    Tossing Weight With Torobestia: Powerlifting Log

    So, I actually went to the gym and did some lower body stuff. I deleted most of my videos by mistake (don't ask how, I just know they were on my tablet at one point and the next they're gone). I basically did some goblet squats, barbell squats (with an actual straight bar to boot, though I...

    I've definitely come around to the idea of progesterone supplementation for men on TRT. There was a guy (who used to be) active on this board, a 40+ year old AM veteran, who first introduced me to the concept. I think his name was Whacked . Anyways, I don't really remember what these links...

    the napalm detroit barbell experience...

    You know, this stereotype is very strong and deeply rooted, but I have to say that most of the people I've run into at UVa are very nice people. In fact, I used to hit the frats pretty hard my first two years in college, and there was only 1 frat out of the 8 or so I visited that was douchy...

    the napalm detroit barbell experience...

    I don't know if this helps, but think of this. There are 2 ways to bring the bar down, muscularly speaking. One way, you curl the bar down. The other way, you row the bar down. Even sitting or standing up, try to bring your hands to where the bar touches your chest on the bench by flexing your...

    I live a mile from UVa, so looks like we can't be friends until midnight, or tomorrow.

    I like the bar high for me. That way I can move it to set my lats. Honestly, with really heavy weight, I more or less just pull-down the bar to my sternum...

    I'm not familiar with DHEA supplementation, so I can't comment on the protocol for DHEA. DHEA is going to be indirectly inhibitory depending on it's conversion rate to test in your body and on your genetic set point for testosterone. That's about all I can say on the matter. Here's...

    I don't know how those Reebok shoes are, so I wont include them in this rank list oly shoes = flat boots >= chucks >= wrestling shoes > minimalist shoes/slippers >= barefoot > tennis shoes (I love flat boots because the ankle support they give => huge weight) IMO

    Oh. When you changed your shot regimen to 150, did you stay on the AIs? I'm starting to think now your E could be shot, which could also account for poor libido if it's that far gone. Anyways, maybe you should get bloods once you've been on this new protocol for a month (have you) before you...

    Hopefully you won't observe this gallon of ice cream in your singlet in the middle of your third attempt deadlift.

    Awesome, well it sounds like you're doing what you need to do and all that's left is to cruise on autopilot and observe things until the meet.

    Are you saying the new regimen is worse overall or just worse for the gym? If you feel like 150 is not enough wrt quality of life, maybe you should go back up to 200/week again, but try splitting that dose into 2x100mg shots. I dont like hearing your libido is down, though that might be a bit...

    If you can get any ART done on them I'd think about it. That or some mashing if there's anyone half-decent at it in your area.

    Squats on Squats on Squats. Journey to 500lbs!

    "Bro, I've been dreaming about hitting 148.882 for sets of 10, and I finally did it" But seriously, it's funny how difficult it is for me to convert in my head considering I only started learning the imperial system when I was 10-11. I can do distance and temperatures, fwiw, but I'm at a...

    Squats on Squats on Squats. Journey to 500lbs!

    Well, it's just that the last few pages of your log you've been writing all your weights down as kg. I just wondering what we, the AM community, did to deserve this animosity.

    Yeah, I just get into whatever position I would be in if the exercise were just a snapshot in time of a pull from the floor. Otherwise instead of training for the deadlift I'd be training for the rack pull/block pull.
