In my opinion, you should blast as fast as you can through that low level work (if it’s part of the prescribed 5/3/1 sets) if you can. If it’s just suggested warmup though, I’d say just do what... -

took two days but squat doms are here. holy moly. I should be deadlifting today, but not sure schedule will allow. Tomorrow I have a tight window to build a run for my meat birds. they're at 2...

You're starting calculations look good @Dustin07 - with maybe only bench having started a bit higher comparatively than your other lifts, but as long as you're hitting the numbers no issue there!
-
I get competitive too when I look over and see someone working on the same or similar exercise I’m hitting, especially Bench and OHP. Ha, and when I’m on a deload week, like this week, I have to...

thats my protective casing, and its more like 10 if we're being honest 😂 😂

I set up the program based on these numbers: Squat 315 rather than 365 Deads 425 rather than 485 Bench 295 rather than 305 OHP 185 rather than 205 After one cycle and into week 1 of Cycle 2, the...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.I don't subscribe to height identity, you should not either. I am under 5'8, and I am just a man. If we are thinking positively you are a man who puts his family first, and takes care of...

Thanks man, sometimes I need my AM bros to prop me up! [emoji38] Was there yesterday and I took the shirt off (yes, I'm one of those dudes that generally keeps his shirt on in the pool unless I've...
-
true - yesterday first day at 90F or so and I had to rip the shirt off to work on building my chicken coop. I was like what is this warm stuff.

Thanks brother….yeah there definitely has been some adjusting going on to this heat. It just came on so fast and hard.
-
Seems like when the heat starts cranking for the first week or 2 it zaps me until I start to adjust 😂 Awesome sessions going on man 🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻
-
Yes definitely; at least here in the Midwest skinny fat or outright fat is the norm for a dad at the pool. So if you can show any muscle tone or just not be as fat, you are on the fitter half of...

tbf most guys are completely unaware when girls are flirting, we are sorta stupid like that. lol

I just keep a gallon of salted crystal lite in the fridge at all times, which I pounded through this weekend. and lately I'll just eat a packet or a couple of salt at work and wash it down with my...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread Building Back Up.Agreed, people can get way to deep into the minutia. Do you fell good? Yes, is your bloodwork bad or getting worse? No, outside of the expected increase in Hemoglobin / HCT. If lower dose does not...
-
Hematocrit is often essentially triple whatever the hemoglobin level is (for healthy blood). It’s like having high creatinine is basically a guarantee for reduced eGFR score. They go hand in hand...
-
Nah, those labs are great for me. Actually, when my HCT was 57 and 19.5 HGB I felt good overall (test dose was way too high though). I was properly hydrated for the current results. I’m...
-
I don't know enough about interpreting these results, but in addition to hemoglobin being high out of range, you're borderline for high hematocrit too. All of that to say, you have thicker blood...
-
Got some results back. Doesn’t explain the achiness.
-
Good point. Yeah, I’ll be incrementally increasing.
-
So take more testosterone. I think the whole TRT marketing focus on “optimization” has too many men misled into this idea that there’s a perfect protocol that makes you feel great all the time...

there was a scene in futurama where Fry tells Bender something along the lines "Bender! You haven't had enough alcohol, or maybe you've had too much, I can't remember how it works with you"...

Weight: 208.8 Feel like garbage. Still trying to stay close to 300kcal from what my Fitbit says I burned, but yesterday 400kcal deficit feels like trash today.
-
yeah also true. and its even harder mon-fri after work. brain tired, body not. forcing the body to break down further so it can sleep correctly when brain already shutting down is hard and tbh I...
-
Honestly, think the Atlantis at my other gym feels a bit better than the Pannatta one. Part of that maybe is that I couldn't get the ramps set up high enough on the foot plate to really take...
