[Celorza]

First up a HUGE thanks and shout out to Snag for this opportunity, brother you know I admire and respect you a lot and it means a lot you are letting me try this. The package also arrived with a pair of Head Phones from FinaFlex (which Is now my second pair since I bought the package with BCAA/SAA ). Much appreciated brother, now let's get this show rolling.

The idea:

-A capped Pre-workout with a 4 cap dosage 30 minutes prior to training.
-Stim Free
-Creatine Free

The goals:
-Increased Vasodilatation

-Enhanced Performance
-Increased Endurance

Ingredients:
-Top Secret and Unknown to me for now.

The workout Plan: (Training time is 6AM)

Diet: 140-150g protein , 200-300g carbs (workout days) and 60-70g fats

Supplemention:

-Omega-3's (2-4g of EPA/DHA a day)
-4 caps SNS Cissus-XT for my joints
-Occassionally I'll use Caffeine Free Focus-XT ONLY for my Late night classes and NOT as Pre-workout unless allowed by Snag, ScottyDoc or DreamWeaver, or any other Finaflex Staff.

Grading will be done as such:

FYI for all you BETA TESTERS... Even though our product will normally come with 120 caps lasting 30 days, our beta testers will receive 60 caps to be taken for 15 days as a trial run and will rate the product as follows: 1 out of 5, with 5 being the highest score possible...

Now let's see for today's workout it was Lower Body DE (Squat) and let's bring it up now with some numbers and pictures to let them talk for themselves.

Warm Up was around 5 minutes on the Bike.

Squat DE (Box Squat):

(Warm up)
-45x5
-45x5

Sets:
-135x3
-135x3
-135x3
-135x3
-135x3
-135x3
-135x3

Rest in between sets was around 40-60 secs, not letting it go over a minute at all. DE for me is mostly about speed work keeping the proper form and getting down to business with the bar. I perform it with 50-60% 1RM weight on the bar and last week my ME squat went up to 265 so I went up from a 125 DE to 135.

Hip/Hamstring Assistance: Suspended Good Mornings (these are usually my favorite ones, might throw up a video of them later)

-115x8
-135x8
-135x8
-135x8
-135x8
-155x6

Knee Extention Exercice: Leg Press, full ROM, I like a 4-1-1 tempo. The way I count it is 4 on the way down, dead stop and then a explosive 1 second up.

-2 plates x 12
-2 plates x 12
-2 plates and a quarter x 12
-2 plates and a quarter x 12

Ab movement 1:
Standing Cable Crunches
-80x20
-80x20
-80x20
-100x15 DS 60x20

Ab Movement 2:
Standing Oblique Crunches (Reps for each side)
-45x10
-45x10
-55x10
-55x10

Now pics were taken when I was done with my ab movements and also when I was out of the gym and at home (so around 8:45am), I had dosed the 4 caps around 5:35~am. What amazed me the most was what I had even an upper body pump and major vascularity signs even when I worked out all my lower body today.

Note: The greatest pump I did feel (and it surprised me as I didn't expect it to work upon the first day at all..) .was when I did the Leg Presses, where my quads were so pumped and my calf veins popping out so much that I actually considered...CONSIDERED...shav ing my legs for once just to enjoy the sight haha.

oooo 1st!

as for shaving the legs: you are not truly a man, until you lose the fur and show smooth skin

[PREracing25]

This will be good.

Here's the man of the hour! And yeah haha I might just have to trim the legs!

This will be good.

It started up nicely, didn't expect my shoulders and scapula to be so pumped even after I was done working out!

[PREracing25]

I had no doubt in my mind that finaflex would not produce something great.

[bean5er]

In bud! I can't wait to try this product hint hint snags!! ;-)

Looking forward to tomorrow's workout honestly. I need to test it out with HIIT and Upper Body exercises and that's tomorrow for me. It might give me a hint of what's in it !

[Celorza]

Ok Let's start up with the numbers Snag Style so I can make it easier and more objective to grade in the end.

