There is the pens behind the mom and dads house still need to make the top and rig up some wheels for it.
-
all of this!
-
Congrats on the PR! Numbers are looking strong even with all the other stuff going on.
-
That’s what it is. I don’t enjoy squat or leg training, it’s hard & scary & makes me anxious before kicking my ass. But to actually PR your squat, is beautiful because of the difficulty and fear...
-
I could see arguments in both directions, you won't be applying 5-3-1 to deadlifts or squats right? A 225 x 10 bench probably does put you around 300lbs (so 275 TM seems approriate on paper?) but...
-
Can you remind me, have you mentioned what dose of TRT you're on and have you done bloodwork lately? Curious at what test levels, etc. you're keeping hormones at if you're willing to share.
-
Awesome session and excited to see the progress on 5/3/1!!

even on those days I'm feeling tired I just remind myself that if I make to the gym to lift the management will probably pump in some yoga pants through the hvac to make the visit worth it.
-
Yeah man I have no desire to be off TRT…. I feel too good to risk throwing a monkey wrench into things.
-
Yes, I was able to do a short bike ride last Sunday, and in the morning my Grandson and I are going to start back on our Saturday morning bike rides, and go through the bike trails that go through...
-
it definitely seems like you have been in a better place mentally and your strength has come back big time since getting back into routine, I remember when you took a break and it seemed pretty...
-
Where do you apply your carnitine? by default I had historically always used shoulders/arms but lately have been using torso and I think I like it. Sorry the travel is beating you up so much, I...
-
Thanks Kleen. I'm somewhat just operating on autopilot tbh. There are so many deadlines hitting all at once at work that I'm having to really pull "overtime" (I'm salaried though, so no benefit...
-
You have already had lots of good advice in here, so I can say just keep your head up, and don't dwell to much on the why, but focus on positive things, while you keep doing what is needed and I...
-
that might be why just that little bit of xpg dhea seemed to serve me pretty well with no noticeable sides. it wasn't that I felt something, it was more that I just noticed even keel balance...
-
Estrogen is one of those things where the right amount adds tremendous well-being and balance to every aspect of health. But if it gets too high, you will be irritable and have issues. So it...
-
One thing I notice with almost every one of us here in AM is that after a really big hard push, there is a period of struggle bus, be it mentally, or CNS, or injuries. You've made massive progress...
-
Thanks for the advice fellas. Always appreciated. Yeah. Sometimes for me vacation is a double-edged sword. It's such a big build up, that the let down after can kind of mess with me head. Back in...
-
I agree with Hyde and Jim….munch on some carrots, broccoli, maybe an apple or some blueberries or blackberries. That should give you a nice clean boost without gaining fat.
-
Agree with everything Hyde said. Even berries are super high fiber and low calorie to volume. I personally like blackberries, but most any berry would be ok.
-
And don’t sweat the missed workouts like you said, just do what you can to get back on the course & try to roll with life as you can.
-
Well, not going to lie gents. It's been a rough go of it since being back. One, as mentioned my daughter was sick with the stomach bug on something she picked up, so that naturally just threw...
-
My brovice is try to add in more veggies or low cal foods on top to raise satiety. You’re not going to get fat munching on some extra baby carrots, broccoli, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes. Maybe...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Agreed. Would just be trying to hold and hope for a better day since deads were horrible last meet.
-
Yeah man June would be a really fast turnaround. Tough to make progress in such a short time anyway.
