You put oats in with your shake?

 

Just never thought about it. I put protein in my oatmeal for the first time this morning def was a winning idea.

 

What do you guys think of natural T boosters? Worth it for a 33 year old weekend warrior? Def don't have the energy/stamina I once had and feel good overall but looking for a little edge.

Trying some ZMA for recovery and was thinking of adding something with tribulus in it?

 

anybody else play around with the landmine? my work has three now. this thing will kick your ass

 

If landmine is the same thing as a T-bar row, then hell yeah. Love using that thing. It really helps target my mid back

Sometimes it feels like my back muscles can pull more weight, but my stance can't handle it, like I'm gonna fall forward.

My fav is the wide grip pull up bar. I begin and end my back day with 25 wide grip pull ups.

 

Well I am about 4 or 5 weeks into my Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Routine.

So far have noticed some pretty good results.

Bench went from 155 to 185
Squat went from 150 to 215
Deadlift went from 195 to 255
Overhead press has pretty much stayed the same at 105
Pendlay Rows went from 70 to 100

With that said, obviously I have had great results so far with bench/squat/deadlift. However, I can't for the life of me get my overhead press up and I haven't seen a whole of improvement with the pendlay rows either.

I feel as if my back and shoulders are not getting as strong as the rest of my body??? Should I add some extra shoulder/back workouts on those days (even though the routine does not call for it) or do I just continue to do the weight in hopes that eventually I will be able to add more to it? I have been very pleased with the results for the most part, but it is starting to get very frustrating.

 

May have reached your potention on those since they're smaller lifts......keep milking the big lifts until you stall, your numbers are great. If you can find some smaller plates in .5lb increments that may help you to keep moving up?

 

I mean that is definitely a possibility, but I am at the same place I was 4 weeks ago in regards to military/overhead press. I would have to imagine I can put on some type of weight, hell idk. So I am wondering whether or not I should add an extra shoulder and/or back workout on those days to maybe boost it up?

 

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnot quite. it's a functional movement piece of equipment

Thanks man, I'll check it out! Is extra L-glut a waste? I think there's 5-6g of BCAA's and 4g of glut in my protein powder (muscle milk 100% whey from costco).

 

Sean's a rep for Isatori, so I don't wanna step on his toes but I have used Battle Fuel and really like the stuff. Its a great product and has many good side effects aside from just boosting test.

My resting heart rate is high 40's low 50's
