I love Reece's but stopped eating them once I found out they had TBHQ in them as a preservative. Same TBHQ in Ramin noodles and chicken McNuggets. Google TBHQ.

I'm reading it's a preservative that's not harmful, or not provably harmful to humans. What am I missing?

Some good hard work going on in here!

Thanks Red!
 
I read it was safe until a certain amount where it can cause gastric tumors and dna changes. So just dont go pounding a full bag of Reese's i guess.

I read that, but then read that there are studies that show: "review of scientific literature concerning the toxicity of TBHQ determined that a wide margin of safety exists between the levels of intake by humans and the doses that produce adverse effects in animal studies."

Regardless, I'm not at toxic levels. If I were... Well, it's Reece's!

Pretty much. It's also pre-mummification.

Great pump today. The Meadows Rows fatigued me quicker than normal. Maybe because of pulls yesterday.
 
You did quite a bit with the shoulders and even supersets with the meadow rows. I can see why you might be a bit fatigued. Yesterday's workout may have added to it as well. Still a great workout
 
Nice looking sesh brother... Meadows rows can be taxing for sure, especially when like you said you pulled yesterday.
 
Thanks guys!!

I just realized I forgot to post this mornings sesh...

Bench:

Felt good, but considering the weight it doesn't leave room for error. As I paused at the bottom I flexed my lats and tried to explode up with them.

I went with a little over a full scoop of STIMUL8. It was great.

The key is to keep getting fatter so your strength goes up, or something...

Nice going on the Deloads Thomas! Just think what the PR's will be soon after this deload. The body needs it. The mind needs it!

Thanks Simon. They look funny, but who knows maybe they fill his lats full of blood. I know I do things at times that cause staring.

1000g/week for 24 weeks then no PCT.

That's the most effective according to a buddy.
 
Creatine for pct should do fine... That's how you keep those gainz!

Thanks man.

Injectable pizza is much better than the enema inserts.
 
But the enemas feel so good!!

Test won't survive the first pass. A methyl oral sprinkled over the cheese is the way to go here.

Might I suggest Dymethazine, or perhaps you're a wet compound guy and would prefer the house dbol?

What year is the house dbol? I hear the 1980 dbol is remarkable! One of Arnold's favorites...

That's it. Out of pizza juice. Form and belly both are a work in progress. My love handles are so big it makes me look like I'm leaning more than I actually am.

So, the most beautiful girl in our entire gym was waiting on a rack. So, I have mine up because I hate it when I want to squat and there isn't one available. After giving her the rack she puts a bench in front of it and starts doing hip thrusts. Rack wasn't even used. WTH?

haha, well i guess the lesson learned is that a pretty face shouldn't be a point of consideration when granting favors
 
Nice work man! Your missing the lockout at the top on those 460s. Not locking with the glutes properly.

Lol at the girl. Sometimes the other brain starts thinking.

I'm missing it. What do you mean?
 
As Sean said, squeeze those glutes as the weight passes your knees. Squeeze with intensity, like you're... Never mind.
