Good luck SK. You have some good base mass, and great biceps btw. I've been curious about this product. If it works for you I might give it a go.

Thanks guys about to hit the gym in a few minutes. So it's good to see the positivity

I've used this once before at 1 pak a day on the old formula. Stuff was great, clear energy and my desire to train went through the roof. So here's hoping...

Will report back in a few hours with opening comments.

[Shaolinkiwi]

DAY 1

training focus = 8
Focus was up this time around, the best yet. Despite eating nothing before the gym I was still able to put some PR's. Towards the end I was getting very tired but the cuts kept me focused and going.

energy = 6
Still nothing major in this area, I'm starting to think if your looking for a energy kick to get you thorough your workouts this may not be the right product for you.
But endurance for sure.

appetite suppression = 7.5
Still pretty good notably eating less, but get hungry towards the end of the day as the second pak wears off.

crash = 0
No Crash, clean stable energy through out the day.

WEIGH IN
Jumped on the scales before my workout, on Monday i was still at 88.67 Kg (just over 195 lbs) On Friday I was 88 even (just under 194 lbs).
