Okay, quick update on the injectable carnitine @OdieM. It's super smooth, runs right through a slin pin with literally zero pip. I mixed it with my B12 on Saturday and went in just fine. It seems to give me a bit of energy for an hour or two after pinning it. So far, it's hard to gauge HOW much fat burning is going on, let's give it another week or two to gauge that. So far, so good.
This weekend was an AWESOME chest day on Saturday, and a great leg day on Sunday. The training partner gave up about 3/4 of the way in, so it was Han Solo for the rest of the workout. However, he did stay and provide commentary / comic relief... LOL. What is with people with legs, calves and abs? Why do they always quit or refuse to work them? Hmm.
For shits, here was the leg day that BROKE my partner:
Seated leg curl – On these do 3-4 good warm ups first. 3 sets of 12 near failure. On the 4th set do 12, drop the weight and do 8 (I reduced by 20%), and drop again for 8 more (another 20%). @Trapmonster this one is for you!
Leg press- This one was the beginning of the end for my partner, ha. Do sets of 8, after each set add 1 plate to each side, and do another set of 8. Keep working up each set until you can't get 8 anymore. At that point, you're going to do the most horrific drop set imaginable (well, not really). Do your 8 but each rep should be a pause rep this time (hold it in the at the bottom for 1 second then DRIVE up). After you've done 8 of those, take off 20% or so and hit another 6-8 pause reps. And again, take another 20% off and go to absolute failure, even get some partials in if you have a partner (I think I got 20 reps with another 12 partials). Ouch.
Machine squat- Again with this back supported machine. If you don't have it, smith squats should be fine with your feet out in front of you. If you can't do that, front squats are good too. We're trying to smash quads now. Work up to 3 sets of 8. On your 4th set, you guessed it, a drop set of 8, then 6 and another 6 using the 20% drop in weight each time.
Bulgarian split squats- Ladies and gents, this is where the partner quit. I did 2 sets per leg of this bullshit, and it fucking sucked. Drop set of 8 reps with an 8 second iso hold (hold it about half way up), then another 8 reps w/ 8 second hold and one more 8 reps w/ an 8 second hold, per leg. I did each leg twice.
Dumbell stiff legged deadlift- 4 sets of 8, focus on squeezing your glutes as you come up.
Calves-
Seated calf raise. I did 2 giant sets, 10 full range reps, 10 second hold, 10 partials, 10 second hold, 10 partials and another 10 second hold. Do that set twice and you're done!
This was one for the books guys, it really beat the hell out of me.
Have fun!I'll check back in a week. Good idea on mixing it with B12.
Peace out fellas. Should be back in a week. [emoji950][emoji160][emoji267][emoji1398][emoji322][emoji183][emoji41]
I have used the MIC blend in the past and really enjoyed it. Now I am using b12 and carnitine, so far, so good. Appetite is through the ROOF though@Wunderpus
How do you feel about the Lipotropic MIC mixes? They have B-12, Carnitine, as well as other
lipotropics.
M (Methionine) I (Inositol) C (Choline)
I've been planning on starting B12 inject. I need to boost my appetite. I guess I'll do some research on adding the Carnitine. Do you remember if you got the same appetite increase with the MIC?I have used the MIC blend in the past and really enjoyed it. Now I am using b12 and carnitine, so far, so good.

@Wunderpus thank you! I'm gonna start reading now![]()
To be honest, I really don't remember. It's possible, as this b12 seems to be. I'm not sure the carnitine has done anything for my appetite, but something is!I've been planning on starting B12 inject. I need to boost my appetite.

Zero lactation here!I've been reading this thread all day. Golden info here!
@Wunderpus I may end up dreaming of you and the rest of the boys here. As long as it doesn't involve lactating nipples, I should be fine lol
Carnitine continues to appear to be working. The issue is, I'm loading it with 10iu insulin at the same time. I might put on a BIT of soft weight during those two weeks, because I need to consume carbs pre, intra and post workout to avoid the side effect of death.... From what I understand, it isn't necessary to use insulin to "load" carnitine, it just speeds up the process.Very interested in how it goes with the B-12 and Carnitine inj. Never heard of this before, but down for anything to burn that last bit of fat. Im close Wunder... Im close[emoji123]
Not sure if I mentioned it! I have been doing it in my quads and delts (rear and lateral). I think you could pin it damn near anywhere though, it doesn't hurt a bit.@Wunderpus i apologize if you already mentioned and I over looked..... Which location are you pinning carnitine?
I switch it up, sometimes it's 8-10, sometimes 12-15. I will play with the volume a bit too, sometimes more sets, etc.What's the best rep range you've found for hypertrophy? Just curious I'm finding 12-15 seems to be doing better then 8-12

From what I know, which is limited compared to some, it is not localized in it's liposis.Cool, thanks. So its supposed to aid with fat loss regardless where you pin?

I'm strictly following the program of 200mg's a day w/ 10iu insulin, 30 minutes pre workout. So far, seems to be working. I have had a few comments already.
