Staying safe and strong with Lecheek

[thebigt]

I'm thinking I will rest up for a couple of days. I got some super cissus coming, so hoping that helps

cissus should be a staple for us 'older' guys!!!

 

[niners4reggie]

I've heard great things about it. If it helps it will be a staple along with ZMA. I really like that as well!!

Is for me

That's awesome because this pain sucks. I really feel it in my forearms on curls.

good thing is it works fast!!!


get the cissus start high, take a few days off and when you lift again should be some relief already...it is inexpensive enough to dose a few times a week continously!!!

an ounce of prevention.........

Exactly. I'm only 22, but with all the powerlifting I do my joints get the brunt of it, and I'd like to be able to move when I'm 50 (well, at that). Glucosamine & Chondroiton at 1500mg & 1200mg, respectively, e/d. At least 6g fish oil daily, and just added 3g bulk cissus powder daily, all split in 2 doses. Makes a big difference, and I'm hoping keeps me in the gym longer and stronger later on.

 

[niners4reggie]

What the hell was I thinking. I should've gotten cissus long ago. I knew about it but didn't honestly know if it really worked.

Hopefully OUR joint armor will be out soon

Can't wait!! Lecheek IMO is a great company and everything I've tried from them has been top notch!!

 

[niners4reggie]

Per Eric Broser I'm switching my training days from 4 on 1 off to 2 on 1 off, so today is an off day. Going to let these old joints heal up a little and let the cissus work it's magic.

 

[niners4reggie]

I have been sitting here all day trying to talk myself out of taking today off. Damn I'm a sad case lol

 

[Hyde]

Just go for a walk if you need to stretch your legs. Don't run, no cardio, no HIIT. Just enjoy some fresh air or spend some time with the wife if you can. But use your off time for something you normally don't have the time for if you can, that's what I do! You grow when you rest and eat boss.

 

[niners4reggie]

Thats great advice my friend!! I'm going to pack supper and walk with my daughter to the park and have a little picnic.

Ya I love heavy bag work! I was training to fight but once I started my bulk a couple months ago I put the fighting on hold.

Nice! At that age if they even acknowledge you exist is a blessing! Lol. Nice numbers btw.

Agreed my man! I only get her on weekends and we are usually so busy we don't get much 1 on 1 time so this will give us something we can do together, just the two of us. She wants to get into MMA training as well and I'm perfectly fine with that!!

Fat burner mode level 6 for 2 minutes then level 8 for 13 minutes. Average hr 163
Stair climber level 6 for 2 minutes then level 8 for 5 minutes. Skipping a step each time. Not sure what my avg hr was as I think that part was broken. It said it averaged 183 but that can't be right.

I like how 'Offday' in Reggie's book is to jump up f'ing stairs after beating up a heavy bag and jumping rope for time. I need to step up my offday game lol

Lol I was kinda pissy when I went and I want to shred up for summer so that combination pushed me through.

Got a blizzard going on here. Kicked us out of the gym even. Wanted to train chest and get some more cardio in but mother nature decided against it lol. Did get a good chest day in though. Went a little lighter again and really focused on the negatives.

Flat BB Bench
135x10
245x10
265x8
275x4
265x7
225x10

Decline flys
50x12x3

Decline BB Bench 8 second negatives
135x10
165x10x3

Cable cross low to mid to high=1 set
25x10 per x3

My elbow starting hurting again I think it may have been from the slow negatives. The cissus has been working great so far though. Not noticing any loss in strength so far and weight has stayed pretty close. I weighed myself pre training and was at 186

 

[kenpoengineer]

Nice bench numbers for negatives. Those kill my elbows as well. Are you adding in glucosamine with the Cissus? I add this to my iForce Joint Help and it really makes a pain free difference.

Thanks bro! Haven't added any glucosamine yet but that's not a bad idea. I've been feeling great the last couple of days, but tend to forget my age and push it a little much sometimes lol

 

[niners4reggie]

I felt like a puss on decline bench, only doing 165, but taking the 8 seconds through the negative gave me an awesome pump!!
