Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I tried this after I lost my McDavid version. I like this one better. First it just fits better for some reason and is much more comfortable. I'm 6'3" and 215lbs with 37" waist. Started working out again and thought I might as well use one of these again as I had good luck with the McDavid one. Be warned, if you wear this while you work out you will sweat a whole lot more and not just under the pad. It seems to heat up your whole body. Be especially careful when you take it off as it is elastic and covered inside with sweat and when you remove it you might end up splashing a bunch of sweat on the wall, the locker or anyone standing near you. I mean literally I cannot tell you how much sweat is under this thing after a 30 minute cardio work out. As for the Sweet Sweat gel sample. Dear lord does it make you sweat even more. Again, not just under the pad but your whole body. I only use the gel under the pad but it is just unreal how much more you will sweat. If you are one of those people who likes to work out then shower at home, forget about it, with this stuff it isn't a viable option. If I end up losing a ton of "spare tire" fat I'll update the review, but for now, it does make you sweat. Update 1/6/15 Have not lost a ton of weight, more like 5 lbs total, but from what I see in the mirror and what the wife sees, it looks like it is all fat from the waist area which is really my only problem area. Will update more as the weight continues to come off.
