How thick is your platform? I have seen something that may help with your noise problem, but it will involve a platform rebuild. Shouldn't be much extra cost though. I'll see if I can find the link.

Maybe try this. Should solve your noise/vibration issues.

I don't have the room unless...

I build a separate platform for deadlifts. My rack was built to be a 1/4" from my ceiling

Dang. It might be worth it for you to make a small platform just to deadlift on.

Yeah you're probably right. I'll do this.
 
Congrats Reg! Glad to see you back man.
 
Congratulations on the promotion and good to see you lifting again.

I went with super heavy because of my tendon and benching issues. They should be in tomorrow.

Would love to hear which ones you specifically went with and what your experience is with them once you get them. I wouldnt use them on comp presses but things like JM press and OP would make sense.

I have to put together a diet plan. I like keto but I can't take the limited energy in the gym.

I hate IF but always had energy in the gym and it works great for my body. That may be my route...

These barbell clamps came in. I can't wait to deadlift and squat with them. I'm tired of the squeeze clamps I have.

My elbow sleeve order was messed up, of course. The sent knee sleeves instead. I'm waiting on CS to respond.

I've never seen anything like those before. They look cool.

I'll review them when I actually try them. They seem quick to apply and remove and only 7/10 of a pound for both.
 
Carb cycling+intermittent fasting is a great way for me to get bodyfat off and have reasonable energy when it counts. Not as much as eating at a surplus with lots of carbs certainly, but that's true for any diet scenario.

I agree. This is how I ate for years in college. It is the most convenient for me and carb cycling works. Most days I trained fasted in the morning so Id eat carbs post workout then for my last meal of the day. Good energy, no strength drop, and lost fat nicely.

I've never carb cycled. What's the general idea, or where would be the best place to look?

You basically just have high carb days, moderate carb days, and low carb days. The amounts of carbs are totally up to you. I usually had my higher days on leg days, moderate on upper days, and low on off days.

My low days were 50-100g
Moderate 170-230
High 350-400

So, a hypothetical schedule would be something like:

Monday - squat lower - high carb (target: 400g)
Tuesday - off - low carb - target 100g
Wednesday - bench upper - target 200
Thursday - off - target 100g
Friday - deads - target 400g

Then id usually just try for a low day Saturday and moderate on Sunday with most of my carb intake in my last meal both days. I didn't really stress the weekends as much though, I just tried to keep them in the moderate to low range.

Edit: and im sure a google search should turn something up nice for you.

Thanks, I'll google and take into account your experience as well. As you know, fitness-googling tends to bring in experts from all ends of the spectrum.

Notes:

I did some stretching but probably not enough activation. That said, everything felt good and I had no pain. Bicep was meh. Still no response from EliteFTS on my messed up order.

I made chocolate peanut butter donuts but the wet was too much. They taste great but look like sh**. The cream cheese icing I made turned out awesome, though. I may reuse the icing on something else or make these donuts into mini-cakes
 
Something to consider on carb-cycling is whether you change fats and protein on different days or strictly rotate carbs.

For example, perhaps every day is 220 protein, 80 fat, and 50 (trace & veggies) up to 3-400 like Jared mentioned.

A 3-4 day rotation is most common, perhaps paired to make a set weekly structure.

Order up on the size chart if you get these. It's set around a mason jar the last 24 hours and it's close to where I want it on my arm, but a little tighter than needed. I'm going to try and stretch it some instead of return it
