Good updates on progress.

Thanks!

Seems like my legs are growing the most so far. Up to 22.5 inches, up a half an inch in around 2 weeks. Not bad at all since I haven't gained much weight (couple pounds). I was sitting around 170 for a few days and my waist went up to 30 inches over 29.5 so that sucked lol. Haven't measured that again since weight went back down. I'm assuming I was up in weight so much because I had a few days of close to 5,000 calories lmao so that could account for the gain in waist size too. More food in the stomach and bloat, etc.

Arms still at 15 inches. My neck is up to 16 inches though, I believe it was 15.5 when I started the log. Measuring each part the exact same of course.


This picture was at 170

I was looking back and the pictures I posted at the beginning of the log were when I was actually 158!! I thought they were around 163-164 but I was wrong. My fault. So this picture from the pictures on the first page is a 12 pound gain.
 
Good workout today. Weighed in at 168 this morning. Ate a poptart and popped two follidrone 2.0 capsules, drank some conqu3r unleashed on the way to the gym and was ready to get to work when I got there.

This morning, didn't even work legs today.

Invalid Link Removed

Am I delusional or does it really seem noticeable that the legs getting bigger (more defined too??)? What do you guys think?

Veins running through my calves lately too. My girlfriend saw them the other day and was like "ohhhh sexy leg veins!!"...Also noticing veins running through my lower stomach.
 
Nice .. stomach veins are sexy
 
Not delusional, legs seem noticeably larger / fuller in second image, what is time period between 2 images.
 
Do you find stomach veins at lower ab, even below bottom abs, i currently have them back whilst i have cut down on BF% and attribute it to the lower levels of body-fat. my vascularity has been poor lately though due to running very low calories and also being Keto. some days i have used 2 caps FD2 pre workout with 6 caps Olympus Labs Hydro3 and 2 scoops of PES high volume just to have mediocre ****ty pumps.

little under 8 weeks between pictures...6-7 pound body weight difference.

yeah the stomach vein runs from down by my pubes up into the lower stomach...it's not a bulging vein or anything but it's there.

i'm gaining weight and eating a ton of carbs lately though so i expect it to disappear soon lol

Great progress, mirror is your best friend or worst enemy for progress, great when cutting, **** when bulking if you do a FULK, i also have the veins in the same area, below belly button into bladder, pubic area, and running through hip bone area, i have around 4-5 horizontally from each-other, also since i performed my 1st major cut 4-5 years ago i gained leg veins in quads with a web like formation which never seemed to disappear even after bulking all the way to 208-215 lbs compared to the 158-161 i am around now, i have dropped from 208.25lbs from 18th April of this year until today 28th October 2016 to 158.75 of this morning around a 50lb loss in past 6 months. + i wasn't overly fat to start with.

Dang man that is insane. Do you feel like FD 2.0 helped a lot during the cut? What's your body fat at these days??
 
I ran one bottle during a cut and I didn't find it helped enough to justify the price. Maybe better suited at the end of a cut to retain strength.

You must be shredded at that weight by now Paul. I remember seeing your training video a while back and you looked pretty damn jacked.

Feeling super sore (in a good way) today. Had a big cheat day yesterday and didn't count calories. Probably close to 3500-4000 though. Ate a pint of Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Ben & Jerry's ice cream during football hnghhhhhhhhhhhh. Then a bunch of teriyaki chicken, chips, candy, fiber one cereal...lmao. Woke up this morning and still in the 166 range.

Debating on whether to lift today or not. Probably will later on in the afternoon though. FD 2.0 definitely has me wanting to go to the gym more, it's also raising my libido a ton. I'm typically not very horny (anxiety, depression) but lately I've been getting boners for no reason. Been fapping then having sex with the girlfriend on the same day sometimes which never happens lol.

Today I have front squats, OHP, light deadlifts on the schedule. Probably add in some rear delts/biceps and pull ups again. Kind of liking doing 2-3 body weight reps of pullups between sets for more volume every workout day. It's funny how light body weight feels when you're used to adding weight.

First bottle is almost gone, probably about a week left. Then it's onto the 2nd bottle. After that, join me for another unsponsored log of Or1gin and Test1fy. I think the gains (if any) will be really noticeable from log to log so that's why I want to do it. It's also been kind of fun keeping track and having people follow along.

For those with kids have a good halloween night! Steal some candy from your kids for some fast acting postworkout carbs nahmsayin?
 
