PURUS LABS hooking it up, stacking for the pump

[Budman7811]

It's nice to be using a newer product. Condense island punch and AminoD watermelon should be a great combo. I am currently not using any type of training method, I just pick a body part and try to destroy it. Probably not the best method but I have slowly increased my weights and body weight throughout the last few month. I finally hit 195lbs, which is my max weight. Now I am looking forward to taking some weight off (pants have been getting snug).

Too bad this isn't a test booster log I'd have you guys posting some

But that's played out. Going to be serious and only post B/W

 

[The Solution]

Looking forward to this brother.

Crossing my fingers I can convince my 7&4 year olds to go to the gym this morning. Wife is going to a cousins funeral and well these two kids fight me on going. I am going to have to bribe them which gets expensive! We are going to a organic farmers market today to pick up some goodies. The last few months we have slowly been switching over. I bought a juicer, which has not been used as much as I planned but its my fail safe weight loss machine( I just got to use it). We are also in the process of buying a grass fed cow to slaughter(anyone in Florida who can help it would be appreciated!) that way we can stockpile. We have been buying turkey and personally it is getting old. Has the same or more fat content and just isn't as juicy.

So any food advice is going to be helpful. I need a scale(which I have whined about in other log) to properly have a good diet. So lets do this

 

[Budman7811]

On way to gym just took my Condense Island Punch .... Good tasting stuff. I can't wait to push some weight. I've used condense before and have had great results, I was using at 2 scoops then I want to move up slowly. Probably wont be able to do two scoop during the week because those are fasted workouts, an if anyone has followed any of my logs you know that I've over stimmed myself more than once.

Already feeling the tingles in the face..... This is going to be good.

Another thin I liked was that there wasn't any coloring. Basically clear like water. Sometimes companies add coloring,well mine didn't turn any colors, which seems to be wasteful. Who cares if a fruit punch turns red.... It's the flavor that makes the difference

you will be shocked how under/over you are when you start weighing food.
You using My Fitness Pal?
I suggest you customize some foods to help you be a bit more accurate (whey protein, fish oils, bcaa's, breads, cereals etc...) helps a ton.

Did things alittle different this morning because I really didn't want to get up. I've been having such a hard time rolling outta bed. Today was no different. I almost talked myself outta it because I have to work all day then pull a five hour night job, then training tomorrow which I will be sitting most the day so doing legs was my choice today.

[Budman7811]

AminoD so far has been nice. I am glad to have the extra aminos, pre and intra workout. I haven't experienced any adverse effect, which I don't think one could. Flavoring Is excellent at 16oz @ 3/4 scoop intra. I do about 6-7oz water pre with 1/2scoop upon waking up.

Condense is improving my workouts by giving me a little more energy and some decent pumps. I am thinking of adding a 1/2 scoop intra to carry on after workout too. Need to see the tolerance level. I haven't taken any with out working out so I can report how I feel.... Maybe this weekend I will just to have that review as well.

As far as diet it's pretty good in the mornings however it declines throughout day. Weighed my granola this morning and was amazed what 60g looks like, I have been eyeballing it and well I was at 180g. So now I have to show the wife and make Sunday my making meal day. The extra aminos should help decrease body fat but I need to help the aminos by not over feeding.

Breakfast was 60g organic granola, 1 banana, Greek yogurt, 1.5 scoop protein powder with Table spoon ground chia seed. Gonna hit subway for lunch, gonna stick to 6" instead of the 12".

Great feedback man ,have a good weekend.

Taking it easy today. Two birthday parties and then me and the kids tonight. Momma going out with family. Hopefully get to hit the gym I the morning. If not will be a good time to see what condense feels like with out physical activity.

Ehhh had salad for dinner to make up for the rest of the day. Minimized carbs and sugars. So I should be ok. Went through and tomorrow I am cooking for a few days. Quinoa, protein, yogurt for the next week. Weighing it all out and going to try and stick with it. Next weekend should be good lots protein for sure. I will post up all macros and see how well I do.

Why?
your 180+ pounds and want to eat 1500? your going to set yourself up for disaster dude, no offesne. that is a HORRIBLE Idea.

