Alright guys! So I am not going for a straight calorie restrictive cut more so a recomp style and will cut caloried where I see fit and how my body responds. Second pill down the hatch.

Breakfast Meal #1 : 4 Hard Boiled eggs 1 Yolk. 1/2 Cup of oatmeal and my Eaas. 1 pill 30 min prior to the meal.

Meal 2: Meal #2 – 9.25 oz of sweet potato, 4.75 ounces of romaine lettuce, 5 ounces of ground beef, 1.75 ounces dry black beans. Usually thrown in a bowl and at like a taco salad. 1 pill 30 min prior to this.

I will have my third meal before the gym. then Post workout meal and a shake before bed. ( Ghost Whey right now ).

Today is my second upper body day. Its all dynamic effort with explosive concentric movements.


Plyo-push-ups- 5 sets-8 reps, 3 second count on the way down explosive movement up.

Weighted Pull-ups 5 sets-5 reps with a 25lb plate.

Lat Pull-downs- 5 sets of 20 reps.

Pec-flye Variation - 3 sets of 10 reps.

Rear Delt Variation - 3 sets, 12-20 reps.

wide arm Push- ups- 1 sets AMRAP ( as many reps as possible) in 4 minutes.

10 Minutes walking on the treadmill.

Thanks guys! Going all out with this little cutting stack. Might go a little to in depth with this log but I want to highlight ember as much as possible cuz Zoo is a good dude and has been very helpful with any and all questions I have had to make sure I get the most out of it.

3rd pill down. Workout finished and last meal before bed is almost ready. All in all felt good today. Nothing new to report yet other than I noticed after every pill I took my veins popped like crazy about 20-30 minutes later

Alright guys I’m back! So today was leg day, still splitting them morning afternoon and night. Few updates.

1. Definitely helps give me a little more energy. Helps for sure since I’m cutting.

2. I tried taking 1 in the am and 2 before bed and I’m not sure if it’s just been the stress of the week or what but I could not fall asleep and stay asleep. I’m going to try this again to see if it was a fluke or if it really is from taking before bed.

3. Veins are definitely coming out and spots they hadn’t before which is kind of cool.

4. No change in bowl movements .

And here is a picture from end of March and a picture taken before the gym.

Definitely lost a little mass after this cut but I’m going completely natty for a while so I guess that can be expected.

Any thoughts on being a little flat on t2? Feel like effective but flat, not like t3 flat. Of course using to cut it is expected, just flatter than without it.

I can’t say for sure if it’s mostly the t2 or the fact that I have cut carbs out almost entirely. But I do feel flat especially in the morning when waking up.

So I have noticed quite a difference in appetite. Don’t feel as hungry which is great on this cut, burning about 3k in calories a day ( I work as an HVAC maintenance tech at a hospital ) will update with more pictures tonight.

Abs are becoming more and more visible! Shedding some water weight and definitely a thin layer of fat. Not feeling very flat but definitely lost a little fullness no big deal.

Update: so finally moved into my first house! Well I say moved in but there are more boxes and bins than there is furniture lol but haven’t skipped a day in the gym. I played with the timing of each dose and I do 1 am 1 lunch one dinner and on off days i do all 3 before bed. Can’t say enough good things about this product! Leanest I have been in quite some time. Coupled with a strict diet this stuff is the tits

Another week down and down to 178.7. Only looking to lose another 2-3 pounds then it’s time to do a clean bulk this time around. Will still have a cheat day during my lean bulk never go overboard with cheat days. Abs are starting to become more pronounced. Feel very clean and less bloated on ember. I like that it doesn’t give intense swearing 24/7 like some burners. This is a clean dry feeling and I love it.
