I am in recovery mode after a long time of hampering my HPTA so the goal here is obviously for me to retain my size perhaps recomp or drop a little fat and get stronger all while my HPTA is recovering. Call it a PCT with Purpose!

ALL-STAR FINAFLEX LINE UP!!!!



DAMN STRAIGHT THAT IS A NICE RECOVERY STACK!

I will be taking these as listed here.

CreaTrona powder or caps - 3 grams pre workout pn lift days this will more than likely be the powder if not then 6 caps. I will take some more strategically during carb intake.

IGNITE-2 Berry Blast - 1 scoop per day, either pre workout or pre cardio. As you probably already know this is our Pre-Workout formula it has Aminosterone a form of DAA that is much potent than regular DAA. It also has our patented form of creatine CreaTrona! The reason for it being taken daily is to serve as part stimulant and partially for the DAA kick.

PURE TEST - 6 caps a day - We all know this is for the Testosterone boosting it is our capped DAA product. 6 caps = 3 grams of DAA.

PCT Revolution Black - 1 cap a day - This stuff is a strong Aromatase Inhibitor and I am rather sensitive to it in my joints so I stick with 1 cap most of the time. If I notice I need to increase this I will.

ALC+CLA - 2-3 Caps 3 times a day. This should help me with loss of body fat a bit, CLA has been proven to cause fat loss around the midsection on people with no changes in diet nor exercise. Add it to the ALCAR and you have a really nice non stim fat burning combination.

SHELL SHOCK- BOOM! 1-2 servings post lifts if used during the evenings. This is our recovery drink, a nice mix of extremely fast and slow digesting carbohydrates with all the goodies you would expect out of a cell volumizing recovery drink.


Okay so the plan is to use the Wendler's 531 strength program to keep me strong, and also to put a little more pressure on the the arms with heavier weights. I notice that most powerlifters have great arms and shoulders so I figure this will be a great way to see if my arms respond well to the lower reps. I know they used to grow pretty well when I was lifting in the 4-8 range and mostly around 6. I will be doing a combination of the Big But Boring accessories and the Triumvurate accessories schedule. I will be doing a 4 day a week schedule as long as my elbows are not having any issues otherwise it may go to a 3 day a week schedule.

Remember for this one my goal is to maintain my mass + build strength first and foremost. I may lean up a tiny bit but this will in no way be a cut for me. I am 215-216 in the pics below. I have a little post Thanksgiving Vacation weight on me but these pictures were taken last week 11-27-12 at the beginning of my 531 program.

Yes Sir and an oral run right before it so all in all the boys have been "laid off" for about 10 months. Also running the other necessary ingredients to come back from a lay off like that as well but we won't talk too much about that here. I won't get into it or give a SERMon abot the need for these products. ;)

Definitey I am on week 2 and as of right now I am LOVING IT!!!!

I can't promise it will always be this detailed but I hope so. I have been tracking my lifts and what not in myfitnesspal with my nutrition and it gives me that nice little report if I want it. So when i update there I can copy and paste here. :)

As far as being waterlogged these are my pre Thanksgiving pics to give you an idea of the damage I did over vacation. Only 12 days... LOL However thanks for the compliment regardless.


In. Good luck bro
Thanks!

Here we go!!!
Yes Sir this is gonna be a fun one. At least for me.

Long time no see, Chris! I've been super busy on a lot of other forums so I haven't been around here much but I'm going to try and drop in every now and then and check on my buddies here. Will be following good friend!
Awesome Rick, good to have you in here when you have a chance to pop in.

In the House that Kleen built :)
Welcome Sir!
and again, welcome!

Definitely in for this - great details
Thanks!

Update to follow shortly I need to update my last two workouts first.

Hey Kleen, Snags, & DW... you guys really wanna shake some sh!t up and run an in-house FINAFLEX contest amongst us REPs after the New Year, when everyone will be looking to recomp, etc. Ideas welcome, I know I can get the owners to sport a worthy prize to the winner??? I mean no pressure, I just know it always draws a good crowd (everyone loves a good competition) and it always personally drives my incentive to push that much harder, so for me it is a win as soon as I begin! Sorry Kleen, didn't mean to Snag your thread with Dreams of a contest/competition!

Definite improvement on the Standing Military, I believe that is indeed a PR!
Chins hit 41 total in 6 minutes not too bad at all for being 218 when I trained.
Standing Barbell Curl was actually an EZ-Bar Curl, biceps were insanely full and tight!
I was sweating like I had been running from someone! Once I got through the heavy sets I kicked the speed up a notch for the rest of the workout.

Exercise Notes

Today was a good day. I may need to come back to change a couple weights on the Dead Lift I decided that the original program had estimated my 1 rep max too high after doing the last workout so I used what a different 531 sheet figured me as and it went better but was still using the print out from the first and forgot to write some of it down. I did however get the 440x6 no bounce from the bottom either set it down to full stop each time.

I will be changing my accessory work around sometimes extra sets of main lift, sometime completely different exercises just kind of working those as i see fit. As of right now it is going to go back and forth between this set up here and doing 5 sets of adductors with the ab work.

I didn't mention but I used the Ignite 2 last night and was still able to fall asleep last night but it gave me a great workout. Major pumps I just completely enjoyed it. Lots of sweating too. This morning was a repeat performance. I am putting in 3 grams of CreaTrona powder in with my preworkout drink also.

You know Al, I don't even know what contest we could even think about. A transformation contest, well YOU LOSE you are already around what 6% maybe less? It would have to be something none of us were doing already as a past time to see how well we could improve or something... Any suggestions I might be open for it. As of right now from what you and Doug have said Steve and I are the only ones that have much to loose and Steve has less than I do. So a transformation probably ain't gonna work. Heck not even sure I will do much to alter my path towards a contest next year.

