Finaflex: What more do I need to say. These guys rock, and so do their supps. So far everything of their's I've used has delivered, and well. Now I'll be testing the delivery of their new Liver Repair. I am currently running Celtic Labs M1T-Oxime, and will be bridging into Menace Nutrition's E-Ripper which contains Epi. I've been using Lecheek's Cycle Armor, which I've been pretty happy with, but would use at 3 pills per day instead of 2 to get what I considered proper dosing.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
50 mg

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)
50 mg

Hamstrings and Calves

Still a touch sore from quad day on Sunday, but was able to power through a decent hammy workout. I've also upped my M1T dosage to 45 mgs./day (3 caps 3 times a day). I'll be running at 45 mgs. the rest of this cycle. With this jump in dosage I'm expecting the Liver Repair to keep things in check. Only my second day on Liver Repair, so I can't give an accurate update yet.

Seated Leg Curls / Seated Smith Calf Raises, 2 mins. rest
90 x 10 / 135 x 15
110 x 8 / 185 x 15
130 x 6 / 225 x 12
150 x 4 / 245 x 11
140 x 5 / 245 x 10

I generally don't go for strength or heavy weight on machines but I'm really trying to push the strength limits on this cycle. With how quickly my strength has shot up I want to take full advantage of it.

Smith SLDL / Single Leg BW Raises, 2 mins rest
185 x 8 / 8, 8, 6, 6
225 x 8 / 8, 8, 6, 6
245 x 6 / 8, 8, 6, 6
265 x 6 / 8, 8, 6, 6

Back pumps started to kick in a little at the end, but not as bad as I was expecting. I was able to finish out my planned sets and reps.

Leg Press, high foot placement / Leg Press Calf Raises, 1 min. rest
320 x 8 / 320 x 8
320 x 8 / 320 x 8
320 x 8 / 320 x 8


Single Leg DB SLDL / DB Calf Raises
25s x 6, 6 / 50 x 14
25s x 6, 6 / 50 x 14

If you've never done single leg SLDLs then you have to try it at least once. They're pretty intense and don't require a lot of work to be effective or feel the effects. My hamstrings were so toasted when I got home that I didn't even CONTEMPLATE shaving. Leaning against the counter while I tried to shave in the mirror just seemed impossible.

Chest and Delts

Went for heavy sets of each muscle group to start out with then continued on in my usual super set fashion.

Smith Flat BP, 3 mins. rest
135 x 8
185 x 5
225 x 5
245 x 3
265 x 2
245 x 2

265 felt kind of heavy, but my left shoulder and right elbow started talking to me a bit. They said "back off a touch". So I listened to them.

Smith Seated OHP, 2 mins. rest
95 x 6
115 x 5
135 x 4
135 x 3

Incline DB Press / DB Laterals with 3 sec. top hold, 2 mins rest
75s x 6 / 15s x 6
75s x 6 / 15s x 6
75s x 6 / 20s x 5

Pec Deck / Cable Upright Rows, wide grip camber handle with 3 sec. top hold, 1 min. rest
170 x 7 / 75 x 8
170 x 6 / 75 x 8
190 x 3, 170 x 4 / 75 x 7

Push Ups / Bicycle Crunches / Side Bridges / Cable One Arm Laterals, no rest
8 / 12 / 6, 6 / 10 x 6, 6, 5, 5
8 / 12 / 6, 6 / 10 x 6, 6, 5, 5
2 mins rest
8 / 12 / 6, 6 / 10 x 6, 6, 5, 5
8 / 12 / 6, 6 / 20 x 3, 3, 15 x 4, 4, 10 x 5, 5

Started to feel a little sick to my stomach towards the end. I know it wasn't because of how hard I was working. I didn't reach that point, not even close. Felt fine once my heart rate dropped during the rest period between cycles, and once my heart rate started going up I started to get the sick feeling again. I was close to a trash can so I just figured if I was going to spew I'd hit the can. Managed to bust through the rest and no chunks. Heart rate came down and I was fine. I'll keep track of that in the near future.

