You know, you have helped me save tons of money, get my nutrition (cookie cutter) and supplements situated, lower my BG levels, assist in training, my question is...why the hell haven't you helped me with photoshopping??

Week 4

Pumps:
- I have not experienced any better pumps during training since starting 10 pumps a Day and this is coming up to almost 4 weeks of use. I am going to bump to 15 pumps a day (dosed 5 pumps 3x a day) to see if this changes anything.

Vascularity:
- Body Comp is steady even with a slight bump in the scale, no real changes to note here. Bloog Glucose and Insulin sensitivity are very good as it has not moved this entire log (81 Upon waking fasted)

Endurance/Recovery
- I have not felt a decrease in rest times or on a day to day basis. It has only been around 3.5 weeks on this product. I will see if bumping to 15 pumps helps.

The only thing I have truly felt is a slight increase in body temperature after applying the Lithos. Besides that, I have not got anything out of the run so far. At the 4 week mark I am going to just use 15 pumps a day now (5 pumps 3x a day) and see if the slight bump in usage will aid anything other users are picking up.

He probably followed a cookie cutter diet and photoshopped all his progress pictures too right?
Must be the key to success

Was checking out the log, nice workouts and damn you for posting pictures of all those temptingly beautiful carbs.

I'm curious what your expectations were for the product?

Yes but his progress on the same trajectory as usual for his diet and training. He is not saying he has not improved but that he has not seen any noticeable improvements over his normal diet and training that he can attribute to the product.

 

[delsolrob]

So, vascularity increased significantly, muscle look more full, lifts went great...that's why I asked the question about his expectations. He gave me a dick response (at least that's how it came across), so I took a few minutes to put together a lineup of a few of his progress pictures...it looks like a pretty successful run to me.

This is why I outlined in the first post exactly what I am EXPECTING out of this product
All 3 of which I have been updating every single week have not seen much change at all.
You can go back and read my week 1, 2, 3, and 4 updates which outline all of these.

Feedback has been very stagnant with the following:

Pumps:
- I have not experienced any better pumps during training since starting 10 pumps a Day and this is coming up to almost 4 weeks of use. I am going to bump to 15 pumps a day (dosed 5 pumps 3x a day) to see if this changes anything.

Vascularity:

Endurance/Recovery
- I have not felt a decrease in rest times or on a day to day basis.

90% of the people who come in here don't read any of the previous posts, which have already covered what you are looking for. There is a reason I detail every single workout, every single weekly update, and post pictures in the same spot every week to show what I feel and experience during my run. I keep every variable as consistent as possible.

Expectations
- Improved Vascularity
- Improved Pumps
- Improve Strength

I’ve read articles saying you should eat 6 meals a day, stop carbs after 5 PM, and seen Dr oz spew enough bull**** to vomit

Take any article you read with a grain of salt
We can also find an article staying X Y or Z Does not mean it’s the final hear say to everything

How many articles can you find that are fitness related that are a complete hoax? Thousands