Training heavy is smart, i would also suggest not abiding by ratios. while they may be great to hit to a T the key premise while cutting would be 1-1.5g lb/protein, at least 20% fats and the rest carbs, if you are carb sensitive or think you are and cannot handle carbs very well then higher your fat a touch. ALWAYS keep calories as high as possible when starting to cut and allowing as much room for change as possible and preventing your metabolism from slowing or crashing faster from a huge drop in kcals. Bigger deficits are not always better:

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/setting-the-deficit-small-moderate-or-large.html

Small Caloric deficit (keep kcals and carbs as high as possible throughout your diet)
ALWAYS train heavy, and lower volume as diet goes on and cardio increases (due to less calories to recover)
Monitor your energy/hunger levels as you continue to diet this will help you
Make sure you implement refeeds or cheat meals to help spike t3, leptin, or hormone levels when they drop from prolonged dieting.

what can happen if you shortchange your calories, and end up leading to more stalls and a slow in metabolism is as follows as stated by Layne norton and metabolic crashing.

Went through what I planned on eating tomorrow and 990 cal... I will probably double everything and be at or close to 2000. I will read up on those shortly, more then likel tonight after kids go to bed.

Macros
1980cal
194protein
47fat
176carb

Macros would be

 

[Budman7811]

Read a bit and so far 12cal/lb would create a deficit for me and just need to maintain a lower fat to protein/carb. I do feel if I do my occasional cheat meals I can stick to this easily. It's not necessarily the weight as much as the fat I need to expunge. I like the weight I am at, it just isn't proportioned correctly. If I clean up the diet with more organic and super foods and correctly macro out the meals I should e able to lose so e I this gut (and yes I will limit the amount of beer, I will save those for my weekend cheat days... Empty calories is not good but that's what I like.)

 

[Budman7811]

Ill be adding ALA and Raspberry Keytones... As far as the RK it says to take at night approx 200mg. Has anyone else had better results? I'd like to take along with my ALA pre meal 2x a day. I've gotta get a multi goin again I ran out and haven't replenished. I've only been doing folio acid and VitD

 

[Budman7811]

I forgot to report on how condense and AminoD does with out physical activity. I say that I was a wreck because I had all that energy and no way to use it all. I did push the cart much fast to get out of the grocery store. I forgot a few things and well I will need to get more stuff. But all in all this stuff is legit. I can't wait til the morning. Gonna kill the back for sure. Hopefully from top to bottom... I tend to push the lower back to much, mid and upper need some focus. Any ideas? I use JEFIT to log my workouts and would like some better ideas

Take the ala before meals like GDA and keep them kcals high bro don't crash your metabolism

I feel ya. Read a couple articles. Still go a couple me to go.

Well the main reason for cutting in half was to prepare my self for some carb cycling in a couple months. Trying to get lean. I was trying to follow a diet someone sent me and I didn't realize that wasn't good.

 

[Budman7811]

Really late this mining. 4yr old sick and kept mom and I up. 103 temp made her a little delirious. I got into the gym 20 min later than normal, that's ok cause I did back. Takes a lot out of ya so short was good.

2 scoops condense and wow.... Still have energy, look like the truck ride this morning will be wide open.

Read the deficit article and why large deficits do more harm than good
if you drop real low right off the bat then stall, then what do you do? Set yourself up for failure.

 

[Grambo]

I will back up solution on this big time. Cut on max cals. I've done both ways and failed cutting too fast. I bet you'd never even need to get close to 1500.

 

[Grambo]

Great work so far.

 

[Budman7811]

Great work so far.

Thanks a lot. I've been enjoying the products so far. Had a good workout, even though was short, with 2 scoops. During my rows I felt like I was giving up, I just couldn't lift anymore. I have a good feeling lack of sleep affected that.

Wow back is destroyed, lots of stretching this morning. Hada decent chest workout, did pretty good without a spotter at 215... Pleased for sure.

On another note woke up a little hungry, no complex carbs last night for dinner probably affected that. Ate some trailmix before consuming Condense, I didn't want to take the chance of upsetting my stomach and having a bad day. All is well for now, banana and protein powder right after work out then when I get to work gonna have a huge bagel. Sitting in sauna right now, smells like someone pissed in here. That really is childish and pathetic for sure.

holy hell at 400mg caffeine for cardio?

Heart rate was 165-172 which is the same when I do cardio with our caffeine. I took the condense 1hr pre cardio so I feel it was wearing off a little. Felt good doing the crunch machine when I paused at top and bottom I could feel the tingling.
