    The prospect of losing 25lbs is intimidating! I know I can do it, but what it will do to my strength I’m not sure. I know I can get it back regardless eventually though, so I’ll need to remember...

    too bad we don't know exact lean mass then vs now from like a dexa etc. I would suspect 220 is going to be larger this time, you've had lots of time to build since then. I mean I'm considerably...

    Yeah, I think you will be a different beast at 220 this time. You have definitely added some muscle tissue in the last couple of years.

    I think so. After Easter’s high squat volume (with low %) the strained area was a bit sore the next day, but now a week later and doing almost no volume it does not seem to be. So absolute load...

    Some good training going on in here. hate to hear about the elbow, but we already know this is a constant battle for you, and one you will persevere through. I for one am definitely interested...

    Sweet, and of course it is not all about the money, but I was curious. I will be curious to see if you notice a huge difference in quality of home grown over store bought. I wouldn't mind some egg...

    It wont' always work out this way, but one reason we got 10 birds instead of 5 was Wilco had a deal. Buy a bag of feed and get 5 birds for free 😂 we are in a local co-op as well where we get...

    these are the cones some people use. you can just mount it to a tree, or a 4x4, or whatever you want, then it restrains the bird, makes dispatch a bit easier, and you can let them bleed out while...

    So, I have to ask what is the process for processing a chicken exactly? Do you snap the neck, or cut the head off to kill them, do you hang them upside down to bleed them out? Do you have to pull...

    Awesome to hear you had such an awesome bench. Seems like being around 200lbs suits you well! Congratulations on that.
