Wade's Lean EFX Refined log

[bigwade800]

I'm taking one as a pre workout this week and next week. Just 1 for each day and then once the holiday is over, I'll be using 2 a day to help burn some fat.

I'll include my workouts and meals shortly. Right now, there is no plan until the holidays are over and then I'll go back to pushing to get down to the 308's.

Reverse hyper: 100x10

Close stance: 55x5
Medium stance: 55x5
Comp stance: 55x5-today was an experiment while trying to hit my numbers. With the weight loss, my leverages, are everywhere. I tried a closer comp stance in oly shoes...

145x3
235x2
add loose belt
325x1
415x1
505x1-tighter belt
575x2-wraps
575x2-widened stance, wraps
575x2-old comp width-better set. The oly shoes were a fail. I could get a good first rep but, the 2nd rep, I would push forward which is not an issue I typically have. So, next week, back to the shoes the got me here and widen the squat.

I called it a day. I'm still shot form the weekend.

Damn thats some huge work in here! Im blown away by your squats!

Im sure after the holidays Lean Efx-Refined will really help cut that weight. Hows the energy?

[mormonpickett]

bro you are a monster over 300lbs!!!

[bigwade800]

This is what I like...it's not something that gets me jazzed so to speak but, there is a long effect of the energy which I really like. I've had stuff that was not on the market/private label that was comparable but, this is the best I've used on the market. I've used stuff that would make me feel like my scalp was peeling off as well. Great for training but, would feel crappy later. I'm really excited to see how this works after the new year.

[Raigs]

Good to hear you liking it so far! Im ready for the holidays to be over and see what you do lol

[supermaz]

subbed in. youre a beast man. keep it going.
silly question though what are "commands"

[Raigs]

I'm guessing since he is a Pl it's commands when to lift

[bigwade800]

That is correct.

I used to be a bit of a beast. Just old man stuff now.

[mormonpickett]

is decline decline bench?

[bigwade800]

Yes

I have two custom adjustable decline benches. While they were terribly expensive, when I was at my heaviest, 350-365, it wasn't uncommon for me to be in the high 500's for 6's so, it had to be sturdy enough, wide enough and have a good enough leg lock on it to do the job. We use an angle that is more steep than a typical fixed commercial decline.

Along with all the other methods out there, I developed this system with my mentor who introduced me to the decline press. We train flat bench and then 72 hours later, use close to medium grip in the decline press. Weight is moderate for reps and no triceps isolation. Remember, my priority was pressing power, not cool looking triceps and the decline took most of the shoulder out of the movement. When I started, I had benched in the 570 area in competition. As a 45 year old master, after squatting over a grand, I benched 700. So, I'm really sold on the system and how it helped me with longevity in the sport.

[Raigs]

DAMN benched 700!

Nice Decline work 455 on a decline wow!

[bigwade800]

[supermaz]

sick vids man. that is beasty.
are you still competing?

[bigwade800]

I haven't competed in PL since last year. This year I shifted my focus to losing weight and have competed in a couple of oly meets. I got married May of this year and that has been my priority. I am still training and my goal is to hopefully compete at 308 and total elite unequipped and equipped.

[bigwade800]

I'm a bit sore, bit tired and I have had what I would call a challenging, on several levels, last 4 weeks. And today, it was more important for me to coach than be a lifter.

Wow killer session even being tired. That chain work always looks good no matter what.

I Hope real life gets easier

[mormonpickett]

gosh dang you lift heavy

[bigwade800]

Kind words.

When I was a bit bigger and stronger, in my prime, I trained way heavy.

There are videos on thebigwade on youtube.

Watched a few and you are Fing Strong!

Hope the holidays treated you well

[ganutrition]

In on this. That is some serious big boy weight you throw around.

[bigwade800]

Kind words, guys. Much appreciated. I'm just trying to stay as strong as I can for as long as I can and stay viable in the strength world.

[ganutrition]

I will be interested to see how lean efx refined does for you when you go to two pills. We had tested on a couple of men over 300lbs when we were finishing up the formulation.
thanks

[bigwade800]

I'll weigh-in probably Wednesday and then start the process. I expect to come in a bit heavier then my low of 314.6 so, we will see. I'll be keeping a food and supp journal as well.

At my strongest, I was 345-365 so, the leverage loss is huge but, we will see once I get to the 305-310 area and start the process of trying to level things out.
