1 mile on the treadmill at 4.5 mph

Yesterday I walked 3 miles @ 3.5 mph took about 55min. Todays chest workout I didn't feel went as well as previous ones. I had trouble today stretching the muscles I was aiming for. I felt like I was supporting a lot of the weight with my triceps...which are suffering from DOMS from the other day. Got a gig tonight should be a good one!
 
Not much going on today. I am going to take a rest day and clean up around the house a bit. Experiencing some DOMS after yesterdays chest workout...feels pretty good.

Enjoy your rest day bro! I took mine yesterday, well not much of a rest still had to put time in at my plant but didn't hit the gym. Feel pretty refreshed and ready to crush the weights today!
 
Well got the news back that I did not make the cut for the FD job...Morale is way down. I didn't have the motivation to lift legs today so I just walked for a half hour at 3.5mph. Tomorrow I will get my legs in and hopefully stop beating myself up over this thing.
 
In for Picts Brotha, you in this still, you gonna give us a run for our money, surprise us all because you didn't submit picts last week and blow us all out of the water, with a big Hahaha?

Man I'm sorry to hear that!! I know how demoralizing it can be as it took me three attempts to get into my mines rescue role but perseverance is the key man! Don't give up on it and it will happen!

Damn Bro, I'm just now seeing this, didn't see it when I made my last post, sooo sorry Bro, I know how disappointing that can be, but my advice to you is do not stop trying, they do look to see who really wants it by reapplying again and again, so just get back up on that Fugging Horse and go at it again, if it is what you want to do, never stop trying!!!

Sorry to hear that as well bro! I hope you fight it again, cause it will make you stronger. I know all of us here were pulling for you!!
 
Sorry to hear you weren't selected bro. Like others mentioned don't give up! I know you worked your a$$ off to get it but never lose faith man!
 
Thanks for all the support gentlemen. I am pretty bummed, but I am trying to be optimistic about it. I will just continue to push on here...nothing gained...nothing lost.

Yah I get this all the time, on the weekend when I did my pics I was all down on myself on Sunday for showing up with water on my abs for my pics, I was all doom and gloom about the loose skin... then yesterday I cleaned right up and my abs are tighter than ever ... go figure. Just keep on grinding and the world will turn.
 
I am still following my my PCT regimen, I have also added in 6 caps of Crea-Trona (Creatine) daily, 1 scoop of Ignite 2 (pre-workout) and 1-2 cap(s) of PX-500 (appetite suppressor/energy). I am experiencing a HUGE increase in appetite suppression due to the PX-500

Trained back today. I may have overdosed my Ignite as I was really light headed towards the end of my session and had to lighten up on weight.

Yah that happens ... I still take only a level scoop, when I took a rounded one it was too much for me...
 
light headed oh oh been spiking it with some hunch punch again lol be safe bro it's hot as hell down here and been feeling the same latley.
 
I have been really crushing the weights the last 2 days. I am experiencing severe DOMS! I think this is the only protocol where I actually feel the muscle break down after every training session...unbelievable. As for the light headedness...Pretty sure I OD on the Ignite...whoops!

Nice job on getting back on schedule with the training and killing them weights bro! I was feeling the same muscle breakdown every workout for almost two weeks after my short deload when I entered pct. It felt amazing to be sore for so long straight though because while "on" I literally never felt sore!
 
Oh oh TG getting that feeling again lol glad to see your back to feeeling good!! Hope all is well and that you had a good weekend. It's so friggin hot here I'ma load up and move to Iceland.

Nice log bro. So what's your conclusion on finaflex 550 xd? Would you recommend it?
Click to expand...

He's on a break some issues with personal life... but I know for a fact that he just loves 550, he had tremendous results...
 
No worries and no rush, he'll write up a good review when he gets the time!
 
Just viewed everything on these post. Quick question. This is my first run of Finaflex 550xd black i ran 1 bottle of the original 550xd and got AMAZING results!! With the black I purchased 2 bottles. In your opinion should I run it like you with 4 a day over 30days or should I run it 3 a day for 40days or bottle directed. Im looking to get the best results as possible.
