Clown's MAX PUMP-age from FinaFlex

[clown007]

Thanks to FinaFlex and all the reps (especially RegisterJr) for giving me the opportunity to log Max Pump from FinaFlex.

I will be starting today with my first dose and will report back here after each workout.

Thanks again!

Legs today and a little more...

Started with 10 sets of Squats and Leg Extenions
5x205 / 5x60 tempo 5-0-5-0

Taken from Kleen Deadlifts and Bench Press
205x15, 10, 10, 5, 4
185x 8, 11, 7, 5, 5, 4
Exercises were alternated and completed as fast as possible.
This was a killer. Total time 8m 4s

Bulgarian Split Squats and Dips
5x10 each exercise in an alternating fashion.

Felt good and with the garage door open it was a beautiful day today.

Thanks again to Reg, Wasme, Turff and FinaFlex!

 

[turff49]

Oh my! Squats, deads, and bench! You'll feel this one!

 

[wasme]

must admit, he went for it on this one.. geeze

 

[clown007]

Going to be on a workout hiatus again for just over a week. Mom has another surgery to go through so I will be helping her out until she is back on her feet.

I will still be around AM though... Always able to sit on a computer for a minute or two

I will begin using Max Pump daily once I am working out consistently again. Hopefully the 20th at the latest!

I am hoping I may be able to get to a local gym while I am out at her place, but I will have to see if that is feasible.

 

[wasme]

Good luck to your mom brother!

 

[RegisterJr]

Prayers bro. Take your time

 

[clown007]

Back from my mom's after her surgery. All went well, so I will be working out consistently again starting tomorrow. I will be able to begin this log of FinaFlex Max Pump. Looking forward to giving this a go!

 

[wasme]

Glad to hear all went well!

 

[clown007]

Went for a jog today. Beautiful day in cool Toronto!

Got about 9.5km in so I was happy about that. Haven't run in ages so it was a nice start back. Tomorrow will be weights.

Took my first dose of Max Pump. wasme said it builds up in the system, so even though I didn't do weights today, I wanted to start the daily intake. I will be hitting legs and abs tomorrow and I generally get a good quad pump, so we will see how it is effected.

 

[wasme]

Nice run on ya! I am getting the itch to run... knees are feeling good, and lower back is pretty well back to normal for now..

 

[RegisterJr]

I am getting the itch to run...

Someone chasing you?

Why else would you WANT to run...

 

[clown007]

Someone chasing you?

Lol. I actually do like to run... though I am a fair-weather runner

Took Max Pump (4 capsules) before today's workout. Felt good and strong. Its been a week since my last workout, so I kept the weights the same as the last leg day.

Worked Legs today. Felt good to be back in the garage.

Legs today!

Back Squat ss/with Trap Bar Deadlifts 5 sets
245x5 / 325x5
The deads got pretty tough by the end

Leg Extensions ss/with Smith Stiff Leg Deadlifts 5 sets with a tempo of 5-0-5-0

70x5 / 155x8

Crunches ss/with Hanging Leg Raises ss/with Bulgarian Split Squats ss/with KB Swings
15 / 10 / 8 per leg / 20x55lbs
This quad set was for 4 rounds

 

[RegisterJr]

Solid squats and pulls man. Screw tempo SLDL. lol

I actually enjoy running when I do it consistently. Been awhile.

 

[clown007]

Lol, the tempo on those is killer. I wouldn't do any tempo stuff on regular deadlifts, but with the Smith machine its a little more stable and I can focus on the contractions. My hams, glutes and lower back were pumped up!

This summer I would like to do a few obstacle course races so I want to keep my running up to at least 5-10km distance. I need the weather to be nice though or I just won't do it!

 

[wasme]

It's prep for when the Bears come south my friend

 

[turff49]

Nickname - Running Bear?

 

[clown007]

Lol!

Today will be Chest and Back bear!!

