    Hello all,diets and training for today

    Made a big batch of smoked chicken breasts using hickory logs and hardwood lump charcoal. Seasoned with a great rub I order from TX…loved Rudy’s BBQ. Have enough for another day or so. 😎

    Garage Gym - In Progress

    This is a good point and something that should be considered if you are thinking about cutting the “commercial gym cord.” Will this option work best for everyone, absolutely not. A lot will depend on your own training goals, your type of exercise programming (e.g, do you use a lot of machines or...

    Thinking about running a cycle soon.

    Great advice and comments above. I also agree holding off on the AI until bloodwork is done or if you are getting significant sides. Ultimately bloodwork is most important to do once on cycle, though I would suggest also seeing where your levels are now before hopping on to get a baseline.

    Haha yep I believe it! If going to train others I’d probably need to expand my gym to take over both sides of the garage. Probably add a leg press/hack squat combo, smith machine, and probably a setup to do cable crossovers. Can’t fit anything else big with my current setup but am good with it...

    Garage Gym - In Progress

    I had considered it and reinstating my CSCS certification to possibly do that, but after thinking about it more it’s be quite the endevour as I’d likely need to get insurance coverage. Also not sure what our wonderful (sarcasm) HOA would think of running a gym business in the garage. So for now...

    Look what arrived. These are some beauties! Going to put them to use in a bit this evening.

    Just ate 1800 cals how am I looking

    Yeah it’s a crazy thing with proper lighting, having a pump, and ideal posing can have on pics. Saw a few videos on how in just a single day dramatic before/after pics can be created. I know @Dirtnasty isnt doing this here for that effect, but sheds some light on how easy people can fall for ads...

    Garage Gym - In Progress

    Still waiting on receiving my 2 pairs of 45s and 100s 😡. Usually for almost all things I went through Rogue with they were quite fast. I suppose getting 300 lbs of weight to be delivered may be a shipping challenge! Can’t wait to get the 100s as they will greatly help getting to my working set...

    💡 Tip of the day: Have you heard of PT-141? (Libido Booster)

    Very timely post as I just was experimenting with this. Damn it definitely works, but be prepared for spontaneous erections for the next 12-16 hours! I went with 1.5 mg. Dose seems to generally be between 1-2 mg, but have read some doctors prescribe 4 mg in cases where the typical dose doesn’t...

    Oddly enough they are cheaper than their standard iron plates. I’m sure that’ll change soon so if wanting deep dish at a good price may want to jump on them fast as prices are going up once again on everything, especially steel!

    I noticed with the leg extension/leg curl machine I recently got was way too easy to max out the amount of plates I can do for extensions (an option of course is to go single leg, but like doing both at same time). As a result sold a couple older 45s I had left over on the marketplace and added...

    New to Bitcoin…current thoughts and best practices

    Yeah and the nice thing with automatic recurring investments drops weekly, I don’t have to constantly think about it. Probably most importantly not psych myself out when prices dramatically change. Though I check it weekly I could go a few weeks and not worry about it. Like I said this is a long...

    New to Bitcoin…current thoughts and best practices

    Right, though I’m no expert, I wouldn’t recommend the short term accumulation but rather treat it as a long term investment, as over the years the value continues to rebound after a decline to higher and higher values. The exception as you mentioned would be immediate purchase for payment...

    New to Bitcoin…current thoughts and best practices

    Very good points and appreciate all the comments. I should clarify that I didn’t choose swan solely because of gurus that support it, but more importantly was that I know a few people that have been dealing with Bitcoin much longer than me that use it. Thanks again!

    Cardio Tips for Bodybuilders

    Great write up and agree with virtually everything. The only point that I’m more on the fence about is early morning cardio. I am well aware to the theory that since fasted, more fat may be mobilized. Studies do certainly back this up, but overall I believe timing isn’t as important as fitting...

    New to Bitcoin…current thoughts and best practices

    Using Swan Bitcoin. It’s backed by quite a few high profile guys. I went with a basic wallet that still has code that is to only be written down and it was also a recommendation by Swan though there were a few other options listed. This one seemed to be the best fit for me. I just added the...

    New to Bitcoin…current thoughts and best practices

    Hi all, Definitely way off the general topic of bodybuilding so putting this here! I was looking for a recent discussion on this topic but didn’t really find much, so am just starting a new thread. Previously, I never got very into investing (aside from my retirement account with my work), but...

    My mom passed away last night

    Sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose someone so close you, as I lost my father way too early a few years back. You will get through this, though the pain will still be there, but with time it does get easier to manage.

    So added some LED light strands, since I was gifted them awhile back. My gym is like an arcade now! Definitely a bit distracting but I like it! Had a video but it wouldn’t upload. The music adjusts to the song beat. 🎉
