Head harness, is that the leather Hannibal Lector looking apparatus with the chain to hang weight off?

Yup...

Used to be a 4-way neck machine in the old Golds in Methuen (decades ago). Loved that thing...

Is there still a gym on Pleasant Valley by McDonalds? I know that was a Golds after the one on 28 closed

Yeah, its more of a corporate large/fancy place. I'm forgetting the name.
It was a Golds at one point when the guy moved from where WOW is now over to that one...
He had one in Salisbury as well...

That really sucks man, it's been in the 70s here the last week or so, woke up this morning to 30 degrees and snow for the next two days. Hope you get normality quickly.

 

[Hyde]

Been cold here in central IL, 39 and drizzle right now - sounds like it’s worse where you’re at!

Thx brother... Power came back at around 5 PM. Went off at 2 AM so around 15 hours.
Could have been worse. Some poor people down the road had a horrible freak accident and at least one died.
At around noon, we all felt our house shake and heard a large BOOM. We figured it was a large tree that fell or something close by. But down the road, a tree did fall, but it landed on someone's propane tank and exploded and the house went right up in flames. Totally engulfed the place. 1 dead and one in hospital I read... Sad...

Crazy that yours is back and mine is still out. There is a broken pole down the road, cable works fine as long as the generator deployed at power supply doesn’t run out of gas. I have a 7300 watt gen for the house and it keeps us close to normal. Can’t use elec oven and microwave at same time, but I can have pellet stove going and boiler fridge etc. Unitil is saying “Multi-Day event assessing”.

Scary and freaky... The grandma died I guess. The little girl (or maybe boy) is in hospital w/ burns.
Unsure if the lady lived w/ them or was there to babysit for closed school day.
Either way, tragic..

How did it feel using that bar?

 

[Anabolic66]

How did it feel using that bar?

I use it when I tweak the shoulder, it removes the strain I feel...
More of a close-grip, plus the hand-positioning feels much better.
Keeps me (sort of) benching while I wait for it to heal up...
Right delt has been a major issue for 35+ years, I just refuse to get surgery for now.
Everyone I know who has done it, say to me "dont do it"... Ill probably have to some day but I dont want the down time now.
Maybe when I retire in 4 years or so...
(Weird way of thinking I suppose)..

Tomorrow I have an appt w/ my new Dr. Really liked my old one, but he's stepping away from it to do other things in the other place he owns (Botox injections and that bullshit) while he has other Dr's on board to continue w/ his patients.

I didn't like the new one that took over, and figured its a good time to go to the new place that was put up here in town, which is an annex/office of Mass General. Goal is to get back on TRT (10 mg a day to try) if PSA looks good. And if Dr. JellyFinger says Prostate seems fine. 70 mg a week is much lower than the 125 mg a week I was doing for 6 years.

So hopefully all sides will be non-existent...

 

[Hyde]

Another thing to consider, if you weren’t using them, to raise overall energy and hormone levels is to add some of the neurosteroids DHEA and/or Pregnenolone.

Something like Dermacrine if you want a bit of bit, or XPG DHEA 50 if you want to avoid Pregnenolone. Preg is great in that it gives energy and progesterone to increase collagen synthesis through another avenue, but it can be too much energy easily or aggravate gyno if you take too much for you. Dosing needs vary wildly for people who use it. I take a single oral 10mg tablet once a week probably. I have heard of one guy using 50mg transdermal per day. Those are both extremes.

 

[Anabolic66]

Ive been using DHEA-50, Pregnelone and Progesterone creams as well...

 

[Anabolic66]

New Doc is great, open to anything, has an open mind.
Got my bloods, they do them right there, and had 'em when I got home...
My PSA is .90, very low for my age so Im psyched.
The bad thing, my total test is now 85... How the **** have I been training??
New range - 193 to 700 (lower and lower it goes).

Well, back on TRT for me now that I know Im good. All other markers perfect. HDL is 54, etc.
Other lipid markers in range.. Trigs = 69, LDL = 94.

Dang man that is crazy.. 85. You have been feeling great to and solid sessions. Sounds like you got a good doc though!

 

[Hyde]

Glad you found a good doctor who will look after you!

 

[Anabolic66]

Dang man that is crazy.. 85. You have been feeling great to and solid sessions. Sounds like you got a good doc though!

It is crazy... I guess I never recovered from going off TRT... Feel fine other than just a libido hit.
When I went on TRT at 50, I tested at 253.... When I got tested at 40 I was at 716 as a natty.
I then went on statins and declined from there. We know statins and aging both kill test levels.
Test in made in our cholesterol...

Since PSA is great, Im starting TRT today, just took my first pin... Thx Bud..

 

[Segansational]

Catching up (mostly lurking) in here, but that was a crazy unfortunate story about your neighbors. Glad power is back and that workouts/health seem to be going well. Keep it up!

Great to experience different cultures. Though I am 3/4 Italian, we never had traditional Italian breakfast growing up.
Went to a buddies who's parents were off the boat, (make their own wine, sausage, etc) we had:

Eggs covered in home made pasta sauce, wine, dried sausages, etc... (Early in the AM)... It was fun..
