Unsponsored Invictus Log

Hello fellow AM members! I know there are quite a few logs of Iron-Legion's Invictus but I wanted to do my own log to hold myself accountable and to contribute in some way to the forum that has helped me out so much. So here we go:

Current Stats:
5'10"
245 LBS
If I had to guess my body fat percentage, I would wager about 25%
I've been working out seriously for about 3 years, though I previously only cared about strength and managed to get quite fat. Haha

My goals for this cycle:
I hope to lose some weight while maintaining muscle and strength as best I can. I'll be eating between 1900 and 2100 calories daily depending on how snacky I get. Shooting for 200g protein, 200g carbs and 45g fat

Other supplements I'll be running: I have 4 days left of Ignit3 and Super Shr3d and I always take a multivitamin, fish oil, TUDCA, coq10, Hawthorne berry and garlic for general health reasons.

It's day two of my 1 bottle trial run of Invictus. My thoughts so far are just that this stuff smells pleasant and rubs in/dries more quickly and cleanly than I expected, which is a plus. The reason I picked Invictus is that I have struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for about as long as I have memories and nothing helped much until I tried 7 ketoDHEA which I cycle time on=time off and while on 7 Keto, my "bad days" are reduced to about 2 days a month or so and since I understand Invictus is essentially the beneficial metabolite of 7-Keto, I'm hoping the effect on my thoughts/mood will be even better. :) Wish my luck and thanks for coming along for the ride!
 
Awesome in on this.
 
Alright so day three. It's Valentine's day and my diet is so off the wall bad (I don't think my girlfriend would react well to a romantic dinner of protein powder and dextrose) that I'm just going to write it off as a loss. But other than that, I feel just fine, still likely too early to really "feel" much and tomorrow should be the first log that includes a workout :)
 
Day four:
Feeling good! Nailed my macros, workout was: 8-5-3-1-1 flat bench and incline bench 12x3 flys, pushdowns and hammer curls
5x5 concentration curls and 20 minutes of incline treadmill walking.
 
In for some invictus action!

Will also be interested to see if it offers benefit to your sense of well-being
 
Sorry there wasn't an update yesterday, a bunch of crazy stuff happened at work that I had to deal with and my log was the last thing on my mind. In any case, my workout yesterday was deadlift 5x5 pulldown 15x3 shrugs 15x3 and wrist curls 15x3. Today was the first day I noticed real changes though. It's odd actually, I'm up two pounds (I'm thinking just water/glycogen from simple sugars yesterday) but my strength is through the roof, I did the first listed workout again and I was able to add 15 pounds to my bench which was an awesome surprise. As an added bonus, though I've seen logs where people said it didn't happen, libido is crazy high today. Maybe a coincidence? We'll see if it stays high.
 
Alright so . . . This stuff works. Strength is up, libido has stayed high since the first day of kicked in, and my mood is for sure improved. The thing I really can't believe is how quickly I've gotten results! Less than a week in, and I'm practically a walking advertisement. Lol good lookin' out, Iron Legion!
 
3 weeks in on Invictus now and I'm loving it. I can eat what I want, and not gain a pound. The veins are sticking out much more pronounced these days, forearms and calves are much more veiny. I have a great "feel good" attitude on this stuff. (Sense of well being). Good to know you are liking this stuff, I hope you can beat those depressive thoughts, that sounds scary bud... All the best to you...
 
I love seeing the great feedback on Invictus!
 
Woot woot! So: today was squat day 5x5 squat and 3 sets of 15 calf raises. (I don't go that big on squat day out of fear of aggravating an old knee injury but I'm open to suggestions) i started out with applying the Invictus to my collarbone but after reading that the cedarwood oil could be less than ideal for ladies, I've been applying it to the tops of my feet and wearing socks to avoid incidental contact with my girlfriend. Still feeling great though, for the people who asked about my mood, it is absolutely improved, I wouldn't say it's more than regular 7-keto but there are other benefits that I don't get with 7-keto such as drastically improved strength and libido that give Invictus a clear edge.
 
Ughhh...this is inspiring me to get on another run of Invictus, and I am cutting right now.

Clenbuterol and Invictus for the win!

The cedar wood shouldn't be harmful for women, but it can have effects as an emmenagogue...this could be bad if she's pregnant, or may become pregnant. I know some women who use invictus...most of the competitors I know use it during prep.
 
Honestly I could see using it either way, I'm cutting now but strength is up, I'm sure if you ate a hefty surplus it could be great for a bulk too

Is this a muscle builder or fat burner.

It's a cortisol modulator. It's very effective in fat loss, while also working to save muscle mass. It's also great to keep fat gains minimized while bulking.

There are a myriad of other benefits: Reduced inflammation, improved libido, improved immune response, etc..

How long does one bottle last if you do the recommended dosage.
 
30 days.

It's a 30ml bottle and we recommend .5ml in the morning and .5ml in the early evening (not right before bed)...so a total of 1ml daily
 
So the past couple of days my hunger has been up, it may be because I never do cardio and have been adding it in, but so has my strength and I haven't gained any more weight so I'm still feeling great about Invictus though I may have shifted a bit into a recomp than a cut. Official weigh in number one coming tomorrow!

no, invictus does not impact appetite...although it may help thwart stress eating and cortisol induced sugar cravings.

Also, does not impact estrogen levels, so no changes to your current TRT protocol
 
What benefits? ?? I looked at it online but not a lot of info. Could be my fault but, yeah what benefits? ?

I'm not a doctor, so I can't necessarily say it won't, but I'm pretty positive that my increased appetite is due to my increased cardio. When I do a lot of cardio, my body always freaks out and demands calories.

You said this was underrated, what other products are underrated that are very good.

Dermacrine is one of the most tried and true products for your purpose

I do believe Invictus to be an extremely underrated product...I don't think people fully understand the concept of stress and how it impacts our lives. Invictus does a wonderful job helping to mitigate those impacts.

Some things that people often don't realize are extremely stressful on the body:
-working out/training
-dieting - especially when combined with training - forcing your body to do more with less
-cutting carbs
-stimulants
etc

in addition to the daily struggles of life...

To answer your question, you would have to be a bit more specific about what you're looking for.
