helps other members know how FD2 works in the real world.
Great job!

How did you experince the exotherm? Increased libido and muscle hardening effect?

That too. I was also using it for it's fat burning quality. I believe it was the combination of the 2 which kept my weight loss dialed in and my strength up.
 
This is Day 1 starting on 6 pumps a day of exotherm for me, see how it works at this high dose, i have been having burning and soreness in my right elbow which has made narrow grip benchpress and scull crushers next to impossible to perform so if joint soreness gets worse i will be forced to lower dosage. but want to see how the fat burning works with 6 pumps of exo , 2 am 2 pwo and 2 pre bed with 5 caps of ignit3 daily.

I never went that high - I didn't want to rock the boat as it was going well. Towards the end I actually tapered to 1pump twice a day.
