Yeah I could have sworn I mentioned in your log about Chris Duffin using oral PEA supplements and injectable KLOW daily with his IBS/Crohn’s/gut issue clients, but it may have been a different log...
-
Oh that is very interesting on the PEA helping with that.

Thank you! It’s not bad at all the way stuff like DMZ is, but I can tell appetite is starting to take a bit of hit now that it’s been a few weeks of Var and some Tbol more recently. No acid...

When it is hard getting some good pizza down you know the orals are having their way with you. Congrats to your wife. That v-taper is looking good!

Glad to hear the deadlifts went well! Yellowstone is on are list coming up once the little guy is a little older. So I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
-
FWIW when doing BBB I will mix it up sometimes. for instance: with squats I might explore a slightly wider stance for some sets. I might do 2-3 sets low bar and the other sets high bar. for...

Yellowstone is one of the National Parks my wife and I haven’t been to, but will some day. Sounds like that will be a great trip for you and your family.
-
Never been but sounds like it will be fun! Might be good to start taking some family walks often to help lay a little base of stamina for the kids. People may not equate 20-30 walks with real...

Just remember that is a 600lb PR! Then you can build up from there!

Machine press would be great. You have to be realistic about how much you can handle and have time for, but 2-3 sets each of light closegrip bench and machine press are definitely solid ideas...
-
Machine press would be fine, and something similar is okay, you just want to get the extra volume in. Like machine presses 4 x 10, maybe some close grip bench 5 x 10….close grip bench really helps...
-
Ran out of time this AM. My goal is to put some hypertrophy/accessory work in after. Was originally thinking of doing some seated chest press or seated machine flys. Is machine press too similar?
-
You only have to put in an opening attempt for each lift at weighins, so it’s best to always put an easy opener. Then based on how that goes, during the meet you will walk over to the score table...

Also, overdue but here are some of the pictures I promised from my visit to Newtech Gym in Vegas! A couple of shots to show the size & number of DBs and machines, a close up of the...

Bench Day Warm up routine, as usual. 45x10 95x8 125x3 125x3 125x6 - AMRAP 135x3 - Joker 145x3 - Joker Stopped here as not to overdue it in Week 1. Definitely felt I could have done more weight...

Yeah, I was using it more to try and figure out where my meso will end me. More a gauge of how I should potentially be progressing during these next several weeks. Do you normally have to call...

All the blood values make sense - hematocrit should rise with more test, and SHBG definitely drop. It’s great PSA hasn’t risen, as a small but unlucky percentage can see prostate issues. Always...

lol I remember a $2500 MRI when I had insurance, so I yeah I'd say $450 is good. I want to say my wife's are like $5k ea but because of the cancer all things related to that (including lifetime... -

Agreed! With this one being so cheap part of me wants to have the bottom part of my neck done as well just to know what I am dealing with. Agreed, when he told me I was shocked, I truly expected...

Smart move! And yeah that’s a great price for a MRI!

Excited for you to get to move forward on this! Sometimes you just have to make a way, even if it sucks - it’s still the best path to get where you want to go.

Oh, I am skipping waiting. I am going to pay the $450 out of pocket to get the MRI done, and if we find something insurance has to deal with regarding surgery, then we will present that. If not, I...

Man I feel you on that, wanting to get stuff done to take advantage of your deductible. It kills me how the insurance companies make you jump through hoops to get something done even though the...

Yeah, I need to be able to push on something hard, otherwise I get board and disenchanted with the whole process. It is just frustrating at that point. Yeah, once you get to a certain age, and or...

I have come to the same realization over the years. Gotta work around the stuff I can and decide what level of wear and tear is safe to push through and what to work around. If I just stop my...

What is funny is I got on here to give an status update and got distracted. The last week and a half I have been pushing things harder anywhere I can. I decided what I love is the hard work, the...

Somewild times man! Pretty sure my parents still have a tub full of readers digests. I don’t know why but when I think of readers digest I can still hear Paul Harvey on the radio, “and now you...

I used to do a lot more writing back in the day. Hard to find the energy for it recently, but maybe I'll pick up the hobby again if the new work schedule allows.
