Finaflex reps:
What kind of gains could one expect to see with the following cycle:
Week 1-8- 4 bottles 550xd black
Week 1-4. 2 bottles 1 alpha
Week 5-8. 2 bottles Epi-V

Diet and workout plans being on point as well

Thanks

How much of each? Recommended dosage?
 
How much of each? Recommended dosage?

Well I have seen some logs where 550xd had been run at 4 caps a day for like 8 weeks, alpha 1 also 4 caps a day for the first 4 weeks, and epi-v 4 caps a day for the last 4 weeks. So 8 caps per day total the whole way through. Seems like a lot, but I have seen it being done
 
now you got me thinking about future cycles -_-

I am always thinking of taking nee supplements. I have an addiction to them. And i think that is the whole point of this forum and the supplement industry ads.
The truth is that most of the supps we take are really expensive hobbies.
Pre-workouts, post workouts, all these test boosters.
A lot of the stuff we take supps for can be accomplished with good proper diet and workout program

whether rec dosage or not - results you ask? immensely spectacular -- provided of course everything else (diet/training etc) is on point
that is a beast stack, and have run exactly those products together myself during my current prep for national show (only, my dosage was even higher than what you refer to there)..unreal gains, really, for being 2-step conversions and non-methylated ie very safe and non-toxic to body :)

That is what I like to hear.
So those dosages are safe then?

well..let me answer this, in such a way that I maintain appropriate guidance and recommendations the company would like me to work within ahaaaa:
I will never come out and advise such, nor mention that it is a possibility..nor will I tell you sure man, go for it..
but what i'll say is, these are the safest prohormones on the market, really bar none..i have already mentioned a hint as to what I was doing (and actually posted my dosages, in my own thread)..and I will be clear that you risk very little sides (which if do occur can be alleviated by our PCT Black while on cycle, anyway)..and will even stretch to say that altho not recommended, personally I still see no issues of poor risk to safety, strictly speaking..

but I will stop short of anything further, and refuse to advise you on this other than to say it is more than what we recommend

from there, you will have to use personal deduction, to decipher what you feel I am saying
fair enough? :D
 
Any new 550xd plans?
nope, that one is gone as well, no name continuation of 550 will happen
I foresee a point in the not-too-distant future, that we will no longer produce anything hormonal, at all..
simply the best-made natural products available, with constant new forays into new and exciting ideas and compounds

stock up while ya can folks :)

will try! would it be possible to cut while on 1-alpha or would that be counter productive (for future)
 
Day 15

decided to rest today and switch my split to a 5 day
so far ive split it up into

monday: chest
tuesday: legs/calfs
wednesday: back
thursday: shoulders/calfs
friday: tri/bi

all followed by postworkout cardio: walking incline 30 mins

abs are whenever. debating whether or not to put in deadlifting on back day or would at all possible to do it on friday to have a deadlifting day followed by arms.

while most would wish to bulk (nice clean/lean bulk preferably) on this compound - the reality is, it is quite versatile and there is not one "set" thing you can do with it at all
in fact in a cut, most certainly would maximize any potential muscle gain, while protecting muscles from being chewed up if you happen to hit caloric deficit too hard and too low
wonderful compound, truly - no matter what the goal, and no matter if run solo, or stacked with something else
 
Day 16. Chest
weight. 162.7 i guess the 164 was just water weight. but nevertheless anything above 160 is progress.
i hope i can reach 165 solid by the end of this.

decided to go traditional 5 day split, mass volume and alot of contractions and squeezing when possible
decided to put bench back, and use a slightly narrower grip about 1 inch inwards from the outside line
the result of that, was less pressure on shoulder which was good

bench:
155x6
165x6
170x7
170x5

I'll suggest it again. ... ditch the smith machine. Use a hammer strength if you want a machine. Smith for bench movements is no bueno.

If I go very very wide on the smith I get a lot out of it. The smith I use has full range of motion though so that might make a difference.
 
I had used a smith for squats and for bench so I could go heavy without a spotter, but I decided to do without to benefit my body more
 
Smith machines can pay dividends, in regards to isolation techniques. OTOH, you won't get the core benefits associated with free form lifting, where supporting cast muscle groups are more involved. Each serves a purpose and can be beneficial when used correctly.
 
Smith is only good for certain things. I don't like it much for bench but it is great for JM Press. Also good for Shoulder Press lockouts again that is a partial movement. Smiths aren't too bad for squatting with correct foot placement but as far as using for bench pressing. I agree with the others it can cause some serious shoulder issues. Especially if they are already problematic.

That intense FINAFLEX stack described earlier is close to something I ran earlier this year. I got great results, although the dose was above the recommended and my personal experience was no sides to speak of at all. If it is run I would love to follow the log on it.
 
Day18, had to skip, some things came up. Day19 will log later today.

I'll just drop smiths and find something else.

The same thing you are attempting to hit using incline smith can be achieved through different exercises. Look into different variations of the hex press, and you can also try reverse grip barbell bench. Just a couple of suggestions.

Good stuff!
 
I never use a smith machine, at all - I do not own one, and train in my garage
I have a safety cage rack, this serves all of my purposes (ie safety) as I train alone as well
free weights and dumbbells, FTW!
 
back later today and I'm excited. :p would it be wise to do traps on back or shoulder day.
typically is done on shoulder days by most, really does not matter in the grand scheme of things, depending on how your particular program is set up/convenience of where to place it should be most logical & beneficial for your own goals

notes: decided to try the rack pulls as a finisher type movement but by that point i was tired it just did a number on my hands.
and being short as i am 5'6" starting point was above my knee, may have to add something under me, or i go back to regular dl at beginning of workout
 
I like traps on shoulder day. I'm working the delts so might as well work the traps too.

Starting DB press weight at the start of the log? How much have you improved on that exercise?

but i did bench prior to it, but now im going to a regular 5 day split and see how that works for me.
so far, it did help with the amount my shoulders could handle. and less shoulder imflammation for now.
