Grinnell27 Is Cutting With STIMZ by FINAFLEX

Looking Forward to the After Pics !!
 
It's a holiday weekend so no problems man. My schedule has been all screwed up...
 
Well if it makes any of you guys feel better, I havnt really been able to train since I got my new job. Good thing I have to lift and move heavy cabinets all day. I do have a home gym so I have been able to get afew lifts in but I am pretty much wiped out at the end of the day. Gott get my xchedual down a little better.

Why don't you have a training log?
 
Working in a cabinet shop?
 
Sorry for the delay the past few days guys..

Hopefully made up for it today :)

Back/Deadlift day:

Deadlifts-

135x 10
225x 5
315x 3
405 x 2
455 x 1 (3 singles)

Koklayev Deadlifts:

315x 5 (3 sets) I like these... make the lift really quite difficult, however its strengthening my dads considerably.

T-Bar rows-

4 Plates x 8-10 (3 sets)
5 plates x failure (2 sets)

DB Rows-

110x failure... (2 sets) Too light
110 + 25 (stacked) x failure (3 sets) This was a bit better but i may stack a 45b DB next time :)

Seated hammer rows-

2x plates each side x failure (3 sets)

Wide grip lat pulldowns-

180x failure (3 sets)

And then I ran out of time for back because it was time for cardio :)

Cardio-

15mins Elliptical- 220cals

So far I'm really enjoying STIMZ, definitely keeping fat at bay and I'm leaning nicely, not getting much of an energy boost personally, but to be fair in a HUGE sim junkie so it was expected.

Also I've now noticed the 'chills' like xR1pp3Rx mentioned lol
 
455 that is a serious Deadlift!!
 
Stimz came in really handy for me last week. I was working pretty much from 6am to 11pm all week. Had some down time in those hours but still had to stay alert and focused. Stimz really made it easy to do.

That's it!!!

Cardio-

Did these as fast as possible to build stamina and endurance for a comp I have coming up... It's a gym
Comp, contains many events from fitness to strength :)
 
Cool! Hopefully someone you tubes the event!
 
Nice work man. I've yet to try floor presses.
 
Ricochet247 said:
Floor press is just benching from the ground up right?? If I am correct What would that improve?
Click to expand...

The ******* portion of the lift, I believe.
 
Ricochet247 said:
Brother I am so lost

I'm not certain, but a floor press takes out the chest-touching portion of the movement. Therefore, it's to work on the midway-to-l0ckout point of the press. Like a variation from a Slinghot, which assists in the bottom portion instead of negating it.
 
Yeah floor press is great!! Basically I lie on the floor, in rack the weight from the squat rack, set bars low enough. Then bring the bar down until my triceps sit flat on the floor... Pause for 1-2seconds and try to explode up.

It's hard because you have no leg drive at all.

I have a bad back so I pick my feet up when I bench to prevent lower body drive/engagement. Do u think floor press would be more beneficial than that??

Floor pressing will limit your ROM.

Just go to a slight incline to relieve the back pain. I know a lot of people who don't flat bench due to back and shoulder issues.
 
It would take stress off lower back, however just like others mentioned... You won't touch your chest so your ROM is shorter, therefore not ideal for chest growth like regular bench press.

Great for strength increases though.

Right... Arm day.

Seated DB curls-

30x failure (4 sets)

Decline Skullcrushers-

90x failure (3 sets)
100x failure (2 sets)
110x 3-5 (1 set)

Hammer curls-

55x failure (3 sets)

Dips-

BWx failure (3 sets)

Preacher curls-

70x failure (3 sets)

Plate loaded dips-

45+10 plate each side x failure (3 sets)

Crucifix cable curls-

50x failure (3 sets)

And I think that's it, nice pump felt like a great session!

Cardio-

Same again, burpees with 35lb bag, front squats... Sprints on treadmill.
 
What's a crucifix curl?

Edit: Standing, arms parallel with floor?
 
I am going to guess, standing front double bicep curl in cable cross over ??????????????????

This is what I'm picturing

Agree!
 
Floor press really let's you overload the upper portion of the pressing movement and still gives enough ROM to fully engage the muscle. It's a VERY useful exercise and IMO one that isn't used nearly enough....who actually touches their chest doing bench press anyways
 
You are all correct... That's a crucifix curl :) it's fantastic for contraction.

This!!!! It's amazing at building strength, plus just like you say, I rarely touch my chest. Keep t at least an inch or 2 above.
 
Right so todays update for you all....

Legs!!!

Pin Squats-
I set the bars at the bottom of my lift, get underneath and set-up... then simply squat that weight up. And repeat :)

First time doing these... I like them, they are hard lol

135x 10
225x 5 (3 sets)
265x 3 (2 sets)

I think ill incorporate these more into training.

SLDL's-

315x 5 (2 sets)
375x 1 (3 sets) Building speed with these... Heavy though lol.

Also Ive started wearing a belt all the time now with deads and squats... Quite like it and it keeps everything tight :)

Leg ext-

150x 20 (3 sets)

Lying Ham Curls-

80x 15 (3 sets)

DB SLDL's-

80x failure (3 sets)

Close stance leg press-

Full stack x failure (3 sets)

And thats it for legs... trying to build a lot of strength in SLDL's at the moment, along with growing my hams... My quads are far superior to my Hams.

No cardio today, felt nice just finishing my session and going straight for a shower :)
 
Great workout there. When I use to squat pin squats were the ticket!
 
Wicked leg day brother!! I will have to google the pin squats!!

You're an animal.

As soon as you get proper core bracing down with the belt, your deadlift/squat numbers should jump.

Thanks bro, let's hope so. It definitely helps with core stability!

So Friday was just a cardio/ fitness session so nothing to talk about there really.

Today was chest... Focussed more on bodybuilding range of reps than strength.

Incline DB press-

70x failure (5 sets)

Incline DB fly's-

70x failure (4 sets)

Flat Bb bench-

135x 10 (3 sets)

Cable fly's-

70x failure (3 sets)

Machine chest press-

110x failure (4 sets)

Cardio-

Lots of DIY round the house, cutting grass, painting, plastering.. You name it lol

STIMZ is great at keeping water weight in check after chest meals, that's for sure. Very impressed with that.
