For your pull ups, does neutral grip mean palms facing towards each other? Parallel?

hairygrandpa said:
Yep. Supposedly the easiest pull ups, not for me though.
Click to expand...

Since my shoulder surgery that is the only pull up that I can do. And up until recently I couldn't even do those. They work well enough for me, with minimal impact on my shoulder, although I can't quite fully extend at the bottom of the exercise, I just don't have the ROM to do that, and am afraid to "let it hang" for fear of tearing the muscle capsule (scar tissue that formed post-surgery) in an uncontrolled fashion. Tearing it in a controlled fashion, under anesthesia, is actually a form of treatment *shudder*.

Nice work big man. Yeah the only scary thing in your cycle is the insulin but if you do it correctly you should be just fine. Not something I will mess with right now. I do have some Metformin I can use when I am ready.

I have a bottle of metformin from when I was prescribed it some time back. How would you incorporate it into a workout stack and at what dosages?

Nice work. Never tried to hold my raises for 25sec. Holy sh it .
Going on a RV adventure (HGP RV vacation) sounds like a new movie.

The RV adventure is a test to see if its an acceptable retirement lifestyle for me and my wife
My plan is to retire in 6-8 years and make RV boondocking a somewhat permanent thing.
Lived most of my life working insides, I refuse to end my life this way.

When flights are booked, I'll tag my AM homies to see if anyone likes to be visited who lives between Jacksonville (FL) and Austin (TX).
Studhorse , are you on my route?

No sir. I'm in Tulsa, OK about 6hrs away from Austin. Don't think I will be in TX in August. Austin is a great place except the university of Texas.

I will be on tour for 3 weeks, plenty of time to cruise around.
Hm, its a bit to the north from my planed route. Depends if anyone wants a visit from me, who also lives around your area -and we may meet :) .
No financial interests on my part, LOL! Only having BBQ, shaking hands, sight seeing and nature in mind. :)

sounds like you got a great getaway planned. and when it comes to barbecue you won't have a problem finding good places in TX.

Go find an A.R.T. practitioner and have them break that up for you. Yeah it hurts but within 3-4 treatments you will notice massive improvements and depending on the amount of time the scar tissue has been there it may take up to 8 treatments but 4 typically takes care of most things. YES it is painful, but it is also definitely worth it.

Just like what it says on the bottle would be fine, the half life is just over 6 hours so if you make sure to take it twice during your waking hours that would be the way to go. Like Morning and Mid Afternoon or something. Otherwise you could definitely take it 30 minutes prior to your workout so it is full effect by the time the workout is done to help shuttle things into the system.

I am pretty much DIRECTLY on that route. You will be driving through Houston on I-10 if you take the normal route across from Florida to Austin. Also there is a brand new RV park opening some time in the next month or so about 4 blocks from my house!!!! We can kill it in the garage!

Not sure yet where we starting from. Miami or Orlando, still figuring out rental prices, but almost certainly passing near Jacksonville! Prepare to be hugged by a hairy German, lol!

When I mentioned BBQ, I meant doing it by myself, LOL -but the "real" BBQ of the Southern States is worldwide considered the very best, I'm exited to try!

you should swing by MS and let BEAST73 hook you up with some gumbo!

Sounds Good!

This would be fantastic, I'm going through Mississippi following the coastline! A training session with the BEAST73 would give me instant gains, LOL!

My route is planed (not fully thought out yet) along the gulf coast with final "RV return" in Austin, using no highway if possible (wanna see something of Murica, besides concrete and cars). Route is still hypothetical and may change. A few hundred miles off course is welcome too, if the area is safe and has some nice views -or hiking possibilities.
Yeah! Lets kill it in the garage -and later I may throw a BBQ for us with a post workout in the form of beer at the resort! My daughter (12yo) is with us, she may need some lifting lessons from your daughter.

