BodyFat Breakthrough with Level II (by Formutech)

LOL It has a bit of a kick to it you might say! One of the big reasons we came out with capsules. A lot of people will do just fine on 1 capsule or do what you have been doing by separating the dosage.

Separating the doses seems to work great for me, even if only an hour apart.

Notes

Was weak again today. I'll be back in it and caught up (with strength) by Monday.

I haven't had another dose since this morning, and I'm now starving. I really don't want to take one this late but I'm considering it. I'm < 1,000 cals, so I'm probably safe to hold off and just eat when I get home. TBD...
 
Just getting back into the swing myself. Had a bug last week, hit it hard on Monday, bug came back and first day of circuit training......sucks!

But as for you..keep up the great work!

Funny you mention that. Mine was gone, but this morning my throat was very scratchy. Hope it does longer and come back.

Thanks man!
 
Left the gym 30 mins ago and dosed 1 cap Level II about 10m ago. I haven't had anything except 2 protein shakes today and I'm already not hungry after dosing. Going eat some chicken and green beans anyway, though. Gotta feed. Will post my WO shortly...

Set 7 : 315x1
Set 8 : 225x10

^Breaks were 2-3 mins

Was going to do 1 more single 335, two more at 315, then Max 225, but there was a guy waiting on the rack. Real nice guy, he doesn't do any other accessory lifts, so I let him have it and I moved on.

Notes

My legs are fried. Total time in the gym not including stretching was 1:13:00
 
Nice Formutech makes top notch products

Agreed. They are one of my fav's, and by far the best tasting BCAA (Endurance Plus) that I've ever tasted.
 
Invalid Link Removed

6 oz pulled chicken, green beans, squash, bell peppers, chipotle pepper, and blue cheese crumbles.
Del-ish!
 
Down to 195 this morning from almost 200 at Christmas. I had a small spike instead of a steady drop since starting. I have close to 1/2 a bottle left and I WILL break 190 before it's empty.

Let's do this!

Nice job RJ! How are you looking in the mirror?
 
Keep up the killer work Tom!! Sorry I've been out of town for work most of the week so my presence has been scarce. I'm back now though!!

Like a sexy stud-muffin.

Meh, so-so. I'll post pictures this coming weekend. My calories were in point yesterday, but dinner we did baked taters and cheeseburgers (on whole wheat 'thin' bread), but sodium is a little high.

Welcome back. Your presents were missed.

Presence, I mean. Yeah, that's it.
:D
 
Used today as another rest day. Will do the next 4 on, two off, unless I feel like I'm not recovering fast enough. My calves are the most sore that I can remember in a long time. Not sure if it's because of the drop sets or taking 9 days between my last leg WO. The rest of my legs are sore too...

I dosed 1 cap at 0630, and am about to dose another. I'm not real hungry, but I don't want my appetite to sneak upon me. I'll post my calories later.

I am kind of in the same boat, sometimes trying to force feed myself as I don't want to start breaking down muscle..
 
Damn that looks tasty! I'm in for the rest of the run!

Thanks Pete, and welcome!

I am kind of in the same boat, sometimes trying to force feed myself as I don't want to start breaking down muscle..

It's hard sometimes. I'm short on cals right now but have no appetite. Probably hit up some ice cream in a minute...
 
Mmm. Finished up at 2,125 calories with a cup of French Vanilla Ice Cream. 220p/167c/62f and 33 fibers.

Kinda low on the cals, but I justify it because I didn't workout today. Will probably do back tomorrow, maybe with shoulders, and hit 2,400 cals.

Awesome detail in you log.
 
We had a monsoon come through last night. Several times the thunder was so loud it woke me up. Normally we don't hear rain because I keep a big 'ole fan going, but the run was so heavy in one of my dreams it was raining and flooding out of no where. I probably wouldn't have remembered it had I not woken up and thought that it was odd.

Anyway, witgh the broken sleep I almost skipped again today. As a matter of fact, I changed my alarm to do so. But, I belittled myself inside my head and finally got up and hit some back and shoulders. My pre was 1 of the 2 scoops I have/had of Volatile (tasty stuff), and I dosed two caps; one at 0615, then another at 0705 because I felt tired.

I will update about how the Level II and Volatile made me feel later. I'm behind on work because I had hearings all morning. Oh, and my workout too. In sum though, I just now finished my brealkfast.

Notes:

I was just spent at the end. I think I’m going back to splitting my muscle groups up except for bis/tris.
I dosed the Level II post workout. Started with only one, but I really needed that other cap today. Hopefully tonight is unbroken sleep.

The Volatile was really tasty, and despite the lack of energy that I started with I had the drive to push through the whole workout. My strength wasn’t that down, and I had focus to get the most out of my lifts. My arms got some crazy pumps today, too. My triceps looked like they were going to explode on my OHP’s.
I didn’t need a second dosing of Level II today. I thought about taking one for the energy, but I’m so far behind on my calories for today I just couldn’t. That stuff is a crazy appetite suppressant!! I love it. Lol..

Great w/o! How is the coffee with the vanilla protein and almond milk? This intrigues me a lot!

It's tasty. I used to prefer either black or a splash of milk, but figured I needed some sort or pre-workout calories. I have tried vanilla creamer in a while, but I bet it's very similar. I've also tried it with the vanilla almond milk and it's good too.
 
When I open up my carbs a little I might add chocolate syrup.
 
