My veggies are doin great, except SOMETHING is eating my lettuce!!! Whatever it is hasn't touched the squash, peppers, chard, spinach, or garlic, but when I got home from a 3 day vacation I noticed some groups of holes in my romaine. The leaves with holes also have broken spines, so I'm...

Unfortunately I just had a 5 day hiatus from lifting, I was up at Lake Tahoe for a few days and just been busy lately... I got in some cardio sessions but had no access to barbells/weights so it felt good to lift again today. I had to work in with a guy using the squat rack so I just did...

yes, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an OTC allergy med, but it makes you drowsy so be careful about takin it during the day.

About the whole "you have a 45min-1hr window to get your protein in after a workout," that's a common misunderstanding... it refers to a metabolic window, not a digestive window. With this in mind, I think eating enough quality protein in your pre-workout meal (or preworkout shake) is more...

I've been pretty busy this week so I haven't been able to get online much, but here's my workout from Tuesday: Squats 5x5x175 Bench 5x5x125 Rows 5x5x100 Pushups (50, 36, 31) hanging leg raises 2x15 prone bridges 2x60sec My hands are a mess right now... one of my calluses is starting to rip and...

Squats 5x5x170 OH press 5x5x85 Deadlift 1x5x235 Chinups (13, 10, 8) prone bridges 2x60sec I can tell the OH Press will be the first lift I stall on... as soon as I do I'll pick up some fractional plates so I can add 2.5 instead of 5 lbs each time.

This thread was the straw that broke the camels back... I finally went out and picked up some veggies to start my first garden today. I'm starting small but may get more stuff in the next couple weeks. For now I have: 6 spinach, 6 red romaine lettuce, 6 garlic, 2 squash, 2 red bell peppers, 1...

Interesting vid, thanks for that

Today's workout: Squats 5x5x165 Bench 5x5x120 Rows 5x5x95 Pushups (49, 30, 26) prone bridges 2x60sec

Don't start her on any stimulants (DMAA in that pill for example) until you ask her Dr. about them... he may know of a pre-existing condition she has that could cause a bad reaction. Do some research on CLA and GLA (conjugated linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid), they're fatty acids that...

From what I've gathered from online research, 5mg a day is very unlikely to cause suppression, but doses higher than that can. Sooo taking a double dose of bridge ON cycle (ie, to replace HCGenerate) is probably fine since you're already suppressed and planning on doing a PCT anyways, but I...

Is that 5mg per capsule, or 5mg total per 3-cap serving? The ingredient list on ntbm.com doesn't show amounts for bridge, and on the "alpha princess stack" page it lists 5mg pregnenolone but doesn't say "per serving" or "per capsule."

Thanks for the support! I'm really glad I joined EF, it's been such a good motivator for me (not to mention a treasure trove of info on training, diet, supps, etc). Here's todays workout: Squats 5x5x160 OH Press 5x5x80 Deadlift 1x5x225 Chinups 3xf (12, 9, 7) <--aaalmost got 13 on the 1st set...

I'm keeping my diet clean and consistent for the first time in awhile, eating 3500cals at 40/30/30 each day. As long as I keep that in check and stick with my 5x5 routine religiously, I think I'll see some results. The main thing I'm hoping for from this stack is help with recovery between...

dont you mean the narrower your grip and the wider your stance is, the less distance the bar has to travel? Seems to me a narrow stance = higher finishing position = longer distance from floor, no?
