AntM Logs Purus Labs Theatrim

 

First off, I want to say thank you to PZHATER and the rest of the Purus Labs team for allowing me to log Theatrim. Tomorrow will be my first dose. You can expect updates at least 4 times a week. Those updates will include macros for my diet that day and training. I will weigh myself every Sunday as well. I am starting tomorrow, but will post my weight from this morning in tomorrow's post.

 

Goals

 

Currently, I am doing an aggressive mini cut at 2,000 cals a day. I have my protein up very high and carb cycle as well. I have put on ~30 pounds since my return to the gym about 24 months ago and decided to lose some fat so I can continue to bulk.

 

Diet

 

As I stated above, 2,000 cals daily, carb cycling, and high protein. I will post my daily macros when this log is up and running.

 

Training

 

I do a slightly modified version of the bodybuilding version of 5/3/1. I will post daily workouts once the log starts. I am also doing three cardio sessions weekly.

Height is 5'9. Age is 26. Weight will be in the following post. Bodyfat I do not know. Depending on the lighting, I look pretty good, I think. I have my upper abs and some obliques. My back is a little more detailed than in my profile pic and slightly wider. Waist is just a touch bigger than in the pic, but I am about 10 pounds heavier right now then in the pic. I was slow bulking from October 2012 until now. I am just looking to get rid of a little fat so I can continue bulking. I will try and get a pic at the gym.

Day 1

 

Starting weight is 155.4 lbs. I dropped my cals dramatically from last Sunday to yesterday and increased my cardio. I am down 3.2 lbs. My goal is to get to 150 or so. However, I m not looking to get into single digit bodyfat. If it happens, great, if not, great. As log as I lose some fat I'm fine. I've been bulking since October 2012 I was at 137 lbs coming off a surgery. I was about 175 pre surgery. 

 

I took my first cap a little bit before breakfast. I got up, drank a liter of water and took my dose then. Hopped in the shower and had a small breakfast. I took my second cap with my pre workout meal. I noticed with the morning dose that I was a little warmer than normal. I was also warmer while sitting in class. However, the heat in the room may have been higher. It is hard to tell since I was not in school at all last week, I was student teaching. I have not been in that building for about 2 weeks. It is also hard to properly assess a supplement after 1 dose. Placebo is a hell of an effect! My

Thanks my man.

 

Day 2

 

Nothing new to report today. I didn't have class, but I do tomorrow. With that said, I am going to wear a t-shirt to school to see if my body temp is warmer than usual. I always wear long sleeve shirts, so I think this would be a decent way to see if body temp is up.

I dropped my training max for legs last week for this cycle of 5/3/1. I was barely hitting the reps I needed too. I think it has to do with two things. One, the cardio and two, I got Nike Romelos. I had the cheap Adidas weightlifting shoes. With the Nikes, I go a lot deeper. I'd rather go deeper and have to drop the weight. I was hitting just under parallel before, now my hamstrings touch my calves,

[AntM1564]

I conducted my little experiment at school today, which I still am since I'm currently sitting in class, and I am warmer than normal. Usually, I wear a long sleeve shirt under my North Face and keep the jacket on. I sometimes take it off with the long sleeves. Today, I am wearing a t shirt under my jacket and have pretty much gone the entire day of just keeping the t-shirt on. With my fasted cardio this morning, I felt great. My mood was good and I was not all that hungry.

[Grambo]

Good stuff so far!

Thanks Grambo!

 

Day 4

 

Surprised how well today's morning training session went since my stomach was bothering me. I had my head in the toilet before I left my house, nothing happened, but I thought I was going to get sick. It went away after 30 minutes or so. I don't know if it was the Theatrim or not. I will monitor this. I started feeling the vomit about an hour after my dose. I just took my second, I'll see if it happens soon.

I asked a random guy to spot me on my 185 set. I felt like I could have gotten a 6th rep, it would have been a grinder, but I could tell he would have touched the bar. I hate when people do, so I decided to stop so I knew I got the 5 reps with no help.

Day 7

 

My weight today was up from last week. It was 156.8 I believe. But last week, I had some stomach issues and was completely cleaned out if you know what I mean. Also, it was my first week of lower carbs so glycogen and water may have been down. The mirror and my clothes are telling me that I am losing fat. Back muscles are very visible and abs are looking better. My waist is tighter too, I can tell by using the next loop on my belt.

 

I do not feel any different when I take my afternoon dose. However, when I take the morning dose, hunger is down which is a surprise in the morning. I'm always hungry in the morning. I also feel good, like nothing can bother me.

This is going to be one of the positives of this product, especially in a cut.

[AntM1564]

Ant,are you having appetite suppression as well?

 

In the morning, with the first dose, great. In the afternoon when I take my second dose, hunger is slightly subdue, but nothing compared to the morning. In the morning, I can train fasted and feel like I do not need to eat until several hours after.

Day 11

 

Sleep was not that great last night. The bottom inside of my right foot was pretty sore for whatever reason. It almost felt like the tendons/muscles were over stretched and it was cauing discomfort. I fell asleep for about 30 minutes and then woke up. I ended falling back asleep for another hour or so, and woke up again. I took an Advil PM, which I am not supposed to take, but I could not fall asleep. I woke up and felt alright. Theatrim helped me get through the early training session despite the bad night of sleep;
