The USAPL btw is drug tested, with no therapeutic exceptions even for medically-administered TRT. So anyone competing in that fed needs to probably be off ANY hormones or SERMs for several months... -
gphagan1 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Glad to hear your knee is doing better, and that you were able to do some squats, that’s great. I feel you on that scar tissue pop…. I was finally able to do more than just my rehab work on legs...

Got us last year too. Think we set the MLB record for most WAR on the IL that season.

nice PR on the squats!!! Did you rig up full chicken tractors? I can't leave by birds unfenced, we have too many predators from eagles and hawks to coons, possums and yotes and weasels but I'm...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Yep. I hate the baseball classic too, because I’m always afraid Acuna is going to get hurt. He has one gear….all out 100%.
-
so I really dislike Tarik Skubal because I think his personality on the field is pretty douchey, but this is one of the reasons I grew respect for him this year, when he bailed on the Classic to...

Sounds like you are loving life right now, even being busy. Make sure to enjoy this.
-
It’s a good busy for sure. I missed having projects and stuff to do and I like the kids trying to help and see that it’s good to do work and have a sense of accomplishment! Yeah I was surprised...

Think the Astros lost 3 pitchers to the IL during the series against the Mariners lol.
-
gphagan1 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Yeah injuries are a killer to a good team. That’s what has cost the Braves the last 2 years.
-
Dodgers are going to be a tough team this year too, I think. I figured M's sweeping the 'stros would be a tone setter and here we are giving it up to the Padres this week so IDK lol. I'm pretty...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Weights up, scales down….Yeah, definitely sounds like you’re busy, but the end result will be worth it all. Good job getting some workouts in, and congrats on the PR.

Whew been busy! Got some pens built for the chickens and ducks to be able to move around the yard. Once they are bigger they can free roam. Got the second half of the concrete poured for the...
-
amen to that! well I think if I've learned anything from Hyde and Skraw, its always "is the juice worth the squeeze" and whats most importan to you. You could always put on 100lbs and see where...
-
While I also think of myself as the "grill master" honestly, any woman who is willing to cook a good meal for you, that's love right there. Never turn it down! Hah, speak for yourselves! I'm using...
-
nice thing about being gymrats is that if our a.d.d. kicks in there is always another goal to chase short term to keep us focused, but we'll always be somehow strength and fitness focused. I'll...

I feel you, i worked a demanding physical job also in the sun during summer and couldnt progress for my life. On cycle I could but it was still subpar when I look back. Basically on cycle i didnt... -
gphagan1 replied to the thread The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out.Of course your strength will go up quicker on a bulk, but your true dilemma is how many calories you regularly burn during the Summer. So to gain I’m sure you would probably have to be 4000+. So I...

Remember when @Hyde was bulking for his bench bench back around NYE of 2023 (i think it was '23?? 24 maybe?) and he was eating like it WAS his job... IDK how you struggle at 200 lol but I know...
-
Ok gentlemen, I need some help with direction from you guys. Had a 3 day run of mayhem, I probably worked 40-45hrs in the past 3 days and maybe 10 total hours of sleep. Calories were hard to get...
-
dude that is so true. I've probably said 100 times over the years that even if the supplements off me a 1/2% improvement, my discipline and output are probably 99.5% more on point. although...
-
I think a big part of the top paragraph is that when not spending the money on the supplements you don't have the same urgency to stick to things. When supplementing non-staple items most of us...

I could be wrong here but I do think this is where guys like you and I need to be careful and dilligent because I sometimes notice the same thing, so then its easy to get a little sloppy. All the...

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.I know, 305 is a really good bench, but like you said we’re surrounded by some crazy strong dudes so it really does drive you. But the benefit with that is we get to see like Hyde and SkRaw and...
-
Its kinda funny when we are in here surrounded by crazy strong dudes all the time that I would say "only" 305lbs. It doesn't feel significant but sometimes when you stop and think about the...
-
IDK sounds like your new goal has been unlocked! I hear you on the touch and go. When I gave Cube a try after seeing Hyde's success on it I was doing a lot more pause work. My best bench raw is...

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.This is the state bench record in the USA Powerlifting database. It’s 341.7 lbs . He also set the total record. I really couldn’t do the squat or deadlift, but that bench possibly looks reachable...
