  1. Any "Deeper Point" of Training? Core Strength the Most Important Thing to Build?

    Thanks. I am still trying to find the "pure simple truth." At least in my case, no matter what, I know I need to build flexibility and a stronger core. Fortunately, for my abysmally low starting point, there are many ways to develop.

  2. What Cardio Does Not Wear Down My Muscle? Real-World Stair-Climbing?

    Very good stuff. For those of us who weigh 200 lbs, 33% of KB Swings = 66 lbs Sets of 20 KB swings @65 lbs, EMOTM is quite a feat! I guess I can work up to it. Even sets of 5, EMOTM, would be a goal for me.

  3. Do Exogenous Ketones Appear to Be Ketosis, Or Is it Actual Ketosis?

    Thanks. I tried "Body for Life" afterward. That worked for weight loss. 1. The diet was decent. But, the workout plan could be better. 2. It is just that everyone who did the ketosis diet said it was so effective. I always wondered why I was the one person who it would not work.

  4. Any Resources on "Mentality While Lifting"

    Thanks. Stimulants do that to me, too. I guess I am one of the best people who works under a lower than normal state of mental activity. Granted, I am not sleeping or being mindless, but focusing on being mentally calm.

  5. Any Good Threads for Lifting Cues?

    Very good advice: - Mountain Dog/John Meadows - "Train First, Then Worry About Fine Tuning" I did 5*5 Bench and Squat Today. I feel good! More days like this to come.

  6. Any Resources on "Mentality While Lifting"

    You hit the nail on the head. These all answer my questions. My biggest problem was mental arousal. Stimulants (esp. caffeine) over arousing me. Even thinking can over-arouse me. I think it is sort of like driving: it is important to be cool, calm, confident, neither negligent nor overly...

  7. Can KB Swings Completely Replace Cardio? Opinions?

    Thanks. I guess I am like this because I have stuck to certain things for too long, even when the results were not coming. I suppose no person wants to waste time on the wrong things.

  8. How To Get Great TRT Results? How Come Some People Look Better Than Younger?

    Thanks for the info. 1. Will the doctor always do things intelligently? 2. Any other ways to make sure everything is done well?

  9. Anybody do Kettlebells on Gear?

    Hi Everyone, I loved the physical effects of Anavar on barbell training. I remember I could go from 225 lb bench at about 5 rep sets to pushing through 9 sets. Squats went from 225 lbs to about 5 reps. I could force to 8, 12, or 15 sets. I wondered what would happen with kettlebells. When I...

  10. Can KB Swings Completely Replace Cardio? Opinions?

    Someone at job that's other than sedentary can be called N.E.A.T., Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. For example, a teacher, postal delivery men, etc. still do more work than a 100% sedentary worker like a computer programmer. The evidence-based studies I have seen show that it is four...

  11. Can KB Swings Completely Replace Cardio? Opinions?

    1. Thanks. I appreciate it. 2. I agree that anything from walking to sprinting to wrestling, kung fu, or kettlebells is cardio. Even resistance training has a cardio effect. 3. I am just saying that one of the pitfalls I saw (esp. in the 1980's) was that "aerobics are magic" for fat loss. They...

  12. Can KB Swings Completely Replace Cardio? Opinions?

    Very good. I appreciate your nuances. 1. I agree that it seems like I get attracted to an idea but do not know the detailed limits. Yes, kettlebells are valuable in many ways, but only part of the equation. It seems like I try to push limits to almost want a magical answer to get the best of...

  13. Can KB Swings Completely Replace Cardio? Opinions?

    Hi Everyone, Ironically, I spoke to Bud Jeffries only a week or so before COVID took his life. God rest his soul. Of course, his 1000 lb squats and other amazing gym and real-world strength feats will forever be remembered. I also learned about kettlebells from his anecdotes. 1. When done...

  14. How To Get Great TRT Results? How Come Some People Look Better Than Younger?

    In some ways, you are correct. Honestly, I do not completely agree about genetics: 1. I tire after about one hour of heavy lifting or hard-core weights. Some of my friends in the military or prison can lift several times per day and not overtrain. I am not exaggerating. One of my friends who...

  15. How To Get Great TRT Results? How Come Some People Look Better Than Younger?

    I just want to get good results. I don't work hard anymore. But, 20 years ago, dozens of people at different gyms said I was so dedicated to diet and exercise. I would like to be one of those "success stories" but perhaps my genetics are just too mediocre. Perhaps I just need a more moderate...

  16. What steroid make you feel great-happy-full energy?

    Thanks. I am in China now. Doctor's are not as good as US or Germany. But, I find them "by the book." They do blood tests often, even several times a week. They are slow to prescribe anything new or experimental unless it has been thoroughly done by US etc. doctors. Doses are deliberately the...

  17. How To Get Great TRT Results? How Come Some People Look Better Than Younger?

    1. As for my levels, they barely rose. They were just in the normal reference range. 2. My diet and training stayed about the same: 3-4x of cardio a week, 3-4x of weight training. A diet moderate in carbs but nothing extreme. 3. The only time I saw the huge effect was with Oxandrolone. Even 15...

  18. What steroid make you feel great-happy-full energy?

    1. Thanks. Honestly, the rest of my hormone panel is normal. 2. It's just my number for T has always been low (say 350). 3. When I did do TRT for six months (one packet of Androgel a day), I did not notice any super-significant results.

  19. Is It Harmless to Do Cardio Every Morning, Moderately?

    That is true. I may never been buff muscle man. But, I have always looked long and lanky, when I do lots of cardio. After about 40, I think that may actually be okay. I can see why lots of cardio is physically and mentally healthy.

  20. Is It Harmless to Do Cardio Every Morning, Moderately?

    I could improve on the Body for Life Challenge. But, I never looked anything like those success stories, even when I did everything PERFECTLY for 6 months.