-1 is lowest, meaning no effect whatsoever AND actually feeling it being counterproductive.
-2 is simply no positive effect in any sense.
-3 means no hindering in the workout and general sense of enhancing related with the aspect it's being graded.
-4 definite increase/liking in this aspect.
-5 "This must have Snag-Juice or Old-Fugger-Spiked-Sauce in here to make me feel this good!

Grading of 02/08

1) Vascularity/Pump (1-5) 5
It is odd for me to be so gracious and really just go all out 5 stars on something, specially being the first day and knowing it COULD be placebo...but I cannot understand these veins in my shoulders, the veins in my obliques and V cut and how it happened with such low volume and on a lower body DE day (thus less upper body interaction to trigger such effects)

2) Muscle Endurance/Stamina (1-5) 2
Didn't feel increase in endurance TODAY only, it is only the first day. However it did not hinder me at all and my workout was pleasurable.

3) Muscle Strength (1-5) 3.5
Strength was there completely, and I cut out my usual Pre-Workout C0cktail (usually it's SNS COP , Cit Mal , Agmatine Sulfate and sometimes APS Creatine Nitrate). That being said I will only be dosing Pump Maxx Beta for now, and without my usual concoction I still feel confident and a bit enhanced, again it could be excitement and the fact that I was motivated from the vascularity, but it is what it is, good.

4) Overall Physical Performance (1-5) 3
Again too soon to tell, but it did not hinder me at all and I did feel that certain motivational and quasi-enhanced factor

5) Overall Opinion of Product (1-5) 4.5
Honestly I am amazed for the product given that I am not at sub 10% BF and I still noticed nice vascularity even in a bloated state! I was literally impressed, and the Quadriceps pump and calf veins during the leg press were indeed something to watch and look forward too again!

-2 sets of Face pulls 70x15 , real slow negatives and a 1-2 sec contraction.



Grading of 02/09

1) Vascularity/Pump (1-5) 5
Again this time I was impressed by the pumps I was getting on my triceps after CGBP and also by the shoulder pumps I was still sporting outside of the gym.

2) Muscle Endurance/Stamina (1-5) 4
I did feel it helping in my AMRAP set of CGBP and I would give it a 5, but the pump is so massive it takes a while to recover before diving into another set.

3) Muscle Strength (1-5) 4
Helped keep up the super set of OHP and Pull ups, specially without feeling loss in strength or tightness in the lats.

4) Overall Physical Performance (1-5) 3
Felt good consistent effects from yesterday, it helps and my guess is that it gets better over time.

5) Overall Opinion of Product (1-5) 4.5
Not shabby at all, specially since it helped keep the pump/tightness in the scapula and traps during the brutal DE session. I just upped the weight on them since I did get a 205x1 paused bench so decided to start overloading my DE a bit more, previous was 105lbs so I upped the stakes by 10lbs.

Pics come in the next post, you guys can decide how good it is! Specially since I don't work for physique and it still shows some very nice vascularity and vasodilation. My main liking of this is that the recovery between sets leads me to believe it has some lactic acid buffering ingredient, and the pumps (being so prone to happening) and increased in-set endurance (referring to AMRAP set) lead me to believe it poses NO optimization or exogenous NO to my system. I would confirm this with HIIT but I was just called to go to a relatives house for some personal matters and thus HIIT will have to be later tonight or tomorrow morning :/. For now pics speak for themselves, specially the back poses since they were right when I got home to take a shower and leave.

Pics were taken at the gym right after the CGBP sets.

pics are great, that before & after of the back is impressive indeed
great tri pump and development my friend!

nicely described, extremely detailed..i cannot confirm nor deny what you say - all i can tell you is keep your feedback coming!

Psh now you are just making me blush with the development comment ! Also, you are such a classified tease!

Pace is more than required to keep the work to rest ratio specially when the load is smaller, even when using compensatory acceleration, one needs to push oneself to the limit!

[Ballesteri]

Welcome bro! Snags is a charismatic and amicable soul...he might just try to hook you up with it if you butter him up !

!

If you start with the butter up he may expect you to start the leg shaving

[Celorza]

I want to butter up and shave your legs my lord!

Well ain't that nice of you! Perhaps I might just let you, I have never done it before!
