Poppin' Follidrex to go T-Rex (with longer arms)

Been sick again... got a massage on Friday and the lady told me I was sick... said naw. Saturday I was fine, gymed it up. Sunday I didn't get much sleep and felt exhausted all day. Monday, sick... sore throat and exhaustion. Got meds and a shot. Tuesday, still sore throat and tired. Wednesday... guess I'll take off as well.

Starting back on Thursday.

That's one of the worst part of being a teacher.

PHEW that top set sucked. I've done it before, but I got the first 2 reps clean and then the last one I had to do a grinding push press to finish. In my defence, this was the first workout I did since I've been sick and I was still coming off of it.

Sooooo I was sick all week with bronchitis. SUCKS. Didn't want to go in the gym and push it and make it worse. Woke up Saturday feeling a bit iffy, but maybe around 90% better. I had planned on Monday to workout with a buddy and help push him. I was really looking forward to it so when I woke up I texted him and hoped for the best.

Energy was low... had a TON of Nitraflex and a Pit Bull energy bar. Too much caffeine, but I don't think I could have finished without it. Major super sets and work on and off together. It was great training with someone. He said he usually does like 30 sets for an entire workout, but we ended up doing 60. Double his normal work load, and we still left early before we finished what I usually do.

Went out to dinner with some couples and everyone was drinking afterwards. Took a few shots of Jack, how can you pass up free shots?, to help clear out the remnants of the sickness... it worked! Sunday I felt great, fully healed. Girlfriend made chicken pot pie and chicken soup and we just chilled all day. Happy days.

Felt good... nice day back doing legs again. Felt strong, but still a bit sore from last week. I ran an EMS session on my quads on Thursday night and on my hammies on Friday night. I still felt it a bit today, so I wasn't 100% fresh going in. Everything still felt fine.

Squats had lots of speed and rebound out of the hole. Glutes weren't kicking in all the way. I should have done a glutes session too on EMS. Hard to get through all that fat.

Bench is feeling real good.

Did an extra drop set of leg extensions on the way out cause a friend said he was doing this:

Wanted to go for my top sets at 100kg from set 7-10 but this trainer came up and distracted me for ****ing 20 minutes or something.
Left glute and low back seemed to be MUCH less activated... right glute was taking over hardcore and after feeling my ass for a few minutes seems to be far more developed... and my right glute used to be underdeveloped in comparison. Guess I over compensated when doing rehab work post-injury. Damnit.

Wish I had a calculated diet plan for gaining and knew exactly how to manipulate my macros for lean bulking. I think this is the biggest thing holding me back at the moment.

[highlight][size=+2]Say WHAT?![/size][/highlight]
Overall, good workout. Tried to put more work on my left glute, left erector, and left hamstring since these are less developed than my right side. Left lat is a bit smaller as well :(

Gotta wake up early to hit the gym since I'm going to be crushing some sushi at a friend's restaurant after work. Right now that looks like 5-7 hours of sleep. Can't wait to sleep in on Thursday morning until 12. I need a solid 10-12 hours soon... hooray for weekends.

Hrmm... my quads were just really achey and my knees felt a bit crunchy. Must be from getting in on Monday and ****ing raging after that week off. Anyways, I had to do this top set as singles, because I couldn't bust out 3 reps together.

I have been gaining weight which is good. Felt like I was kind of stalling and not putting on mass or anything for 2-3 weeks. Bumped my cals up again to 3000-3300 and the scale is moving. Now... I'm not sure that's the best thing because I'm clearly a bit chubbier, but I'm going with the old broscience that says you need to eat over maintenance cals to gain size and that along the way some fat is going to happen regardless. My goal is to keep it under 81kg until February and then work on another kg for each consecutive month following... so by June I should be around 85kg. Slow and steady wins the race right? Maybe 90kg by December 2015... and then start cutting for a show in April 2016.

Not really sure if this supplement has done anything for me or not. I'm just getting to a point in my programming where I'm stalling out, but I was sick and needed to take a week off. The week before I failed on my OHP 77kg x 3, and today my high bar squat as I mentioned I had to do singles. I consider that failing, and doesn't seem my strength is any different than it would be otherwise.

