A little history....for as long as I can remember, from my teen years on, no matter what I varied in diet, exercise or in some occasions, supplements I have always had midsection fat. I could always see the top 2 rows of my abs.

I have been successful in following a powerlifting routine and even competed a couple of times. I lost weight for the competition, but the amount of fat pretty much remained unchanged.

I have used abliderate with little success in reducing VAT, yeah I have some VAT too.

Summer is almost over, but swimsuit season is around the corner in the souther hemisphere, so why not give it a good go?

My diet:
PSMF/IF -- I have one meal a day, usually dinner, eat anything I want, but it is mostly clean...whole wheat pasta and in general low carb. Other than that I have 150-180 grams of whey mixed in with milled flax seed or olive oil.


My training:
Lose fat while you smell my crack..
My conditioning is horrible after a year of powerlifting..this is a welcome change.


Supps:
To complete this un-holy trinity Napalm, others daily:
Multi Vit
Vit C
Fish Oil
Choline Citrate
ALCAR
Melatonin
Taurine
Vit B6

That's it. Oh and I have low testosterone that will eventually be fixed once my appointment with the Endo happens..that is my full disclosure of all relevant facts.

Pictures to come later tonight.

WooT! Looking forward to this.

Completely off topic, and since I'm not as versed on the latest internet lingo....what is "WooT"?

And now....I'm fully self conscious....wow do I ever look fat...all in the name of science.

"WooT" is simply an expression of excitement.

First impressions. I started last night and now it has been 24 hours since I began. I applied 5 pumps from chest to below the navel and love handles. More on the abdominal area.

The product is yellow/orange gel. As far as the smell I can't put my finger on it, but it is reminiscent of something I've smelled before. The odor stays with you for a good hour.

The gel itself dries up quickly and washes off easily off your hands.

I have other impressions, but would like to wait a few days before I post them.

You know you're supposed to apply it twice per day, right?

Yes I apply it twice a day. I guess that my message wasn't clear. So I apply 5 pumps twice a day.

Observation # 1 for the week...my skin gets red, warm for the first 20-30 mins and then the temperature drops.

FAP FAP FAP

I decided to apply my evening dose early on before going out to a meeting...at the meeting, the air conditioning was lacking...wow...I was sweating like a worm at a chicken dance...

Good luck

I seem to be retaining water as I'm actually smoother in the midsection. I decreased the number of pumps per application to 4.

There seems to be some "gelling" or pilling when the product is rubbed on for too long (10 secs?) So I usually stop as soon as I feel some grittiness.

It's pretty normal for carbomer to ball up/peel off like that. Don't worry.

Water retention is also common with GA and yohimbine. We were hoping to cut down on that with synephrine.

If no one is around to hear, will it still make that sound (and will I still go blind?)

This is working...I'm half tempted to post a one week picture update...but I won't..it will be that much more dramatical at the halfway mark (when the bottle is halfway or two weeks, whichever comes first)

I have noticed some itching, several hours after applying the gel.

Also there was an initial feeling of stimulation with it. Not a big deal in the morning, but at night I had a bit of a problem sleeping when I applied it near bedtime...Now I apply it several hours prior.

that's great that you are seeing results so quickly. Looking forward to seeing your progress

Don't forget that I am also doing the LFLYOC (Lose fat while you're on crack) I started both at the same time

That's a killer combo right there. Free it up and scorch it off. I can't wait to get back from vacation so I can start my trial.

I am enjoying your log Ozz, well done thus far and please keep it up.

The before and afters are going to be like Xmas gifts for those closely following, .

Thanks SP...
Yesterday..since I was heading for the beach with the kids, I decided to forgo the morning application as I didn't know how the sunscreen combo may workout. It was a good decision....by 6pm most of the water retained during the week was gone...the results of ONE WEEK are already impressive. I will take pictures next Sunday evening skipping the morning application as well and I may skip the Saturday evening one as well so that all water retention is gone.

Week two here I come.

I took pictures for the halfway progress.

