  1. Sleep issues

    I haven't taken it alone but I think it may have been in supplements I've taken in the past

  2. Sleep issues

    If you have tips on the Carpal tunnel issue I would love to hear them. It sucks

  3. Sleep issues

    I'm not quite that bad but like you I really don't want to give up my coffee. I do go with days where I have less caffeine so it works better on days where I need it. I think my biggest sleep issue is the carpal tunnel in my hands. I've been researching exercises to try to get it under...

  4. Topic of the Week: The Single Best Supplement You've Taken

    Probably creatine but I can remember the first concentrated preworkout I used called Ultimate Orange. That stuff got me pretty wound up but also cost me a lot of sleep.

  5. Sleep issues

    I've been using ZMA for a while and it does help. Just started 1XPM that includes GABA and it seems pretty good. I think the headaches may have been related to dark chocolate. I've noticed in the past that a lot of dark chocolate or dark chocolate on consecutive days seems to trigger a...

  6. Sleep issues

    I ordered some decaf, hopefully that will help. I only take preworkout on my heavy squat or deadlift days so thats only two days a week and drink coffee on the other days. The biggest problem is I love coffee. I pretty much only drink water and coffee but I think it would be easier to cut out...

  7. Sleep issues

    Straigthen and pull arm back like the traditional pec stretch then pull your head away. Bring your arm in then bring your head in. Repeat several times then reverse the order. It definitely seems to help and after a while I don't seem to have to do it as often. I may try cutting back on...

  8. Sleep issues

    I don't think I've ever been a very good sleeper but it seems to be getting worse. I'm pretty sure its training related and I don't want to give that up but want to try to fix some issues. One issue I've had pretty much since the beginning of my training days is my hands going numb while I...

  9. Cereal Killers

    Just finished off a box of Magic spoon berry. Anyone else try this stuff? It does kind of have a chalky after taste but is pretty good and has better macros than regular cereal

  10. How much muscle did you add naturally before you plateaued?

    I think I put on about 20 my first year (18yo) then 15 the year after and about 5 the 2 after that. I'm 5'10ish and I started around 150 pounds and made it over 200 but I felt like crap. It seems like 170 is the sweet spot and I fluctuate between 170-180.

  11. Post abdominal surgery rehabilitation

    A year, that would suck, my surgeon said I can start lifting after 6 weeks which is going to be hard. I plan on starting with body weight to gain confidence but it may be quite a while before I can do any of the heavy strenuous exercises. Was it a year before you were cleared or a year...

  12. Joints

    I’m restricted as far as training so it may be a while before I can really tell if it is making a difference but I'm recovering from surgery I going to give gelatin a try. I was having some knee issues and read good things about gelatin protein. I started mixing a tablespoon with my afternoon...

  13. KT Tape ?

    I've used it and researched it and the trusted reviewers all seem to say its more or less snake oil. As someone who has a pretty badly torn pec I wouldn't trust it. I would just go with some really light weight and high reps for a while to rehab it.

  14. Post abdominal surgery rehabilitation

    I’m 40 and recently had abdominal surgery due to a condition called intussusception. This is pretty rare in adults but I guess I am a rare adult. I’ve been given a 10lb restriction for 6 weeks from the surgery but the doctor said cardio is fine. He okayed me to jog and even do hill sprints...

  15. Headaches after BCAA's

    I'll have to try it again but I think I get the headaches even when I don't play basketball after taking BCAA's