Dang man that is insane. Do you feel like FD 2.0 helped a lot during the cut? What's your body fat at these days??

Using calipers, Chest was 3-4mm, Abdomen, 1 inch right to belly button, was 4-6mm, and Quads midway 3-4mm, my younger bro estimates around 5% or lower. Weight loss did slow down to around 1lb for past 2 weeks despite being around 1000 below my maintenance level, i was satisfied with cut so am moving to maintenance calories and then low 200-350 calorie surplus to gain lean muscle keeping fat gain to minimum.
 
I ran one bottle during a cut and I didn't find it helped enough to justify the price. Maybe better suited at the end of a cut to retain strength.

Thank you for positive comments.
 
Poptart and 2 fd's...lol, seems like a ritual. Didn't weigh in this morning. I'll be honest, I feel fatter since starting this. Maybe it's the extra food and eating more sodium but my stomach is definitely less defined and bigger (over 30 inches this morning!!)...Sort of annoying but I'm getting stronger and fat is easy to lose in reality.

Anyways, onto the workout.

Good updates, progressing with workouts, how do you find overall endurance.

Yeah, seem to be progressing in strength weekly. Doing quite a bit more volume than usual but in the same amount of time that I was before starting it. Endurance is definitely up for sure. So are pumps and vascularity especially when I'm in the gym.

Weight is all over the place though. I'm 169 today but I was 170 at one point last week then by the end of the week was down to 165. Weird since I haven't been in a deficit at all for the entire month. Usually 300-500 above maintenance but a handful of days I've been so hungry that I binged and been 1,000 over
 
Nice updates indeed! May be time for me to give V2 a roll
 
It's pretty good for a natty product. I've read from a few logs that the 2nd bottle is better so we shall see.

I ran an extended log on V1 for months and the results even picks really spoke for themselves. Ive seen alot of words but I dont think anyone has tested it to that extreme since the V2 has been out.
 
Good workout.

After that just a lot of side delts and triceps....probably 4-6 sets of each for 12-15 reps
 
Doesn't mean much from this data

Body weight was 164, body fat 8% =151 lean mass, 13 pounds fat
Today 172.5, body fat 9%=159 pounds lean mass, 15.5 pounds of fat

Waist was up to 30.5 this morning (up 1 inch)
Neck 16
Arms 15.25 (+.25 inches)

That's after 1 bottle? 8.5lbs is a pretty big gain. I know your waist is up but how do you look in the mirror?

yeah after 1 bottle, but my weight fluctuates a ton so it's not really that drastic. mirror is fine, look a little bigger/fuller/vascular but that's about it. definitely not 8 pounds of lean mass lmao.

Yeah my weight is the same. Were you depleted or coming off a cut before starting? I guess we will see where your weight trends in the next week or so. 8lbs of lean mass would be better than a lot of hormonal stuff haha. I was just wondering though since we are similar in size. If I gained 8lbs in a month it'd be pretty visible, and my waist would be the most telling. Good log so far. I'll probably be starting my 2 bottles near the end of your run.
 
Oatmeal and FD 2.0...weighed in after I ate 3 packs of oatmeal and drank coffee and a diet coke so weight isn't accurate but I was 171 after all of that.

Something is definitely going on with this stuff. Bench Press was amazing today.

Weight back down to 168 this morning. So 4 pound solid gain the first month. Taking the day off of lifting most likely. Either that or go to the little gym at my apartment complex and do some lat pulldowns, cable rows, face pulls/rear delt raises and curls.

Good update on workout/s, do you find your weight changes by a large margin from AM fasted VS PM pre bed after all meals and water consumption for entire day.

Just out of curiosity, because i weight in last wed or thursday, PM weigh in was 187lbs and the AM was 170lbs, through course of day i managed to gain 17lbs, this is running at below maintenance calories, but sometimes i do go up to 8-10+ litres of water in a day.

yeah definitely. always seems to fluctuate a ton throughout the day. i can be 168 in the morning and then 180 at night easily. i don't worry about it because it always levels out.

Def quite the combo lol.
 
Just did some back work at the gym in my complex. Nothing major. 4 x 10 pulldowns, 4 x 10 Cable rows, 6 x 12-15 DB curls, 2 x 15 rear delt raise, 2 x 15 band facepulls.

Bottles almost empty of the FD 2.0. Ordered 2 bottles of hdrol today lmao. I'll do that from mid December until beginning of February and then do PCT with Nolva/Test1fy & Orig1n
