The new and improved plus size flashpoint formula, we have muriatic acid to help penetrate that elephant seal skin and included a complementary 4000psi Miti-M powerwasher to help speed up the application process.No, I meant power washer full of Flashpoint.

Once again, work/emails consumed my entire evening, but I will do my best to give you a detailed update before passing out. TL/DR will be at the end in bold.
Week 2-2.5 update: It's tough to explain this without going into some details...
Preface: I have been lifting, on and off, for over a decade now. This has resulted in 3 primary things: 1) I'm at an intermediate/intermediate+ level, 2) I'm getting old and much more prone to injury, especially with the heavier weights i'm working with at this stage, and 3) I am now very in tune with my body.
I use various workout plans as guidelines to assist me in periodization and progressive overload, but aside from this, most everything I do is intuitive. I don't count calories or macros and I very often autoregulate my workouts based on how I'm feeling in the moment.
Last week, when I began cutting a bit of carbs out of my diet to put me in a very small deficit and assist with fat burning, my strength was, for whatever reason, going up. I always prioritize strength gains over aesthetics, (within reason). My primary lift I'm working on increasing right now is dumbbell overhead press. Last week I hit 90's for 6 (seated fully upright, with full depth/rom, well past 90*), at ~RPE-7.5ish. My goal is to get to 100's for 5. I didn't think I'd get there in this mesocycle, but as it was maaaaybe in reach, I had to go for it. The risk, especially when cutting, is injury, not only because you're in a deficit and not repairing/building new tissue as effectively, but also because, especially at the beginning of a deficit, I always lose a lot of water weight, which means my joints likely have less "cushion". Also, I'm getting OLLLLD with 40 not too far away.
SO. I did what I've done a few times in the past year with success...what I call a "mini bloatmaxx". I bought a bunch of my favorite shitty cereals, (Reese's Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Oreo-O's, etc, all with fairlife milk), and for 6 days I ate what must have been at least an extra 1000 calories per day. Obviously, water weight shot up fast. I gained 10 lbs by day 6. The good news is, I hit 95's for 5, and 100's for 3, (didn't go quite full depth on the 100's out of fear, ha). So, I'm close. My current strength mesocycle is nearly over, and I'll be transitioning to a more bodybuilding-oriented (higher rep, lighter weight) program for the next ~6 weeks.
I have now been back to my slight deficit for ~4 days, and lost 8 of the 10 lbs I added from my mini bloatmaxx. Here's the best part: My spare-tire area didn't change at all. I have done this three times now, and both prior times, my lower stomach clearly expanded, to the point my pants all fit noticeably tighter. I don't know if flashpoint has the ability to potentially inhibit fat deposition, but it seems like it might. The main reason I saw little difference, of course, is that flashpoint likely has, by some mechanism, the ability to shed water from the applied area.
Anyway, I'll be sticking with my slight deficit for the remainder of this log. I am cautiously excited about what I've experienced with flashpoint so far. If these trends continue, I may be able to lose the remainder of my spare tire without having to cut too much further.
TL/DR: Despite a mini super bulk and 10lbs of (mostly water) gained, no impact was seen on lower stomach. If anything, skin continues to look a little smoother/tighter.

Thanks brother, I'll check out your log!
Sorry for the delayed responses to everyone. I was continuing to see slight reductions in my tire area and skin tightening up till my mini-bulk, and per my last update, saw no increase in size despite adding 10lbs from eating sugary junk. It's now been ~5 days back on the slight deficit and I swear my midsection looks as tight or tighter than before the bulk.

I see you are also a man of taste and culture. I love curves. Not into stick-figure cardio bunnies. My favorite is the gym girl who looks trim with a flat stomach, but then you see her from behind and it's like:

Week 3-3.5 update:
I have been cutting for ~1.5 weeks now and am down 1 lb. This is slightly faster than what I wanted (~.5lb/week), so I'll be a little more careful and possibly add a few extra carbs post-workout. I am going to do everything I can to hold on to my muscle this time. Cutting naturally is, as I'm sure many of you know, a real pain. I've lost so much muscle in the past going for perfect abs. Not this time.
Good news! lower abdominals and love handles are definitely slimmer than last week. Skin is tighter and there is far less "jiggle" when moving/shaking. Pinching the largest fat deposit on my lower abs results in over 1/4" less than when I started. Again, a portion of this is/was water retention, but I am confident that I look better and tighter than past cuts around this bf%.
About 7 days ago I moved up to 1.75ml, all applied pre-workout. Sticking with this for the moment as I believe I'm seeing faster results than normal. I will eventually move up to 2ml, but not yet.
Last day of my strength mesocycle today...even though I'm cutting I went for heavy DB press again and got 95's for 6! Feeling wide today

Bonus points for anyone who remembers the supp company whose shirt I'm still rocking after all these years.

Also, dinner the other day. I don't normally take pics of my food, but saw some other loggers doing it, so I figured I'd join in the fun.
Chicken Pesto Panini (ok, not technically a panini since I'm not fancy and don't have a panini press, but you get the idea).
