    What pre-workouts and what music we listen to while lifting

    I don’t have any experience with other types. I basically bought the fastest strain available on the website recommended by MPMD. It works nicely for me mixed with the caffeine. It gives me crazy focus and a powerful desire to get things done, if that makes any sense.

    What pre-workouts and what music we listen to while lifting

    Current PWO is 200 mg caffeine pill with 3 grams Diamond Malaysian Kratom. I actually listen to audiobooks while lifting. Currently on Red Seas Under Red Skies, book 2 of the Gentleman Bastard series.

    Standing ab rollouts are so impressive. I’d love to be able to do it one day.

    Gearing up for GainzZz

    Pretty much. I am measuring from the edge of my deadlift platform out 60" and placing a pad there and kneeling on it and then rolling the ab wheel to the edge of the platform and back. I will increase the distance as needed until I can get all the way to the ground for my sets. At that point...

    Gearing up for GainzZz

    So this is day 1 of the contest. I have abandoned the powerlifting routine and started powerbuilding using the same app. It looks like this week is going to be a low volume/stress week as the app is gathering info to build out the remainder of the program. Tempo Wide Grip Bench (5:0:0) 6@135...

    I just received my lab results

    One of the main reasons I joined up here is because I knew if I was doing something that was ill-advised I would get called out on it. I am learning as I go and welcome all input. Nobody worry about hurting my feelings; call it as you see it.

    I just received my lab results

    After getting the results, I started researching what might have caused the elevated creatinine levels and came across a relevant study on PubMed. This is why I thought the two might be connected. How the use of creatine supplements can elevate serum creatinine in the absence of underlying...

    I just received my lab results

    I have Tudca and Taurine on the way for liver support. As for the creatinine, the next time I have blood work done I will cut out creatine for a while before to see if my levels normalize. The morning of the labs I downed my pre-workout before I remembered I was supposed to be fasted for the...

    I just received my lab results

    I am currently on prescription test from my TRT clinic. My pre-TRT total test was 425. I never had the free tested before I started. I was expecting my total test to come back in the 900-1000 area, so I was surprised by the high number.
