    I dont think we will be getting any snow this year. We had a tiny bit for one day in Decemeber but nothing since and it would be unusual here if there were snow in February

    That’s so unlikely to happen, the only time a medical problem has ever happened to me from taking too many sedatives was after I got vaccinated one day. I felt fine and my friends invited me out to the bar later and I drank, then after I went home I took my sleep meds on top of the alcohol...

    What benefits specifically relating to sleep do you notice from it? Better dreams, sleep quality, less waking up at night, easier time falling asleep?

    Sorry, I meant 2 at once now. I’m on gabapentin and mirtazapine, I wanna stop them since it’s messing up my sleep architecture. There was a point about 5 years ago I was taking 5 at once

    I really wanted to try stage 3z but they don’t ship to Canada and there’s no other mulungu products out there

    Yeah my doctor took me off of it because of the risk of diabetes, but I’ve never actually researched it myself. I’ll look into how true that claim actually is

    Yeah it’s truly incredible for helping you get to sleep, but pretty terrible for your health. Increasing your chance of diabetes by ~50%, crushing rem sleep and testosterone, raising prolactin, grogginess in the morning. But man that feeling was unlike anything I’ve ever done, my eyelids felt so...

    I’ve tried over 10 different sleep meds and most are pretty lightweight, like any benzo, gabapentin, mirtazapine, etc. Only one has ever blown me away was quetiapine. If you actually wanna get knocked out for 8 hours ask your doctor for a prescription. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom when I...

    Yeah I dont take their advice at all, I was just making the point on variability. They are all on gear and im not so we cant train the same way and recover the same. That and they have better genetics than me.

    Thanks for the advice on dips, I find that its really hard for me to depress my scapula when going heavy and they always shrug up. Ill try that! I might be a little too young to understand "don't throw the baby out with the bath water here" lol One of the reasons I also base my opinions on...

    I am keeping an open mind. I may have worded my original points wrong but I keep on adapting and adapting as I’m going on. This is what I’ve learned so far, and I know right now it’s absolutely true for me. There’s far too much evidence to say that it’s not true for me, both from personal...

    I’ve found that mainly with benching, since that’s the one I put by far the most effort into to chase numbers with. I’ve always done most of my isolations Interesting that you mention dips. I didn’t know you’re not supposed to go too heavy on those. But that makes sense since it’s hard for me...

    Yeah, but to be fair I put that in my original text. Opinions change over time obviously. I’ve already had to cut my volume a lot because my opinions changed and my nervous system can’t keep up with my old volume. I’m my point about deloads I mentioned that if I squated as much as you I may...

    I agree on the fatigue making sets of 15 less appealing. However I believe you have misunderstood my point. It’s not like I’ve just baked one bad cake and then assumed every cake I would bake after would be bad. It’s like me baking a bad cake every day for 5 years and then noticing that I did...

    Yessir, that’s why I put a lot of emphasis on saying that is what I have learned so far during my time lifting. And about how deload weeks may not be necessary for me right now but may be in the future. As I grow and get stronger my opinions will change.

    The Maximus Pact

    yeah, thats the first thing I preficed. The points I made are true for me and not for everyone. As for the point of sets of 3 and 15. I was trying to say that doing both light sets of 15 and heavy sets of 3 will increase your 1rm the same amount. Ive seen this in me and all my friends so...

    Thanks man. How are you doing? Yeah I have often over emphasized certain points in the gym or with fitness advice and some have taken offense to it so I thought I should preface that.

    Best mtor inhibitor supplements?

    Yeah, its honestly a bit weird. Muscle itself increases life span, reduces cancer risk, improves chance of surviving if you already have cancer and benefits practically your whole body. But increasing the pathway that causes muscles to grow is bad for longevity??? It makes no sense to me.

    Im still a bit foggy and messed up with the flu so forgive me if my explanations may be poor on these. I used to always train the way other people would tell me, whether that was from arnold, ronnie coleman, or older people in the gym. I did this for 5 years because I thought what others said...
