    Flavorless Whey Isolate?

    The nutricost flavorless whey isolate is an excellent value. Mixes quickly without clumps in a shaker cup with cold water. No flavor at all.

    Flavorless Whey Isolate?

    I went with NutriCost. $62 for 5lbs (68 servings of 30g whey isolate) is an excellent value. Thanks!

    Strongest non-Phenibut sleep aid?

    Stuff I like for sleep would be magnesium glycinate, delta 8, gaba. Also, consider getting your hormones checked. Low testosterone can impact sleep.

    10 Training Mistakes (30 Years of Lifting)

    I would appreciate anything you share if it's one or however many things from your experience. I randomly chose 10. One thing I think I did right from the beginning was befriending people in the gym who were 30+ years older, still training hard and maintaining awesome physiques. Those people...

    10 Training Mistakes (30 Years of Lifting)

    I watched that video. John put out so much quality information. I need to watch some of his earlier videos. His advice on keeping healthy shoulders by making small adjustments to popular exercises was excellent. He introduced me to my favorite chest building exercise, dumbbell flyes lying on the...

    10 Training Mistakes (30 Years of Lifting)

    Wow some really excellent information being shared. Hyde you hit on two things that I wish I began doing much sooner. Focused ab work and mobility/activation drills. I got to compete with top level world record holding powerlifters and they ALL do this. John Haack hit abs directly 2x weekly and...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Check out Revitale salicylic acid scrub soap. Its sold on Amazon for $7 and works well on my acne. It lasts a while unlike many other fancy soaps. I notice red bumps start fading after a couple days. The salicylic acid pads work for me too. I hit any areas 1x AM and 1x PM. That's kept my skin...

    If I slack on ab training for a couple weeks then take crunches or leg raises near failure I always get that single ab cramp. It's so strange and uncomfortable. It never happens when I'm consistent with training. Quick story about muscle cramps. Back in HS my wrestling coach fixed a muscle...

    10 Training Mistakes (30 Years of Lifting)

    I thought it might be helpful to post up some of my training mistakes from 30 years of lifting. I've had a lot of success with reaching my goals (510 bench at 198, 20" arms, 6 minute mile, 32 pull up, 650 deadlift, etc.) but also a lot of failures that could have been avoided. In no particular...

    Road to 500 Bench 200 BW

    I've heard that throughout my life. Back when I wrestled at 135 in HS people thought I was 160. At 210 people think I'm around 225. It's the smaller joints with peaky muscle structure. My wrestling partner was a Teen National bodybuilding champ. He made a video with Kevin Levrone. Brett did a...

    Road to 500 Bench 200 BW

    Well, I didn't hit the lifts I was planning. The weight cut and some not so great news three days prior to competing tanked my performance. My walk around weight is about 210. I weight in at 197.5lbs. I had some digestion issues the day after weigh-in and wasn't able to get my weight back up...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Good Girl Machine 70,110,130x15 Hyde, I love that you refer to the abductor and adductor machine as bad and good girl. I asked Ben to use those terms when we discuss programming. It's hilarious but he started doing it. My aductors are underdeveloped compared with my abductor muscles. I started...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Great progress! When I had tricep tendinitis capsaicin cream mixed with voltarin worked well, especially with an elbow sleeve. The capsaicin gets super hot and very little was needed. Gotta be careful though at wash hands twice. If you use too much and need to cool it down make sure to wash...

    CBD on a cut?

    I love delta 8. I use a tincture on days I have to train late and sleep is excellent. I'm being coached by an IFBB pro who walks around at sub 10% 285 pounds 5'8". He has a doctorate and very knowledgeable in research. He uses Delta 8 too.