Muscle mass seems to be coming on at a normal rate and nothing explosive or insane even though I'm eating around 3000 cals a day.

I doubt the epicatechin claims, but hopefully it really did work magically as mentioned in other reviews for some people... great luck lol

First two with both legs... left hammie and glute felt weak so I tried to isolate them... couldn't do much weight and contraction was tough. I burned out on 13.5 dropped to 10 dropped to 5 then kept going back and forth through them all... really need to fix this because I can feel it significantly when I'm sumoing a sway to my left side first and then right because of the strength imbalance.

For some reason my right lower back is getting a CRAZY PUMP after hyperextensions, but I hardly feel it at all in my left lower back. Left glute and ham are weaker noticeably... today on the leg curl I could hardly do 13.5kg single leg and did some drop sets with my left leg... right leg tossed it around like nothing... DAMN YOU IMBALANCES!!!

Decided to add some forearm work... my friend was doing this Lazar Angelov routine with forearm work twice per week. His upper forearm is absolutely insane. Never seen anyone's like that before. Time to start blasting them to see how much they'll grow. Should get some good noob gains because the last time I trained forearms was probably in college 8 years ago.

Only 2-3 more Follidrex left to go!

Good workout, lots of energy for my upper body... but lower body could not cut it at all today. Squats were weakkkkk glutes still felt sore from the previous week. Couldn't get any drive. Even the 125kg squat felt heavy. Geared up for a 180kg but didn't hit it. Whatevs I know I can do it on a day when I get more than 7 hrs sleep.
 
[highlight][size=+3]Follidrex Final Review[/size][/highlight]

[highlight][size=+2]Profile : 5/10[/size][/highlight]
Epicatechin still seems to be up in the air. There aren't really many studies proving it's efficacy. At least it's not a prop blend like Follidrone.

[highlight][size=+2]Dosing : 10/10[/size][/highlight]
Couldn't be easier. One pill pre-workout. Didn't take on off days.

[highlight][size=+2]Taste : 5/10[/size][/highlight]
Didn't taste at all, but I'm giving it a **** score for having black dyed tabs. I hate dyed supps.

[highlight][size=+2]Effectiveness : 1/10[/size][/highlight]
I noticed nothing when I took it neither in DOMS or strength or endurance. I workout for 3 hours anyways without a pre-workout. Endurance? How could I work harder?

[highlight][size=+1]Strength : 1/10[/size][/highlight]
I thought I was going to be blowing up PRs through the roof based on other epicatechin reviews. Naw... everything was pretty standard and already planned on my 5/3/1 program. I didn't hit anything extraordinary nor did my strength sky rocket. I made steady gains I would have made regardless.

[highlight][size=+2]Recommendable : 0/10[/size][/highlight]
Don't waste your cash.

[highlight][size=+2]Overall : 2/10[/size][/highlight]
This seemed to be an overhyped product that failed to deliver results for me.

Overall I failed to notice any tell-tale signs of benefits such as libido, aggression, "alpha" sense of well-being, strength increases or endurance gains.

It's not really even worth going through the trouble to take pictures... here are my before and after measurements over the course of about 6 weeks.

Starting Stats: 79.1kg
Neck: 36cm
Shoulders: 56cm ish (stupid I should have measured size around)
Chest relaxed: 100cm
Chest deep breath: 103cm
Left Arm: 39cm
Waist directly above hip bone: 84cm
Left Upper Leg under groin: 56.5cm
Left Upper Leg across bottom of vastus lateralis: 49cm
Left Calf: 37.5cm

Ending Stats: 81.5kg
Neck: 38cm
Shoulders: 122cm around
Chest relaxed: 101cm
Chest deep breath: 106cm
Left Upper Arm: 40cm
Left Forearm: 30cm
Waist directly above hip bone: 86cm
Left Upper Leg under groin: 60cm
Left Upper Leg across bottom of vastus lateralis: 46cm (decrease? possible measuring discrepancy)
Left Calf: 38cm
