I spent the whole day outside yesterday, I pretty much just smoked pot and played in my garden. Because I was babysitting my knee, it toke me the entire day to do something that should have took 3...
do you remember what you were at competition on stage? I'd have to measure I think at naval I'm around 34" now (I could be lying to myself) but I've always worn 30s. I think I remember Dexter...
There isn't a person on these boards who doesn't understand the colorful nature of family dynamics, ain't none of us perfect!
My great grandpa was a wanted moonshiner and bootlegger and I always...
Thanks fellas.
There was a lot of time between seeing a lot of that side of my extended family - and I'm sure you guys know how family dynamics can get. But I was really glad I went to be able...
just curious your thoughts on the source of pain. when I tore that ligament I had 2 different professionals tell me that they thought I had over sensitive pain receptors trying to protect an...
Good to hear the knee is doing well!
Not a bad plan at all. After some research i decided to work on more calisthenics, and getting some of my athleticism back. I really miss just being good at...

Seeing all of this extra free time lately... ;) Any are you getting any traction on going in-house with one of the clients so you can have a little life/work balance?
Haven't made it to the gym yet today. Was up way too late working and didn't have it in me for the 5:45a alarm. Did fasted cardio before logging on this morning in my apartment gym; going to try...
I always pictured you up on stage doing the splits like Kai Greene or something.
Actually, just kidding. When I was lean enough to consider making a run at getting on stage it was those types of...
Yeah, I agree, I wish I had been a little more concerned with maintaining movement / athleticism during the 2 years I was training for my contest. I think I did myself a real disservice by trying...
Catching up in here:
I hear you Kleen on the dieting down part being hard for us meatheads when it comes to potential muscle loss. But I think by actually doing it, I overcame that fear part for...
oh I should clear that up I misread your post a bit at first, I thought you were implying the rest between the last sets... as far as rest pause intra set goes, I do it at the worst part of the...
That's exactly what I do [emoji1787]. I still see every working set as though it's an event in a competition even though I'm only competing against myself so the catch 22 with most PL programs for...