Day off today as I went to Trivia Night last night and didn't get home until after 11. We won though.

Weighed myself this morning, fasted and after my morning constitution, and I'm up to 206. Still eating constantly, and I think there have been a few days where I hit 4,000 calories, but no sign of ANY fat gain.

I'm up to 45 mgs. M1T-Oxime (9 pills spread out), and I was using Lecheek Cycle Armor initially during this cycle, but I don't think it was set up or dosed for a heavy cycle like this. Even though I was above a gallon of water a day my urine started to get a touch darker than on other cycles and before I bumped up my current dosage. Now that I've been on Liver Repair it's gone back to being fairly clear.

Quads and Calves

My leg work was on Saturday morning, but just barely getting a chance to catch up. It was just me and my kids most of the weekend so I didn't get a chance to workout yesterday and some late night family stuff had me up for a while last night so no morning workout today.

Bike for 5 mins. to warm up and the bar for 2 sets of 15 plus body weight calf raises.

Smith Squat / Standing Smith Calf Raises
135 x 10 / 135 x 18
185 x 5 / 185 x 12
225 x 5 / 225 x 8
275 x 2 / 275 x 6
315 x 1 / No Raises (PR here, have never been able to get 315 for a good solid full ROM rep. Got to bottom and struggle a bit out of the hole, but felt strong so I sacked up and tried for a second rep. Got about half way down and knew it wasn't happening. Felt good finally breaking the 315 plateau though.)
275 x 5 / 275 x 8

Leg Exts. / Seated Calf Raises
130 x 6 / 225 x 15
150 x 6 / 275 x 12
150 x 6 / 295 x 10
170 x 5 / 295 x 9

Leg Press / Leg Press Calf Raises
410 x 8 / 410 x 8
500 x 8 / 500 x 6
590 x 8 / Switched to standing DB Raises 60 x 15
680 x 6 / 60 x 15

Feeling really strong. If I had a spotter I probably would have gone for a 1RM test. Did 1,100 lbs. for a good, solid knees to chest rep for one rep in college. Not sure if I could get to that point again given my knees, but I sure would like to try.

Smith Front Squats / Standing DB Raises
135 x 10 / 60 x 15
155 x 10 / 50 x 16
155 x 8 / 50 x 15

Felt pretty shakey carrying my son up and down stairs, but by the end of the day I was almost back to normal. Since starting taurine my back pumps have been greatly diminished. Only 1 day left for the M1T though. Tomorrow will truly be a sad day. But I'm bridging this to the Epi in Menace Nutrition's E-Ripper so I'll be able to keep grading the Liver Repair during that run.

Lats / Traps / Light Delts

Woke up well rested this morning, even though my alarm went off at 4:10 a.m. as usual. I did have a massive headache hit me out of nowhere about 1/4 way through my workout. I stopped for about 10 mins. and it subsided a bit, so I went back to kicking my ass.

Seated Wide Grip Cable Rows, overhand / Cable Rope Front Raises
160 x 10 / 20 x 10
180 x 8 / 25 x 9
200 x 7 / 25 x 9
220 x 5 (PR on weight and reps!) / 30 x 7
200 x 6 / 30 x 7

Bentover 1 Arm DB Row, neutral grip / Smith Seated OHP
75 x 8, 8 / 95 x 8
Headache hit here, took 10 min. rest
75 x 8, 8 / 115 x 7
75 x 8, 8 / 135 x 5

Really wishing DBs were heavier, but 75 is as high as they go.

