Yep. I knew people that I think took too much and hated it.. for me it was great.

 

I squatted last night with my power lifter buddy and got 425x4. Last year 425 was my max. Had knee wraps on this time though.

 

I get my fiber from my diet. Like 40g/day...just eat carbs. Only downside is my poo is so gooey my ass bleeds from wiping so much #tmi

Also, pr'd on deadlift this morning. 435 with no straps, no weight belt, and barefoot

Brings my total to 1145

 

Your honesty is always appreciated! That's why the husk powder is phenomenal. It creates a magical no wipe situation. #keepinitreal

 

You're an excellent husk powder salesman... might go get some of this magical supplement

 

What's everyone's opinion on this? Read the reviews on BB.com but looks like it doesn't give any pump but the effects last longer. It was $20 at Costco today. Wife was nice and called me to ask if I needed more pre. I told her to get it so i can try it.

 

That's what I use, I get plenty of pump with it. I like it better than some of the others. For $20, that's a great deal. At Costo, do they have a variety of flavors?

 

Yea that was the only flavor. How many scoops are you using?
Right now I'm only using 1 scoop of c4 plus my coffee before working out. Thinking I might try this on 1 scoop tomorrow and see which one I like better. I already have the 6lb bag of ON protein powder which I'm liking so far, just really expensive.

 

I use it now, pretty cheap and works alright. Two scoops is a serving and only has like 150mg of caffeine though

 

ACL surgery should be a quick turn around. I would recommend advocating for/with her with her doctor about making a referral to a sports medicine physical therapist. They approach PT way different than the regular PT office. Cycling on a stationary bike is great for improving range of motion.

 

Completed the Ruck'N'Run race yesterday. I was pretty pissed off that the race was not better managed. I rucked with a 30 lbs pack and for 5.56K and stopped at five sections for sets of 25(push ups, jumping jack, mountain climbers, squats, and burpees) I finished in 49 minutes and was 20th overall. Not all the ruckers in from did sets of 25 their was the option to do 10 but you couldn't compete for the medals. I was pissed when a group of three ladies wearing running shoes and carrying empty back packs (literally) were counted at rucking and won. I don't mind losing but I feel they were cheating.

 

How do you guys deal with muscle aches and tendinitis? I seem to get it more and more when working out and other than protein, amino acids, glucosamine, and glutamine I dont take anything else. But its super frustrating. Maybe I am not resting enough? I like to work out a good 4 days a week but also play ball hockey 3 nights a week and am a Steamfitter and metal worker as a job.

 

Lady on the leg press machine just sitting there 1/8th repping on her phone...seriously...do work!

 

I would probably try and cut down gym to 3 days a week but make sure you get good workouts. Looks like you're spreading yourself thin not allowing for recovery time.


Or you could use gear and speed up recovery time x10.

 

Day 1 of prepping these meals. I've cooked all my potatoes, rice, and eggs for a week. I've got some chicken in a crock pot and as soon as it is done I'll swap it for some more and keep that on rotation...

Been at it since 12:30, so about 2 hours and I am ready to start putting the meals together. I don't have enough containers so I'll probably have to just piece it together when I'm ready to eat until I get more

 

FYI the take-a- longs at walmart are 5 for 2.98 and they are perfect

Also that's way too long. I've got my stuff down to about an hour total time to cook pack and in the fridge or freezer. My beans were the exception this week they went over night. Usually I do chicken in the crock pot over night as well. But I am digging grilled chicken more and more

 

You ever want to see interesting about diet. Google ketogenic diet and brain function. Neuroscience does not understand how lean meat and fat affect brain function and regulation, but it is pure fact.

 

I just bought some off Amazon. $15 for 15
