I always had milk with lunch and dinner when I was growing up, but that's about it. It definitely enhances the taste and consistency of any shake, but I still use water most of the time.
31 brah. I'm getting old.
Thanks brother. For about a year, a good portion of my strength increases were me playing catch-up after getting sick; muscle memory is a beautiful thing. I have gotten stronger since though.
Nice haul ace. Yeah, there have been some crazy deals on MBCAA recently. Thanks for the support boss.
Same here. NP is great.
Good choice wasme. I think you'll enjoy the addition.

Nah thirty one isn't too old, you have plenty of time for gains.
Also, I love usp labs. The products are great.
my only complaint is i'm stuck here with a two pound tub of some of the best tasting vanilla pro I've ever had and I seriously want to drink it just to drink it.. Yeah it's that good.
That and I cannot buy another tub until it arrives at nutra, hopefully soon

Yeah, I don't feel old at all and plan on making plenty of "gains". My joints have in the past, but Super Cissus took care of that.
Awesome company and products for sure! Haha I'm having the same problem man. I'm already addicted to both flavors. I just had a shake and am trying my best to hold off until I make ice cream later. I'll be grabbing tubs of each when they're available, which should be very soon.

That looks. So good. It's been hard to not run out and buy an ice cream maker after seeing all this.
I was told to wait until after my wedding though, need it as a gift idea for people, don't have enough ideas as it is.
By then I will want to try a bunch if your recipes I'm sure.

Thanks man. It was fantastic. I keep switching all of my meals around so I can eat a more. There's no need to wait for an ice cream maker; I don't even have one. All of these are made in ziploc bags. I don't think you could get the consistency that I did tonight using an ice cream maker either.

Tonights batch looks really solid, nice. Looking forward to trying it.
Should be good, although I went last year. It is a shame thought that companies like USPLabs, PES, Finaflex and so on don't have booth's.. takes time I suppose. Perhaps different this year.
Will let you know how it is..

I had a great back session this morning. I don’t know if the gym’s AC wasn’t working properly, but I was drenched in sweat. It literally looked like I went swimming with my shirt on by about halfway through my workout.
Meadows Rows
2 warm-up x8
100x8

-I usually use a t-bar for these, but went with a barbell. I was able to get a better contraction with this approach.
Here’s my final set. The second half of the set shows a better angle.

It was an old band that I've had for years (I need new ones). I put it over the top of the rack and stood back ~4 feet. The tension and stretch were solid at that distance.
Yeah, they'll be sticking around.
They're great. Thanks man, it smoked my lats.

Haha no bar weight included. That was actually the first time that I'd used a bb and I don't know how much the t-bar weighs.

I actually prefer using the BB. We have a machine that looks like the one he uses in the example video (same one I use for Dante rows) but It doesn't go down far enough to really stretch at the bottom.
BTW-made the ice cream last night, I isn't have anything to put in it except the whey/almond milk. It was good but I couldn't get it to thicken up. Ill have to get some quest bars to throw in next time.

I was able to get a better contraction with the bb and will stick with it from now on. The standing t-bar machine at my gym has a limited range of motion, but the supported one is decent for Meadows Rows.
It's still pretty tasty without anything extra mixed in. Did you use a good amount of salt? It won't get cold enough if there isn't enough. You might've just had to shake it longer as well.
Lol you're a beast bud.

My supplement use has been minimal for the last week, which I just realized hadn't been mentioned. I'm currently using PowerFULL , AP, and staples (SuperCissus, Oximega Fish Oil, Gut Health, ModernBCAA+, OxyELITE Protein). I'm going to keep supplementation as it is for at least a couple weeks before deciding what to run next. I last weighed in at ~204lbs, which is -13lbs from the beginning of this log. I've been taking this cut fairly slow and will continue with it for a while longer.
I didn't have a lot of time this morning, so I went through my workout pretty quick. I kept rest periods to 30-40 seconds between each set.
Machine Press (neutral grip)
2 warm-up x12
200x12
200x12
200x12
200x11
-1 sec stretch (raised sternum) /1 sec hard flex
-strict form (stopped right before it started to break)
Pec Minor Dip / DB Bent-Over Side Lateral Raise
BW+25x10 / 20x20
BW+25x10 / 20x20
BW+25x10 / 15x20
BW+25x10 / 15x20
-I felt trap involvement towards the end of the 2nd set of lat raises, so I dropped the weight. I started +5lbs from what I've been doing though.
Hex Press / Band Pull Aparts
55x10 / 10
60x10 / 10
65x10 / 10
70x8 / 10
-2 sec flex/hold on pull aparts
6 ways / Band Over and Backs / Spider Crawls
10x10 / 20 / 45 sec
10x10 / 20 / 45 sec
10x8 / 20 / 45 sec

Looking strong at 5-1 in the third... keep it up Boston...
Complete domination. Very solid win.
Not really. You start with your arms out in front of you and pull your hands out to the side with straight arms.

I think I know what your talking about. And I think we're talking about the same thing lol just reminds me of an OAB..but with a band. You start with your hands somewhat close and stretch/ pull them apart and go behind your head right? Stretches your pecs and shoulders? Link wouldn't work on my phone

No.
Here is a variation. The traditional band pull apart is the same, except you don't stand on the band.

I think band over and backs are what you're talking about. I fixed the link for band pull aparts and it should be good to go.