Smith Pendlay Rows to Snap Grip Shrugs / DB Laterals with 3 sec. top hold
135 x 10 / 15s x 8
185 x 6 / 15s x 8
205 x 5 / 20s x 6
225 x 4 (PR weight and reps) / 20s x 6

Wide Grip Pull Downs / Reverse Flys
180 x 6 / 15s x 8
200 x 5 / 20s x 7
Switched to Underhand Pull downs Here
220 x 6 (PR on reps) / 20s x 6
220 x 4, 200 x 4 / 20s x 6

Cable Upright Rows / Cable Curls Narrow Grip to Wide Grip
95 x 8 / 50 x 5, 4
95 x 8 / 50 x 4, 4
95 x 8 / 50 x 4, 3

Veins on my bis were POPPIN'! And my forearms looked pretty road mappy as well. Headache wasn't completely gone at the end of my workout but it had gotten better as I went along. I was proud of myself for pushing through, but on my way home I remembered a kid I went to college with who burst a blood vessel in the back of his head while working out through a headache. Maybe I won't do that again.

Just finished the M1T, which I really liked, wish it were a 6 week run, but still waiting on the E-Ripper to come in. Going to give it one more day then I'll probably start PCT and have to log it later if it doesn't show.

Today will be the first day in 4 years that I haven't been able to knock out a huge workout before massive amounts of holiday food. I will most certainly be making up for it tomorrow with an ass load of HIIT thrown in after my chest and delt work.

Yesterday was a great hamstring and calf workout:

SLDL / Single Leg BW Raises
135 x 10 / 8, 8, 6, 6
185 x 8 / 8, 8, 6, 6
225 x 6 / 8, 8, 6, 6
275 x 6 / 8, 8, 6, 6
315 x 5 / 8, 8, 6, 6
335 x 4 / 8, 8, 6, 6

Still feeling very strong, eve though I stopped the M1T a couple of days ago.

Machine Leg Curls / Donkey Machine Calf Raises, 2 sec. hold
110 x 8 / 160 x 15
130 x 6 / 170 x 14
150 x 5 / 180 x 12
150 x 5 / 190 x 10

DB SLDL / DB Standing Calf Raises
75s x 8 / 60 x 16
75s x 8 / 60 x 16

Leg Press, High Foot Placement / Leg Press Raises to Standing BW Raises
410 x 10 / 410 x 8, BW x 8
500 x 8 / 500 x 6, BW x 8
590 x 7 / 590 x 4, BW x 10

Weighted Hypers / Seated Calf Raises
25 x 8 / 225 x 18
25 x 8 / 275 x 15
25 x 8 / 315 x 12

Still waiting on the E-Ripper. Kind of disappointed right now. If it's not in the mail I'm either going to start PCT (which I would prefer not to do), or bridge right into my M-Sten run that I just got. Any thoughts on this?

Chest and Delts

All kinds of fired up after pigging out yesterday. I ate so much that my stomach hurt for HOURS. Needed to put a serious hurtin' on in the gym.

135 x 10
185 x 8
205 x 6
Rest Pause Sets
205 x 4, 3, 2, 2
205 x 4, 3, 2, 1
185 x 6, 3, 2, 2

95 x 8 / 20s x 8
115 x 6 / 25s x 8
115 x 5 / 25s x 8

125 x 4, 3, 2, 2
125 x 4, 3, 2, 1

70s x 8 / 60s x 8
75s x 7 / 65s x 7

Warm up was normal, recumbent for 5 mins. and some warm up sets of just the bar and light weight, but as I got into heavier weights I was feeling pretty strong.

Squats / Standing Smith Calf Raises
135 x 12 / 135 x 20
185 x 8 / 185 x 16
225 x 5 / 225 x 12
285 x 6 / 285 x 6, Single Leg Calf Raises BW x 8,8
315 x 3 (PR on reps and at full depth) / Single Leg Calf Raises BW x 8,8, 6, 6
285 x 5 / Single Leg Calf Raises BW x 8,8

Breaking the 315 barrier for 1 rep (and a 1/2, almost 3/4 rep) last week and then getting 3 full reps below parallel this week was astounding to me. I couldn't believe I was able to "rep" out at 315. Getting out of the whole on the 3rd rep sucked, and I wasn't sure I was going to make it, but once I got above parallel I was good to go. Not that I'm complaining. I'm going to attribute that to Ripper's advice on increasing hamstring work since I went so heavy on the SLDLs previously.

