Getting my joints lubricated with Flexible

pete8407 said:
Ok guys today I was feeling good enough to workout. Didn't go crazy but a nice lite arm workout to get me back into the swing of things. Even though I lowered the weights my elbows felt great and it wasn't till the dips at the end of the workout that would give the test if Flexible has kicked in. It definitely has, my elbows felt oiled up. No pain or discomfort which is normally there when I do dips. This stuff is great! I'm going to keep dosing at 8 caps a day for a little bit and see if I can drop down to 4 caps a day like a couple of the other guys and keep the same results. Incline DB curl 3x25's x12 Incline close bench 3x95x10 Ez bar curls 3x65x10 Slight incline skull crusher 3x65x12 Preacher 3x70x12 Ez bar reverse grip overhead ext 3x45x15 One big set DB Hammer curl 1x25's x 12 Dips 8 reps DB curls 1x25's x 12 Dips 8 reps BB curl 1x45x20 Dips 8 reps Ez bar 21's 1x45x21 Dips 8 reps No real stopping in between exercises, it was a great workout for me to start back up after the last two days I've felt like hell and could barely walk.

I like that giant set at the end. Today is my arm day as well. Might steal some of your wo. Good to see you feeling better.

Ugh I hate 21s!! I get tendonitis in my elbow if I do to much bicep work with barbell and 21s are excruciatingly painful for me. They give a great burn in the bi though!!

Damn good work dude!! I love inverted rows too, such a great exercise
 
I actually did back again today. Not really sure just wanted to hit it again.

Wide pull-ups
4x8

Chins
4x8

Hammer pull-ups
4x8

Bent over dual DB row
3x35's x 10
I dropped the weight cause I wanted to try a different approach. Kris Gethin did this in one video I remember where the DB motion was swing/arch type movement all the way up and obviously bring your elbows as high as you can take them. I could only get 10, it made a huge difference. I will up the weight next week. I liked it a lot and will continue to do them this way.

BB rows-ss-inverted rows
4x135x10-ss-4x7
The BB rows I alternated every set overhand then underhand and the inverted rows I did a different grip every set(wide, reverse, hammer)

Deads
225x10
275x10
2x295x5

Meadows rows
1x45x12

Great workout and my joints are non existent, I don't even feel them anymore, this product rocks. Pull-ups used to kill my elbows, not with flexible. Hittin some arms tomorrow, can't wait!

I def want to check out detonator x at some point. heard great things!

We have 2 pre's DetonatorX and XcelleratorX and were coming out with another shortly. DetX has epi in it. So for someone wanting to try it or add it in to their cycle, it's great. XcelX is a great everyday pre. Both of them are great and potent. I think I might be getting some samples, I'll let you know.
 
Pete if you get let me know

Nothing new to report but all pain free lifts! Today was arms and up the elbows to the test.

Dips
4x12

1 arm DB overhead ext
3x35's x 10 per arm

Ez bar Skull crushers
3x65x10
These were very explosive on the way up but the negatives were 5 sec. My tri's should be hurting tomorrow

Ez bar curls
3x65x10

Single arm DB curls
4x35's x 10
I did these standing and would rep 5 on one arm then 5 on the other the back to 5 on the first and so on. The pump was crazy, I got these from Wasme, they work.

DB hammer curls
3x35's x 8

Preacher-ss-close bench
3x90x10-ss-3x135x8
Arms were so pumped after this. One of the best routines I've done in awhile.

Abs

Decline sit ups
3x25 reps

25lb plate twists
3x20 reps per side
I held the plate out in front if me and kept my feet planted and twisted back and fourth.

Suspension system planks
3xfail
I can hold a plank forever so I decided to swing my feet back and fourth until my obliques and core started to burn good then I held it steady for as long as I could. My core was so tired after this the next two exercises I could barely do.

Gorilla chins
2x5 reps

Reverse decline crunches
2x5 reps

I do 3-5 second negs on everything, it's soooo bad the next day!!!!!
 
Ok I actually decided to split my leg day up into two separate days. I've never done this before. So today's workout was

Squat
135x10
185x8
2x205x6
I actually haven't squatted that much in a longtime because of knee pain. I still have it where they pop but that isn't nothing, thank you flexible!

Hack squat
135x10
185x10
205x8
These felt really good. I'm moving up in weight quite well on these.

Front squat
135x10
2x155x8
These felt good, normally a little pain but nothing, I will definitely go heavier next week.

Leg ext
90x20
115x15
125x15
130x15

Very good leg workout and weight for me. Hockey messed my knees up pretty bad and with flexible I can start lifting more weight, this is great.

what grip width you use on the bb press? i've started doing wider than shoulder width and it really isolates the delt better!

Right at shoulder width. Have you ever gripped the BB where your hands touch the BB collars? It's awesome

Hope my little guys don't wake up in the middle of the night, I just downed some REM 8.0! What is the flavor of that, it was good? It didn't say on the pack.

You gave me 3 sample packs of the REM 8.0. I'll start off by saying that the taste is great. I took it around 10 and by 10:30-10:45 I was falling asleep sitting up. One of the twins woke up at 4:45 and it took me a sec to realize, I was sleeping so deep. This stuff is great, it really knocks you out! This is by far the best sleep supp I've ever tried!

There are so many. The only thing i noticed is the ratios of each compound is on the low side. Would you not need as much of each when stacked?
Click to expand...
That's a popular question. I've discussed it with the owner and that's what he said. When you stack compounds you really don't need such high doses of each plus you have carbopol which helps your body utilize the product better.

Thats cool. If i can run less of each and get good gains then win win. Now i have to narrow down my choice. Thanx bro.
