Congratulations! Better to finish strong knowing there was a little more, than to be wishing you had called less & give up all the poundage. Now you have your first real meet PR on the books - nothing wrong with gym lifts, but this will be on record in this comp from here on. You’ll be able to...

Fighting at the highest level, it’s just a given there will be guys who will do whatever they think they can get away with for an edge. While it’s not impossible NB’s raws weren’t just contaminated, it’s about 100x more likely that dumb-dumb put some in the containers he submitted for testing...

I really don’t, but I also recall generally having way more issues with them when I was younger. All Out doesn’t seem to be so bad; any inconvenience of them now is definitely offset by how great this product tastes. I look forward to taking All Out.

I love the Alan Thrall video where he explains the “origins” of the SLDL vs RDL techniques. RDL: “Once there was a boy named Roman, and every time he would lift weights his grandmother would shout at him, ‘Roman! Don’t be dropping those weights on the floor & making all that racket!’, so he had...

You’re not in any particular danger of continuing the LGD, but since you will need to PCT anyway and there’s not as much benefit to staying on it at this point… I agree with the message that you sometimes need to take a step back and find what you can do safely, and just go toward whatever that...

Yeah, maybe some of the women! The Bulgarian weightlifting men’s team was running like 80-130mg Dbol per day for select lifters when peaking for the Olympics. Bottles and bottles of 5mg tabs. Plus some small amount of Deca on top.

Leg size is really about the volume for me, not how heavy I’m lifting at all, for sure.

I really like these jumps - and go with your gut on the third. After seeing how your second feels, pick your third attempt as a weight you believe you can hit - then go down 2.5kg/5.5lbs from that! Lots of variables you’ll be adapting to, so be flexible and enjoy the day. Hope you crush it...

Gotta rub my ears when that happens - once I rub the area, it’s like it goes away for good!

We’ll be here when you are ready!

I think more than the dose is simply frequency of exposure at a site. If the gel is on the skin, if it doesn’t get breaks (and/or moisturized) it will develop a rash eventually if exposure outpaces recovery speed. Now imagine you had chosen something like Trest Ace for your bottle/day, and...

Not a Texas problem, but I train with 2 guys who have worked for EV companies (Tesla and Rivian) and serious cold just destroys them. The guy said when he was in Chicago people brought Teslas in all the time in winter that the deep cold had taken them out. $9,000 for new batteries on regular...

That second part, in my case, is as much the reason as I love working with him - he has earned my trust to the point I seek his input on acute training decisions. I look forward to bouncing things off of him to help decide between movement selection, things to avoid or lean into based on my...
