    Could not agree more. Bloodwork is crucial if you are going to go down that road. Dont be lazy, get it done, because it is the only way to know what is going on in your body. Im on TRT so I get bloodwork done at least every 3 months and it is the key to feeling good. Like Wolf said...

    Id start by just cutting down on the carbs, maybe one meal a day with carbs. Your body definitely needs some carbs so if you're used to having a lot of carbs and switch to a really low carb diet it might be too much. Wont catch any flack from me about crossfit. Its a damn good workout if you...

    Everyone's body is different so its often hard to say do this and you will see results. But for me, I do best with high protein, lotsss of veggies, high fats, and very low carbs. I eat at least 3 high protein meals a day usually chicken, fish, or beef with lots of veggies like squash, carrots...

    Crazy shit. Stay safe man. Wish I could come lend a hand. It sucks feeling unsafe on your own land. Good news is they won't last long in that heat.

    Been having some low back issues so my training has suffered some. But got in the gym and decided to go heavy last night. Started off with a couple 400m runs to get warm. Then decided to do some benching. Ended up hitting 370x1 which is a 30lb PR so I'm pumped about that. And got in some "heavy"...

    No disrespect, but controlling your reps on snatch or clean after performing the lift is not really beneficial. And if you're doing heavy singles then it is common practice to drop the weight from the top. I realize a lot of people are annoyed by this, and there a lot of guys who think throwing...

    I gotcha. Whats your PCT look like? Typical Nolva/Clomid? You ever ran Torem?

    Definitely understand this comparison as dedicated long distance running will not yield great results for muscle mass. However, sprinting does tax the body a lot more and require more time for recovery that could hinder strength training while not building a good cardiovascular base. Low...

    You and me both. I avoid it like the plague. Makes me feel like I'm dying a slow painful death haha Yeah the more reading I do the more I realize thats its a necessary part of any program as the physiological responses can benefit even a dedicated powerlifter. Obviously you dont want to...

    Hows PCT going Wolf? Still waiting for everything to clear or are you in your PCT now? Feeling better now that you're off the devil juice? haha On another note, any of you powerlifters do some endurance training alongside your lifting? Ive been reading Alex Viada's Hybrid Athlete and its...

    Thanks brother. :hug: Never realized how important sleep was until I started having trouble with it. I'm a student right now and I still struggle to get to the gym sometimes with my schedule. It's gonna be an adjustment when I get out into the working wolrld later this year. Pretty sure I'd...

    Im sure he busts his ass in the gym. Not easy to put on that much size at his height and stay so lean. Definitely has some great genetics though. Always wished I had grown taller. At 5'10", I would look like a bowling ball if I was 260lbs
