Yah they advertise that they don't want the hard core guys .... fug them!!! I lift things up and put them down!!! Bam!!! Bam!!! cool :) They cater to the people who don't show up that's how they make there money. They need to sell 10, 000 memberships to a gym that holds maybe what 50 people... on average. Not too hard to do the math. There is more money to be made with people who don't follow through.. sad.

Been happening since women started frequenting the gym. That's when I started having some problems with gym management concerning my intensity in the gym. College gyms don't mind cuz they aren't commerclal.
 
I'm all done there anyway guys. Can't wait to crush back tomorrow.
 
I will monte. Had my ART chiro do some work on my back today and I feel really go so it should be a nice session.
 
Stay far away PRE and never look back. Nobody who is seriously content to stay at planet fitness deserves any more than what they have to offer them.

I go to the gym to lift weights; I'm still not sure what they use it for cuz getting diesel or shredded doesn't seem to be an acceptable practice there.
 
I know Hyde. Tomorrow is going to be a back wrecking fest at the gym. I'm pumped already.

Anyway I can see a big improvement in arm size already, so time to keep it going.

Very solid bud! Keep it up and keep eating big and clean. I cannot wait to eat!
 
First time doing Yates rows? I think I might have suggested those to you for your back? I can't remember. Anyways, AWESOME session big man!
 
I'm trying bud. I'm just glad I have a great bunch of AM brothers here. I ordered gut health, micro, and hemavol yesterday so I'm waiting on that currently. I'm excited about the gut health supplement.

I'm not that big monte. I never know if my weights are good for my size or not but I'm just focused on getting them higher. It was my second time doing Yates. Thanks monte.

Thanks snags. I'm just trying to do myself and finaflex justice. Great products that people need to give a chance to.
 
Yates row, Tbar rows, Wide grip overhand rows, db rows all good exercises for back thickness.
 
I was going to hit some seated low t bar rows but some dude was on the machine, it's ok next week I will.
 
I made the switch Hyde. From here on out it's just pure focus on fuggin lift heavy weights
 
Day 16 - 149.0 (+3.5lbs)

Well today was an awesome leg workout and I'm so happy to not be using a smith for squats anymore. However after Wednesday back workout my lumbar is all out of whack again. I am going to try and make an emergency chiropractor appointment today to get it readjusted and shocked lol. I smashed a squat PR, I had even more in me but did not want to push my back even more and after starting on the squat machine my legs were shaking in between sets.

Plated squat machine - similar to a hack squat machine but more vertical
90x10
180x10
180x10
270x6
180x6
90x10

Face down leg curl machine - this machine felt super uncomfortable for the inside and outside of my knee so this was short
70x10
70x6

Calf raises - my calfs were smoke when I started the drop
45x10
45x10
75x10
65x10
55x10
45x8
I really had to grind out the 9th and 10th rep

BB squat
95x10
135x5
185x5
205x3 PR

I followed this workout up with adductor machine work but my lumbar and hips are so out that I could not keep them in place and even.
 
Core is also starting to show and I'm feeling slightly fuller today.

Just trying to strengthen it. I have a appt later for it
 
Il give an update tonight after my chiropractic appointment.
 
So the result is the same, poaze muscle keep snapping tight and causing the lumbar portion of my back to go out of whack. My chiro gave me some stretches to do to see if we can get it to stop happening. So il be on top of this to see if I can prevent myself from getting injured anymore. On another note il leave you guys with a video to watch, this kid is nuts. Most of you guys probably know him or have seen this video but if you are like me then you had no clue.

Damn that's impressive, 775lb at 19?! Out if curiosity why do you do squats last? I have to do them first to get the most weight up and ensure I have good form.
 
I did not plan it that way, the rack was in use. But also it helped me get stretched out more because of my back. The plan next week is do them first. And my form I believe was still good, I just did not want to push anymore. Tomorrow is bench day.

And another note 775 at 19 and 198lbs oh yeah and natty.

this - i have long led off with squats..stretching out and a lil cardio warm-up is sufficient for my warms
PRE has an excuse lol..but, some ppl do like to do other exercises before squatting :shrug:
 
Not hating, cuz I have mad respect for that kid and anyone who moves big weight, natty or on juice. I most definitely could not do better. But just cuz somebody tests clean after a lift doesn't mean they are natural, despite claims.

He may be. Some ppl are crazy strong natty. But he could have just been off gear for many months leading to that lift, or cheated the test. Oil change anyone?
 
Trust me bud I drove a race car for 8 years. No need to talk to me about cheating and not lol.

Snags I'm going to be really stretching my poaz out and that should fix all my lower back issues. Il get my fiancé to help me later.

I will tell anyone who does not know what your poaz muscle is or where it connects to look it up and you will see why it will cause you problems if it tightens up.

:D

i think you mean "psoas muscle", but i wasn't gonna say anything

you're kinda cracking me up here..if i didn't already know what it was, i'd think you were referring to sphincter muscle or something lol (that one's pretty important too) :p

You got that right. Can't have a dysfunctional sphincter.
 
I knew I was spelling it wrong but I hate correcting myself lol. I'm tired.
 
