  2. Strength + Size...BC's Tactical Barbell log

    My goals will be two-fold for the next 6 months or so....strength and then size. For the size I'm looking for a gain of about 10-15lbs in quality muscle. This will be my second go around with tactical barbell. Here's the situation. I ran Operator template back in spring: Bench 200/225 Squats...
  3. What supps can younot be without

    Your grandma would love me too ;)
  4. Deload week?

    This. Very effective.
  5. getting big not strong

    You can definitely change your programming to favor mass over strength. I've personally had good results from strength type workouts modified for more mass gains - like Wendlers 531 BBB template, or Tactical Barbell's Mass template. Both focus on heavy compound lifts and use periodization - but...
  6. What supps can younot be without

    Caffeine, there is no life without caffeine. And plain ole creatine monohydrate. And daily zinc. There was a time I couldn't live without trib & tongkat for the mood and libido effects.
  7. DLPA oh my

    I had the same experience - combined dlpa with caffeine tablets too. Felt energetic, fluent, increased libido, and got **** done. However I had the same anxiety and even some depression set in (caffeine withdrawal/slump may have contributed). Now I find it best if I use it once every couple...
  8. Grand Bolas...the magic ingrediant?

    I've tried a bunch of the different types, the expensive Indonesian, 200:1 all that but I got my best results from plain old lj100. But it seems like a very inconsistent herb, hard to get the dosage right.
  9. Wanna get my fitness rolling!

    5/3/1 is great, especially for intermediate lifters. If you're a beginner you may want to take advantage of linear progression while you can and look into Starting Strength. Another great intermediate/advanced program is Tactical Barbell.
  10. Has anyone here taken gaspari anatropin?

    I used a couple bottles - I've had better and I've had worse. I am a hyper responder to mucuna though. I noticed increased energy, felt 'fuller' and a little more pumped throughout the day.
  11. Grand Bolas...the magic ingrediant?

    I think it was the tongkat in the dt. But I never ever got consistent results with Diesel.
  12. From active duty to what exercise science proffession?

    Here's an idea, not 100% fitness related, but food for thought. I'm ex-military. A buddy from my old unit got released a couple years ago and he started advising on local movie and TV sets - things like fire and movement, teaching actors how to handle firearms, formations all that. And I am...
  13. Intermittent fasting

    My two cents, my experience with the warrior diet was that it really messed with my training (weights and boxing) and was not practical for me. Lost strength, muscle and gassed during training, and just didn't like all the 'warrior chocolate bar' 'warrior milk' 'warrior this and warrior that'BS...
  14. What is your favorite cheat meal?

    Spicy Japadogs with the banana peppers and cheese on 'em....must leave this thread before I go on a binge. The pictures are killing me.
  15. DHEA or pregnenolone

    That 5mg dose every other day sounds pretty bang on. I played around with 5-25mg daily, every couple days etc. Anything more than 5-10mg every couple days would give me estrogenic sides. Mid 30s.
