Well, this isn’t a Carnivore diet, which is important to consider - I do a lot of shakes, sometimes some cottage cheese, salads several days per week, some nuts and most differently are the...

Yes you certainly cannot raise HDL that significantly without the tremendous increase in fats; that’s the only way I could take a gram of gear, nearly half orals, and have HDL come up so...
-
It’s not really the keto itself , it’s the higher percentage of saturated fats that often accompanies high fat diets. The question really is though what is it doing to the vessel. Carnivore diets...

That’s good that most of your bloodwork is good. I’ve never really thought about a keto diet could raise your LDL, it makes sense, but I didn’t realize it. Anavar was the last of the orals I quit...
-
Often times HDL and LDL will track up together with diet changes. Keto is driving both up. Improvements in hdl often impact the ratio more. How is yours compared to previous? FWIW I take 10 mg of...

Did 45 minutes of fasted cycling this morning, 40 LISS and 5 HIIT. Went ahead and took my GH in the morning, whacked 500mg l-carn prior as well as a cap of Thermagize XT. Got all my bloodwork...

I agree with all that. loved them for RDLs but I had a bad habit of giving up form quality on heavy pulls from the ground when I used straps. although now I'm curious since its been so long...
-
I definitely believe in warming up the mixed grip for the reasons you presented. It’s only hook grip that I meant you can just jump into top intensity, and even then only if very...
-
There’s a lot of truth in what Hyde was saying about using straps. Trying to target a specific body part like RDL/SDL you don’t want your grip to fail before you exhaust the targeted body part...
-
since I cant switch grip cleans or snatch, I have trained a ton of DOH naturally. even though I know I'll likely go to switch grip on my heaviest sets of deads I try to keep it DOH for warm up...
-
The hacks were definitely harder! Part of my brain is always worried that my quads are going to blow off of my knees at the bottom on this hack it feels so heavy, but I just keep going and...
-
That’s a great squat workout….that Hacksquat 320 for 2x10 is just as impressive as the 474x1 squat.💪😎

I think half an inch or so since 250s, but really not much at all for dropping 30lbs - which I think has been key to keeping my bench strength nearly static over the descent. Keeping the muscle...

Have you lost any overall girth on your arms as you’ve trimmed down some ? Curious if that’s gonna help a little bit with range of motion? Actually, kind of curious in general if some change in...

I would not recommend using a grip besides DOH for your deadlifts until it becomes a problem. I do not anticipate you will need to consider it this meet prep, and like you said it will strengthen...

Really need to work on driving my speed up I feel like. I notice a huge difference when I focus on that.

I like those FASSSSSST Deadlift pulls!

dapack replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Congrats on bench!!!!

Congrats on the PR! That is awesome and you had a group to celebrate with that is awesome 😎
-
I appreciate that Seg….the journey has been long, but well worth it.😎👍
-
Awesome to hear the PR! Also really great when it's a come back story, particularly as we all age. But that's both mental toughness/grit, being smart about training, AND playing the long game...
-
Thank you….That’s so true, and it feels like the comebacks that take years to get there are so rewarding. Yeah, in 2024 it felt like I just couldn’t make up any ground, and then the Summer went...

MAN THAT IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE! 🎉🥳🙌🔥 Awesome work. I know what it’s like to go years between PRs. It was 5 & a half years to put 5 more lbs on my deadlift this February. And I have...