A couple of pointers...turns out it's a bad idea to drink a few beers when you tend to retain water. Bah, it was worth it though. Business dinner and it was a really crappy day, so I enjoyed myself. I will post the pictures up as soon as I get them off the camera.

I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, but wanted to update the log, nonetheless. I had a couple more beers this weekend after pictures and noticed the bloating immediately. I have added some potassium to my supplement regimen to aid in getting rid of some of this water.

Still struggling with the water. I will make sure there is no alcohol consumption before the final pictures. I am very satisfied with the results so far.

....and now the pictures. I am bloated in those pictures, but the love handles change is very evident...well, judge for yourselves:

Damn. Looks like it's working to me, if you really are holding water. Take a piss and take more pictures for us.

You want pictures of him taking a piss? Damn, what has happened to this board?

I agree that you can def tell a difference..but it looks like you are flexing in these pics but not in the originals. I am correct or seeing things?

Looking good Ozzy. It feels good to see results from all the hard work. Matt just posted new pics off me when I started my clen cycle and I could see some improvement. It keeps you going to know its all paying off.

Believe it or not I was flexing in the originals...which is why I was very surprised looking at the original pictures..

George PM me...Ha! no way!!!

Thanks all for the feedback

No comment on the pics yet Tony?

Little tiny update...Starting weight 185 and change..today 180...

So between Jeff and I there has been a 10 lb recomp

That's one way to look at it

How's LFLYOC working out for you?

LFLYOC is kicking my ass every time, but I am sticking to it...next week is Week 4 jump rope, not looking forward to that at all.

It's great to be finished in 25-30 mins but the workout is taxing. There is a definite mental edge to it. My I'm already tired threshold kicks in from time to time (around rep 6) and then I have to go into a mental place, where I just do the repetitions (oddly enough faster).

The only variation I have made, due to an overtighteness of my minor pecs, was to perform split squats with dumbbells at my side. (The pec tightness was pulling on the shoulder too much).

Recomp? So you stuck 10 pounds of your meat into Jeff?

Repump?

FTFY

.....last week of the trial...I wish I didn't have to stop, but when it is gone...it's gone.


New observation...it seems the fat is softer, way softer, almost like excess skin. I suppose that it is a sign that fat is melting or has melted.

Now the question is, Will it stay off?

You do look leaner.

You're not sucking in, are ya'?

Flexing on both pictures

I think I have hit the wall as far as the fat loss is concerned, but increased stress would do that anyway. The bottle is almost empty.

Just noticed this, funny guy.

Other titles that narrowly missed the cut for my workout:

Lose Fat While you S*#^ D&#$ For Crack
Lose Crack While you Get Fat
Lose More Fat Than Your Crack Whore Mom on a Depraved Weekend Bender at Ozzman's House

Still not sure if I made the right choice.

One of my top ten weekends ever!

The end is near..and I noticed that there is more stimulation now that the bottle is almost empty, like the yohimbine had settled perhaps.

Good observation. Have to encourage thorough shaking before all applications if this persists.

The Final Countdown can be sad, but it will be for sale soon enough, if you liked the results!

This is it...I'm done with the bottle.

First let's add some pics and I'll put my final comments after them. Look at the pics, make up your mind and then read on.

The product visibly works. I'll miss the cooling feeling after application, the red skin and the knowledge that I was using a product that was burning my fat.

But then..it seems around week three, it all stopped and it seems that I hit the wall. Diet didn't falter, training was solid, but then: nature, setpoint, the theory of dynamic systems, my screwed up hypothalamus or whatever it was, took over and here I am.

Thanks Avant for the opportunity of testing your product. Solid.

So up until week 3, everything was fine, and then things simply stalled?

That's the way it seems. Once I stopped the Napalm application (when the bottle ended) I stopped the training due to scheduling conflicts.



As a side note: I have done no other exercise than play in the pool with the kids (no, it's not a euphemism)...just out of curiosity, because I had a hunch... my waist is down an inch and my arms went up 1/4"... carb depletion perhaps.
