Since the plan I'm doing now is M/T/Th/F, I have rest day at the gym on Wednesday. For me that typically entails 15-30 min each of stationary bike, incline treadmill, and IR sauna. If I'm up for it (and have the time), I follow the same routine on S/Su also. Saturday and Sunday are much less freq...

My insurance covered Ozempic 100%. I had no hoops to go thru. Doctor sent in the script and it was ready that afternoon. It's a Cigna high deductible plan....

I don't have Silverback to compare it to that one. I have Oak Tree and Oak Tree Remastered. To me it doesn't compare at all to Oak Tree; I've ran this one few times. I haven't ran Oak Tree Remastered yet, but looking thru the plan it has some similar rep/weight combinations. The days and comb...

[quote]280/207.8/190[/quote] 280/206.6/190 This will be my last check-in for a few weeks. Going to Europe for a couple weeks. I will do my best to eat healthy, but it'll be harder to track calories/protein when we're on the move and unfamiliar with the foods....

This may seem like a dumb question, but I'm looking at long term success. I'm using the muscle hacking > leansgains calculator and currently my deficit calories almost perfectly align with my goal weight maintenance calories. I'm losing weight at a decent pace (right about 2# per week). I k...

[quote]how do you know when to increase you max? Meaning, when I started and my bench max was 130 for example, when do I raise that max to 150[/quote] Typically you increase the training max each month. 5# for upper (Bench) and 10# for lower (Squat/Deadlift)....

Hypertrophy W3D2 Knocked this one out Tuesday. Day 2 on this plan should just be called squats... Knocked out all the squats with pretty decent form. It's been a while, but I had to make myself start the last couple sets. Once I started them, it was fine. I finished all the sets and reps. F...

[quote]All the better if you do, but I know probably a dozen who have done nothing but take the shot, be conscientious of their intake (stop eating when they begin feeling full), and have lost a lot of weight. I’d say 20% weight reduction (40-50#).[/quote] The problem with this method is the mass...

[quote]280/210.3/190[/quote] 280/207.8/190 This past week was rough diet wise. I stayed in check averaging 2292 cal and 201 protein. It took effort, will, and protein shakes to make sure I hit the protein goal without blowing thru the calories....

[quote]What kind of pain was it?[/quote] Kind of hard to describe. It's in the center, on the front on my right thigh, roughly upper 1/3rd of the muscle. When I put my right leg back (roughly 2 ft) I feel it tighten up a good bit. Then going down to a lunge position I can get most of the way...
