Supplements:
I am using the “Flex Wheeler Signature Series” as part of my training regimen:
Kre-Alkalyn EFX PRO
Nytric EFX PRO
CELL RUSH
LBA PRO
LG5 PRO
NF-PRO
I felt another surge of strength on Friday while I was doing the Dumb Bell Bench Press. I was supposed to do one rep of 75’s for my new RM but instead did three. I could have gone to 80’s, but I didn’t want to push it since I still had a full workout to complete.
