    When I was in my early 20's my buddy got married to a nurse. He had some medical issue and his insurance didn't want to pay it. The next year he got on his wife's insurance and opted out of his...

    Unfortunately, I will not be able to get any treatments next week. I will be working in Dallas, but I can still do the neck stretches and some other things to try to make a little progress.

    Yeah, unfortunately insurance is being slow to approve the injections, if they even will. It is ridiculous how much we pay for insurance to have to fight any time you want to use it for what it is...

    Thanks gents, looks like we may be in the clear. I still have quite the runny nose and a stuffy ear making it a bit harder to hear lately, but other than that feeling generally OK. Got 33 mins...

    I was planning to do one more double before the AMRAP. The current song was ending; I told myself as soon as next song starts I’m pulling. Then THAT banger intro comes on, so I felt overwhelmingly...

    My non-expert opinion is, using the same grip on incline tends to put more stress on the pecs than many would prefer. And a slightly closer grip increases ROM, and also builds up the arms better...

    Thats what I was thinking when you mentioned guys on a blast. My strength gains are going to be far more moderate, and things should be able to catch up. I do think the extra pec engagement I'm...

    same! I truly don't see a lot of hobbies in my 2026 schedule. If you look at the back of my car at any given time I typically have at least 3 pairs of shoes lined up nicely. My flats, my trainers...

    This was big for me, realizing true gym shoes should be carried into the gym. It extends the life so dramatically of something you already decided works for you.

    Thats exactly what I do, when my trainers need to be replaced for the gym, I relegate them to yard shoes (mowing, garden, etc). My gym shoes pretty much stay in the gymbag or car so they never...

    You know, all this shoe talk makes me want to get some new kicks as well. My Rock UA trainers are 6 years old now and the stitching is coming apart at the top. But they were never really the right...

    We’re close in shoe size. I was wondering if they were true to size or ran small/bigger. Go to know about the insert. I’m curious as to how much that insert helps on bench, like could I just never...

    So I wore them for all the squatting last night, and I feel confident in saying they’ll be a decided improvement from a Chuck for you. But so would those Avancus or a pair of Notorious Lift, both...

    Well, glad you finally made it out! I hate when airlines push the delays multiple times. I'd honestly rather them cancel, so you can plan accordingly. We had that happen once to us coming home...

    AI would prioritize pecs and arms before an extended period off 😂 I’m always thinking, better hit a lot of muscle with squats or pulls if I’m going to be out several days!
