BLR Lean Muscle Stack Review
I was lucky enough to get chosen to log the Lean Muscle Stack, including EXOTHERM, and FOLLIDRONE V2 and this is my review of the products. Unfortunately with the COVID-19 a lot of the 2nd month of the stack was unfruitful but not due to issues with the stack. With the gyms closing and the stay at home orders here in Houston for a while now I was not able to do my cardio, and then life got in the way with COVID related health issues in my family and I just fell of the rails. So my review is only going to cover the first month of use of the stack and what I was able to achieve during that time.
Some general comments on both products then we will get into results.
FOLLIDRONE - I have to admit that I was pretty surprised with the nutrient partitioning ability of FOLLIDRONE. I know that is not it's claim to fame but it was the most noticeable part of using it at first. I found I was unable to train in the AM unfed while using it because my blood sugar would crash and i would get that weak hypo feeling. it was strong enough that I chose stop fasting and incorporate some intraworkout nutrition. Also Pumps were noticeable better even with no carbs, and or lower volume lifting. I also noticed that I was able to go a little deeper into sets, eeking out a couple extra reps on my high effort sets. I only got DOMs on a couple of occasions while training pretty intensely which was nice.
EXOTHERM - This product was a little harder to tell what it was doing in the background since no stimulants or in your face results. I will say that it is a very pleasant TD formula, no bad odors, completely dry and soaked in in less than 5 minutes. I have sensitive skin due to eczema and had Zero issues with skin rashes or irritation which was awesome. Another thing of note was that I could feel a warm feeling take over shortly after application. So it was indeed increasing body temp and therefore increasing BMR to a decent degree. Pretty impressive without any stimulants.
Estrogen Management - Also I was using 50mg of formadrol a day for estrogen management for my TRT before starting this product and stopped to see how much the product was able to manage estrogen sides. In all honesty I did not notice any differences from formadrol in that regard it did as well as formadrol, and maybe even slightly better. Considering I was also losing lower pectoral fat at the time so it was hard to tell if the improvement was fat loss or estrogen management related. To me that is a HUGE plus for the product even if the improvement was due to fat loss the fact it matched 50mgs of formadrol for me was impressive. I would recommend anyone running an AI to lower or stop that dose for a bit when starting this to make sure you don't accidentally crash estro with multiple estro lowering products.
Okay so now on to the results. I started this log at 220.1 lbs, and my last weigh in before everything went off the rails was 207.6 at the 5 week mark. So I lost 12.5lbs over 5 weeks which is over 2lbs a week of weight loss. I am still impressed by this amount of loss in that period. Unfortunately I do not have a progress pic of me at 207.6 as my intended plan was to do another set of pics at 6 weeks and then the final shots @ 8 weeks.
Here are a couple pictures of me at the 3 week mark and 209.7lbs compared to where I started. I lost another 2lbs after these were taken before the stay at home order went into effect here in Houston and everything went off the rails.
I would definitely recommend this stack to anyone looking for an edge while leaning up and maintaining if not possibly growing some muscle tissue in the process. My weight training was geared to muscle maintenance due to some injuries and I definitely did not lose any muscle during the process.
