In a week or 2 I will be purchasing WPC and a couple of BSL flavourings.

This is my first cut and first fatloss product, Pu12/Tank were kind enough to send me 2 bottles!

Crunches 4 X 25
Weighted decline sit-ups 2 X 25
Weighted leg raises 4 X 8

Thoughts

Since this is my first fatloss product I didn't know what to expect. An hour or so after the first serving I had a wide awake feeling , a sense of well being and I felt very energetic.
I felt great, I had more energy throughout and after a workout which usually leaves me feeling pretty tired.

GeordieArtois · 11-11-2005, 09:53 PM

Day 2

Cardio

15 minutes jump rope and 30 minutes on excercise bike.

Thoughts

I had a sense of well being and I was very alert, this was more prominent after my second serving of Red Acid.

I think it is safe to say that it is definately kicking in. I felt a lot hotter and my heart seemed to be beating faster during cardio. I was sweating like a biatch too, much more than usual which is good.
The cardio went great, I had tons more energy than usual and felt like I could have gone another 30 minutes. My thighs didn't feel anywhere near as tires as they usually do and I just felt psyched the whole time I was on the bike.

GeordieArtois · 11-11-2005, 10:07 PM

Dips 3 X 15

Abs

Crunches 4 X 25
Weighted decline sit-ups 2 X 25
Weighted 3 X 15

Thoughts

I definately had much more energy and endurance during this workout than I usually do. I had more focus and was very eager to workout too. Again, I was sweating more than normal, all of this I contribute to Red Acid.

Mood

The mood elevating effects I notice feel very natural. I feel happier and more enthusiastic..as well as very awake and alert. This isn't something that "hits" me, but more of a gradual realisation.

Appetite

No changes in my appetite so far.

Sleep

No change here either.

Side Effects

Absolutely none at all.

GeordieArtois · 11-12-2005, 07:11 PM

Day 4

Cardio

30 minutes on recumbent bike

Thoughts

I love the effect that RED ACID has during cardio.

It definately makes me sweat like crazy, and the sustained energy is great. I could have gone for another 15/30 mins but I had to be somewhere, but on future cardio days I might bump up the time I do on the bike.

GeordieArtois · 11-13-2005, 05:01 PM

Cardio

40 minutes on recumbent bike

Thoughts

I think I am actually getting better sleep since I started RED ACID which is strange conidering some testers report the opposite. When I woke up this morning I felt more rested and refreshed which was great.

Appetite

I think the appetite suppression is in effect as I am rarely hungry except a little bit later on at night.

I am still sweating like crazy during cardio, I can't imagine what it will be like when I increase cardio times on some days.

GeordieArtois · 11-14-2005, 05:46 PM

Day 6

Todays Workout

Biceps

DB curls X 15
DB curls X 10
EZ curls X 7
EZ curls X 5

Shoulders

Side raises 2 X 8
Front raises 2 X 8
Shoulder press X 7
Shoulder press X 5
Shoulder press X 4

Abs

Crunches
Weighted decline sit-ups
Weighted leg raises

Notes

Due to lagging biceps I decided to decrease weight but increase reps to change things up. I like the way it felt so I may continue this for a while.

Thoughts

During workout my sweating was noticeably more intense than it was before I started RED ACID. My energy and endurance was up too.

My appetite seems to be suppressed but it isn't a proble when I do need to eat.

My sleep seems to be deeper as well, which is awesome.

The mood enhancing abilities are still very much in effect.

pu12en12g · 11-14-2005, 08:43 PM

Awesome !

GeordieArtois · 11-15-2005, 04:37 PM

End of week 1

Cardio

1 hour

Thoughts

I upped cardio time from 30 mins to an hour and loved it. I had constant energy throughout and never got really tired. I sweated loads and also seemed to have increased recovery in my thighs.

Appetite

The same as yesterday, really. I only seemed to be hungry in the morning.

Sleep

I am getting better quality deep sleep :bigthumbu

Sides

None at all.

It's the end of week one and everything seems to be going great. It may be Friday when I report on any weightloss.

GeordieArtois · 11-16-2005, 05:29 PM

Day 8

Workout

The same as last Wendesday, but I made a PR on my last set of Deadlifts by 3 reps. I feel I could have increased the weight, and the weight on shrugs for another PR but I was distracted by some minor acid reflux.

Thoughts

Definitely the best back workout I have had in ages. The weights felt lighter and I can tell that I will be seeing more strength gains next week.

The improved sleep I have been getting is making all the difference too.

GeordieArtois · 11-17-2005, 05:32 PM

Day 9

Cardio

60 minutes

Thoughts

Today's cardio went so good that when I get the time I will continue doing 60 minute cardio sessions. The energy is very consistent and helps the cardio fly by and my sleep just keeps getting better which I contribute to the Red Acid

GeordieArtois · 11-18-2005, 06:03 PM

Day 10

Workout

The same as last Friday's really.

Thoughts

I weighed in and have lost 2.lbs and I have lost half an inch from my waist line.

I am still sleeping better and feeling the mood enhancing and stimulotory effects.

I have noticed that I have lost a little strength which I expected from cutting.

Impressive ! Thanks for the great updates.

GeordieArtois · 11-20-2005, 02:15 PM

Cardio

60 minutes both days

Thoughts

Cardio is still going great and the positive effects are still the same.

GeordieArtois · 11-21-2005, 05:24 PM

Day 13

Workout

Same as last Monday: Chest, tri's and abs.

Thoughts

The endurance definately helps with workouts like today's. Mood and energy is still up and sleep is still of a higher quality.

GeordieArtois · 11-22-2005, 06:22 PM

Cardio

60 minutes

Thoughts

Another great cardio workout. It's the 2 week point and things are going great with no sides at all.

I will post my second weigh in on Friday.

GeordieArtois · 11-23-2005, 05:35 PM

Workout

The same as last Wednesday - Back, light squats and abs.

Thoughts

I made 2 PR's on shrugs and deadlifts which was very surprising as I thought that I have been loosing some strength lately.

GeordieArtois · 11-24-2005, 05:31 PM

Cardio

60 minutes

Thoughts

Again, cardio went great and I had a good amount of energy.

GeordieArtois · 11-25-2005, 04:57 PM

Workout

Chest/tri's/abs - I did higher reps at a lighter weight today.

Thoughts

I weighed myself and since last Friday I have lost almost 2lbs AND lost almost half an inch from my fooking waist :bigthumbu
