20mg Ostarine; L-carnitine 850mg IM
Notes:
First night shift last night, got a good nap in before work, was out all night. Meals went down easy, took everyone's advice and moved my carbs over the first three meals and only had my pulled beef for dinner. First loading day of L-carnitine, IM was in the quad and that will be the last time, PIP was horrendous. Will be choosing the delts going forward.

@KettlebellKingpin solid numbers buddy.......
Thanks mate, back In the gym today so excited to see what I can do this week.
Thanks mate, now ive just got to build the body that can live up to the name !That username is awesome KBKP let's goo!
All in due time brother way I see it it you set a vision and you back that vision eith actions you can and will achieve it.
Thanks for the kind words, i couldnt have said it better myself !
@KettlebellKingpin why are you injecting l cartintine? its super painful and PIP why? there is no need for it
Thank you for the feedback, man.
To be honest, it's an experiment on my part. I've read some articles, and from my review, it seems there may be some evidence. Alot of people hold the opinion that l-carnitine and its benefits are anecdotal. However, some studies have shown:
1: L-carnitine supplementation led to a reduction of total fat mass, increases in total muscle mass, and facilitated an increased capacity for physical and cognitive activities by reducing fatigue [1].
2: There is mixed evidence from what I can see regarding its efficacy in weight loss. One article that I think did a pretty good job of analyzing a few different studies seemed to show that it is efficacious in individuals with a relatively high BMI [2]. Now, given the way my physique presents at this stage, I'm interested to see if it will help me. Obviously, I have no way to measure this and no way to determine if it was actually the L-carnitine versus caloric deficit, ostarine, cardarine, SR-9009, zone 2 cardio, and weight training.
3: Some people report that it gives them a significant performance boost, though studies aren't so convinced [1]. I'm not 100% sold on this either; however, I think it would be interesting to compare this cut to others in the future and not use L-carnitine to see how I feel. Obviously, again, this is not scientific but just a thought on my part.
I do not plan on continuing this after my planned 10 weeks. I'm just experimenting and seeing what works for me. Some people may think this is silly, which is fair enough. But I believe that this won't affect my health in a major deleterious way; I have read multiple studies that have shown L-carnitine did not have major adverse effects [2; 4]. Now, they were all pharma grade, and mine is not, which I do agree is silly on my part.

@KettlebellKingpin you dont need to inject carnitine to lose bodyfat or lose weight, same for performance boost. It's just overplayed.
You should go with cardarine gw if you want the same results oral no injections.
I owe the forum a two day update. Came of my set of days on exhausted and i wasn't motivated to sit in front of the computer yesterday.

20mg Ostarine; L-carnitine 850mg IM
Notes:
Second night shift, out again all night, seems like this is turning into a trend recently. Second injection of L-carnitine into the dealt, virtually no PIP going to continue this for cut. Back training again tomorrow. I have noticed that my mood has increased dramatically, im feeling so energised and in a stellar mood. I had a similar experience the last time i took ostarine, but i also think my new vitamin regimen is helping to. Now time to add in some fibre.

Supplements:
20mg Ostarine; L-carnitine 850mg IM, 4IU NovoRapid SUB Q, 0.1mg Glucagon IM , 20mg Cardarine PO, 10mg SR9009 PO.
Notes:
Didnt get much sleep today after coming off night shift. I was obviously very fatigued with that minimal sleep, therefore i moved my HIT training day to today. I couldnt see myself performing in the gym on a upper body day with such minimal recovery. Added in 4IU of novorapid pre-workout yesterday alongside my L-carnitine to assist with accumulation in my muscles, i had a lengthy chat with a colleague at work about this and he got me onto this study [1]. Workout went really well i definetley felt the effects of the Cardarine + SR9009, the workout was tough for me but i felt like i had more in the tank then usual when i do these kind of workouts.
Update:
After listening to the Evolutionary Podcasts episodes #356, #485, #493 i will now be taking 20mg Cardarine daily rather then pre-workout only, with the purpose of achieving my goal of weight loss. I will be taking it every morning and i will add in my SR9009 with it pre-fasted cardio.

@Npcclassicphysique champ
