  3. Question on shoulder injury...

    Close to 4 weeks ago, I was doing standing military press when i felt a series of cracks in my shoulder and sharp pain. I did one more rep thinking that it was nothing serious and felt and even sharper pain. I've been resting it pretty much since then going really light on bench days and the...

  7. Pre-Training Meal Ideas?

    I'm hoping some of you who are much wiser than I can tell me some good pre-training meals to eat. Since I'm a bigger guy I tend to eat just about anything I want throughout the day, except I try to keep breakfast good. If it's any help, here's a sample of what I typically eat in a day before...
  8. First workout with USP labs Jack3d!

    I was a little worried about taking Jack3d after several reviews I had read about people not being able to sleep. First, I enjoy drinking soda, and I figured Jack3d would be a good way to stop this unhealthy habbit due to the amounts of caffine in each. I took it as directed about 30 minutes...

  14. Inzer Predators vs Metal Ace Pro Briefs

    I have never bought any form of suit/shirt/brief for powerlifting and these are going to be my first purchase of gear. I've heard these are the two best choices and I was looking for advice on which would be best. Some important info (I think): I use a sumo stance for deadlift, and a wide...
  15. Sumo Deadlift Help

    My best conventional pull was in a high school competition in 2008, where I pulled 540lbs. I'm playing around with the stance and I'm going to give conventional a try once again, however, I figured since I have very wide hips sumo would be the best choice in the long run.
