Yes, 4 sessions done and one more to go.
I'm not a color fan by any means but those are pretty freaking awesome. I hope it takes good and they stay that vivid. Just the color is really cool.

No doubt, but these 2 second holds contracting as hard as possible are keeping the blood from exiting the muscles. Not quite like BFR training but similar effect.
How much per hour and how many hours?Yes, 4 sessions done and one more to go.
I like color when it is done right.
Absolutely!lol hurts like a mfugger ... good thing we like pain
Thanks and yeah GVT is a beast.
Just explain to her that your body is your temple and your tattoos are your stained glass windows. They are only there to adorn the temple and make it more pleasing to the eye.Yea the ink is dope puccah. I want to get inked up more, but the wife isn't fully on board
Too old? HA, how old are you again? You look like a baby! Women and this too old nonsense. My wife will be 39 or 40 next year and looks like she is a teenager. She tells me this year that next year she can not wear a bikini because 40 is to old for women to be wearing a bikini or mini skirts. WTF
Glad you are here brother.
Oh by the way workouts are going well. Going in tonight for a lift then off tomorrow and back at it on Friday. I am planning to go shopping probably tomorrow night to get the stuff i need for my cleanse. Good thing my cleanse starts on Sunday because I am going to an all day concert Saturday. Check the line up should be damn good.

Yes it is even with the 60% weight. The tempo is a big part of it but how he makes you initiate the movement and everything else makes it that much harder.

Okay so this weekend was great. Did the gym, then went to the store and got a couple things to make my veggie shakes and stuff for the cleanse. Then went to the concert on Saturday. It was a great concert. Fast forward to Sunday morning the beginning of the cleanse. I squeeze one lemon into a liter of room temp water and proceed to drink. I make a veggie shake 1.5 cups kale and 1.5 cups spinach, 1 carrot, 8 oz organic apple juice and blend. Well let me tell you if you have never drank a salad that is basically what this was like. Certainly the apple juice helps but it is not good in any way shape or form.
On to today I am finding I actually kind of enjoy lemon water which is nice. Had some organic eggs and another greens shake this time with Spinach, Fennel, Green chard and 4 oz organic apple juice. I made 2 of them one for later today. So far other than being a little hungry I can't really tell anything yet. No extra gas or anything like that.
Okay now for my Whole Foods experience, WOW that place is so expensive.... I will be getting my organic stuff from Kroger and HEB from now on. I spend 280 there yesterday and didn't even fill up my cart. For the cleanse i am okay with it but I will not be going back unless I need something very specific.

Dude I didn't know STP was going to be there! You only told us about Blue October, I love STP. I told my girl you were going to a Blue October concert and she started singing "hate me nooooowwwwww". I looked at her like, WTF are you doing? She said that's Blue October hahaha! I never heard of them but knew the song.
I live exactly one block away from Whole Foods it's my favorite place ever. I go there and have a beer at the watering whole every now and then, do some shopping lol. The produce isn't so bad just stay away from the meat.
Anyways, do you have a Sprouts or Trader Joe's by you? They are much cheaper. MUCH. Trader Joe's is rather crunchy though, so just wait for all the looks your big ass gets when you go in lol.

Yeah I thought I said STP was going to be there. Was the main reason we went. Chester tore it up too! Not like that was ever a question, his vocals are legit for sure. I was actually impressed with Blue October, they have about 5 songs I know and like. My favorite is probably Dirt Room.
Yeah maybe it was the meats at Whole Foods that did it. Not sure but it wasn't really worth the 25 minute drive for me. Again like you said it may have been the meats that ran the price up so fast, that and the nuts / seeds were relatively expensive also. I think there is a Trader joes around but would have to look for it. Never heard of Sprouts but that doesn't mean we don't have one around will check on that too. All in all Krogers actually has a pretty decent selection of organic stuff and is less than a mile so convenience will probably win out in the end.

