Yeah, I need to be able to push on something hard, otherwise I get board and disenchanted with the whole process. It is just frustrating at that point.
Yeah, once you get to a certain age, and or...
I have come to the same realization over the years. Gotta work around the stuff I can and decide what level of wear and tear is safe to push through and what to work around. If I just stop my...
Those bagels look fire 🔥! My wife has been on the sourdough kick for a year maybe more so lots of sourdough loafs here as well. Also sourdough pancakes, my personal favorite!!
I may never successfully cut again. My wife has progressed from making English muffins, to sourdough (amazing) to this supply of bagels she just texted me.
Yeah, so I was doing RDLs and empty BB sets during my hypertrophy mesos, but tbh I don't want to do any extra lower back work outside of actual DLs if I can avoid it, as between that and squats my...
Yesterday only got in a quick 20 mins of cardio on the bike. But finally finished up chopping and getting rid of the fallen tree branches in the yard. So more active work in the AM.
Today's...
I think I’ve definitely added some tissue just looking back at old pictures. Not going to really change anything up just going to keep plugging along at what I have been doing!

Another thing I was thinking aside from the potassium is honestly the water. Now you may be drinking the exact same total amount of fluid either way, measuring and simply replacing with the drinks...
I definitely think it is right to keep track of these things and see if you can find the reason, just don't commit to the "can't do" to heartily off of a correlation unless it proves itself to...
Weight: 206.0 again.
Slept awesome last night, and drinking a low sugar Gatorade and a Powerade Zero really make the difference in sleep in a steep deficit. It sounds crazy but even Grok...
Well done! A top 3 for your class, and a top 4 overall is awesome - especially since it was your first show. Conditioning looked great. Also, sounds like a great post-show plan and hearing that...
Hey everybody! So, 1st show. I got 3rd place in Masters Men's Physique. Realistically I was hoping for a top 3 but of course training for 1st. That's the only way to do it! I also did true novice...
Glad to hear the deadlifts went well! Yellowstone is on are list coming up once the little guy is a little older. So I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
Yellowstone is one of the National Parks my wife and I haven’t been to, but will some day. Sounds like that will be a great trip for you and your family.
Never been but sounds like it will be fun!
Might be good to start taking some family walks often to help lay a little base of stamina for the kids. People may not equate 20-30 walks with real...
