Wife is an absolute beast! Meaning that in the best way possible of course. Congrats to her - and what a way to finish out! Nothing better than that 1v1 to settle the score in one last event! Awesome!
Wife took 2nd place in the Open 148lb women’s class this weekend at United States Strongman’s Nationals! 🥈 🏋️♀️💪
This is their biggest show annually - over 500 competitors all competing on a...
another side note:
recently found out how to use my insurance for gym fees. it doesn't cover ALL of it, but it cuts my regular gym in half so instead of like $50/month its around $22 I think...
I've been wrapping with a stretch wrap around it. Helps some. I did a back / bicep day yesterday and did fairly well. I did drop weights a bit and up reps. I'll check out that brace, thanks!
Not cheap near me! Unless you want just a single lab done (eg, only total test as example). Minimum for what I would look at is like $200-300 for "comprehensive" hormone panel. They gouge for out...
Couple of Week 4 & general life updates:
1. Got in 35 mins of LISS cardio on the bike, 163 cals burned.
2. Starting Week 4 - 0 RIR week of this meso tomorrow, deload the following. Readiness is...
OP, not that training through it is the right option, but since I'm dealing with similar and have had this pop up in the past - I do recommend a forearm brace. The brand I have is Tomight -...
Yeah, the obvious answer is drink more water. Maybe I'll have to start carrying around those big gallon jugs like back in the day!
Quick upper body session this AM, interrupted a lot by having...
Finally took an evening off from work last night. Fatigue hit hard yesterday late afternoon/early evening around 5 PM.

There isn't a person on these boards who doesn't understand the colorful nature of family dynamics, ain't none of us perfect!
My great grandpa was a wanted moonshiner and bootlegger and I always...
Thanks fellas.
There was a lot of time between seeing a lot of that side of my extended family - and I'm sure you guys know how family dynamics can get. But I was really glad I went to be able...
My condolences for your family member. It’s never easy, and always sobering.
I wasn’t sure if you were doing the core stuff on the mornings you do cardio or on weekends etc when you don’t lift...
Sorry to hear about the death in the family, thats never easy-
I wouldn't be surprised if Jay was still lifting 7 days a week. I know he's still very enhanced, despite not being at competition...
Catching up in here:
I hear you Kleen on the dieting down part being hard for us meatheads when it comes to potential muscle loss. But I think by actually doing it, I overcame that fear part for...

As crazy as it might sound to you, maybe start with like a 60% of training max level - just knowing the issues you're dealing with and how long you've been off this type of compound lifting...
Just measured: I’m 41” at the navel around widest part of love handles/obliques, and 48” relaxed around chest/lats. I’m 5’10” and hit a new recent low of 232.4lbs today before my first meal...
Do you remember early 2000's when Age of Mythology was a PC game? Like 2002 I think. I had some customers up at Microsoft around that time that would go on 5 year plans. Like they literally...
Dang brother, sorry to hear this. Hoping it's not actually serious - while I know you mentioned you'd actually rather for surgery - there's both time, cost, and rehab elements to that.
Was going...
ready for the liftpocalypse.
I’ve just audited/tidied up my supps cupboard and I might not need to spend another penny on supps for the rest of the year, even with my brother helping himself when...
