    I probably would for the thrill of it. Nothing crazy today, just 35 minutes on the elliptical this morning with the usual yohimbe and caffeine. Might do another 30 tonight, as that's seemed to...

    yeah I'm with you, I'm probably not going to risk even light drinking if I'm driving a car in a foreign country on the wrong side of the road. Although it does crack me up, when we go Isla Mujeres...

    thats great advice, and its not even that humbling, its just honest driven adaptation. Goals should be measurable and attainable. There is no reason to set the bar and something we did 20 years...

    That muscle memory + TRT will have you back in no time, and you’ll be really primed when you do run a cycle.💪😎

    I don't use many orals, just gonna hit some deca moderately with my trt. Went without anabolics for 5 years, my test was at 130 when I finally got it tested. Trt is putting my size right back on...

    I guess something worth noting as a positive is my overall strength is up. While nothing is maxed out, everything has been pretty strong across the board. Nothing really lagging, but nothing exciting

    That is very good, and I’ve gradually started getting that mindset. Because I don’t want to be the older guy that says “yeah I used to do…”, but be the one doing things impressive for my age...

    Clint Darden said his coach advised he reset his PRs every decade. This reframes expectations more deliberately, so you can make smarter choices to enjoy your strength training & health instead of...

    You can see in the reflection a little bit of the knee coming in, but generally a pretty decent squat, especially depth, for a young kid hitting a PR.

    It was one of the best Wednesday workouts I have had since doing the cyclic keto with weekend carb-ups. This is extra relevant because it was 85+ degrees after work yesterday. Getting leaner and...

    100% my experience as well, and guilty myself. It’s one of the best parts of commercial gym, the social aspect of the same time of day regulars. But as good for the heart, also bad for training...

    Its also a catch 22 cause now I got my homies in the Tacoma gym, all established relationships via spots and "dude I saw that bench, that was impressive!" type comments, but its easy for...

    I have been sitting on a vial of E for years, so seems like an ideal time as any to see if I can make very low doses work for me before I just chuck it outright. That being said, if it becomes...

    Yep, exactly…. I had benched 235 for 6 and last month on my third week I had put 235 on for the one rep and got 5 with about a 2-3 RIR, but that’s the most weight I’ve put on for bench since 2024...

    isn't 230 x 10 about the highest 10 rep you had taken in the last few months? so with the 531 applied at this point whatever you accomplish from here is new territory for the year?
  • gphagan1
    Yeah, that’s definitely the smart approach. Give that inflamed soft tissue some time to calm down.

    Yeah, not sure what exactly causes it, but I could do without it! ;) Yeah, I had to let it cool down yesterday, moved my appointment to this afternoon and going to tell them we need to back off...

    I agree with @GQdaLEGEND. I am running both right now. I’ve had AXT for the last 4 months and Basis for almost 2 months now. I’ve also run them both solo. I feel more with AXT (drive, motivation...

    You got some quality practice in nonetheless. Training even when life isn’t optimal is part of what it takes to be a successful lifter!
