First off, thank you IronLegion and their rep for the opportunity to run this awesome product Invictus ! I am On my last week of Pct and will be picking up another bottle of Invictus to make it a 8-10 week run. I will be training 5-6 times per week depending on if I can get another day of cardio in or not .The break down goes....
Day 1 chest and back
Day 2 legs and abs
Day 3 arms
Day 4 shoulders
Day 5 conditioning

My goals are shipping, get shredded while maintaining as much muscle as possible.

Here is a pic...current body weight is around 270. Would love to get back to 240.

Height: 6ft
Weight:269.6lbs
Max as of 3 weeks ago...last week of cycle
Bench:400
Squat:550 in sleeves
Deads: didn't Max due to back, roughly 500

I know my PR will take a dive over the next couple months while trying to cut, will continue to lift heavy as possible with increases reps. I basically did a versus of 5/3/1 for 6 months and now switching to 10+ reps kicks my ass
 
Great numbers. I need to get me some sleeves. I think it would help me. I have really backed off the heavy weights, I feel tons better on my joints. Getting old sucks

Yes it does haha I'm 25....but college football made my knees and shoulders very old. I use mark bell STrong knee sleeves
 
Thanks, I would rep+ you but I mostly just phone app
 
I guess cause it loads faster lol
 
On Invictus....would you recommend 1ml in the AM or .5ml AM and .5ml PM or does it not matter
 
thanks for the mention IronLegion

Looking forward to see how this treats you. Im probably going to be jumping on Invictus next month.

I believe it's best to run split dosages. cortisol peaks in the AM and again in the PM...splitting the doses should help manage cortisol during it's peak times.

looking at your pic, invictus was made for you...if invictus targets your gut the way it did mine you are really going to love this stuff!!!
 
Switched my arm day and leg day around....the female friend wants to do squats with me tomorrow....so hit a great arm pump with a little cardio at the end. So far I really enjoy how fast Invictus dries on my upper body and chest, I am still doing 1ml in the morning but tomorrow I will switch to .5ml am and .5 pm.

Great updates, hoping this works great, as i will be running it as soon as it ships over here to me in the UK,

Have you ever used Reduce XT in the past for cortisol and if so how were its effects.

Never used any type of cortisol supplement before
 
Today will be an off day from lifting as I play in a slow pitch softball league Wednesday nights. Sprints are involved as I play outfield:) I was super drained and sleepy today, not saying it's from the Invictus just wanted to make note of that.

Hamstrings are by far my weakest link. Feeling good, was told I already look better in the waste by my fiancé, always one of my favorite pairs of golf pants which are usually tight felt a whole lot better today. Prob most of my head thinking that because I'm only on day four but whatever!
 
Done with the first week of part one of this program. Honestly am seeing changes already and I can honestly say the only major change was watching my carb intake and including Invictus. Multiple people have either told me I'm looking skinnier or asked if I have lost weight! So far so good! Shoulder workout today was awesome, shoulders on me are weak, I've have three shoulder surgeries with my football days and if the pump gets intense my scars literally start to hurt in my shoulders. Overall great workout, will be getting some cardio in tonight. Haven't weighed myself but I did take a progress pick and am liking the direction this is heading Invalid Link Removed
 
One week and things are already looking good...keep up the great work!

How is everything feeling?

For your shoulders, AC join or rotator?

I'm also plagued due to shoulder injuries...sucks! After my grade 3 AC joint separation (right shoulder), it took me 6 months before I could touch the top of my head. couldn't do BB bench for YEARS, and overhead presses were out of the question for even more years. Had a grade 2 in my left shoulder, that was a walk in the park in comparison.

Everything is feeing great right now, I tore my labrum 80% in my right shoulder and had two different smaller tears in my left shoulder. It absolutely sucks but I'm not playing football anymore. I was able to work up to a 400 pound bench and it didn't hurt my shoulders. I messed my AC joint up once during the season , I know how painful that's can be! I also have nerve damage on my left long thoracic never which means if I don't physical contract my lat during certain lifts by shoulder blade will shoot straight back causing shoulders and what not to be in awkward positions. One reason I'm trying to get down to 240 is I think my knees and ankles are starting to feel the pain from constantly walking around at 270.

Thats some pumps for the days
 
I understand the knee pain at your bodyweight. I was 275 for a while, and it was nice to have size and strength on everything. I feel quite a bit better at 250. I want to be around 240.

Had a sick pump afterwards, preworkout was a spike energy drink with 4 OL hydros....in other news, my youngest brother is going into his redshirt freshmen season of college football. He has challenged me to get back into college football shape. I am three years out of college, I am about 30 pounds heavier than I was my senior year, extremely stronger than I was three years ago but the last three years have lacked in conditioning, I will be using my brothers summer lifting and running program in a week and a half and run it through August until my own season of coaching high school football starts!!! Looking forward to the challenge
 
End of the school year and the damn kids are crazy, not to mention working a part time job up to 28 hours a week. Getting home I'm go straight to bed and wake up at 5, just to do it all over again. Working 6:45-3:30, 4-9 during the week ......I'm heading out of town and will be heading to a gym Saturday and Sunday. I hate when life gets in the way!!
