solid effort there, I like the volume in diversity, personally.

Probably is closer with that type of calculation, that's my experience as well. I had a goal of a 10rep x 225lb bench that I chased for a while. Once I did it, I didn't have the 300lb bench yet. Overload training with the slingshot like Hyde mentioned sealed the deal, but coincidentally, once I...

I always sorta see 150+ for reps kinda like 225+ for reps on bench. it's like that foundational launching pad for most male lifters I think. Yes these can be 1rm goals for a lot of guys at first, but as you're chasing big numbers they sorta are like the launchpad IMO... man I wish I was the...

man they're so hit and miss like Hyde pointed out. I have found my 1rm calcs to be pretty spot on for bench, close on deads, and a million miles away from my squat numbers. I was one who could 10 rep very close to his 1rm for squats because: amen. ever since you had suggested me slingshotting...

I'm one of those who needs rack pulls in his life because 90% of lifting for me is and always has been mental. I can feel like dogshit walking into the gym but with headphones on, the ritual of lacing up shoes and pulling on knee sleeves gets my competitive side amp'd up. adding 5lbs a week or...

I have not noticed, it's possible, but we have a thread on orchic extract and I've noticed quite a bit from that. But @Joshlm69 's comments above ring true, IMO. in addition to that, I've seen improved skin quality from pine pollen. a softening of wrinkles, etc. I'm 41 and people often think...

I felt like I was reading my own autobiography in the first paragraph, lol. I wrestled at 148 freshman year and graduated at 186. In the end, prepping for senior year football (which never happened, went to college/work instead) I was choking down 2-3 lunches a day trying to put on weight, lol.

funny enough, it was Layne that got me interested in them too lol ha been there done that, not going down that road again 😅 I definitely grew to appreciate "showing up" to other peoples gyms when it was no longer my responsibility to top of the toilet paper or fix the bikes etc

yeah that's no good dude. It's actually one of the reasons I have/justify my fish tank to be honest. anytime I feel shitty I literally will enjoy it in a meditative kinda way to get control of stress/anxiety/etc.. that **** will kill you and it's not a cool death the emergency door flying off...

I forgot deodorant is on my list as well lol I never got into them, do you like using occlusion bands? so in the back cargo area of my car I keep 3 pairs of shoes and my inzer belt permanently, lol. On squat/pull days, I grab the flats and inzer. on press or cardio days, the sauconys. I...

dude in my gym bag, from memory right now: earbuds emergency earbuds green, orange, and red bands wrist wraps chalk salts <-- which should be replaced one wrist strap, cause I lost one liquid chalk sling shot extra socks, 2 shirts, shorts, shoes a key that I'm not sure what it goes to...

Those adidas look crazy comfortable and have good reviews. Hope they work out for you! I still have my Ristos I had bought when we were back at the other forum, they're so used I even dropped them off at the cobbler for a while a year ago for repairs, lol. But lately I've been toying with...

without knowing anything about your injury, I know when my back flares up the answer is always RDLs. (just like when my shoulder flares up, it's kettlebell armbars). I start every pull or squat session with empty bb RDLs and I'll do full straight legged touch the toes stretches with the barbell...

both options seem like the same thing to me ;) amen buddy. it's a tough balance. my wife's cancer had us questioning a lot last year. We even toyed with going "all in" on a very very expensive boat... like 6x more expensive than the one we have because "you never know when it ends". Briefly...

I'm not sure what you consider a moderate dose but I don't think I've experienced any suppression, or negligible and not noticeable if I have. I typically finish a run of epiandro and go straight into alpha gel + anabolic effect or anabolic xt though.

sometimes I wish I had a home gym, but often times at the right gym there is just an energy that I feed off... change of scenery is always good. nice squats 🤘

holy **** dude. I get #1 but when you add all this up I'm glad you made this move cause it sounds like this **** would kill you if not. Especially years of #3, I don't know how you could survive that for so long.

you got that waterproof pocket sewn into one side? I used that side for years, especially when I was xfitting, for sweaty gear. now days it is torn on the inside so if I'm not careful with my knee sleeves they'll destroy everything in my bag before I even get home lol

The green one is my buddy's with the phat squat, the grey one is mine lol. Wife got it for me years ago and somehow it's still holding up. Sorta....
