Background first: about 10 years ago, I had rotater cuff repair surgery on both shoulders. First right, then left. Right was more extensive and required drilling and installing a pair of anchors in the humerous. Recovery from this was excruciatingly painful. Pain so strong it took my breath away...

Hey, MC, been quite a while since I was active here. Been quite busy with all kinds of shit happening in life. Made a major change for the better and am now able to make time for training - which has been severely lacking - and maybe contributing a little bit here again. Glad to be back, and...

This is not a new observation for me, but my wife and I were just in Vegas for the weekend and it brought it right to the front of my consciousness, big time. Maybe it's because so many people make their living in Vegas with their looks: coctail waitresses; showgirls; waiters; waitresses...

Here's a question: Why does my pharmacy supplied (TRT script) test "freeze" and require heating to restore it to fully liquefied state, when my UGL test prop and mast (both E amd P) does not?? It's no big deal to deal with it, takes a couple minutes on the glass cooktop stove to make it ready to...

Happy Thanksgiving Muscle Chemistry! This is traditionally my favorite holiday. A time the family gathers to be together and give thanks for the many blessings we all have. There's a lot going on in my life these days, all of it good. This is a uniquely American holiday, and in addition to...

My wife and I are in Houston for the weekend, visiting family. We're staying in an air bnb apartment and I found a gym a quarter mile away. Go there this morning not knkwing what to expect and was DELIGHTED. This place reminds me of Mans World Gym in Trenton, NJ where I first started training a...

ED is an issue for me at times even when I'm on test. An acquaintance said to me a few years back, "We gotta get you on some HGH." when discussing this issue. What is your experience with the effects of HGH on sexual function? Did you exoerience an increase in sex drive and also erection...

I've posted some of the conditioning workouts I'm doing with a female trainer. She's a former figure competitor turned cross-fitter, runner and triathlete. I work out with her doing conditioning because I never do any of that on my own. So here's today's 30 minute workout: Warmup...

This is a Wall Street Journal article that I copied and pasted. Hopefully it comes through legibly. I'm a Bruins fan and a (well) over 40 amateur hockey player, so I found this article particularly interesting... How to Hang in the NHL at 40? Work Out Like a Fiend Boston Bruins captain Zdeno...

This time of year, a jean jacket is often exactly the right thing for a motorcycle ride. For YEARS, I have worn Lee jean jackets. My current one is probably at least 10 years old and getting raggedy. My wife ordered me a new one, same size (Large) - I will not address the reduced weight gabric...

Try this conditioning workout Take 65% of your heaviest training weight for deadlift. My example is 385 lbs for 6 or so reps is my heaviest deadlift set. Multiply that by. 65 and I get roughly 255. So, load the bar with 255 and put it on the floor near the chinup bar. You're gonna need a...

What's the best answer to this question? I have pretty much zero experience with short esters.

WARNING! CONTROVERSIAL RANT FOLLOWS! Who's really paying attention to this? And I don't mean, "Who's drinking the mainstream media Kool-Aid?" I am NOT supporting the "Alt-right" anti-Semitic, Neo-Nazi, "national socialist" views or platform. Let's make that clear and get it over with right...

I am gluten and lactose intolerant. I am out of protein powder and am looking for something that won't bother my stomach. I see that Myogenix has a whey isolate product called ISO. It claims, "Unlike most competing products, ISO contains:" A list of 14 items folllws, the first of which is...

I just finished a relatively quick chest and triceps workout at the company gym. I was able to go a little bit heavier than I have in a while on bench (294 for 5 reps) on my heaviest set. But besides that, part way through the workout I stopped and thought, "Fuckin AAA, I feel GREAT!!" That...

I recently decided to hire my wife's trainer to do "conditioning" training with me. We met this woman, whose name is Soonya, when we lived in Vegas for 2 years, and now that we're back east, my wife has kept on with Soonya via Skype (we have a well equipped home gym). I broke my leg a couple...

Anybody ever read this guy's book and use his diet plan? My wife did a slightly modified version of it maybe 7 years ago with much success. After getting burnt out on her more recent meal plan which she felt lacked in variety and the resulting couple month long free for all, she's back to this...

Several things conspired to interfere with my workouts in the last few months. For one thing, I hit a plateau in my 5x5 routine and just stopped making progress. Along with that, my shoulder started really giving me trouble. This is an old injury from a motorcycle crash in 2010 that was never...

Exactly what the title says! As Jim Morrison sang, "... I eat more chicken any man ever seen!" My wife and I are both so sick of eating chicken it ain't funny. She actually spit a bite of it out today at lunchtime and exclaimed, "I hate chicken!" I am currently choking down mine. I'm not sure...

Ok, so Trump is in office 2 days and the bitching not only hasn't ended but has been ramped up several notches. I have a few issues I want to bitch about myself: The press reports that Barry Obama leaves office with an approval rating of over 60%. I strongly suspect that this is more made up...