Dude the meat at WF I won't even touch unless I don't feel like driving really far for dinner. There's a reason they call it Whole Paycheck.
Hit up TJ man, produce is cheapest there. Again, same story meat isn't worth a damn there. Do they do the grass fed beef at your Kroger store? If they do keep a lookout for that **** to mark down dude. Mine marks it down like 50-75% off

Our Kroger and Publix have a pretty good selection of organic items as well! The whole foods and trader joes are about 30 mins from my house. Just not always worth the time and gas! Lol
MrKleen73

Yes, ours does some of the grass fed, but I think most of the stuff they have is grain finished. When that is the case I just buy the regular, no need to spend more for some meat that has already lost the benefits of the chlorophyll and high omega 3 content due to grain finishing.
Yeah I go over to Kroger on most Sunday Mornings before the church crowd gets out and pick up on all the marked down meats. They are normally all out and marked down by 8:00 Am.
I do go to HEB sometimes, they have an all natural counter for meat where everything is grass fed and no exogenous hormones. I love going over their and getting a nice 1.5" thick cut of steak. YUM!

Exactly, for my needs, when not on this cleanse I can get just about whatever I would want from Kroger or HEB. I am pretty simple most of the time and things like Chard, Fennel, & broccoli sprouts are simply not part of my usual diet. I can enjoy baby spinach in so many different formats, kale is easy to get, organic sweet potatoes and the like are always easy find. So other than needing some special stuff for this cleanse the 30 minute drive for me was not worth it.
Cool thing about Kroger is they are really good about ordering what you want them to carry if you take the time to make the request with them.

I love the meat at TJ's; you don't like it? Like you said, it's pretty crunchy, but I think it's funny when people give you looks. Awesome prices if you're looking for organic stuff.
One time this mom came up to me as I passed by the vitamins at TJ's telling me her son was in hs football & she wasn't sure what he should be taking. She's all distraught about the tons of different supps there because his coach recommended he take a vitamin, so she wanted my advice. I told her to give him the multi alongside some glucosamine & chondroiton & forget about any of the powders or all the other bs - just feed him like mad & make him go to bed on time.

That's funny man gotta love the soccer mom trying to get her little stud muffin jacked for Foosball haha! I can literally see that playing out in my head. One time my girl and I were in Sprouts and I was perusing the supps with complete disgust as normal [how is it those guys have supp companies and not me lol] and this chick comes up to us and says "are you a personal trainer? " I chuckled and said no, she then goes onto to tell me in front of my girl "ohhhhhh, well, you look like you know about this stuff..."

Funny at this point in life my wife doesn't even blink if that conversation takes place. She is used to me helping people who ask and understands why they ask me so doesn't make her insecure at all. Of course she knows I don't mess around.
Okay so a little about this cleanse. It seems to be going well. Admittedly I have not had perfect adherence but pretty close. The homemade greens shakes are not very good at least these because they are for cleansing specifically and don't have to much to help with the flavor. I plan to go ahead and get some organic greens powder so I can continue them with less fuss. My body is liking the extra veggies though that is for sure. Movements and what not are going well, urine is pretty darn clear at this point.
I have one more of the primer phase workouts then 3 days off before starting the actual plan and diet. On Monday I will be starting my supps! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! I should also have my EP1C and OSTAR1NE by then as the order was placed late last week.
By the way guys be on the lookout for an amazing flash sale Aug 5th where Olympus Labs will be heavily discounting several of our products in celebration of being picked up at NutraPlanet. Keep a watch because the deals should be amazing from what I am being told.

The older you get the more regular this should become. Annually, prior to doing a cycle. If you've done cycles and are over 40 I'd recommend the colonoscopy anyway. The age use to be 45 and insurance companies pushed it to 50 and they are trying to push it to 55 now. I look at it as "preventative maintenance".

Excellent idea, I think everyone needs to detox at some point. Where did you find the plan for it?
MrKleen73

Yeah, my insurance it is at 50 and of course they won't approve it earlier unless there is a suspected problem.
The one I am using came with the MI40 X program but it is the same one from the Original MI40 program so I am sure you can find it around. Difference with this one is that you get in a good 150 of protein unlike many cleanses where you get stuck with liquids and veggies only. The big expense was the organic meats and wild caught fish.

