Amazon prices can be hard to beat. I always found MyProtein to be one of the cheapest places to buy a good quality protein powder.
I don't use the powders much these days, so not sure that is...
@manifesto it is hit and miss with what is in stock but if you aren't afraid of protein close to or a little beyond it's Best By date then I would try Supplementhunt.com. I often grab stuff from...
You know there’s like 10,000 guys your age who would give anything to be able to do dips again, right? That blew my mind a little bit that it’s no issue with your collarbone thing right now. Very...
I will add, I do like the upper day as it seems to keep my shoulders healthy due to full ROM and activation. Starting with back or alternating back and chest exercises (like in an Arnold split)...
This is super cool! That wall of the Spiderman comics in your home is awesome, good luck on finding the last few.
I used to have a ton of old GI Joe's and Transformers, but somewhere along the...
Definitely no negative, and maybe positive.
I usually have increased libido after training, which could be from the increased dopamine with things like l-tyrosine etc I use pre/intra.
But...
Got my results back from my doctor. Prior to losing weight my testosterone level was 265. It is now 295, so there was a 10% improvement. My blood pressure was 110/72, total cholesterol was 174...

Man my legs are cooked between squats 2 days ago and the running yesterday. The running took more out than the squats as all the little muscles are sore and hurting. Fascia throughout my low...
Correct. Just like Dustin said, it’s wraps that you would not want to wear for prolonged periods without time out of them. Wraps pin everything in an unnatural way. Not that they would be unsafe...
I do believe that full depth squats are about the best thing you can do for overall health (among strength training), that ROM is important for so many parts of your body IMO. if knee sleeves help...
I've been wearing sleeves for like 12 years and at 44 (next month) I'm the strongest I've ever been by a wide margin. if you are in pain that is preventing ROM and knee sleeves improve your ROM...
So you don’t think I’m losing any training of the stabilizers by wearing sleeves (same concept as not wearing a belt on lighter lifts) ?
That has been the reason I’ve held off on them thus far.
Same. I have been doing a lot of my squats the last month or so with no sleeves until after 275. Because I was adding orals & injectable carnitine on top of my caffeine and Neurogize AND it was...
its funny you say that cause that is literally the only example I had thought of on this thread. when we were down in CR on that vacation a couple years ago and my wife and I hit the gym, I...
I mean look if it’s 2 plates or whatever and it’s warm months in the gym/where you train then I get it. Especially if the person has less than a decade of lifting. But seriously, at any weight and...
I've been seeing rando fitness 'influencers' in their 50s and beyond occasionally squatting bare kneed and everytime I'm like... how. how are you doing this. lol
If you’re squatting over 30 without knee sleeves, you’re a madman 😭
They keep more blood and warmth in the area through the session, which in addition to aiding comfort & passive joint stability...

No I’m not. I may need to, or at least get some type of minimalist brace that keeps the patella in good alignment. I honestly think it’s more just patellar tendonitis that my OA as while that can...
