Only needed 1 on top set, but these felt strong even with a slight...
This is what I was driving at, perfectly laid out. I don’t think I really dialed in until this last year or so. Truthfully still have a **** ton to learn ion all aspects of lifting.
But...
Ok, helpful! And would the same principle apply for benching with elbow sleeves and wrist wraps? Ie., sleeves the whole time, wrist wraps one set or so before "needing" them?
Out of prep, I tend to put them on before I even squat the bar, or within a plate or two certainly even in summer.
If it’s warm out in prep, I will try to go without them so I don’t have to...
I think I had heard mast has a bit of an anti-e effect. Do you find that's enough to counteract the 19-nor effects for potential gyno flare? Again, unsure how sensitive you are to that, but heard...
I’ve been blessed with 3.3 acres. I built the pole barn structure during COVID, and have been finishing it since then (installed the lighting/electrical, workbenches, pallet racks, spray foam, 2...
you didnt' ask me, Seg but i'll pipe in anyways. I put my sleeves on before I put my pants on in the locker room. they stay on until my leg pump forces me to strip them down to the ankles or get...
When the first gal came out with basically grey sweat pants that were cut off or rolled up to her knees and a white shirt with black polka dots on, I thought... she must have a bathing suit on...
Well it comes back to something i was going to mention when you asked me the other day regarding the CNS stuff, but then I lost it in another browser. That is that if you are doing an AMRAP, and...
Been thinking about that. The local farm I've been at a bit lately picked them up for $4k for 800sq ft units. their new one is 4 stalls (1 chicken, 1 goat, 2 pig). they poured a concrete slab walk...
So, to clarify, do you use them for warm up weights as well?
I tend to go no sleeves, no belt until I am closer to my top sets. But think I should just wear both the whole time?
I mean look if it’s 2 plates or whatever and it’s warm months in the gym/where you train then I get it. Especially if the person has less than a decade of lifting. But seriously, at any weight and...

Amazon prices can be hard to beat. I always found MyProtein to be one of the cheapest places to buy a good quality protein powder.
I don't use the powders much these days, so not sure that is...
@manifesto it is hit and miss with what is in stock but if you aren't afraid of protein close to or a little beyond it's Best By date then I would try Supplementhunt.com. I often grab stuff from...
You know there’s like 10,000 guys your age who would give anything to be able to do dips again, right? That blew my mind a little bit that it’s no issue with your collarbone thing right now. Very...
This is super cool! That wall of the Spiderman comics in your home is awesome, good luck on finding the last few.
I used to have a ton of old GI Joe's and Transformers, but somewhere along the...
Got my results back from my doctor. Prior to losing weight my testosterone level was 265. It is now 295, so there was a 10% improvement. My blood pressure was 110/72, total cholesterol was 174...
That was the starting point, T=0, 19.6 so relatively low.
Nope, back to maintenance or slightly above right now. Just eating looser since coming off several months of focused cutting.
But I am...
This is interesting and I'll have to video it to be sure, but generally I think I place my thumb knuckle on the transition between the smooth and knurled part of the bar. So it should be about a...
