Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

BLACKMARKET AdreNOlyn Cuts Pre-Workout at Bodybuilding.com - Best Prices on AdreNOlyn Cuts Pre-Workout!

This is officially the best pre-workout I have tried, and I have only taken 3/4ths of a dose.

Energy feels clean as fukk, and its neverending. I have been doing the stepmill in between sets and I barely lose my breath throughout my whole workout

I wouldn't pay $50 but luckily my gym sells supplements at near cost so I only paid 38

Why does my lower back feel warm. No strains or pain, just a tiny warm sensation. I did do DLs yesterday but I felt not strains and my form was solid. Woke up this morning alert and invigorated.

But now this warmness is odd. I'll give it a night's rest and see what's up afterwards.

I thought I was the only one who thought this. This shyt legit makes me mad.

Seen an Asian dude on Sunday quarter squatting while hiking up his shorts.

Man with your lower back, take a couple weeks, maybe even a month off from squats / deadlifts . Don't play with that shyt. I know in the past my back has gotten tight or in a knot from heavy lifting and that's what I did. I've never had any chronic injuries, but the best advice I can give is to listen to your body. Do some extra static stretching in the meantime.

Oh yeah and I think @ocmfII went through some intense back pain....

Well, I was just looking at doing some limited warm up set work, not my normal/progressive volume, I've gotten some lower back tightness/knotting bad once in the past (mostly due to the he-man mentality) but I've never experienced anything like this.

Been doing some yoga oriented back stretches and it def still is tender in the lower backso I'm going to hold off the barbell work for a while;
I'm pretty much stuck doing bench now

Meal prepping has been one of my biggest tools as far as keeping my nutrition in check. I switch my meals every week and will "half" cook some dishes on Sunday then finish them off Wednesday so they're fresh.

Heck, cooking as a whole has been a game changer. Been saving a lot of recent.

What you cook?

Im tired of Chicken Pasta, Chicken & rice, and Hamburger helper

3x5x350 on squats felt good today... can't get greedy though, slow grind got me here. Oh yea, and my EliteFTS extra heavy duty knee sleeves™ :scumbag:

Embracing the winter ... cant make an omelette without breaking some eggs.... can't make lean mass gains without putting on some fat We are working though

Copped some of these last week during an amazon sale

So far so good. Love that they don't contain caffeine. Gives me the same energy pre workout that critean does.

Aww man I cook a lot of different things. I've always liked cooking since childhood. Like I used to make different dishes since I was like 8 yrs old so I know my way around the kitchen.

In the past couple months for Lunches and Dinner I've made:

-Thai Chicken Curry with roasted veggies and brown rice
-Roasted sweet potatoes with braised pork
-Turkey Chilli with beans and lentils
-Chicken stir fry with mixed squash and veggies
-Jerk style chicken stir fry with mixed veggies
-Seasme kale & spinach salad with sliced duck breast
-Braised shrimp with vegetable skillet
-Baked Salmon with asparagus
-Roasted Tilapia with peppers
-Seasme beef with brown rice and roasted veggies

One of my guys is big into the grocery distribution business within the DC area so I can get a lot of meats and veggies at whole sale prices.

I usually try and cook an "exotic" meal on the weekends so I don't feel the need to eat out. So I'll make Pad Thai at home instead of ordering out.

It just takes some planning and knowledge about cooking honestly. Just a few ingredients packaged in different ways.

Nah I haven't felt the need to train to be in an oxygen depleted area wet so I just breath whatever the local air is.

Had a real moment

I'm heating up my lunch (I have it around 10:30) and this woman is like "oh youre having an early lunch". I forgot how we got into it but I think she asked me how many meals I have a day.... I said like 2-4, to which she says "ah thats why youre always hungry. Nutritionists say you're supposed to have 6 meals a day". I said something and she repeated herself.

Mind you.... I'm me. She is maybe 5' 4" and easily has a good 50-80lb on me. Maybe you should cut back to 3 meals a day instead of me jumping to 6
