Check your diet first before you go spending $ on such products… I remember you posted that you eat like crap; cut out all the junk see how that goes for you, then go from there. (soda, chips, cookies, candy, etc etc). But I don’t see a prob with them either IF the diet is good.
Watch out because fat burners with all those different stims will burnout your cns quik ass hell.
Yeah agreed… I take my original statement back, you’re not even 18 yet, right? No need for fat burners man (squirrel)
Yeah, that’s what I was looking to know…Stay with what Im using.

-Pretty tough training day, but I’m pretty happy with how it went.
-Weights are feeling sharp, pretty heavy but still managing to add weight to some movements week to week.
-Can’t wait to test in a week!
-Overall I feel pretty good but definitely ready for an unload week.
look like training is going good. goodluck
Sorry for not updating like I should, this week has been crazy with traveling, holidays, training, family, etc. I will update in a couple days when I get some more time, but I have been training and feeling good. It’s an unload week so the weights aren’t anything tough but I’m very curious to see how I feel next week. Speed work has been going well as usual, I feel good.

Testing Week
Warm up B
Power Clean worked up to 240 lbs. new PR 
Bench Press 3x2x65%
Speed
4x30 3 pt
3x60 Standing
-Took 2 attempts to get 240 up, probably wasn’t the prettiest but managed it.
-I felt somewhat flat in before the weights. My legs/feet didn’t feel like I had as much pop during the speed work either; I think the lack of sleep plus long travel may have had something to do with that.
Hoping for good testing numbers the rest of the week! It’s a busy week with school so we’ll see how I manage, 3 finals this week and 3 finals next week!
Do you have to hit numbers this week? You don’t want to be fried for your finals.
This whole week is a test week and monday was the first day starting with power clean.

I probably would have dropped the tempo runs.
