[quote]I only have Rogue bands now because they marked them down for closeout, Elite FTS are the best IMO, but if it's just me working out and using my own bands I'm just getting whatever. If I had to buy bands that were gonna be used in a gym by dozens or maybe even hundreds of people, I'd be more ...

any suggestion on adding creatine to my pre-workout routine? I usually just drink water and black coffee. Drink a protein shake after my workout. Should I add creatine to my pre-workout? I'm doing fine right now without it. ...

Going to sleep earlier has been huge for me. I know you didn't ask for this, but actively changing every negative thought to a positive one and a prayer. Anytime i think "I dont want to" or "I cant" or "maybe ill just skip today" i actively force myself to say " I can; and I will; because lazine...

I cant help with your question as I'm new to all this, but 4 weeks into Grasshopper and I changed my mind on stopping at 4 weeks. I am loving the program and lifting in general, and I'm intrigued by the 4x per week training that starts at week 5. So I'm going to run the program using light weight...

I did some calculations. If i finish out the 4 intro weeks, take a week off, redo the Grasshopper program for a full 8 weeks, take a week off, then do 70s big 3 times a week to complete that 7 week program, I end in the last week of September. Lines up perfectly for my first Squatober if I'm able to...

2 weeks into Grasshopper and I am enjoying it. Still planning to do it for 4 weeks at minimal weight then take a week off and figure out training maxes, then restart the program and do the full 8 weeks using that training max. I also totally understand now why people skip leg day :lol: Soreness ...

re: Running shoes worth it??

Posted by JonahDatHeifer on 5/23/24 at 10:58 am
I always wore Brooks Launch. Loved them. Switched last year to Hyperion Tempos. Find the running shoe that works for you and stick with it. Brooks has a program where you can try the shoe out for like 60 days and run in it and everything and then return it if you dont like it. Try out a few diff...

How about eating? I'm still trying to lose gross fat, and not trying to look like the Hulk or Thor yet, so on workout days (M/W/F) I'm eating around 2000 calories and 80 or so grams of protein. On rest days(T/TH) I run a large caloric deficit (something like 1500 calories and 70/80g protein) . On...