 

[clown007]

This is the 4th day of Max Pump at 4 capsules.
Pump was definitely evident. I have always been complimented on my wide back, but I don't often feel a lat pump. Today was different. I am definitely getting pumps in them today. I am looking forward to the increased pumps as I get more into this product.

*felt good overall. A little stiff in the left shoulder and trap, so really tried to foam roll and stretch before and after.

The tempo master strikes again.

Gotta say I love the feel the increased tempo has on the muscle groups!

Makes your heavy weights even that much more impressive.

^^thats for sure^^

 

[wasme]

Nice session brother... I always find around the 5-6 day marker you will really start noticing strong pumps! So you are pretty much there... gotta love it

 

[clown007]

I worked Legs again...

Squats ss/with Leg Extensions (tempo 5-0-5-0)
255x5 / 60x5

Deadlifts
225x5
275x5
315x5

405x1
425x1
455x1

That was my limit. My left elbow couldn't take more weight.

Still happy with the weight, but I want to figure out what is up with my elbow.

 

[RegisterJr]

Impressive pulls man. Nice work.

 

[clown007]

Impressive pulls man. Nice work.

Thanks man. 455 has been my limit for a while now. My elbow just won't take more at this point.

Quads were blowing up last night. Max Pump is definitely in effect!

 

[RegisterJr]

That's nothing to balk at. It took me forever to pass 450 and that was with a program with specific deadlift days.

Thanks buddy.
I love deadlifting. Something very raw and primal about it.

Agreed. Probably my favorite.

 

[wasme]

Agreed. Probably my favorite.

Probably my least favorite.. keep f'n my back! lol

 

[clown007]

Back from my mom's place. She is still in critical care so I will be going to visit her daily, but I plan to hit my workouts to maintain my sanity!

Legs tomorrow!

 

[clown007]

I have been able to keep up with my Max Pump dosages so I am interested to feel the pump tomorrow!

 

[wasme]

Hope your mom's has a swift recovery.. and out of critical care before you know it.

 

[clown007]

Thanks man.
Funny thing... Brought her pets back with me to my house so I can look after them. Her dog is in my garage gym, because my wife is allergic. Well, the dog doesn't like to be alone, so I slept in the gym last night LOL. Looks like I will be spending even MORE time in the gym for the next several days. Less excuse to miss workouts

 

[RegisterJr]

Ha!

 

[clown007]

I guess I will have an impromptu spotter

 

[RegisterJr]

My dog would pounce on my at the bottom of squats or deads. lol

 

[wasme]

Dog will be on the treadmill

 

[clown007]

Got a good leg workout and severe pump last night thanks to Max Pump! Quads were on fire!

Squats superset with Trap bar deadlifts 5 sets
255x5 / 325x5

Leg Extensions superset with Standing Leg Curls 5 sets. Tempo for both was 5-0-5-0
60x 5 / 30x5

Crunches superset with Leg Raises
5 sets
15 / 12

Legs really felt this one. Deadlifts still feeling good. Happy about that.

 

[RegisterJr]

I tried occluded curl/extension superset with MP the other day and thought my legs were gonna blow.

Seriously? Occluded training?!!!! I have always been interested in that!
I bet they felt like they were enormous!

 

[RegisterJr]

They did. So far I've only tried them on those and arm curls/pushdowns. I think I'm going to keep doing the occluded stuff every other week or so. My hammys stayed jacked for like two days.

 

[clown007]

Yeah sounds interesting. What are you using to occlude the blood flow? How did it work for the arms?

 

[RegisterJr]

I used a red voodoo floss band. I only have one, so I'd superset one leg/arm then switch. I may try my wrist wraps next time and just ask someone to tie them off for me.

You know that painful part of the pump? That's what it felt like, but earlier in the set when you still have strength to keep going.

 

[clown007]

I can imagine how the pump would come on fast.

I will have to try with the voodoo floss as well then.
I think I'd stick with just one arm at a time. Working out alone I don't want to have issues getting them off after the sets.

I rigged mine with a quick release pull. You definitely want it off fast.
