Alright, so I guess I should log this product, since it sounds awesome and I am excited about it. It won't be the most scientific experiment, because I'm running lots of stuff with this, and I have a pretty hectic schedule right now.
At any rate, I took my first dose of Exotherm Thursday afternoon. I've been doing 1 pump 3 times per day since then. I had been on a PSMF between the end of January-end of May and took a planned 2 week break. I lost about 50 pounds, was down to about 190, gained about 7 pounds back, and my 2 week break turned into almost 2 months off due to so many things going on with life. My training has not been on par either. I started the PSMF on last Monday and between Monday and Friday I lost 9.5 pounds of bodyweight, presumably mostly water. I've had 2 cheat meals on Friday and Saturday (again, life) and I'm back on it today. I weighed 190 pounds this morning.
I have not been able to workout since Thursday, but I've been helping a buddy to a big demolition job all weekend and was swinging a sledge hammer, moving debris to a dumpster, etc.
As far as application goes, I start pressing the pump while holding over my shoulder and move the bottle down across my chest trying to spread the single pump as far as possible. I then spread it thinner with my forearm/wrist. The stuff dries within 1 minute I would say - it is fast. No smell, no issues. I hope I am applying it right it dries so fast.
I've noticed some very mild heat increase, or at least the perception of such.
What I have noticed is more of a mood improvement. I've been extremely exhausted for almost 2 months with all the work I've been doing. I'd have periods of getting overwhelmed and actually angry over little things. I had no motivation, but had so much to get done. Over the past 2 days I have noticed that these things no longer bother me and I feel much more in control and not angry at all. This could be due to some other products I'm using to combat my fatigue...not sure, but it seems to coincide with the beginning of my Exotherm use.
Right now I'm taking the following supplements:
Vitamin C - 5 grams/day
Fish Oil - 6 grams/day
Vitamin D3 - 4,000 i.u. per day
Multivitamins - 2 per day, crap brand.
Potassium - as needed
TTA Powder - 3 grams/day (almost done with this, will have run for about 6 weeks and will stop when the bag runs out so I can just see how ET works).
Shift - 2 pills twice per day (not recommended, but I've been giving it a shot and it hasn't killed me, but I wonder if it is making me lethargic and killing my motivation. The bottle should be gone in less than 5 more days and I will be taking a break, again, to try to run ET more on its own)
Acetyl-L-Carnitine - about 3 grams/day - this is somewhat of a staple over the past 3 months or so.
Caffeine - 200 mg 2X per day
Piracetam - 2 grams 2X per day ( started taking this to try to get some motivation/focus back, and it seems to have a mild effect)
Aniracetam - 750 mg 2X per day (same reason as Piracetam)
Choline - 500 mg 2X per day (to support the racetam usage)
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine - Started taking this also to try to get some motivation....started taking around the same time as the Exotherm, may be part of the reason I'm seeing positive mood effects.
GABA - I take this to help sleep from time to time. Was using it for a while, but it left me feeling a little disconnected the following day at times, so I've just been taking it conservatively.
That's about it. Given the mood increase, and increased sense of control - if this is due to the Exotherm, I am already thinking it would stack very very well with Alphamax.
That's a lot of stuff, I know, and it may confuse results, but it is what it is.
Again, I am 190 after dropping almost 60 pounds since January using a PSMF setup. My goal is to get to 160 pounds. I believe at that point I should be around 10% bodyfat.
