    FWIW even though I don't really believe in spot reduction beyond bro science, I used to apply the carnitine to the shoulders and arms because it was an easy spot. lately I've been applying it to...

    The Yohimbine 2.5 is Yohimbine HCL, slightly different from Alpha. Alpha Yohimbine is typically a little smoother and lasts a bit longer, HCL is a bit more aggressive. I like HCL before a workout...

    Yeah 220 is probably the most common men’s weightclass in local powerlifting in America. Since 5’10” is the national average, and powerlifting is about moving weight & not so much diet for most...

    When it comes to ingesting massive amounts of food to grow, I agree with Dave Crossland's line of thought, boiled chicken breast and rice. I think eating anything just to hit caloric need is...

    Ya, 198-208lbs seems to be my set point. I typically will accidentally fall in that range without trying too hard. I also have had a really bad aching right knee lately. The pain in my knee comes...

    I don't think I can keep up with the calories. Not without eating lots of garbage. Staying well hydrated get tuff too. Last summer I looked amazing and my strength was really good around.....205...

    I haven't really had much to log and I had some family stuff I been dealing with, kinda stressful stuff. Working a lot too. I'm also trying to reconstruct my garden and get it ready for this year...

    I forgot to say, on training days it’s during training which could be 6am or 12pm. Off days it’s just with any meal…no pattern.

    That’s cool you are able to lift with your daughter. Hopefully the knee isn’t a big issue, just a little stiffness to work out. Glad everything else was feeling good and you’ve been able to keep...

    Oh wow, I didn’t know that….yeah won’t be doing that one, because I really wouldn’t want to be off TRT for months. Man I’m glad you told me. Well I wouldn’t have set that high of a bench as a goal...

    I think you should do the contest if you want, enter 220, and just let your bodyweight do whatever you can manage reasonably. If you come in at 203, that’s totally fine - this is probably how most...

    I got no advise... good to see you check in. I get a little concerned when we don't hear from you for a few days.

    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...

    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...

    Carbs do lower cortisol. Is that Gatorade consumed during an evening training session or morning?

    Here’s hoping the knee keeps building this positive momentum for you! And nice work sticking out a heavy single - those are the ones that make your mind stronger.

    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...
