Alrgiht, just finished up my 1st week on The One. I'm just updating the feedback thread as I don't have time to log this daily. Anywho, let's get on shall we? Up 5lbs from 222.5 to 227.5 with a definite loss of fat also! Very happy. I can see a nice difference in the mirror which is only fueling my fire to work out, eat and sleep even more! Nothing better than seeing results for all the hard work being put in.
This past week I have been taking in 3k calories. I can take in 2,5k cals when on boosters and go through a slow recomp, so I figured I'd start out at 3k and add or take away from there. Since I'm basically sedentary as I sit in a cube 8 hours a day, my metabolism is slooow. That and I'm 31.
This week I'm debating if I should do 3,2k cals and see what happens. I really love the fat burning that's going on and I've made nice gains also. So I don't know. I can go for all mass or leave a little mass on the table and lose some fat yet for summer. What to do?!? :dunno:
My diet schedule and supplements consist of;
10am: wake; take 3 The One and mix up 2 scoops xtend and 2 scoops bulk BCAA
11am: mix a scoop of muscle milk in 1 cup 2% milk, 5 Uni-liver

There isn't a lot of solid foods on WO days in the morning as I just don't do as well with a gut full of food. Until actually taking The One I never had the stomach for solids after a WO either. But recently I have been HUNGRY and have been able to eat something.
Otherwise on non-WO days. I get in more solid foods. I will pan sear a steak or pork chop and throw a potato in the microwave for 5 minutes and eat that as breakfast a half hour after my Xtend drink.
Exercise; I'm doing the starting strength 3x5 routine. I respond very well to squatting every WO and with compound exercises in general. Especially with a high intensity. So I decided to use this routine as apposed to a low weight/high volume routine. So far I'd say it's working
MOOD: 10/10 Awesome! I'm just in a good mood all day. The aggression only comes on in the gym. With natural test boosters I was noticeably more aggressive and angry during the day.
HUNGER: 10/10 I can eat. Between this stuff and NeoVar. I have no problem packing away big meals and not feeling bogged down by them in the slightest. As soon as there is room in my gut I feel like feeding again.
FOCUS: 8/10 Outside of the gym the focus is lacking. 2 days it was hard to get myself in there. But once I was there I was a ****ing robot. I didn't think, I just did it.
SIDES: 9/10 None so far. It kind of messes with my mind when coming on and when it's wearing down at the end of the night. But I have always been sensitive to chemical changes in my body.
LIBIDO: 7/10 It's taken a bit of a dive. I do get random hard-ons, but the hardness is lacking a bit. I have a hard time keeping it up for the second round which is usually not a problem(this is more of a testament to the attraction I have for my GF as it is for my stamina. I can't do this for everyone :006
STRENGTH: 9/10 I've added 10-15lbs on my lifts this week and could probably pushed harder on my squats, but wanted to keep good form above all else. Things just go up a lot easier on The One
BODY COMPOSITION AND LOOK: 10/10 Definitely growing and losing. Muscle is up, fat is down. I love it. All in just one week! I was using Prime for 6 weeks and never experience this and I paid 2x the amount(still pisses me off)
QUALITY OF TRAINING: 10/10 Recovery between sets is great. Mentally once I'm in the gym. It's ON. The mind-muscle connection is there, easy to keep good form while lifting heavier than I would without being on The One. This makes training an absolute blast!
OVERALL: 10/10 All I want this thing to do is add beef and it is!! :thanks: Taking off some fat is an added bonus I wasn't expecting. I came into this skeptical as I've bought into the hype of Prime and was expecting way more than I ever got out of it(I hit a plateau on it for christs sake:28

. But, I've added beef, the scale tells me this, the mirror tells me this. My GF told me I look bigger. The only question is; add more beef or just keep doing what I'm doing. Such a conundrum!! :wave2:
