  1. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Piston, not sure how to post/embed a video like you did and others have done here. Yes, I am essentially an unfrozen caveman in your digital world. Is it easy to do or too confusing for you to explain? talk slow and be patient. I still have a flip phone.
  2. The AnabolicMinds 100,000 Rep Squat Challenge!!!!

    158 + 52576 = 52734 I persevered despite suffering from SIH (squat induced hemorrhoids) !
  3. Muscle Milk: ditch it or OK?

    Bought a large bag of CytoSport MM from Costco for my teenager over a year ago. He doesn't drink it. I am not crazy about the stuff and prefer pure whey which I don't have right now. I need to increase my protein intake. It's got a protein/carb ratio of 16g/9g. Probably a $30 bag. Should I ditch...
  4. Eat more or not?

    I agree. EMPIREMIND said it earlier. Carbs hold a lot of water so these day-to-day variations are likely fluid primarily. I am in a similar situation as you Mark. I have been fasting and this actually reduces appetite for me. I don't track Macros, but prefer low-carb fair. My BF is 15%. I was...
  5. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    Man, checked out ab vacuums on youtube. Quite the hotty was demonstrating. K's perfect fitness or something. Now I have hemorrhoids AND I'm in love!
  6. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    Well its leg day in an hour or so and its better, but not gone. I will bring that up with the doc next week. I can tolerate it as is, but man 2 days ago I was climbing the walls and it looked bad. I appreciate hearing from others that I am not alone.
  7. Weight loss advise for an old bald fat guy

    Kang, first you need to study: Read 2 books and keep them handy: "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes and "Protein Power" (or any other book) by Dr. Michael Eades. I would go to website called Mark's Daily Apple and read his "Start Here" and poke around. Excellent source of info for low-carb...
  8. Early fasted training: BCAA vs Leucine vs nothing

    That's why I was doing it. I think I need to up my protein as I was focusing on fat loss and my protein intake has suffered.
  9. Early fasted training: BCAA vs Leucine vs nothing

    I also train fasted and like the 16/8 window. Sometimes 20/4.On weekends I eat normal meals with the family. My question regarding BCAAs: do you guys consume them with food or keep amino acids separate? I used to like taking aminos separate (not sure why) but now I find myself gobbling food...

  11. Favorite Song While Lifting

    I get a lot of my music from my library. I can request music from any library in the County, as well. I upload it to my ITunes account. Some stuff you gotta wait for, but you can save a few bucks. Of course I buy it from ITunes as well. Some real gems sometimes. I was able to get both Volbeat...
  12. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    I will look into ab vacuums. Things seem to be a little better this am. I took 800 mg of Ibruprofen last night which helped.
  13. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    no, but if it has not improved by tomorow i am calling. I have had minor ones in the past usually caused by poor diet or some GI trigger. Thats why this surprised me. But you are right, i should get it checked out.
  14. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    So the last few days I have been sufferng with a significant hemorrhoid (phase 3 or 4 internal hemorrhoid prolapsed). I couldnt figure out what may have caused it, until I read bearing down and pressure/exertion. I believe squat day 2 days ago may have been the cause. I gotta say this might put...
  15. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Yep, had a big stereo from my days in the (Air Force circa 1986) Bet your speakers are 4 feet tall! Had a ton of classic rock albums, too. Dual Casette players so you could copy tqpes, make tapes for your walkman. I dont miss that hiss though. I like your taste in music. Jimmie Page apparently...
  16. Effective weight loss?

    OK. If your current regime stalls, try some of the things I mentioned above. I hate calorie counting. Paleo/low carb is great in that regard. Throw in intermittent fasting here and there and it might be the ticket. Keep us posted. Good job so far.
  17. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Ken - are you on ITunes?
  18. Effective weight loss?

    I am just curious, do you track carb intake? If so, about how many grams a day are you at?
  19. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Woah...I had an 8-track in my first stereo but I am not familiar with "pennying". Do tell.