Leg Exts. / DB Calf Raises
170 x 8 / 60 x 16
190 x 6 / 65 x 16
200 x 6 / 65 x 15
210 x 5 (PR on weight) / 65 x 14

Again, not sure what's going on but I blasted my previous high weight in extensions. I've never in my life been able to get above 200 lbs. on extensions, and with controlled slow negatives at that. Not even in my college days when I could jump like a madman.

Leg Press / Leg Press Calf Raises to Standing Raises
410 x 10 / 410 x 8, BW x 10
500 x 8 / 510 x 7, BW x 10
590 x 8 / N/A, BW x 16
670 x 8 / N/A, BW x 16
760 x 8 / N/A, BW x 14
410 x 20 / 410 x 10, BW x 8

Once again, feeling strong. I almost feel like I could get back to 1,000 lb. leg press very soon at the rate I'm going.

Smith Front Squats / Single Leg DB Calf Raises
135 x 10 / 50 x 5, 5, 5, 5
155 x 10 / 50 x 5, 5, 5, 5
165 x 8 / 45 x 5, 5, 5, 5

My legs were fried, and I almost felt like puking but didn't quite get there, thank God. I think I'm going to have to give my calves some time off though. My plantars are starting to tire before my calves now, which is a sure sign of body part specific over training.

Follow from the next day: my ass is killing me. That is all.

Got to the gym a little later than planned I paid for it. The douche bags slowly started coming out of hibernation, including the kid I posted about in the douche bag thread flexing his chest in the mirror after half reps on bench press. Today he had 275 on a Smith machine doing 1/3 reps, then when he would come out from under the bar he would crouch over putting his hands on his knees and breathing heavy like he had just done some actually work. SMH. It actually felt like a slap in the face after getting my PR for reps at 315. Do you think they'd kick me out if I slapped him?

Seated Cable Rows, Underhand / DB Reverse Flys
140 x 12 / 10s x 10
180 x 8 / 15s x 8
200 x 6 / 20s x 7
210 x 5 / 25s x 6
190 x 6 / 20s x 6

Smith Pendlay Rows to Shrugs / Skier Pulldowns
135 x 10, 135 x 12 / 70 x 8
185 x 6, 185 x 8 / 70 x 8
205 x 4, 205 x 6 / 70 x 8
205 x 3, 2, 2, 205 x 6 / No Skier Pulldowns, douche bag took it over

Bent Over DB Rows / Reverse Iso Flys
85 x 7, 7 / 15s x 25 seconds
85 x 7, 7 / 20s x 22 seconds
75 x 8, 8 / 20s x 19 seconds

Thank you to the Finaflex guys for the video showing how to use 2 dumbbells together to up the weight. This was a total saving grace, and even though I had people looking at me funny, I'd like to think helped inspire them to go heavier as well.

Wide Grip Pulldowns to Underhand Pulldowns / Hanging Leg Raises
180 x 6, 160 x 4 / 10
160 x 6, 140 x 4 / 10
140 x 6, 120 x 4 / 10

Seated Cable Rows, Neutral Grip to Overhand Grip / Bicycles / Side Bridges
180 x 5, 5 / 12 / 6, 6
160 x 5, 5 / 12 / 6, 6
140 x 5, 5 / 12 / 6, 6

Suit Case Rows / DB Shrugs, 2 sec. top hold / OH Cable Crunches
55s x 6 / 75s x 6 / 70 x 12
55s x 6 / 75s x 6 / 70 x 12
55s x 6 / 75s x 6 / 70 x 12

Finally called it quits, but only because the douche bag population had gotten too high. I was tempted to throw in some deadlifts just to make everyone look like a$$holes with there half reps and pathetic weights (I know, would have made me look like an a$$hole as well but why go to the gym if you aren't going to do anything worthwhile and productive?), but as stated at the end of my previous post, my glutes are KILLING me.

