Other than my hair migrating from my head to my chin? People seem to think I've just gotten shredded but I think I look quite a bit smaller. Most of the mass I lost seems like it was my glutes and quads/hams though. PM workouts are hard to fit in to my schedule. May go back to working out in...

Interesting. From the way I'm reading it, and admittedly I am biased, it sounds like HST is ideal as long as you are taking deloads/SDs. Have you tried having Claude lay out the entire cycle for you?

Glad to hear that. Apparently, I'm at the age now where friends are occasionally having severe health issues, so I get a bit concerned. Do you do anything special to manage myo reps on bench? Or do you rely on the safety bars to catch it if you fail?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Kids brought home a disease last week, and it hit me and my wife both on Friday. I was a couple sets in to my workout when I decided to scrap it. Figures that happens right when I am starting my second week of HST. I think I'm pretty much recovered though. I'm...

Bodyweight: 214.5 Scale claims bodyfat is 14%, lean mass is 85% Had a physical yesterday, first one in over a year. Doctor was super happy about all my weight loss from the past year and encouraged me to try to get down to 180 lbs. Hah. Good news is that blood pressure, lipids, etc, were all...

Are you using a machine or something for the Viking press?

Everything okay health-wise? Was that just a routine checkup type thing?

Yesterday - only a bit sore in the pecs and arms from Friday Bodyweight: 210.4 lbs - this is up ~10 lbs since Friday, obviously a lot of water and stuff. My scale is supposed to tell me extra stuff like bodyfat percentage, lean mass percentage, water, etc. It claims those percentages are...

It's been a while. I've had a crazy last couple years with work and life in general. For various reasons, I haven't lifted meaningfully in about a year and in the same period, I've lost about 70 lbs of bodyweight too. I'm down to about 200 lbs bodyweight. Calipers say about 12% bodyfat. I...

I do singles for a week or three after the 5s.

AAS usage has a permanent effect on the maximum amount of muscle mass you can maintain after coming off. As for SARMs, they haven't been around long enough to know. With regards to drug usage, test is arguably the safest overall to use, when kept within reasonable limits. Hence why they use...

Not sure where exactly you are down there, but I hope you and your family are somewhere safe.

These are a few months apart and about 25 to 30 lbs difference. Currently weigh 235 lbs. I don't see much difference in the mirror most days but that's probably mostly psychological. I clearly look fatter in the face in the before pic. I've lost a lot of fat from my legs for some reason...

Edit: I can't get this board to show pics half the time. Grr.

You're a machine, man. Impressive.

someone thought they were being funny, so I decided to embrace the joke and post this picture everywhere

I've been doing weighted ab work every day and there is an noticeable difference. I'd definitely give it a shot.

I'm totally convinced that SDs or deloads help progress. The only issue is people use them improperly. Unless you know your body well enough to know when you're too close to the edge and need to SD, then they need to be programmed in sensibly by someone who knows what they are doing. Breaking...

People try to tell me I look good all the time but I never really believe them. All I see is baby arms, lats too small, fat, etc. But today I finally felt some sort of validation for all my efforts when my six year old son told me I look like a superhero after we watched Avengers. That gave me...

So I decided I was getting a little too fat. Also, I was getting kind of bored so decided to start slowly cutting. No actual diet. I just don't eat until I get home, so we can call it intermittent fasting, I guess. I've stopped progressing load, sticking with lifting my 5 and 10 RMs for...
