NICE workout! I havent done inverted rows in while. I have back/bis today also so I might hit that

 

[Montego1]

Indeed good work. Inverted rows reminded me how much I like rack chins......noted.

 

[bean5er]

Been forever since I've done them as well. Going to throw these In tomorrow for fun.

 

[pete8407]

Thanks guys, I love inverted rows, I use some variation every back day

 

[wasme]

I usually use them to get my back all warmed up.

Haha! I'm getting all these ideas from the MI40 workout. There's a week where everyday there's giant sets for the body part your training.

My math correct there??

 

[pete8407]

I guess, it sounds good to me.

Ok here was my leg session from this morning. I think I'm between 3/4-1 full/level scoop of Stimul8 just because it's was 5am and I was damn tired. But not after about 20 min of Stimul8 in the bloodstream!

Giant set! I did this 4 times

Leg ext-90x15 reps
Lying Leg curl-90x8 reps
Bench squat-135x8 reps
Bench split squat-bodyweight x 8 reps per leg
Lunges-bodyweight x 9 reps per leg
Toe elevated standing calf raises(together)-bodyweight x 30 reps
Plate squat-45x10 reps
Bench front squat-135x8 reps

Hack squat-ss-toe elevated standing calf raises(separate)-3 sets
-135x10-ss-15 reps per leg
-185x9-ss-15 reps per leg
-185x9, drop to 135x10-ss-15 reps per leg

Then went straight into plate squats again
2x45x10
5 sec rest I between sets

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Leg got slammed huh?? Mine are sore as fuk from yesterday

 

[pete8407]

I can already feel them, tender.

 

[wicked442]

You are just all "go" dude. Fawkin rocket fuel called Stimul8 anyway

 

[pete8407]

These giant sets are fun! You don't need much weight at all.

 

[wasme]

I know you have been running these high volume workouts for a while now. Have you noticed a difference with rest times, sweat, and peak energy with Stimul8 as apposed to other pre's? I ask because I know when using FST-7 which ended up being very high volume - I couldn't adhere to the rest times prescribed (always got back under the bar quicker) and always had something left in the tank at the end.

Oh yes definitely, my rest times are non existent and MI40 always has between 30-40 sec rests, most of the time I can't make it to these times! The sweat, my basement is quite cold right now and normally even with high intensity workouts I don't sweat that much but I do have to say that I've been sweating a lot more recently, which makes me feel even more accomplished when I'm done. The energy, like I said before hits me quick, even though my body has gotten used to stimul8 it still hits me really good. I know within 10 min I'm ready to go! Stimul8 compared to other pre's, I really can't compare it, it's so different. The stim effect is very smooth, it's compared to SpeedX3 and XcelleratorX I think. The actually energy you get from Stimul8 isn't comparable to anything I've tried, It's just different. I'm trying to put words on it, the best phrase I can come up with is "if you decide to take Stimul8 you better be ready to do work!" The motivation, drive and focus I get blows everything out of the water. No other pre can compare to the short rest times at all. When you say there's always something left in the tank, that's an understatement for me. I never want to quit my workout, I'm always thinking of the next exercise! I literally have to force myself to quit most the time. This alone is a seller in my book! This sh!t is crazy! But in a great way.

Couldn't agree more. It's a home run all the way around.

 

[RegisterJr]

Pretty accurate (early) review Pete. It funny you compared it to Sx3, my former #1 prior to trying stimul8. Different beasts though.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Told you Stimul8 puts you into orbit! Ignite2 and Stimul8 are both effective PWOs in my arsenal. Nice workout BTW!

 

[pete8407]

Totally different. Sx3 is a great pre for sure but I agree with you Stimul8 takes the cake for sure! It will be nice to switch between the two.

 

[pete8407]

Yes you were right, it's some potent stuff. I'm going to hit up some guns today, hopefully get a great pump going!

 

[wasme]

With all that volume I am sure those guns will be ripping through the skin.

Do you throw 21's in at the end, or the 100 rep curl? (can't remember)

I did something a little different today with the BB reverse grip then right into normal grip for 30 rep sets and a 5 sec breather before the next set.

 

[bean5er]

Agree here. Stimul8 is purely in its own category. I was Sx3 junkie b4.

Told you Stimul8 puts you into orbit! Ignite2 and Stimul8 are both effective PWOs in my arsenal. Nice workout BTW!

Yup on the ignite2 just started my first ever tub. Very good and completely different pre.

 

[pete8407]

Ok, I took Saturday off from lifting cause I had so much to do. But I got a nice one in on Sunday and of course this morning.

Back and hams

Wide grip pull-ups-ss-overhand, like holding a BB dual DB rows

Lying leg curl-ss-wide grip(pinkies touching collars)ez bar row-ss-hanging leg raise(toes to ceiling)
4x45x15-ss-4x65x12-ss-4x5 reps
No rest either.

Finished with 1 set of ez bar 21's at 65lbs

Today was shoulders and triceps

Seated DB lat raises
4x20's x 12
Every set had a drop set where I would go down to 10's till fail which was around 10-12 reps

Bent over DB rear delt raises
Exact same as the seated side laterals with the drops

Standing 1 arm leaning DB lat raise-ss-ez bar upright row
4x20's x 12 per arm-ss-4x65x12

Standing BB press-ss-standing DB press
4x95x12-ss-4x20's x 10

Standing wide grip ez bar overhead tri ext
4x65x15

Ez bar skull rusher press combo(I lower the bar slowly to my forehead, about 5 sec negatives then move my elbows down to sides and press the bar up, then lower slowly back down again)
4x75x10
These burn like hell!

Dips
4x10 reps

Susp sys overhead tri ext-ss-bench dip with feet on exercise ball
4x10 reps-ss-4x12 reps

I do want to add the the same stim effect that I got at the beginning isn't there but all the other factors are like focus, intensity, etc. I'm alert and wide awake but no crazy stim feel. It's actually cool that it switched a little and is crazy smooth. I still feel the energy now and it's almost 2 in the afternoon and I took my scoop around 7:30 this morning!

Interesting skull crusher to press lifts! Have to be careful to not slip and really crush the skull! Lol. Beast volume brother. SMHS

Thanks man, I've never seen this movement either but it's in the MI40 workout. I am not doing the workout exact cause I can't do some of the exercises that he wants you to do cause I lift at home but I try to replace them the best I can.

Will have to look up the MI40 as it's time for a change in my routines.

 

[pete8407]

Ok I forgot to post this. I received this last week! What do you guys think?

It's a large, fits perfect but it isn't what I thought. On the website it's white with black logos. I'm just trying to decide if I like the light blue. I emailed Finaflex the same day asking if there are different colors but no response. Not sure what to do. Maybe some of the reps can help me out.

 

[pete8407]

Here's the pic from the website

 

[joh408]

I like the blue. Looks like a nice lightweight sweatshirt for warming up but I'd have to cut out the sleeves or something. Looks pretty damn tight

 

[wicked442]

I was checking that out too. I like the black,but would wear either one. I got the Freak shirt comming along with some ALC/CLA.

 

[joh408]

Helluva workout Pete. I just found MI40 and gave it a good look over. Kinda confused on the NOS sets but I just gotta read a little more. The skullcrusher to press seems like a good one. I used to do a variation of that. Usually start with a skullcrusher and then once elbows are straight bring it to the chest for a close grip bench press.

 

[pete8407]

It t-shirt material, very light weight. It fits super good too. The sleeves cut off would be sick!

I have a gray freak shirt, there awesome!