Day 17 - 149.5 (4.0lbs)

First things first I am happy with the slow weight gain so far because mirror wise I'm getting bigger so the slow weight gain is good meaning alot of this is lean weight gain. Second thing I forgot to mention yesterday was after talking with my ART doc I informed him after my back day I foam rolled my lower back, after I said that he quickly told me never to foam roll your lower back all it will do is make your lower back worse and not better.

So I spent a good while stretch Pre and post workout to help my back and it is feeling better already. This was a really solid workout and my chest pump felt great. Only thing that felt off today was my bench but anyway here it is.

BB flat bench press
95x10
135x5
135x5
65x15 - 3 sec pause at chest

Flat DB bench press SS flat DB flys
30x10 - 10x10
35x10 - 15x10
40x10 - 15x10

Seated machine fly - chest was smoked after this.
55x10
70x10
85x10
100x7

Seated chest press machine
4 sets

Front raises with BB
2 sets bar only

Long stretch and wide grip push-ups.
 
I never knew that about the foam rolling of the lowet back. What kind of stretches are you going exactly?

Those 2 for the most part.

Here is a picture of the muscle for people who don't know, and mine snapping tight you can see why I'd be in alot of pain.

Right off before I start anything I want to thanks the guys from finaflex, Kleen, Dreamweaver, ScottDoc, Snags, and Palmfist for giving me this opportunity. This is a semi-sponsored run in the which the sponsored products are 1-alpha and PureTest.


We will start with some back ground information about myself.


24 years old, been lifting aggressively for the past year and off and on for the past 5. I finally got my diet in check about a year ago and have been feeling better and better everyday. I finished up my first cycle of finaflex 1-andro back in December and had a nice gain of 19lbs, I did however pick up a good chunk of BF so since then I have scaled my caloric and carb intake back some and have dropped a fair bit of that extra BF that I gained. I'm currently 5'8 and floating between 145 and 148. I know there will be some that will come in here and say you need to gain some weight first blah blah blah, your more then welcome to your opinion but you can take it elsewhere. I'm currently holding my calories in between 2300 and 2700, proteins at 200+, Fats below 50, and carbs right around 100. Alot of my protein intake comes from shakes between 2 and 3 a day but that's not saying I'm not eating protein it just gives me that extra boost to hit my mark.


Body stats:
Starting weight: 146
Right Bicep (unflexed): 11 1/4"
Right Bicep (flexed): 13 1/8"
Left Bicep (unflexed): 10 5/8"
Left Bicep (flexed): 12"
Waist measured right above hip bones: 31 7/8"
Right Quad (unflexed 8in. Above center of knee cap): 20"
Right Quad (flexed 8in. Above center of knee cap): 20"
Left Quad (unflexed 8in. Above center of knee cap): 19 3/4"
Left Quad (flexed 8in. Above center of knee cap): 19 3/4"


Cycle layout:
Product - Dose - length - Split
PNI Thermadex - 1 cap - 60 Days - Pre workout
FinaFlex 1-Alpha - 4 caps - 60 Days - 2 caps AM, 2 caps PM
FinaFlex 550xd - 4 caps - First 30 days - 2 caps AM, 2 caps PM
FinaFlex Epi-V - 3 or 4 caps - Last 30 days - 2 caps AM, 2 caps PM
Perform - 4 caps - 60 days - 2 caps AM, 2 caps PM
FinaFlex G8 - Half Scoop - 60 days - Right before bed 5 on 2 off
FinaFlex PCT Revolution Black - 1 cap - if needed - Pre bed


PCT
Torem - 120 for 3 days/90/60/30 - 4 weeks - night
FinaFlex PCT Revolution - 2 caps - 4 weeks - night
Perform - 4 caps - 4 weeks - 2 caps AM, 2 caps PM
FinaFlex Pure Test - 6 caps - 6 weeks - 3 caps AM, 3 caps PM
FinaFlex Ignite 2 - 1 scoop - 4 weeks - Pre workout


PCT black will only be used on cycle if I have any estrogen related sides. PureTest will be started one week before PCT. I will also be running a multi vitamin, probably talos and Achilles. I am going to try and be more in depth with my work outs. Plan right now is Monday thru Friday.


Monday - 5 minute warmup then biceps and triceps
Tuesday - 5 mi ute warmup then back and shoulders
Wednesday - 45 minutes cardio
Thursday - 5 minute warmup then legs
Friday - 5 minute warmup then chest


Goals:
My plan is to gain only lean muscle and lose as much body fat as I can while gaining said lean mass. I think this will be a fun ride. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I am going to.

Quick question for theFinaFlex reps or anyone with any knowledge.

Is that many caps necessary? Or healthy?

I know the bottle says 2-4 a day, but when you stack 2 bottles together it do you double the dose to 4-8 a day?

Just seems like an awful lot.

Also, would there be any benefit whether it be great or small to running 1 bottle of finaflex in a 30 day period?

Thanks.

Andrew
 
The further advanced you are you can run higher doseing in my mind. It's not methylated so that's a positive in itself. Sure you can run one bottle I'm sure you will see something. Will it be alot no but maybe just a alittle yes.