Calories will end at 2,417. That's actually right where I first decided my minimum on a lifting day would be. No ice cream tonight because the kiddo had "the greatest idea ever" for my salad, and I guess I told him last night I'd try it today. Well, he reminded me:

Invalid Link Removed

239p/197c/75f and 43 fibers.

The majority of my carbs have been coming from veggies and non-fat ranch. I love adding chipotle or Cheyenne pepper into the ranch for dressing/chicken.

I need to figure out what I'm lifting before the morning. I may go in and kill my chest with DB's. Hadn't done that in a while.
 
Lolrof! I love the Cheetos on top of the jalapeño peppers! I LOVE Cheetos! Can I have some of yours?

Absolutely! It was so-so. Would've been better on the side. Cheetos are my favorite chip by far. It was only 150 cals, so not too much of a hit.

Notes:

I dosed two Level II this morning. One at 0630, another at 0730. Two caps in the AM are where it's at for me. It seems to last all day, and I probably didn't need the second dose.

2nd one dosed at 1400. Like I said, this was not needed. It was extra difficult getting in the rest if my calories prior to dinner.

Total cals today will be at 2,492 if I have the 1c ice cream I have planned. 245/214/72 with 36 fibers.

What SW ap is that you are using? Great job, not sure I would be able to dose more than one serving...although I haven't tried.

Thanks DS. I don't know what you mean by SW, but I use Jefit for my workouts and MyFitnessPal for my cals/macros.
 
Cool workout! I like on the DB press how you did a heavier weight then a lighter weight. Was that a drop set or did you rest then do the lighter weight?
 
Nice job RJ! Oooooh, 18 laps on the Ab torture machine! Yes!
 
So, I took two caps pre today and I don't think I'll try that again... for a little while. Holy cow, I thought I was in a sauna! On the plus side, my HR was through the roof so I'm certain I was burning some calories!

WO log to come later...

2 caps was really nice on those -14% days working outside, lol...definately a nice kick in the arse for stim effect also....BUT what i really notice since not being on level II for awhile...appetite has gone WAY up!!!

level II will most certainly be part of my summer cut, no doubt!!!!!!

I agree, when I logged level ll powder, my appetite was was down.

Thanks man. It was no rests, and I'd get off the bench after the 40's and do the push-ups. Tried to, anyway.

Nice job RJ! Oooooh, 18 laps on the Ab torture machine! Yes!

My ab rollers are way down, but I hadn't done a whole lot of ab work. I'm gonna start doing abs at least twice a week, and hopefully three times like I used to before I packed on weight. My decline weighted crunches and twists used to be through the roof.

Thanks Kenpo!

Boom! Keep killin it brother.
Looks like you are keeping your macros tight also. That will be my next mission

Thanks bro, and welcome back!

I could probably cut back on my carbs a little, but I feel my fat and proteins don't NEED to change, really. Besides, I'm eating any rice, taters, breads, or other 'yummy' carbs, so at this point as long as I'm not cheating I'm happy with it.

My test will come this weekend at the hunting camp. I plan on 2k-2.1K/day. Maybe more if I hit the gym when I get back Sunday.

Screw that cold! I'd probably try to do the same job that you do if I lived there. Probably a huge demand.

I'm looking forward to having the Level II this weekend. I probably have enough to go a few days into next week because I rarely went over two-a-day.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried about coming off. I told my wife there are a few things I want (Level II included), but she asked I wait a couple weeks. Kiddo got braces two days ago (a couple months ahead of schedule).

Damn kids. Always soaking up the paychecks...
 
Slept like a ROCK last night. Only woke twice, and once was just a few minutes before my alarm went off. I debated resting because the only thing not sore is my arms. I'm hoping by tomorrow my legs will be ready, but I could always use cardio/core if not.

I'm feeling good though, and I'm feeling that it's going to be a great year of lifting. It's been 12.5 months since I quit smoking, and 11.5 months since I got serious about working out.

New goal: Mr Olympia by Fall 2014!

Really happy with the feedback we've been getting on this!! Brucega has another winner!

I wonder if he ever gets tired of making excellent products and just wants to put something crappy out just once. Lol ;)

There are times that I think about lowering my cals to 2k max, but I know in the long run I'm better off doing a slow cut. I have yet to feel weak (minus the normal 'weakness' from taking time off.) so I must be right around the right amount. I was cutting at 3-3200 in early June, so I know I'm at a decent deficit. Especially since I added back cardio (one week in, anyway).

Yeah, this is a winner.

Speaking of, I know sometimes there are deadlines for sales/introduction purposes... Do you guys want me to go ahead and do my review? I may be carrying through my bottle/log another week and I don't want you guys to be waiting on me because I'm a stim-sissy...
 
Workout and update(s) coming up in a few.
 
Where are you going to leave your review? Since nutra hasn't picked it up, there's nowhere to leave one. I was just waiting or I We can leave one at the end of our logs

I have yet to feel weak (minus the normal 'weakness' from taking time off.) so I must be right around the right amount. I was cutting at 3-3200 in early June, so I know I'm at a decent deficit. Especially since I added back cardio (one week in, anyway).

Yeah, this is a winner.

Speaking of, I know sometimes there are deadlines for sales/introduction purposes... Do you guys want me to go ahead and do my review? I may be carrying through my bottle/log another week and I don't want you guys to be waiting on me because I'm a stim-sissy...

Nah man take your time!!

I guess at the end of my log, then move it over after there is a review place available.

Nah man take your time!!
