I measured my waist at the navel this morning, around the widest part of the love handle/oblique:down to 37.5-38”. It was ~43.5-44” when I was in the 250s in February. So I’ve lost about half a... -
Sounds like on the mend and after the weekend of rest will be ready to crank it up 💪🏻

same, never occurred to me to question them until COVID, now I question everything. our neighbors I am convinced do it for political purposes. they got 4 vaccines last month, were sick for the...

Yeah, I mean my office supplies them usually so if I have time I will stop by and take the shot, if not I don't. I have never had a vaccine make me feel bad that I can remember so that wouldn't be...

Oh the flu kicks my butt! I just realized eventually that 4-5 days lost once a decade is better than 1-2 annually. I realize I’m an outlier, but that’s what I’m working with.
-
I think I grew up living under a rock, the only vaccine I was aware of after like age 4 childhood stuff was tetanus. by the time I realized people were getting a flu vaccine I was probably 30 and...
-
I used to be pretty regular with the flu vaccines, but I have not had one in probably 5 years. I did get the flu last year, but the whole house ended up getting it and me after the rest of the...

I used to get flu vaccines until I realized I reacted particularly poorly - as a mechanic I’d have to take a full day off work to recover usually. They’d basically make me sick for a day or two...

Good to hear you are on the mend!

I'm with you across the board there. I do think that in addition to the physical and mental health benefits at the gym, we also gain some added level of immune protection being exposed to so many...

oh yeah for sure, lots of alcohol free ways to make that home remedy work. most guys I know who don't drink, do use cannabis, and even that added in liquid form would help with the sleep aid and...

Add some ginger to that hot toddy! Whiskey, hot water, honey, lemon, and ginger! Now I don't drink anymore these days, so it'd be a lot less enjoyable, but I'd probably still do the combo even...

I go back and forth on it but there is a part of me that thinks if I'm unwell enough to think I want nyquil then my own corn whiskey with some local honey seems like the reasonable alternative for...

Nothing like a drunk Grandma to bring the fun in! Peppermint Schnapps... WHEW! Should have got her a Rumplemints or whatever it was called byt the same company that did Firewater. It was 100 proof...

Oh yeah, you absolutely need deloads recovering from injuries. I was like Dustin and really used to not value them and appreciate how they help. There’s no doubt in my mind that deloads are a big...
-
oh man its going around again big time. sounds like you have the same regiment as my wife and I. if either of us starts to feel anything, we immediately grab pho from a place in town we know uses...
-
Yeah, watching all of you guys frequent deloads made me realize even though I may not feel I am doing tons, I am really pushing myself so I need deloads too. Especially with my injuries I am...
-
Yeah it really is…it gives the body a chance to heal before getting back in the zone.💪

Hope the crud goes away quickly! But isn't also a great feeling when deload comes at just the right moment??

Truthfully, with every one of us, it all hinges on how healthy we are. And the progress you’re making is still progress, but it does feel good when you can come out on the other side of injuries...

Man it was a blast. Not a fan of Denver, but the red rocks amphitheater is one of the most stunning concert venues I could ever think of. We got there way early and just walked around the park...

This has helped, after doing some lighter side lateral raises with strap on wrists, some lying dumbbell laterals. Prolotherapy, is that where they inject fish oil , and some other things into... -

For me if I can do a lunge pain free that day, I am pretty good for any leg work I choose. The stability needed for the single leg work just lets me know exactly where my knee is at that day.

Yeah she did, and it helps a lot but squatting, and lunging and stuff can get pretty painful. SO I am limited to lower weight leg press, and leg extensions right nw. I can still work hamstrings...
