  1. 200lbs the holy Grail # (for gym bros) why??

  2. Pre and Intra Workout Protocol

    At this point in my training. I just eat something with protein a few hours before and a few hours after training. Drink some coffee/tea in the morning and/or afternoon. Train when I can fit it for me during the day. Just drink water before, during, or after. In an ideal world I would at least...

    It was long echoed in the powerlifting community when geared lifting was at its peak and bloat maxing was the thing to do that if you were under 200 lbs, you were not a man and if you wanna lift the big weights, you gotta get above 200 lbs. There was not a focus on being 200 lbs lean in this...

    Circling back around on fish oil. Fish oil is essential, and it is high in EPA and DHA. The way fish oil works for our purposes is these omega-3 fatty acids are integrated into our cell membranes and then as these fatty acids are pulled from the membrane for use, as a results of this, these...

    Given all you laid out, I would not worry about anything you are doing as negatively impacting your adaptations at this point. I will touch on curcumin when I can, but I could not be concerned about its use.

  12. Training and Diet Tips, Just Want to Give Back What I Have Learned Over 10 Years

    I use to powerlift and followed Mike T and his emerging strategies concepts pretty heavily, even still do to this day. The way I look at it is that the repeated bout effect (RBE) that allows us to resist muscle damage and do more overall training only adapts so far. So once you achieve near the...

  13. Training and Diet Tips, Just Want to Give Back What I Have Learned Over 10 Years

    Not really in disagreement with this, more just highlighting a bit said in the article you linked. I think for me one of the biggest lights on moments was first hearing Mike T talk about treating yourself/other athletes as tending a garden and not a machine. We try to "cultivate" results by...

    I am open to hearing where you think I could improve my observations and take always, always a student. It nice that we tend to see eye to eye on a lot of things. The more experienced people that tend to find the same things relatively true probably means that we are seeing the patterns...

  15. Training and Diet Tips, Just Want to Give Back What I Have Learned Over 10 Years

    I just wanted to share some training nuggets for those on the board to try and take a moment to give back. 1) If you find yourself spinning your wheels and not able to stick to a singular goal, it may be time to go internally and figure out what your "why" is for training and dieting. With so...

  16. Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    I am not Hyde, but gaining weight (both muscle and fat) can help all three lifts progress to a point. For bench, this is because your become thicker so the bar may travel less distance. As your tissues (both muscle and fat) around the elbow and lats increase, this can create a tissue on tissue...

  17. Best Diet you've ever tried?

    When I did bulk, I found the best success starting with a maintenance intake that is established based on bodyweight stability over 2 weeks. Then I would add 200 cals and monitor for weight changes over a month, if the scale is moving up slowly then I would leave it alone and anytime I saw a...

  19. Topic of the Week: What prevents you from reaching your goals?

    I would try using the strategy of James Clear of just starting with the act of showing up and doing the first two min. That could just be starting to get up at the time you need to workout for a week and not going. Then getting up and putting on the clothes and getting ready to leave but not...

  20. How do you feel about this style of training?

    Liking a philosophy and getting results from it sadly do not always line up. You can always try it out, monitor recovery over 2/3 weeks. If you are not adding reps/weight after 2/3 weeks and feel great. You are liking undertraining and should add more volume. If you are progressing and feel...
