Putting Formutech's Flexible to the Test!

[TheSwanks]

I don't know. I have no idea when or if they shipped it yet

I think everyone else got theirs so you'd think it's already shipped.

They ship everything at the same time. Max 1 day difference in when they leave the warehouse

 

[double s]

That would be cool. I'm dying to try my first joint supp!

First joint?:fool2:

I see you're leaving the actual weight numbers off of the curls to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves...

I keep forgetting to add in those dang guillotine curls.

Looking forward to when the Flexible kicks in!

Laying down on your back using the high pulley to do curls bringing the curl bar down to your throat. Like a barbell tricep press with the resistance reversed

^^^^ thanks swanky!!

Lol 50s are my best for 10 right now. I've been doing 4 second negatives so 5 sets of 15 with 25s fries my bis pretty thoroughly like that. Haha brings my ego down a lot though.

Slow negs make it a whole different ball game. Here's another one to try. I call them bicep blasters....(standing db curls) 25s, 30s, 35s, 30s, 25s no rest between 10 reps of each =1 set.

Nooooo I just got over the flu. I grew up liking the Niners with Montana. "The Catch" was the first full game I paid attention to. Listened to it with my dad driving across the State when I was 9 and lost my mind for the Niners lol

Damn nice workout there. Any joint pain?

No joints feel good, some pain in my knee but that's never been there so I must've just tweaked it.

I'm in pain just looking at these workouts.

Lol I just get in this crazy zone well you know what I'm talking about

Yesterday was a piss poor day. Didn't train, ate like crap and my team lost! Getting ready to hit it hard though and try to make up for it.

Hmmm 49ers fan? That's ok, I am here in Patriots nation and am soo happy they lost. I am a Dolphins fan so I have no rights to Football...

looks like a mostly db day. never got into doing a total db day. do you do this often? or do you like to mix it up with bb and machines too?

Just a few days to be honest

Ya great sweat, and actually more sore today then I've been in awhile

Just depends really. If I make it to the gym I like doing some bb work but if I'm just training at home it's all db and band work.

 

[niners4reggie]

Joints are feeling pretty damn good right now. Even my elbows which have been bad for months.

Damn just look at that work! I need to figure out a way to do those guillotine curls on the equipment I have available

 

[RegisterJr]

Dayum, Reg. Ya juicin', brah?

I'm going to make a better effort of getting my numbers up there. I thought my biceps were a strong point.

 

[niners4reggie]

Do you have any bands? I've been getting some pretty decent work in with mine. I bought a Tri-band handle and have a 50, 40, and and 30 that I put on it. Works great!

Haha you know me lol!!!!

My biceps have always been my strong point. Now just trying to work on "shaping" my muscles.

I don't but i could get some, good idea!

 

[02sixxer]

Please explain to me a guillotine curl. I am not sure I know what they are.

It's harder to get good shape then to get size. I tell everyone I am as big as I want to get but I want more shape. I want deep deep cuts and round full muscle bellies.
