Did 45 minutes of fasted cycling this morning, 40 LISS and 5 HIIT. Went ahead and took my GH in the morning, whacked 500mg l-carn prior as well as a cap of Thermagize XT.
Got all my bloodwork...
Glad to see you back on AM and posting! Someone's got to class up this joint.
Work travel has been ramping up lately, so was up early again yesterday for an all day meeting in NYC. Meant...
I don't think I would have used the word backfired after all the talk about him squeezing his glutes while thinking of you. Just sayin!
I am sure of this, there is a lot of carry-over...
Looking good! A common issue most have with this shot is not allowing yourself to pull up with the arms ao they hit parallel. That will also help you open up the lats vs scrunch the upper back...
Thank you very much!!
Maybe so! That’s good to know it’s not just me! If you don’t mind me asking, how long was her recovery between mastectomy and restoration?
Thank you!!! It is exciting to...
I sure hope so!
Had a pretty good upper body session this morning. Sleep has been a little off the past few days- waking up more throughout the night. So I was a little tired but nothing I...
We are your safe space brother! Also I don't think any of us ever try to post our worst shots. Well unless maybe there is a transformation contest, then bloat it out, don't shave and don't flex...
I did a lot of glute bridges during my rehab. the big 3 for me were the RDL's, very high rack pull Deadlifts to get heavy weight in my hands, which I think stimulates growth/recovery, but safely...

Jumping back in here! It’s been too long!
Still looks like a great session even if you didn’t feel it was a strong day! I feel those shifts a lot! Crazy how one day you can feel that way and...
I have heard some of this analogy before, but not with as much detail, but the gist was stop focusing on the rear view mirror there is a reason it is smaller than the windshield and windows. Man I...
Man I’m so glad you’re feeling better. And thank you for sharing, because not only does it help you, but it can help others when going through similar challenges. I’ve seen firsthand what you can...
@Hyde great response, and advice. While my demeanor was a bit odd yesterday, with a big mix of medications, speeding from my inhaler, and a large burst of androgens from my catch up shot to catch...

I was just watching a clip that basicsaid Smith machines (obviously designed to be safer) are the exact opposite. It showed squat example basically where you essentially can't dump it backwards...

So, I used to always do mixed grip on deads until I met you guys on here. Then the talk about blowing out a bicep got in my head, plus particularly @Dustin07 you use a lot of DOH grip. So that's...
What is your opinion on DOH vs hook vs switch grip in regards to value, preference, science etc? do you feel one is better than the other? I prefer switch as we've discussed. I can DOH pretty...
Thanks fellas. A little stroke of the ego every once and a while does me some good! But I think reality is that I do hold most of my fat in my midsection primarily - so even at my leanest point...
I've never been able to do that. I don't even like the waist band of boxer briefs when I'm sleeping tbh.
Well then you know as well as I do that the discipline/motivation chart still rings...
Cardio this AM: 32 mins, 162 cals. Started slow, but ramped up in the last 10 mins or so in output. Overall felt good.
I finally used up that last bit of Napalm Xtreme, so opened up my bottle of...
Congrats on the PR! Also, what in the Multiplicity do you have going on over there, getting all of that done while working full time. and what work do you have the dumbest one do?
Regarding the caffeine intake, I think it's got like 6-8 hrs half life. So realistically that energy drink or coffee mid-afternoon is still going to be around even if you don't "feel" it by 10-11...
This hits. It's hard being the only fitness minded person among a bunch of normies. [emoji38] But honestly, sometimes you don't even know who is into what until you ask!
Glad to see you on here...
I definitely will!
I plan to be on here more! I’ve missed the community for sure! Other than the people at the gym you guys are the only other ones I’ve shared my progress with! Haha