If you start to do this for a living and you're training women, you are really going to have to be aware of women coming at you. They are fairly subtle but you can feel them feeling you out. I am sure you can handle it but just a heads up. I just pretend like nothings happening. You have to keep them feeling good about themselves, it's just good business so there is a bit of minor flirtation necessary. Carol can be a little jealous so I don't share this with her all the time. I don't fool around either so she's got nothing to worry about.
MrKleen73
Legend
No doubt, and yeah there is a little bit of that anyway. I am a natural flirt and mean nothing by it. When I very first got together with my wife I told her very plainly that I am a natural flirt, I flirt innocently and often unintentionally. Something that I don't realize I am doing. I am just exuberant and love making people fool good about themselves. Luckily my wife already knew this about me and simply accepted it as part of who I was. With the level of adoration she lives in constantly she knows there is no one I want but her.
That being said I do my best to never overstep and if a woman ever begins to act like she thinks there is some kind of opportunity there I make sure to bring up my wife and how much I love her. Just easier that way.
Funny that you mention it though because my baby momma #1 convinced me to quit my job and be her boy toy because she was too jealous of the women I was training. One day right after I helped this lady hit her target of 65 lbs lost she asked me if we could go to dinner to celebrate. My girlfiend was behind me and I didn't know, I told her maybe I needed to make sure it was okay with my lady.
Well that WAS NOT OKAY with her. As a matter of fact she freaked out a bit and told me she could buy me a car & take care of me and pay all of my bills. Well I was 19, so what exactly do you think I did? Yep, I'm just a gigolo... Took more than a few years to get myself back out from under that thumb. Started training again once I left her and did it a couple more years before the big gyms blocked the trainers out and only offered pennies on the dollar in compensation.
Now I have a buddy working at 24Hr fitness, he is getting $40 per session with someone else doing all the selling for him. Had it been like that back in the day I would have stuck with it.

Plus I learned a long time ago to take some of the creep factor out of it you compliment the attire and not the woman for the most part. There is a big difference between these two even though the intent is the same don't you agree?
Example 1
Wow you look really good in that dress. = possible sexual harassment
Example 2
That is a really pretty dress. = Oh thank you so much!
Gotta love our litigious society then again I work at a law firm so I guess i shouldn't complain about having a litigious society. Kind of where my money comes from.

That's pretty slow negatives so still exercising a lot of control in the reps with an explosive push. I use this tempo quite a bit.
MrKleen73
Legend
Yeah I can imagine.
Yes one of the biggest factors in MI40 is Time Under Tension, and a true full ROM which is not as easy as one would think. I used to think when i benched i got full ROM just because I touched my chest but there were parts of the ROM at the ends I was not utilizing properly before, that along with the intentions makes if pretty wild. When focusing on muscular tension instead of moving the weight the weight becomes far less important and the ability to move a lot of it drops suddenly. Not sure how long it will take me to get the weights back up but that isn't my focus now just growth and longevity.
DreamWeaver
Legend
Exactly what I am now teaching, It started years ago when you got me to use more progression and less weight. When I was lower in my progression I wanted to still be able to get the strain on the muscle I was looking for. So many doors started opening and the changes started happening. I started realizing how range of motion and induced hypertrophy get me growing better than heavy weight. Then I watched a video where the guy was doing all these techniques to enhance hypertrophy with very little weight. He said he could start with very low weight but by using certain techniques and flexing during doing his reps the could induce plenty of growth. This got me experimenting with my lifts and I am still making adjustments. I used less and less heavy weights. The weights go down and the gains go up... go figure.
Now that I am seeing what you're doing I am going to take it even further and redesign my routines to use even less weight and look for ways to make it hurt as I like to say.
Oh and yah when I do chest press with the db's I stretch my chest to get maximum range by angling the db's in for example. I fuggin ache when I do this but what a fuggin pump.
