    When to start GH?

    I’m assuming you don’t have a coach, so my advice is based on that (if you do, listen to them). The water GH adds varies but it will come off fast if you pull it, within a few days. So I would add it in when you get it and see if the added fullness will be a plus to your stage physique, or if...

    Hey back to pause squats with 3 bills already; I’d say you’re putting the energy you do have into the right places!

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    I think everything Mr. Kleen says makes sense. Grip is HIGHLY specific. Not just grippers vs pinch vs barbell etc, but even down to the barbell - training reps won’t build your ability to hold a max single the way very heavy reps or holds will. What you can hold for 10 seconds out of the rack...

    GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

    Learning to cook and feed yourself is such a valuable skill; it will save your grandson a lot of money & health and be a blessing to his family the rest of his life. I can’t believe the number of people I meet that do not know how to cook anything to feed themselves! It doesn’t have to be...

    KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.

    When it comes to reaching a specific objective goal, if you can’t go the distance… you won’t. That absolute truth acknowledged, a lot of what we value, the real reasons we do it, in the world of pumping iron IS NOT absolute. I mean if you want to lift X or get to Y bodyfat or win Z contest...

    DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time

    Definitely fixes a lot of the problems with keeping the bar in place! It’s harder to get under and out of as load goes up, but no more blacking out or choking, harder to roll forward/drop, and easier on the delts. You just came off a meet, so it’s normal for things to be in the dump for a few...

    Front loading npp with deca

    Yes, it absolutely has its place - and that’s mainly when the intention is short & sweet, or an immediate need. If he told me he has a strength contest in 10 weeks and relies heavily on nandrolone for max size, I’d say blast it - but ideally you just get faster drugs, like NPP here, and orals to...

    GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

    I’m not sure what you’re asking. Adding 2-5% load to the bar weekly seems to be pretty safe for connective tissue that hasn’t experienced that load in a long time (or ever). This isn’t to say you CAN handle that much more load from a muscular perspective, but rather this is how fast tendons...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    I forgot to mention that using doh with straps did bother it somewhat; there was some slight pain when I began 545 Rackpull but I committed & the pull was fast. I found squeezing really hard on the SLDL to make it less uncomfortable, maybe it straightened my arm more? Then benching on an...

    GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

    Glad it was an awesome workout! From a science angle, adding about 5% load to the bar from a recent heaviest exposure is all they can say is generally safe from a connective tissue adaptation perspective. That’s about 12lbs based on what you have been doing. So going past 275 is sailing out...

    Weights up, scales down…

    Congrats on the new squat PR! The greatest PR to make in my book, maybe tied with deadlift. Both of those are the most satisfying, and essentially tell the world the sum of your overall strength capacity.

    Front loading npp with deca

    Muscle can only accumulate so fast, so as long as you have sufficient stimulus from training, nutrition intake & hormonal signaling, anything beyond that is wasted. Once you have trained sufficiently intensely to necessitate adaptation, more just causes more recovery dept. After you have eaten...

    Front loading npp with deca

    I was going to say, general rule for frontloading if you NEED something at peak concentrations sooner (which is ass backwards for ideal muscle growth stimulus, where you want the dose to creep up over time as you grow and accommodate to the dose stimulus), you double the dose the first couple...

    Mega-Dosing Creatine -Anyone taking or have used 10g or more of creatine a day?

    If your gut will tolerate it and you actually absorb it, 10-20g monohydrate will help strength more - you’ll hold more water (and ATP). It helps to break it up into 2-3 doses though; if you’re going to the toilet after dosing it’s not going to work. I have a 25-year-old training partner that...

    You’re not an idiot; if it had gone perfectly you’d be singing praises for how great this was. Don’t beat yourself up! Be proud you got under 2 wheels and repped it for sets. And honestly, that heavy novel stimulus was more impacting than any possible backoff chest work. Nothing you could have...