I've been on the same split for almost 3 years now:

Quads/Calves
Chest/Delts
Hams/Calves
Lats/Traps

After my hamstring day tomorrow (as I'm giving my calves a rest to help my plantars) I'll be continuing on with my strength/hypertrophy phases, but I'm going to get back to what I consider MY basics, and use the split I did in college that got me from 145 to 185 in 2 years with only creatine and protein as my supps. It's an antagonistic split, using the principle of opposing muscle exhaustion.

Chest / Traps
Quads / Calves (no different here)
Lats / Delts
Hams / Calves (no difference)

I'll work in off days sporadically, and there will be days I train quads and hams on the same day to give my calves a rest, but this is another split I've used to be able to workout 3 weeks in a row without a day off and no signs of overtraining.

Tomorrow is also the start of my next hypertrophy phase.

Chest (with some delts)

After doing some reading and and seeing some videos by Christian Tibedeau, I decided I'm going to give his shoulder and chest ideas a shot.

DB Seated Shoulder Press / Flat Bench DB Flys
45s x 10 / 20s x 12
55s x 8 / 25s x 10
60s x 6 / 25s x 10
50s x 8 / 20s x 12

Haven't done any true DB shoulder in a very long time. My elbow had prohibited me for a while, but since I've laid off the pull ups (which I think I've pinpointed as the cause of the pain) it's gotten much better, almost at 100% again.

Incline DB Press / DB Laterals
60 Degrees - 55s x 10 / 15s x 15
45 Degrees - 60s x 10 / 15s x 12
33 Degrees - 65s x 10 / Delts exhausted, no raises
15 Degrees - 70s x 9

BW Dips / Captain's Chair Leg Raises
10 / 10
10 / 10
10 / 10
10 / 10

Focused on really leaning forward at the start of the dips, and as my front delts got tired I slowly worked to eventually upright dips.

Incline Underhand DB Flys / Incline Hex Press / Side Bridges / Bicycle Crunches
20s x 8 / 40s x 6 / 8, 8 / 12
20s x 8 / 40s x 6 / 8, 8 / 12
20s x 7 / 40s x 5 / 8, 8 / 12

Rest Pause Flat BP
135 x 8, 4, 3
135 x 7, 3, 2
135 x 6, 3, 2, 1

Didn't feel like I got in a real hard chest workout when I was done. I still had plenty of fuel left in the tank, but I started late and was running even more late by the time I finished. Oh well, next time I'll make sure I beat the crap out of my chest.

No workout tomorrow, final hearing with my soon to be ex wife. Cannot WAIT for this crap to be over.

Nice work. I haven't done DB shoulder presses in a minute either.

Good luck with the hearing. You might need to lift afterwards...

Thanks Jr. We have drinks lined up, either way. But I'll certainly be crushing some weight Friday morning: it's quad day.

Had court yesterday, and managed to get through all of her BS, as well as a few new made up stories she told the court. My girlfriend and I testified well and shot her down pretty good, so I'd like to think it went well. Unfortunately we won't know the outcome until next week. But thank you to all for the well wishes, they truly helped me keep my chip uo going into yesterday. After the hearing I wanted to blow off some steam so I went in for what I hoped was going to be a killer leg workout.

Bike and warm ups went well.

Squats / Standing Smith Calf Raises
135 x 15 / 135 x 20
185 x 12 / 185 x 16
225 x 1 / N/A This is where a major headache kicked. It was just like the one that I had a few weeks ago with a shooting ache going up the back left portion of my head. I waited it out for a bit and it subsided some, but as soon as I got under the bar and started a rep it came crashing back. I would wait it out, try again, and the same thing, it came right before I even completed 1 rep. The last time I had this happen I said I wasn't going to push through it because of what happened to that kid in college, but being as stubborn as I am I pushed through anyway.

225 x 8 / 225 x 12
225 x 8 / 225 x 12
225 x 8 / 225 x 10

I would have been able to get more tha 8 reps but by the time I got to 8 I was starting to see stars from the head pain. I thought 3 good working sets after an extended rest was decent.

