Before and Afters

**AlexRogers** · 12-11-2007, 09:14 AM

I am giving away a couple bottles for proteinfactory.com customers to test a new nutraceutical called fucoxanthin. It comes from seaweed from Japan is studies are showing it to be very promising to reduce bodyfat. I gave bottles away to customers that submitted their pics, one male and one female.

Here is the first BEFORE pic of FIT42. Here is what I emailed her

Here’s my initial thoughts…

Upper looks really good. don’t change a thing there. All I would do is hardcore free weights. Barbell benches, dips, shoulder press, deadlifts.

Lower body. More muscle mass. And that’s nearly impossible if you are an ectomorph. But here is what I would do.

Here is what I do for legs and it varies
Last workout I did
35 REPS of hack squats 3 sets

35 reps of squats 3 sets

35 reps of lunges 3 sets
before that I did heavy 6 to -8 reps only
Two things that will make a big difference in your tuk es’
Stiff legged dead lifts. Make sure you do them right. (keep back arched whole movement, I see too many people rounded the back. Do them heavy. 6 to 8 reps…DO THEM RIGHT!!

Regular dead lifts. Make sure you do them right.

Lastly, once you build up your hamstrings and back (I forgot the name of this exercise), but take a barbell off the squat rack and bend over, keep the back arched. This really busts the hamstrings and butt.

Don’t worry about emailing me lots of ?’s I don’t care…its my job…J

I beleive its called "good morning" Alex. It really does bust the hams. I use it in rotaion all the time.
