I've never seen that TVP before. I'll have to check out that section at the store next time!

It pretty versatile I think. It's better than breading on meat. Better than croutons in a salad. And beefs up protein in scrambled eggs with low impact otherwise

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Tomorrow should have lots of updates. Pics , measurements , etc... All the good stuff.

Routine tomorrow gonna be a mixture of lots. Complex/compound movements
HIIT training
Accessory stuff( forearms calves neck ) Lots of good stuff for the log hopefully

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Another round of G8. Positive vibes for tomorrow.
Good things to come....

 

[bean5er]

Yeah buddy. Solid updates. I'm loving the appetite and increased agression. Use those correctly and you should enjoy this run.

I'm about to hit up my friend G8 as well.

 

[wasme]

I had to buy other brands, same macros.Got cream of brown rice from Bob's redmillAnd another 2 boxes from bulk barnPost workout was killer today. 2 scoops OEP CNC protein in 2 cups (prepared) then added broken up oreo thinsations as oreo bits.

VERY good! Great work wrench. Everything is looking great from diet to training and so on.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Sleeping in.... Yeah. It just doesn't happen.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Well today is day 5 of Mass550. This is my take so far :

Increased appetite

Increased aggression

Soreness down. Which had been really high for me over the past week. Stopped completely on day 2.

Some leaning out in my arms

 

[Johnold]

Nice! And that's only on two pills

Some good feedback here I'd say!

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Yep. Two pills. My first bottle will be two/daily throughout. Try and give a more accurate review that way. But on my second bottle I'm thinking of double dosing to see how the extended/ compound dose works for me.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Some good feedback here I'd say!

That's the great thing about every supp I've gotten from the crew over at Finaflex , never let's me down. I find it hard to even find anything negative about anything I've taken from them. Thinking....thinking.... Thinking...impossible to find anything negative so far.

Well I'm a big fat liar. Got bored at went to the gym. Shower. Grub. Routine up.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

No help is no excuse I guess. They aren't good to base judgement on but I'm the worst at taking selfies. But here's some starting pics for this run.
Still haven't gotten accurate arm measurements. Hopefully this evening or tomorrow.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

yessir, your selfies need work
from what I can see tho, you keep moving forward, if not as quickly as before (just like you have mentioned)
you created some awesome new habits along the way....I foresee continued good things from you my friend

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Finally found it. Like a nomadic hunter scavenging for food. Like 5 stores before I finally bagged it.

Hahahaha. I know they are bad right?? But I'll take constructive criticism with some complimenting any day. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

It's ok to be a lil jealous fellas... A pre dinner appetizer. My first "cheat" meal in a while.

Tostitos
Wild boar
Organic wasabi and chive goat cheese
Cilantro
Black beans
Sriracha and cholula
Finally topped with salsa

Macros-?? Honestly could care less
Deliciousness- immeasurable

 

[RegisterJr]

Great stuff that the DOMs are gone.

Food looks good. Actually, great on those nachos.

I agree with Snags, you're always progressing. You may never be where YOU want, but you'll always be better than the day before and the other guy with less drive.

Macros-?? Honestly could care less

You mean you "couldn't care less".

Just sayin'.

Yes. Exactly what I meant. That food was amazing. And ur absolutely right on the second point as well. I'm just not where I want to be for as hard as I've been working. I realize it's a marathon not a spring though. Might take a completely different route to training and Supps after I'm done running this Mass550. Just don't know yet.

Couldn't agree more here!! As always well said.

Let me warn you here. You'll never be where you want to be in this game because as we improve where we want to be keeps changing.

Nothing wrong with this either. Also take note that the closer you come to your goal the smaller and less noticeable the changes become. The mind is crazy and will be weeks where you are making progress yet what your mind sees is the opposite lol. I'm interested as to what you mean by taking a completely different route to training and supps.

Switching up from the 5/5 I've been to something higher rep. Like 4/12 or 3/15. Incorporate more cardio. Possibly go down the ds/ph route. Lots of options for change out there. I'm honestly not sure which route or what changes and when I'm wanting to do any of it.

 

[RegisterJr]

I want to introduce PH's soon too, I think...

 

[gymwrenchwv]

And dinner

5 oz 99ff chicken
1 hb egg white
1/4 cup brown/long grain rice mix with some green habanero hot sauce. Mmmmm

 

[gymwrenchwv]

I haven't decided yet. There's a lil research I still wanna do and the rounding up of everything from what I've been researching can be quite the daunting task. But I feel like my body is at a healthy enough point to try said route. Lots of variables to work out yet.

 

[Johnold]

Well if any of you have taken the old ABE from PES then you already have taken them. This is MY strong opinion.


Same with Erase Pro. The old stuff.

But the old ABE. YUP...

Have no idea what either of those are...

Nope. Never had either

 

[Johnold]

Nope. Never had either

I'll get flamed and scalded for saying that but I believe they were VERY MILD PH's.

That's why PES blew up the way they did.

I still like them as a company tho. They were the first supplement company that I started with.

I wish they'd say to their consumers that it was what it WAS. Cause I strongly believe they were. And if I knew that 100% from their mouths, then I'd (PROBABLY) Start taking PH's. I'm 32 years old man. I think it's time. But I LOVE the idea of taking natty supplements first and foremost. That's why I hopped on MASS 550. And to Finaflex, "what I don't know won't hurt me"

At this point, I don't care. I'm already not considered "NATURAL" anymore. And I'm OK with that.

Mass550 is all natural. No worries there. I think there's a time and place for everything. I'm just not at either personally. I have been getting great results with out the ph/ds in my current regiment. Thankfully , in a big way, to the natty products offered by finaflex. I've never taken anything from pes so I can't speak for them.

 

[wasme]

This thread moves like lightning I tell ya.

Wild boar.. how does that taste?

Lucky you on finding the cream of rice.. I am still on a search for the 'orange box' ... so far only found Bobs Red Mill "Brown Rice Ferma - Creamy Rice" ... not exactly the same but the same macros (with 2g of Fibre).

..seems like you did a lot of work for a day off..

And finally FU and your nachos! lol

Finaflex is DEFINITELY a badass company so far. I like them.

But if you EVER wanna experiment with PES's old ABE and Erase Pro. That's IF you can still find their old stuff. You'll see what I mean. But nah, just keep FinaFlexing with MASS 550.

I have used both products in the past and disagree with you. Not going to take it further than that though.
