Thanks everyone for the good luck! Weight was made easily and handily - their scale was genuinely reading people about a whole kilogram light based on what people had on their own scales before... -
Thanks GP! While the trip itself I know will be exhausting (flights and time zone change alone), I am really looking forward to being back out in LV. It's been a while - and if I can get in that...

my first rodizio was at that hotel in mexico on Isla Mujeres and my mind was blown, so when they invited me to the vegas one I was quick to say yes lol

Cycle 4 was my hardest mentally to keep showing up and chasing those numbers, I've never survived 531 past 3 cycles before, but now as I enter my deload, I'm getting pretty optimistic about...

Crushing it lately. Things definitely seem like younare moving in the right direction

I see a lot of debates online about machines vs barbell, specifically for legs and I think this run on 531 has also verified what I already knew. There just isn't any replacement for barbell work...

I'm also still running life raw, with nothing but my pump addict preWO in my system and occasional creatine (usually on Sundays since I have Steves SNS stuff in stock at home for the wife). I feel...

they felt good! the first rep is always the hardest for me, once I have it up, I can usually tell if I have a few more. This was supposed to be week 3 of cycle 4 and I somehow missed a deadlift...

Got it, thanks fellas! I might just do that, as I don't currently have a set plan yet for the training to get back in heavy lifting shape. -

Dang man. Truly don't know what others have been through in life. Glad you came out on the other side, but that is wild man. Lucky too brother, as that could've ended up very differently.

Wife is only a couple pounds up and weighins aren’t for another 13 hours, so we’re looking golden for that. She’s been dry fasting all day. One hot epsom bath of moderate length early morning...
