I'm a big fan. My old gym in Austin had one, and I'd use it all the time. Probably my favorite squat pattern for quads, but you're right that they are heavy as ****. Part of the reason I decided... -
Never did a pendulum squat until I went to EliteFTS in December. I think I maybe got 8 with 115, possibly 135; the loading was crazy, especially wearing lifters. Couldn’t decide if it was going to...
-
man thats usually the worst lol. I tend to wake up at like 4:15-4:20 and if I even think about falling back asleep for some reason the 4:30am alarm clock is ten times more miserable 😂

Legs from this morning. Crashed hard last night on my couch around 8:30 and woke up at 3:30ish. Went back to bed for an hour or so and then got up for the gym. Felt pretty good, all things...

Nah, that's the building's responsibility and they hire illegal immigrants for that.

Okay so pressure wash piss off the sidewalk?

you don't technically need a yard to walk around with a mower shirtless, I've seen it downtown seattle but he might have been on the fenty idk
-
I do most of those things shirtless here right now. Mowing is how I establish my base summer tan and I’m not putting a shirt on to run out to the curb for mail/trash. I’ve already switched to...

thats awesome dude, I would say that my benefits have been basically the same. improved energy in the winter, improved vision (proven by dr), skin seems better, hair is improved (although I...

My vision has improved since red light as well! I no longer need glasses driving at night. Glad to hear you guys confirm. I use a (gym/spa) bed 2x+ a month for full body/mitochondrial, an at home...

tbf, sunlight is free if you go outside. not sure your work schedule but Hubberman talks a lot about sunrise and sunset light spectrum. What region are you in? I definitely think northern climates...

I don’t think I’ve used any Dbol since 2023, besides maybe 2-3 days during a meet week in summer of ‘25.
-
Yep, 16 weeks from last Sunday. It’s close enough I can probably start a blast whenever, but since I need to lose weight I’ll have to be easier on the anabolics. Primarily just trying to leverage...

just saw this and it cracked me up:

It certainly seems like you're in the sweet spot right now with solid balance. You said about 4 months till the meet? I know it will sneak up but sure seems like a great place to be, to be able to...
-
you could do a lot worse than moving slightly less weight for a few days! I've avoided 531 for a long time cause with AMRAPS, Jokers, BBB etc I would run myself into the absolute ground and those...

Like I said before, a true gym rat can always find a target to work towards. I see 8lbs in your future! -

Haha funny you say that! I tell my hubby all the time that I like him and that’s a big deal! Loving someone and liking them can be drastically different things. [emoji38] That’s great! So nice...

Awwwww, thanks! I do kinda like her! Yes, it is pretty awesome even if only once a week. She called me yesterday to tell me she was in the middle of her cool down and she did a proper lower body...

I was under the impression oral testosterone was ineffective. Curious how well this works. Not for me, but perhaps replacing my wife's pellets. The trough she goes through every few months is just...

I'm actually sorta surprised, if a bunch of us can see your focus, thoughtfulness, and passion for what you do and they don't, then it sorta seems like maybe they would not be a good fit for you...

I think you'd really like it. I thought a lot about how much you like swimming and how much I say I don't, then I find myself out there in the salt effortlessly once I got comfortable with the...

I see where you were being conservative on the lower body movements, but your upper body is not getting the same love. While your shoulder press is 90% of your recent max, your bench is almost 97%...
