Comments: About halfway through this workout I was sweating like a madman. I really wanted to leave the gym after my workout but sucked it up and did cardio. Red Acid really heats me up. I do want to say that I think my calories have increased to slightly so while I have already lost weight the true test is going to be the pictures.

Sorry guys I keep forgeting to update this. I am keeping a log on BB.com as well. I will try to be more regular.
Today's workout was not great. There are several reasons for this. I was working out at a different gym because I had a meeting in Arlington and decided to hit the gym out there. I had no idea how big home field advantage was but it took me a while to get used to the different layout. There were still cheesy guys in tanktops though so I knew I was at a gym. Also my sleep has been off for the last couple week. Been waking up every night at 4:30 and not being able to fall back asleep. Its not the Red Acid as I take the second dose around 1.

40 minutes cardio
Comments: I did get a little burst of energy from RA but not in the traditional way. I was halfway through my cardio session and wanted to quit but got a second wind of sorts that was noticable. Also I have to admit I was a bad boy. I started taking Xceed again today. I had gone 3+ weeks with no creatine and I was craving it I hope this is not a problem

I am in transition as I have finished the entire 18 week Big Beyond Belief program. I am plannning on starting a workout I saw in Flex Magazine that looks interestin but this week is in flux. I am going to back off weight training to 3 days this week doing full body workouts. I will still do 5 -6 cardio sessions.

Cardio: 30 minutes low intensity.
Notes: The pace of this workout was very intense. By the time I got to the second muscle group I was dripping in sweat. I was able to hit 15 reps on most sets but it was a real struggle. I realized my Red Acid will run out by the end of this week.

Today's workout
I beasted out today (except on squats where I admit I am a wuss). I recently found a dependable training partner so I can safely increase the poundages I am using. I feel blessed that I have gained and maintained this much strength over my cut. It was a full body job.

Comments: This was a great workout. I typically don't train this heavy as I really don't need to but sometimes its fun to "Meat out". The biggest difference is this week I cut back from 6 weight lifting sessions per week to 3 and the added rest really showed.
Red Acid Notes: Still chugging along. My bottle will end on Monday. I plan on writing a full review on Tuesday and posting pictures Wednesday.
I remain

Progress Pictures
Another boring Sunday. Where did all this time come from??? Anyways I decided to take some progress pictures and I guess these will serve as my "After" pictures. As I stated earlier my back broke out in a pretty bad rash yesterday from being waxed. Not the greatest quality as I took them with my cell phone.
I was a bit dissapointed in how I looked as I thought it would be better. Oh well just more motivation. However I do think that RA2 helped me lose a good bit of bodyfat. I may even be sub 20% BF. Here are the pics, full review coming soon.Attached Files

Final review
Well I may as well write my review as well. At the beginning of the log I said I would evaluate RA2 on 3 specific catagories Energy, Appetite suppression and Fat loss/Thermogenisis. So without further ado.
Final Weight-260 (-5)
Waist 42 (-1)
Chest 51.5(-.5)
Right Arm 18 (0)
Right Leg 27.5 (-.5)
Neck 18 (0)
Right Calve 17.5 (0)
Energy- This in my opinion is not what this product was built for. When I take a stimulant I like to feel the rush of energy especially on low carb days when I need a little extra kick for my workout. The first week or so I felt a slight jolt from RA2 but my body adapted quickly. The energy is very different and I got the most benefit from it during long bouts of cardio....increased aerobic capacity possibly. Anyways in Energy I give it a 6/10
Appetite Suppression- Wow. This product blunts appetite. At this point in my diet I am a very regimented eater so I rarely if ever miss meals and sometimes I had to force food down. While I still ate the same amount with RA2 the challenge was eating the food rather than not eating it as is the case with most low calorie diets if that makes sense. 9.5/10
Fat Loss/Thermogenisis- I was hot and sweating 30 minutes after I took a dose so there is a good bit of heat with this product. I will say this effect lessened on me towards the middle of the bottle and had I been paying for it myself I would have increased to 3 twice daily. While 5 pounds is right around what I would expect to lose for a month I do think I dropped all bodyfat and was very happy to see and inch lost in the waist. 9/10
Overall- Good product. Only thing holding it back is the stimulant effect...take it out of the equation and you have a great product.
8/10
As I stated earlier in the log I believe that this would be a great product to market to boxers, jockeys, fighters or anyone else who has to make weight for a sport. The reason I say this is that it really heats you up and helps with endurance so it could benefit someone looking to lose water weight quickly.
Thank you to CL for picking me as this was my first sponsored log. I hope I did an ok job.
Thats all folks feel free to ask questions.
