    Bro you missed a whole prep lol. Thank you though. Scroll back a few pages; I just competed down in the 220 class. Going to go down one more to make 198 before going back up again.

    New weekly low of 217.4lbs this morning after a lean 1,400 cal Friday (4 whey shakes & 2 cans of sardines in hot sauce). I am also looking leaner with more detail for sure; I was seeing veins in...

    Yessir; I was worried how the high reps would go on keto since by Friday I’ve used up a lot of my glycogen already. But I started light enough that it wasn’t an issue. Getting this bigger fridge...

    So I spent today cleaning up that mess and got another pile of 10ft logs stacked and delimbed. I'd love to put a small barn with three stalls right where that tree is, but it has a view of the...

    This big tree had fallen naturally years ago but since then a couple other big dogs, bout 50ft+ tall and 9-12+" diameter had fallen across it.

    I honestly don't think about it a whole lot. I think about it enough to not pound energy drinks before bed, and I think about it in the same way that I think "I need to eat a salad" after three...

    Can’t say that I notice any difference. There is one preworkout I can’t do in the evening and that is edge of insanity, other then that seem to be fine.

    And ghosts! Apparently in @Dustin07 case. [emoji38] On average my guess is around 600mg. For me a typical day could be, PreWO: 150-300mg caffeine AM coffee (80-100mg) PM soda ( Similar...

    Caffeine absolutely is a PED. It’s well documented - I believe force output was found to continue to increase through 600mg! And the LD50 is something like multiple grams, so even that big acute...

    No, but 100mg or whatever doesn’t do what it used to right? Eventually, it only brings you up to “normal”, so you’re just operating at a deficit until it had enough caffeine to get back to normal...

    Something about getting into your late 30s or 40s that makes you feel incredibly good when you can hit PRs. Something about defying aging while most of the humans in the country are sitting around...

    I put a lot of stock in rep PRs. They give you something powerful to drive your training, something that gets you fired up to reach for more. If you are doing things you have never done, you are...

    I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat. It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own...

    Resets are internet non-sense. That’s not how your receptors work. You can take a very long period off, you add caffeine back, and it feels incredible for about 3 days. Then you begin to...