I did ART for the first couple of months after I finished rehab, back when I lived up in NC. I agree that it hurts like h*ll, but is worth it. I attribute any current ROM to the ART therapy I did. I was going twice a week (glutton for punishment). But since we moved back to Fl I can't seem to find a decent practitioner locally. but to be fair I have not looked in over a year.

So for the metformin it is just to mimic the insulin response similar to taking in carbs in a post-workout shake? I used to take it when I hit bottom with my diet. I was fat and my insulin sensitivity was for crap, even after I started eating cleaner. I took it for over a year or so and it helped "reset" my sensitivity. I have been off of it for over a year now, but still have some left. I think I was on 750mg daily, but here in Fl the 500mg dosage is free, so I think that is what I have left in the medicine cabinet. If I really wanted I could get a refill from my doctor, just wasn't sure the benefit for lifting/building. I am less of a fan of GDAs and more so for partitioners (or as some people call them "selective GDAs"). Agmatine is my favorite in that category. If I recall it almost guarantees that the nutrients/glucose get flushed into the muscles. but I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic?
 
For the bro's who are open to the idea being visited -and those who are not sure if its a good idea:

I'm a non- invasive, uncomplicated type of person and utterly undemanding.
This goes for my wife too, not so much for my "princess daughter", lol. We do not expect being serviced or cared for.

I imagine it to be a relaxed meeting anywhere possible, with a few hours of hanging around, swinger party, oily massages and nude body painting.
If you could supply the drugs like heroin -or meth would be great!

I am sorry, but I missed the post with your projected travel dates?

Also my wife and 10 yo daughter are about the same, undemanding of anyone else (except of me *sigh*)

We are looking at late August as a possible start date. Be prepared for a visit around late August- first week of September.
Nothing is fixed yet, we are still searching for rebates in air fare and rental. There is the slight possibility something goes sour, business wise or health -or whatever life throws at us.
 
We should have a Hairygrandpa party and get all the members of AM down to Miami ...even better if he flies in and doesn't know he will be getting greeted by a bunch if crazy guys on AM!

Will my tinfoil hat suffice, or do I have to have a blue shower cap. I'd hate to show up wearing the wrong one. That would just look stupid.

Unfortunately, no. I've actually been considering taking a few days and heading south. Without looking, I'm guessing I'm 12 - 14 hours from Austin. I would consider that time well spent. H3ll, maybe we can talk ryane87 and Brandinooooo into all meeting somewhere for an adult beverage or 3. You could show us some of those sweet karate moves.

I'm guessing he'll be taking I-10 out of Florida, if he's ending up in Austin. We could all meet somewhere north of 10.
 
Shyt, I'm only 9 hours from Jackson! Ryan could head east a few hours, hgp could head north a little. Aren't you in Tennessee Brandon?
 
You three figure it out how (where) it's best for us to meet, has to be in a 100 mile radius of Austin -or elsewhere along the route. Will PM all of you when plane tickets are bought, to figure out a date and time -and to exchange some phone numbers too.
Will wear the blue shower cap, that way you will recognize me in a crowd. :)

D@mnit, I'm in New England. I am not even close to being close. I live near a beach though...lots of summer tourists here...won't be as hot as TX or FL in August. Maybe you should make a change of plans....actually...no, I can't do that to ya. New England sucks.
 
By the way, started yesterday with the insulin...
It's like I suspected, it has an almost immediate cosmetic effect, I look more roundish today (in a good way).
No sides whatsoever.

Heard my name?? Also this is not true you've been sent numerous of pictures of my dong!!!


I've tried posting pics in logs before but up until recently the am app wouldn't​ let me at all. Now I have no logs requiring me to post pic of me. Plus rather stay anonymous as people I interact view AM alot rather not have my self on this to be tied to. Especially with work they fire people over dumb sht. I've actually had a co-worker ask my about I post I posted and had no clue I posted it.(made me laugh a little). Now if things change I'll gladly post pics of myself!
