FST-7?

You have so much to learn

Haney Rambod FST-7 training. It's a fun program. I ran it for quite a while and absolutely loved it. Very well suited for a bulk although with some small tweaks it can be run nicely for cutting as well. Ant questions just ask. I think Simon stole it from me even

This was supposed to be a day off weights, but being Sunday with no plans I figured I would just get in tomorrows workout. Was solid, shoulder felt pretty good. Great focus, major chills too. Seems when I use less I get more of that thermo vs chill battle going on.

Or a mess like those poor f'ers that step in front of your train!

Damn those presses. I hope I can get up there soon.

How do you like doing shoulders with back?

Got home, and got annoyed very quickly. Figured the best way to avoid a domestic was to go to the garage... Tomorrow definitely a rest day.

Very nice workout!

Thanks Thomas. More stress at home than usual - glad I have my garage (my outlet) and this forum with you guys (my sanctuary)...

Everything I have logged for you guys I have purchased multiples of afterward. Going to start a new bottle of MaxPUMP in a week or two as well.

I have 2/3's of it sectioned off with office baffles of all things. My equipment in the back 2/3, and bikes, tools, etc in the front 1/3. Works well for me.

Yep, then he shot his garage..

Killed the Arms bro. Take it easy on the domestic side. You have the right idea though, work it out in your garage gym.

[RegisterJr]

I need to try rows before the pull-ups next week too. I'm usually spent by the time the rows come up.

Yes there are some exercises that you are just too exhausted to do after the big 10..

 

[MrKleen73]

Man I know what you are saying. I would love to be able to slam some protein with my Pre, cause the pre isn't going anywhere. I have to have my stims!

It takes less than 10 minutes for your pre to get into the intestines tops, take it 30 minutes prior wait 10 minutes have a scoop of protein problem solved. If your pre has creatine this will be better anyway since creatine uptake takes longer than the stims...

Will check your thread to see how last night went. Yes it also reads to go 6 rotations and then change things to 10x6 with a 5-0-x tempo. What are your thoughts on that?

I thing that sounds about right. There may have been some negatives there but I can't remember. I only went into the latter portion 2 times out of the 4 I have done GVT.

I was under the impression (was told) that a protein shake or food should be taken 45min pre-WO. What are your thoughts on that?

Oh i do them... Err, I thought you weren't going to tell anyone my pet name ????

Wait I thought it was butter bottom now after the other night... Oh boy now I did it...

I think timing has more to do with when you can eat and be comfortable when working out. Some whey isolate 20 minutes before isn't going to bother most people. However you don't have to have it. Amino acids are great in that situation and still feed the muscle. I was just saying if you want protein prior to the workout without messing up the stim effects of a pre workout.

Great workout... legs pretty shaky going back in the house and up to take a shower. Good stuff! That also pretty much puts my tub of Stimul8 to bed. I am going to be opening a purchased one though immediately and keep things going here just a tad longer. I will get a final review up this week. Thanks for all the helpful info along the way - and of course to the Finaflex team for this opportunity.

What a great session this morning. Broke open a new tub of Stimul8. Going to add Maxpump to the mix next Saturday I think. Full scoop in me energy, focus, thermo were all just where I like them. Neighbor totally annoyed me though. Hard to say pi$$ off in a polite way. Guy rarely talks to me, picks mid workout of all times to wander into my garage!

Ha! See, you have gym drama at home too!

Nice work bro.

I was reading up on GVT....

Tempo: For long-range movements such as squats, dips and chins, use a 4-0-2 tempo; this means you would lower the weight in four seconds and immediately change direction and lift for two seconds. For movements such as curls and triceps extensions, use a 3-0-2 tempo.

Why thy 3-0-2, do you think?
