    Back At It Soon - Minimizing BP Increases And Gear

    For quite some time I’ve just been cruising with Test C at 150mg/week, but want go back on for 12 weeks (may shorten it a few weeks if BP gets too high). I typically keep it basic with 400-500mg Test C per week, but have ran it quite a few times with either EQ or NPP, along with proviron (@John...

    All, Hope all is going well with all of you. As the title mentions been much more inactive than usual. Much of the typical things, family, work, etc. (yeah excuses excuses), but hoping to get back to regularly reading and participating. All is well with me and garage gym is still going strong...

    Portable ice bath bottom plate with potential wheels

    I think this is the most appropriate place to ask this question. Recently purchased a fairly cheap ice bath that is inflatable. Right now have a spot in basement for it as it’s on waterproof vinyl plank floors in our downstairs kitchen. Have access to faucet and ice from a full size fridge to...

    Potential for better sex or frequency

    Just wanted to share a recent “technique” if you will for those of us in fairly long marriages or relationships, especially with young kids, though may work in other situations. Just some backstory on me to see if it can relate. Married at 25 to an amazing wife who I would to this day do...

    No plates required!

    For some reason my tablet wouldn’t let me log in the site over the past week or so but found a way around it (though I don’t using my phone vs iPad). Anyhow sorry for not posting and I miss hearing all the new topics and conversations. Things have been crazy at work and hone. All is good though...

    Blood Donation - past due! COMPLETE

    Been a bit but finally got my double reds donated today. Hematocrit and RBC have typically been a bit elevated (not so much now that I’m not on cycle). However, always strongly suggest donating blood especially if you have prior history being enhanced as well as if you have a genetic...

    FB Ads have Strong Game - Resting Beard Face

    Ads that get pushed to my feed seem to be more and more effective on knowing what will pull me in. I love more unique and obscure t-shirts and this one just was too good to pass up. Need to up the beard game by growing it out a bit longer than my typical short stubble version that I’ve basically...

    Back after a little hiatus- new toy - ISO Lever Arms

    Haven’t added much to my garage gym but finally pulled the trigger on some adjustable lever arms. In no way do I think they are essential but rather more of a “luxury” piece that will supplement your staple barbell/dumbbell work. However doing unilateral movements and essentially being able to...

    Strength Training Tracking Apps - Gymaholic

    I used to always just use a small notebook to track my workouts, exercises, sets, and reps, but over the past year have been using this Gymaholic app that has been great, so just wanted to share my experience. This will sync to a smart watch if you have one (I have an Apple Watch) so it’s easier...

    Christmas protein powder - peppermint bark

    Just ran across this newer protein powder that is a Christmas peppermint bark flavor to start getting into the spirit. Haven’t tried it yet but smells nice and should be good mixed in my Ninja using ice, milk, oats, and the protein powder. Verdict is pending. Kids are now getting stir crazy...

    Progress Update - Iron Moose Gym

    Just a quick update on current progress that began late Dec 2021, overall currently hovering around 200-202 lbs at 6’ even. Waist is now smaller than when I was in HS (currently wearing 30 in waist with 32/34 length. Maybe some of you are better at estimating BF, but believe I’m sitting around...

    Kids following example

    This was one benefit of building my own home gym in the garage. I have 5 kids, one is 13 so I’ve been starting to get him into the basics (currently playing football and travel baseball). The rest are a bit too young, though them seeing what goes on in the gym definitely has skewed their...

    4 Post to 6 Post Rack Complete!

    OPERATION Rack Extension complete! Added another post to turn my power rack into a 6 post as I needed a bit more weight in the back for support/safety and the added storage space is great - it stores my pairs of deep dish 100s and 45s on one side. I then put a vertical barbell holder on the...

    Belt Squat - New addition and setup

    Hi all! Been a bit crazy here at home so haven’t been on as much as I’d like. Wanted to share my new toy. I ended getting a belt squat attachment that was designed specifically for my rack (REP 5000). The benefits were that it’s easily removable and doesn’t take up much space and that it hooks...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    I’m sure quite a few have seen similar set-ups, but wanted to share what seems to work best for me when using my landmine for Viking presses. I have seen companies advertise separate stands to set the barbell on so you are at a better start position. However simply using a jcup on the other end...

    Belt Squats and Ideal Belt

    All, After doing a bit of research and also with the suggestion of @Poppy I pulled the trigger on a belt squat attachment that is designed for my power rack. It attaches to the high cable pulley and the the other end to your belt. Question is what belt do you all suggest mainly for belt...

    Body Comp Transformation

    All, Here is an update on my journey back to fitness. I previously was very active into my late 20s but fell off due to quite a few life factors (not using this as an excuse). Here are the keys that worked for me to get in shape and drop the dad bod (265 to 200 lbs). Resistance training is...

    Morning! Hope you all have a nice weekend. Went for a 4 mile brisk walk this morning and watched the sun come up. Starting the day off this way really puts me in a good mood and mindset that lasts all day. Now to decide breakfast.

    Late Dinner - Flat Iron Steak and Broccoli

    On a weird schedule again so just had dinner. Went with searing a flat iron steak on the gas range then finishing it off to medium in the oven. Also added a crapload of steamed broccoli with just some salt. I recently started buying my meat in bulk as after doing the math this much cheaper than...
