I would be elated !

Especially when you were already in good condition. You were big in Nov. Now you are big and ripped.

Keep doing what you are doing snags !

Striations in chest and more ab definition while still massive = winning

 

[Danb2285]

Your traps tripled in size I think. Lookin boss snags

 

[snagencyV2.0]

thanks guys
the goal has been to stay same weight but just get leaner & harder, so..
in that sense, mission accomplished - just seems like the ~3mo it's been has been forever
i don't keep track of bf% until i get real lean, but weight difference between the two? .2 lbs

 

[Ballesteri]

PX Black in the mix, haven't talked about that since i started MAX PUMP review..
still enjoying this one immensely, nothing has changed as far as effects/tolerance
really a feel good product, and effective; no jitters or crashes..smooth

speaking of feel good - ohh my
MAX PUMP really saturating in today, i feel totally animalistic, like a tightly wound ball of muscular energy
started to really increase yesterday (off day from weights), really good incremetnal increase again today

chest/shoulders this day:
Vascularity/Pump (1-5)
pump was really righteous..i repeat myself, is all i can really say; pumps so good it hurts on some higher rep/slower tempo exercises i am doing (all good tho of course)..vascularity apparent everywhere, just not profuse & garden-hose like
<5>

Muscle Endurance/Stamina (1-5)
handled the combo bodypart just swell, chest first then shoulders..still enuf gas in tank to maul delts, easily
<4.5>

Muscle Strength (1-5)
again - same as above, strength was just fine thruout session..still not going for strength per se
<4.5>

Overall Physical Performance (1-5)
in a word: awesome
<5>

better experience, each & every day

 

[Airborne42]

Max Pump is legit!

Looks good brah but I would need like twice the protein does that really fill you up

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Looks good brah but I would need like twice the protein does that really fill you up

why?
fats are moderately high, plenty of carbs this meal..why would you need excess protein? ~45g there as is
675cals as one of 7 meals this day, 4k cals total..
my daily protein intake is min 300g daily, sometimes go up to 400

you a critic? come at me bro :hitwithrock:

Nah nothing like that, just choppin it up, I usually have at least 90+ grams of protein for dinner and just can't imagine having like half that...

Talk about good pics. I need to eat cleaner like you do !

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Nah nothing like that, just choppin it up, I usually have at least 90+ grams of protein for dinner and just can't imagine having like half that...

only time i ever approach that amount at one time is when i'm eating a 16oz steak or something -- is rare (both figuratively and literally)
otherwise, majority of time i'm in 40-50g range, unless carbs/fats are both moderately lower, then i might get 60-65g in (shake is good example, if i'm ~less than 15g f & 20g c)
if i'm eating bigger carbs, i usually drop protein amount..no need to have both high (carbs are protein-sparing, protein is also carb-sparing)

and again - i prefer to monitor size of my feedings, as i believe it to be preferential for controlling insulin/glucose levels

Talk about good pics. I need to eat cleaner like you do !

love eating clean my man, it's fun

interesting thing tho - my fiber levels have always typically lagged a bit, comparatively speaking..
been supplementing with 10g addtl fiber lately (psyllium husk) - have noticed some nice improvements in various aspects

some news from Finaflex hq this morning

this product is really building up steam now..loving it myself!

(maybe kleen can work his magic with resizing this, as i am not too savvy apparently when it comes to this stuff)


all you Facebook fans - check out our page on that platform, is really cool..
you can see our sponsored athletes here as well

oh - if you're there & can "like" the new post regarding Jamal to win a signed autograph football, would be great!

EDIT: pic now kleened up by mrkleen, thank you sir :box:

 

[MrKleen73]

Good stuff, meal looks great. Next week begins a cut / recomp effort for me. Instead of just trying to cut since I will be adding in 1-Alpha and 550-XD every day. I will work on that picture but with the words too small will make it unreadable.

MAX PUMP review this day
quads/calves:

Vascularity/Pump (1-5)
pump was just -- silly. srs. in fact, not sure it was a good thing this day LOL
read on for details..and why not rated a 5
<4>

Muscle Endurance/Stamina (1-5)
this category as labeled, again just fine..higher reps typically for legs, and was performed efficiently and thoroughly
again read on for details - and agin, why not rated a 5
<4>

Muscle Strength (1-5)
strength levels great, still not going for power yet in my cycling of protocols
<4.5>

Overall Physical Performance (1-5)
okay - let's get involved here
the intent today was quads/hams/calves (last time before i begin to split up quad/ham work and distribute different bodypart combos)
in a word: this was failure. literally.
started out with single-leg extensions to warm up, before advancing to double-leg traditional (this after 7min light cardio)..
had a pump already after my freakin warm-up..moved to ATG squats (3 sets) before going to DB lunges (2 sets, was getting triple-pumped by now)..then i moved to DB jump squats
O..M..G.. was a struggle to get my reps on first set, too damn pumped (almost fell over after rep #8, struggled to 12)
during short rest, knew there was no way i was gonna make it thru this session as planned
so, gutted out another 2 sets jump squats, ran calves (splitting pump here) and called it a day
not a big deal, as i will just run ham work & isolations with a back session in a few days, but still felt a little frustration as i just couldn't complete the day i had planned :shrug:
with that in mind, rating is..
<3.5> pump interfering with training, not a good thing

saturation continues on daily level, is really crazy
also - for first time, i experienced a little of the stomach upset others have mentioned
was mild, and passed quickly, but now i can get a sense of what this feedback is
did not do anything different this day than i had been doing all along either

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Looks good brosef! I ate two cups of beans last night a couple hours before bed hoping the fiber would help clean me out, i.e. BM, so I could have a good weigh in this morning. Totally worked... LOL

You make egg whites look good.

Indeed, but for me nothing beats texas pete or tabasco on egg whites :shoot:

 

[MrKleen73]

Food looks good a huge staple in my diet when taking in carbs is beans, kidney, pinto, & black beans end up being a pretty good amount of the carb intake. Always helps with insulin control and great source of fiber.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

I should have said white sweet potatoes.

Remember going camping when I was little and my dad used to roast them over open fire. Who needs cake and candy when you have sweet potatoes !

 

[snagencyV2.0]

I should have said white sweet potatoes.

ahh yes, of course
and i prolly should say "yams" as everyone else in US seems to do, but i never think of them as such
fyi tho: more beta-carotene content in the orange sweet taters!

random news & notes..

how bout that meteor exploding over mother Russia yesterday? crazy
russia seems to be the target for these events - this one was largest meteor to strike earth since 1908, when exploded over Siberia and leveled 800 sq mi..

i'm watching Touch last night (love that show), and hear this dude say something that correlates to one of my rants from earlier itt: "the average person is lied to up to 200 times a day"
fascinating..

Blade Runner..ooooohhh, Blade Runner
shocking..

any of you guys planning a trip on Carnival Cruiseline any time soon?
wondering..


and in MAX PUMP news: so i took this away from my preWO shake yesterday (truly empty stomach, followed ~20min later w/ shake), and got the stomach discomfort for ~5-10min again..took it today with preWO shake as usual, no issue at all
interesting, and something i definitely feel the creators are going to want to know about
as for effects tho - man they just keep getting better! endurance is shining, recovery awesome, and all-day-pump is sexy..
enlightening