Oh yeah GoHard,
I ain't skeered of the big bad Al... I give him props that is for certain, but if this contest pits me against my pal, then he gets the hook and curtain...

Sorry someone said I should rhyme all the time... :bigok:

I have a great idea though. How about we do a HUGE Transformation Contest for FINAFLEX for our consumers here on the forum. Something like a New Years Resolution contest to go with our up and coming formulations of PX!

Yes probably about a month after PCT completes. My doc will want a full workup and that includes liver values and what not. SERMS are known to increase liver values, and I want to make sure my HDL/LDL has had time to correct itself. One month out should give me an accurate reading on what my HPTA is doing. I am hoping for close to 500 when tested if so I will be confident in having a full recovery. I did use HCG for 5 weeks leading up to stopping the TRT doses. My testes went from damn near missing to about 3/5 normal size. Now the SERMS and SUPPS need to stimulate my LH for a bit. PURE TEST should really help with leydig cell production which is going to be of massive benefit in the process. That and keeping Estro low between the SERMs and PCT Rev Black is a bad Mamma Jamma as far as estro control

Haha I've been doing a joint mechanic log for mst over the last month. Ill be going back to that log next week.
Oh ok I will be on the look out for the posts coming up there. I thought I had subscribed to the Joint Mechanic one too. Of course sometimes subscriptions fall off around here.

Yeah it is pretty intense. I like it.

ahaaa nice. :cool2:

:p
No Sir, I don't wan't any of that. I will be looking to lean down a bit then, not trying to do it right now. I mean I will probably get back around 210 but no plans to drop lower for a little bit.

Okay sorry for the lack of update yesterday. I was extremely busy at work. I did not get to lift yesterday but it worked out because today is one of the IT guys birthday and we are having chocolate cake after our lunch. Thank Goodness I am not on a cut! Lets start with a weight update, I was a heavy 215 a little over a week ago very thick in the waist from my vacation. I have come back down to a normal 210. Admittedly I do not look as lean as I did in the 210 picture just above but I think I am just not as full as I was then or something. My goal is to remain over 205 throughout this experience. YOu will definitely see plenty of fluctuations depending on my carb intake and I will be modulating between higher and lower intakes. The highest will probably a couple of weeks at 200 grams per workout day and average will be around 100-150 per workout day. I will have some times where I hammer calories for a day or two to keep leptin levels up also. If I feel I need some clean up I will drop it low for a week and be under 50 adjusting fat intake to make up for it. I will probably post up some pictures in the next couple weeks, not much going on there we are more working on body weight maintenance and hopefully some strength gains.

Morning doses of supps
CreaTrona Powder - 3 scoops = to 6 caps of CreaTrona for those wondering.
Ignite 2 - 1 scoop
Extend - 2 scoops pre workout also, 2 in the intra workout beverage and 2 post. Not exactly the IF method of not having more than 10 grams but I am okay with it. I have been doing it this way for a while now and like it. ;) I am actually probably going to stop the intra dose and stick with the pre and post dosing pattern to be honest.

Here is my food for the day yesterday and then my lift this morning.

Diet looks solid. Nice job on the bench PR bro! Watch out though I'm nipping at your heels. I have chest tomorrow so we shall see! Nice dips as well, especially at your weight man.

Yeah you are definitely nipping at my heels on bench. I think 2 weeks ago I might have powered through this a bit more, that or if I had worked out at night. I seem to be stronger in the evenings... The test has been out of my system for a full week and I can feel it this week. Glycogen retention is down, libido is down a bit and I am relatively agitated from the SERM but give me another week and see where I am. I am still on target for my big goals, and after 10 months on a cruise I don't expect this is going to be an easy or snappy PCT. So it will be fortitude and attitude for the first 2-3 weeks.

On thing to mention... My joints are already drying out. I am now taking my Animal Flex pack again as of today. Should remedy it pretty quickly then I also have a deload coming up the week after next so that will be good. During the deload I will do 3-5 sets of the main exercises at 50% of my max for 10 reps then go walk on the treadmill for 30-45 minutes.

Holy crap it is just later in the same day and I can feel my joints getting dryer and dryer. I took the stairs a little bit ago and could feel it in my knees, on top of that the arthritis in my shoulders is flairing up. I think it is from taking Lean Extreme and my cortisol being low, add to it that PCT Revolution Black is also a pretty strong cortisol blocker and I think I may have the culprit. I will drop the Lean Extreme a couple days to see if it everything chills a bit.

I can't even mess with cort blockers because of this and any AIs are run at bare minimum doses as well.

Yeah I think I am basically going to realize I am in the same boat... I thought maybe I did something wrong with my shoulders but then my knees started and sure I dead lifted on Tuesday, but no way that would be effecting me all the sudden. Adding in the PCT Rev Black and Lean Extreme are the only things I have done. Makes sense really with what the Doc told me about the arthritis if there is nothing to control the swelling it will hurt. It isn't horrible but I won't push through just to show fortitude either. I can do without the Cort control but it is nice when trying to not lose muscle in PCT. I may not need it anyway since I probably has some test going from the HCG just not much.

My joints are ok, as a matter of fact I have been front squatting without knee wraps but that will change as I do lower reps at heavier weight. I do have a pull or tear in my front delt but it's very easy to work around so far.

I have a spud DL belt. It's awesome. Good quality durable and more comfortable for high rep squats but obviously less support. I use mine as a sled waist harness as well. Definitely recommend all spud products Marc does a great job with them.

Only problem I have with mine is size. It was fine when I was larger. Now with a smaller waist it isn't as tight. You can email Marc or ask on QA on Elite about sizing the belt. He is very helpful.
