Stimul8ting These Gains With Finaflex

gymwrenchwv said:
I make it a couple different ways as well. Sometimes I add a tbs of vanilla extract to the honey and water. Also I like switching chipotle powder in with the honey/water instead if cinnamon.

The vanilla extract is a real good idea. I didn't use water, I just squirted the honey and stirred everything around until coated. It took about 45 min to bake at 350
 
I know tomorrow I'll have a cheat day that will start in the afternoon cause I have a business dinner in Chicago so basically I'll have dinner and drinks. The dinner is already chosen for you cause it's at the signature room at the top of the John Hancock. Normally the dinner is decently healthy. A filet with a vegetable and some kind of potato I think, which isn't bad but everyone normally hangs out all afternoon Saturday doing some day drinking and shopping, it's a lot of fun. Today's workout was shoulders and triceps.

Seated DB side laterals-ss-seated DB hang swings-ss-dropped to light weight seated DB laterals
4x30's x 10-ss-4x30's x 8-ss-4x10's x 10

Bent over rear delt DB raises-ss-bent over DB hand swings-ss-dropped to light weightDB rear delt raises-ss-incline bench rear delt raises
4x30's x 10-ss-4x30's x 5-ss-4x10's x 10-ss-4x10's x 10
This quad set was awesome and those rear delts were burning, I could barely get 5 of the swings

Leaning DB lat raises
4x30x10
Drop
4x10x10
All sets had a drop to a 10lb DB

Seated DB press
60's x 10
65's x 10
70's x 10
75's x 6
Drop
60's x 8
I know I could of gotten more than 6 on the 75's but I don't have a spotter so I just wanted to be careful. I was really feeling it too which sucked.

Overhead ez bar tricep ext-ss-ez bar upright row
4x75x10-ss-4x75x8
After the last set of ext I brought the ez bar down and started the uprights right away. This was a badass combo.

Ez bar Skullcrushers-ss-ez bar front raises
4x75x10-ss-4x75x8

Bodyweight dips-ss-susp sys face pulls
4x14 reps-ss-4x8 reps
Sick combo, pumped like crazy.

Feet elevated diamond push-ups-ss-meadows wide/collar standing BB press-ss-ez bar ab rollouts
4x10 reps-ss-4x45(just bar)x7-ss-4x5 reps
10 sec rest in between sets.

Oh and my wife took 1/2 scoop of stimul8 and first she loved the flavor. This gave her great energy, her normal favorite is ANS Diablo but I think we might have a replacement! She asked if it is the same type of product, like a thermogenic. I thought they would be in the same category, the reason she asked is because she lost a decent amount of weight on Diablo. I'm pretty sure we will be making a Stimul8 order soon!

Nice work man. Yeah should be in the same category. Stimul8 is pretty thermo from my understanding. Plus I'm sure it's totally different than Diablo. Some shock to the norm might even increase some lb shedding. Everyone I know that's tried stimul8 is an instant fan

Should be out very very soon. It only took Tropical Storm about two weeks to start making waves........ha
 
Ok back at it today. I put my diet on hold for this weekend just to have a great time and enjoy myself. Saturday wasn't bad diet wise except for the alcohol which was whiskey. Sunday my diet sucked, I think I was still drunk half the day. The homes in our neighborhood are selling really well right now so my wife and I are actually considering moving to Chicago to live downtown. We have always loved the city and we figured why not. Anyway I lifted back and hams this morning.

Surprisingly with the crappy food that I had yesterday I'm not really bloated and still pretty defined which is cool. Normally when my food intake isn't the best you can definitely tell in my physique.
 
I got some leg action going this morning! I know I read on one of the other logs that people say the focus is there but the stim is gone. That isn't the case for me, I still get buzzed from it almost every morning. I'll take it.

Squat-ss-single leg toe elevated standing calf raises

Drop
205x6
Drop

Drop
135x11

Bodyweight lunge-ss-dual leg toe elevated standing calf raises
4x15 lunges per leg-ss-4x30 reps
Rests were 10 sec. My legs were burning after these. Anytime I am just doing anything bodyweight and over 12 reps I try to keep my rests very short to turn something that's normally easy into something pretty hard.

Bench squat-ss-leg ext-ss-dual leg toe elevated standing calf raises
4x135x8-ss-4x100x8-ss-4x30 reps
Rests were 5-10 sec. Here as well. My legs were hurting so bad during these. I figured I could get more than 8 reps but hell no. Dem quads were hurting by the 8th rep!

My wife is loving the Stimul8! She stealing 1/2-3/4 scoops from me all the time:)

Power house. Killing it. I Assume the first part is about stimul8?? It's effects never fade for me really. I always take a two day break per week from it also. Now the first and second day I'd def say the stim is stronger but it never goes away for me

today is exactly 2 weeks of taking stimul8 everyday.....maybe a slight drop off but still gets me going....i have noticed that effects don't seem to last quite as long as when i started, but still longer than most stims!!!
 
pete....did i hear correctly? you are planning on leaving us hoosiers?
 
Have to agree with all of you here on Stimul8.

Nice volume once again Pete!

Yes I was talking about stimul8. The stim effect has maybe lessened a little but not much. I've had stims that completely disappear and your like wtf!

We are just looking right now, I guess it depends on a couple factors. The main one is our boys and child care. Right now my mom and my mother in law watch them during the day.

child care is a real roll of the dice...fortunately my kids never had to go that route and hopefully my wife and the other grandmas can cover the grandkids.

Roll of the dice and the biggest scam on the market. I hate paying what I pay for child care

and if you have infants you can't really be sure of the quality of care, no matter how much you are paying!!!
 
Child care is absolutely ridiculous. Even after the tax write off its an insane amount of money.

Lucky for me my mom and sister are able to get our kids from school on the days we aren't able to and watch them. 1400 a month for three kids....No thanks.

the money is only a small part of it....the abuse that happens with non-talking infants is incredible!!! there are stories on the news all the times about infants being abused by child care providers, and for every 1 that gets caught imagine how many that go undetected.

strangers responsible for our childrens care is the number 1 worst thing that came from women joining the work force, imho!!!
