Day 2 - 05/11/12
Oh yeah, we're getting started now...got the IML Big Dogs in the house! Welcome guys and thanks for the support.
Just finished my morning fasted cardio and did all 100 minutes in one shot. Got through it relatively pain free thanks in part to IML's LEANFUEL EXTREME tab taken beforehand. Of course 100 minutes of cardio is a lot no matter what, but the energy and focus that I get from the LFE does help make it less torturtous. Hey guys, if y'all are having trouble doing cardio, if my big ass can get through it with the help of Leanfuel, then don't nobody have any excuses to skimp on their cardio.
Dry weight in undies was 362lbs. this morning.
Will hit hamstrings and calves this afternoon, and I have my weekly carb load/refeed tonight which will consist of 700grams carbs from pancakes, syrup, and iced tea.
I am a computer nerd, so I am going to not only be posting daily updates on how I'm doing with the HALO, but will most likely be posting multiple times throughout the day. So this will likely/hopefully be the most detailed log of HALO that anyone has seen to date.
Alright, gotta go eat and throw down some chicken breasts and almonds (along with my first HALO cap!!), but will check in with you muscleheads later on!Last edited by Dre23; 05-11-2012 at 08:07 AM.

Day 2 - 05/11/12 - Continued
So I trained hams and calves this evening. No, it isn't a glamorous bodypart, but it must be done. Nothing too exciting to report quite yet, but I did notice already an increase in stamina and endurance. I train high volume with moderate weights and short rests (45-60seconds), but tonight I just flew through all my sets without batting an eye. The more sets I did the better pump I got, and felt almost just as fresh on my last set as I did starting off.
Here's what I did...
Lying Leg Curls: (45 second rest)
1 x70 x15
5 x90 x12
4 x110 x10
(only last set taken to failure)
Seated Leg Curls: (45 second rest)
2 x100 x15
2 x120 x12
2 x140 x10
Cybex Adductor Machine (60 second rest)
3 x200(stack) x50 reps all sets...BRUTAL!
Seated Cybex Calf/Toe Press:
1 x110 x100 (change foot postion every 25reps)
1 x130 x100
2 x170 x50, x50
Seated Calf Raises:
1 x1plate x50
3 x1plate & 1 quarter x50 reps all sets
An hour later my hams and especially calves were still pumped...almost painfully. As a special note, by this time of the week having dieted on sub 70grams of carbs daily, I am somewhat dragging in the gym. Tonight I initially was dragging, but once I started going I had a really nice mental 'buzz'. I did not take any stims before weight training either. If this is just a taste to come then I am antipating some good things.
Alright, well had my pancake refeed tonight, and I feel that carb coma coming over me, so I'm going to hit the hay. I train delts/traps, and tris tomorrow, so I'll have something a little more exciting for you guys besides leg curls, lol.
Oh, and I took my HALO doses with meals at 8AM, 3PM, and 8AM.

Halo commercial
Here's a little "commericial" I filmed today during one of my shrug sets for HALO EXTREME. I may have taken a few poetic liberties about how quickly the HALO quicks in, but it was all in good fun and hopefully y'all get a chuckle out of it.
Enjoy!

Da 4 - 05/13/12
Well muscleheads, Im up at 5AM doing 2 hours of LISS trying to distract my mind from this pain lol!
But it's all good...I'm just happy to be awkae, alive, and doing what I love to do which is pushing my body to new heights and challenges! If you're not growing and changing then you may be alive but you're living a life of death. And I choose to live life to the fullest!!
Anyways, today is an "off" day...just strictly cardio, no weights.
Some things I have noticed from the HALO so far...
-slightly increased aggression
-increased libido
-increased sense of well-being (alpha-male increase)
While none of these have been over the top, they are already noticable.
Also, I wanted to point out that while I think IML makes great products, I have NOT received any products/compensation from them, and I went out and bought all 5 bottles of my HALO with my own hard earned cash. I see on many boards that many people ask for free product off the bat in order to run a log/review of a company's product. But I have no incentive to embelish my experience since I spent all this money on this product, and if it doesnt work, I'm going to be pissed and sure tell you all. But with IML's track record, I'm highly confident that my money has been well spent.
Of course in the mean time I will keep you all up to date.
Thank you NYJF! I have busted my butt these last few months for sure. The keys to my success have been consistency, tenacity, and perseverance in the face of adversity no matter what. It is great to hear of your weight loss & improved health & i'm glad to be considered your friend.
Thanks Last! I really like the Leanfuel. I was a stim virgin to a large extent and was hesitant to take something that would have me feeling like I was on crack, lol, but the LF was not too powerful (I personally only take 1cap pre-cardio), and the energy comes on "smooth" over time, and I don't notice a hard crash either. I would highly recommend it.
LOL, Heavyiron in the house! Thanks fordropping in brother.
On a side note, I felt all warm and bubly inside, lol, when I saw that the uber-guru, Heavyiron, had repped me, and said "Thanks brother". Heavyiron called ME brother?! Well of course it didnt take me long to see that H.I. calls EVERYBODY "brother" lol.
That's what I'm working on my man!
Glad you liked it, and that's what I feel one of my purposes in life is, is to help motivate others. I'm going to try to shoot a weekly video throughout this run.
Yeah buddy!!
