    k0ng's journey to greatness

    Sorry, I just now saw your post. I can't believe it has been 5 months since I logged onto this board. I'm 29 years old. Yeah, I've been training since I was about 15. My dad bought me a bench, a bar and some weights for my 14th birthday and I started consistently training when I was 15. My dad...

    Sorry bro, been pulling some extra hours at the job and in the gym. I just went 13 days pulling 12-14 hr shifts and worked out every day as well.

    Black bear are one of my favorite animals to hunt. I would have your diaper bear mounted or a rug before no time if I lived there. I've killed 8 (6 with bow, 2 with rifle) since I started hunting. I think the biggest bear I've ever seen before was either in Ohio or West Virginia. The biggest one...

    That's a beautiful view you have there man. Just plain beautiful. Do you have trouble in the summertime with bears? I think I've come to a solution to try either Colorado, Florida, Montana or Minnesota. I'm going to visit each place this summer and make a decision from there. I'd like to be...

    Thinking about moving, suggestions? (Rant)

    We probably just like different areas. I live in a secluded house that is built like a log cabin from inside/out. When I look in my front yard, I see miles and miles of farmland i.e. cows, horses, flat land, straight two lane highways, etc. but when I look behind my house I see mostly hills. At...

    Belly

    I wouldn't do starting strength while cutting calories. Wait until you start a bulking program first, as the program is meant to use progressive resistance training; increasing the weight each session. This is hard to do during a caloric deficit. As mentioned, the ketogenic diet would probably...

    My advice? Keto diet. Read up on it and get to know it. I guarantee you won't regret it.

    Thanks. I think you may be onto something with the cycling the conditioning/volume. Maybe have one session dedicated to pure strength and another session dedicated to dynamics/repetition? I'm going to try to put something together to find the medial between the two...

    I spent a lot of my childhood in North Carolina. I've lived in Asheboro, Hickory, Greensboro and Mount Airy. I would highly consider moving back to North Carolina, but I don't think I'd consider South Carolina. I actually drove down to Georgia last night just riding around, thinking about...

    I remember in a previous thread someone asked me why I keep three guns in my truck. Situations like this statement that I bolded are exactly why. You never know...

    Whats better? Olive or coconut oil?

    I use them both. I add olive oil to my salads (admittedly) and take it in my protein shake before bed and I add coconut oil to my post-workout shake.
