That makes a lot of sense and I really appreciate you breaking that down for me. Now I’ll be pinning after my last meal and not waiting 2 hours!
I figured as good as those numbers looked that you probably didn’t have to battle any pain, before I even read it….That’s great…..oh and really good pulls too.
It get better side-wise with use. Been running 2.5iu alongside TRT year round and crank up to 5iu when blasting for short periods. When I first started even 2 iu was giving sides and CTS effects. Plug all mine right before bed, works quite well, serum levels remain elevated for 24 hrs after the initial 4 hr spike, no need to over complicate unless you’re training for the Olympia.
Glad to know the sides will get better. I went back to 2.5 last night and no issues this morning. I’d like to run it for a while too but damn it gets pricy!
I’d run longer vs higher dose if the bigger dose means you won’t be able to afford to stay on the low dose. If you spend $200/kit, that’s $2/iu - so 5iu is $10/day. You could run a gram of primo e/wk for less even.
Yeah lots of orals are hard to find too.Except there is no primo to be had right now
Sad times

My wife would tell you I can remember all kinds of random facts, like who lifted what weight for some record, yet still forget to take out the trash that goes out every week on the same day
Yeah I have that problem too. I can tell you the body metabolizes .0165 grams of ethanol alcohol per hour, on average, but can’t tell you if we have ketchup in the fridge.Well, said another way, you could run 2,500mg/wk of all the other basic oils for less than the cost of 5iu/day. Basically as much AAS as someone could want to run can be done for less than half a vial of GH daily.
You’ve gotta get a better source if you’re having problems with orals! That’s not really a thing right now, beyond less-connected sources not being able to get anything.

What about dropping the low incline bench for a while and replace it with low incline dumbbell bench? Also replace the dips with rolling dumbbell Tricep extensions with high reps? At least that will give you a work around on this specific day built the shoulder and elbow feel better.
Man I hate it when a session goes like that….everything just feels off and then the pain makes it worse. Hopefully you’ll be able to find your groove next time.
That’s impressive…..strong woman.

Thank you! Met with my ART guy and he did some extensive testing - he determined the restriction in joint mobility today is not being limited by tissue. Things are not gunky/sticky enough to be the culprit: it’s being restricted from inflammation in the actual elbow capsule.
Yeah, her numbers are really impressive for any female lifter, but especially for her size. A 380 deadlift at her weight would be impressive for a guy, but it’s way more impressive for her. And her having better technique just means she’s going to just keep getting better and setting PRs. Who knows she may surprise herself and be able to pull 390 at Worlds.
Man that’s awesome and impressive!
Don't know how you can get tested down, drink it10oz cooked chicken breast is ~65g protein.

Little salt & pepper, it’s almost like a cold chicken soup. Well, that’s what I tell myself lol. But it beats chewing for 10 years.
never thought of thinking of it as chicken soup. That makes a huge difference in my mind lol! I would actually try that now with some poultry seasoning in addition to the salt and pepper. Do you use water or chicken broth as the liquid base?
Water, but I’ve used warm broth before and it’s definitely better.
Sounds like a blast and congrats to your buddy!
dude was looking to get his first 1,000 and then CRUSHED it with 1096 and squatted 391 with a 209 bench? Dude looks primed to build some huge numbers.
I have been thinking about reinstating these lately.10oz cooked chicken breast is ~65g protein.

Huge difference, I make mine with a good bit of carne asada seasoning in it. It's like a chicken bisque.
I found I much preferred using super hot tap water, this helped with the mindset that I was just turning up the bottom of a bowl of soup. Honestly with the carne asada seasoning in there, the most unpleasant part is the smell. It just doesn't smell that great.
Nah, you can't get much easier to digest protein short of protein powder. It won't sit on your stomach, it is damn near digested before you put it in your mouth due to being blended.
He’s a classic conventional deadlifter build, about 6ft. At only about 200lbs, he really needs another 40 to start to fill out his frame correctly for a decent benchpress, but he will over time. He’s not only been benching a few years, and powerlifting much less. He just needs more to time to build up his arms and legs further; it’s mainly back strength for now.
That’s pretty cool, you taking him under your wing and working with him some?
that sounds a lot like my little brother, he's like 6'3" and 225lbs. squatted 365 within 3 months of "learning" how to squat. his PR squats and pulls are both higher than mine but his bench lingers about 50lbs below. still, he has that prototypical athletic 'look' and probably could have gone pro in just about any sport if he had wanted to.
Well he’s definitely not like that; he had to work for every pound of that squat. This guy is a tall long-armed scrawny ex-junkie beanpole, nothing like an athlete build. This dude puts on fat easy without a disciplined diet, and no visible muscle tone originally.
That’s a good solid session….and your bench, deadlift, and squat numbers have really been impressive considering you’ve had to work around some nagging injuries, and you have cut some weight. That just goes to show when you know what you’re doing, and intelligently work around injuries, that as long as it’s nothing serious, you can keep that train rolling. Definitely motivation for me to intelligently keep that train rolling in my own training.
The main thing I think worth taking away for anyone, is you should just do the best you can with what you’ve got, wherever you are at with things right now, as consistently as you can.That’s a good solid session….and your bench, deadlift, and squat numbers have really been impressive considering you’ve had to work around some nagging injuries, and you have cut some weight.

That was a really good workout, and the good mornings with the giant cambered bar at 316 & 321 for 8 are extremely impressive. You can definitely tell you were in the zone.
This is awesome. Excited for this random dude I don’t know, haha. That's just the iron brotherhood I guess.
It’s a recovery/PT tool that’s basically a plastic U shape base you can lay on/over to press into areas around the hip and low back (to help release them when tightened up).