Leg Exts. / DB Calf Raises, EXTRA slow negs.
130 x 12 / 55 x 16
130 x 12 / 60 x 16
110 x 13 / 65 x 15

Leg Press / Leg Press Calf Raises to BW Standing Raises
320 x 15 / 320 x 10, BW x 10
410 x 12 / 410 x 8, BW x 8
500 x 12 / 500 x 6, BW x 6

Whether it was bing drained from the stress of the hearing, the headache, or maybe both I just ran out of gas. My legs felt like I had just done squats for a day and a half. I should have been able to do more, but had to call a day. I do have to admit though that my quads are already kind of sore today.

I have the kids this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to get in morning workouts while everyone is sleeping.

As a side note, I'm not sure if this from the Inhibit-E as I'm not on anything else, but I'm starting to get some slight (very slight but still there) chest acne. I'll also be getting the Menace Nutrition E-Ripper today (FINALLY!!!) so I'll be able to use the Liver Repair in conjunction and make this a much better log.

They let your girlfriend testify?

Glad things went well. Came back strong too.

Yeah, if she hadn't I wouldn't be as confident in the final decree as I am. She was great. My future ex wife introduced herself to my girlfriend and said "thank for taking such good care of my children, I know they adore you". It was totally out of character for her.

Saturday morning was lats and traps. Really worked the hypertrophy methods, especially slooooooooow negatives, held/squeezed contractions, and higher reps. And my legs were reminding me about how much the first week of hypertrophy phases suck. Quads were sore as sh!t.

Underhand Seated Cable Rows / Reverse Flys
100 x 15 / 10s x 15
120 x 12 / 10s x 15
140 x 11 / 15s x 11
120 x 13 / 15s x 10, 10s x 6

This reps buuuurned. The hold and the slow negatives were killer, and I started to feel a serious pump even before I really had gotten through my workout.

Pendlay Rows / Skier Pull Downs
135 x 12 / 60 x 8
135 x 10 / 60 x 8
Headache came back at this point, but I kept motoring through.
135 x 10 / 6 x 8

Wide Grip Pull Downs / Reverse Cable Flys
120 x 15 / 10 x 12, 12
120 x 15 / 10 x 12, 12
120 x 13 / 10 x 12, 12

Suit Case Rows / One Arm High Cable Rows
75s x 8, 65s x 5 / 50 x 12, 12
65s x 10, 60s x 3 / 50 x 12, 12
60s x 12 / 50 x 12, 12

MA (Mechanical Advantage) Pull Ups - UH = Underhand, NG = Neutral Grip, OH = Overhand Grip, all sets and reps with just body weight
UH x 3, NG x 3, OH x 3, NG x 2, UH x 1, UH x 10 sec. hold
UH x 2, NG x 2, OH x 2, NG x 1, UH x 1, UH x 9 sec. hold
UH x 2, NG x 2, OH x 1, NG x 1, UH x 1, UH x 8 sec. hold

Back was fully cooked (and so was my head from the headache), but it was fully pumped as well. The weights were heavy today, but TUT and reps were more my goal.

Notes: Very slight back acne to go along with the very slight chest acne. I know it's early but this, and having to shave everyday instead of every other day are making me think my natural test production is up. Also getting extra grabby with the woman, which she doesn't mind. :yup:

So, I was planning on using the Liver Repair with Menace's E-Ripper, but after several weeks, and multiple PM's and conversations with Menace reps, it's still niot here. This was supposed to work out and coincide together, in order to be able to give both a fair eveluation. For the Finaflex guys who are following along: Would you be aposed to me continuing this log when I'm able to give both a fair shake? I wouldn't be able to run a PH at the moment, but as soon as I'm able could I start this back up. Let me know your thoughts when you're able. Thank you.

Will you be doing this in the next couple of weeks? As long as the hiatus isn't too long - I do not see a problem with it.
