re: Name a peptide that has helped you

Mk677 will make you eat not just the contents of the fridge but also some of the containers like a billy goat
If he quit causing catastrophes and saying stupid shite then people will start asking him about the Epstein files again
First summer stacked 2 leg day got me. Didn’t look that bad on paper but my glutes and hamstrings and quads are sore today. Prolly was the 2 weeks off lifting I guess.
I wouldn’t want to wear #5 anyway. Seems like you’re cursed to go to the Redskins and have your acccomplishments erased from LSU folklore :)
I work out at home with NuoBells so my house rules are a bit different from lsu777s :)

if you want lower body focus, the two glute programs, lets get peachy and house of the rising buns are great programs for that. tougher than you think for sure.


We ran peachy as a program party on here once and I think it was maybe the hardest program we ran. 4 day full body was no joke

I haven’t run it but it looks pretty gnarly. His programs are intelligently load balanced, but I’ve found as I get older I can run a push/pull/leg/rest and recover okay, and I can do squatober or benchuary programs where the rest of the workout is pretty easy/short. But if he’s hitting a mix of parts every day in the 4 or 5 day programs at some point I run out of gas on the accessories and it’s not really doing much for me.

I have run strongville and silverback and enjoyed them, though. I also liked 70s big and mass that lasts a lot. I do minimal cardio outside of walking 10k steps/day however
As long as I get some pressure cookers and some see saws I’m good
Silverback is lower volume but slightly heavier and less farmer walks. Still has bench/squat/OHP 2x a week and deadlift variations 2x a week tho which is a lot.
I'm 52 but I'm in. I treat it like I raise my TMs as I can all year and then I try to actually hit them in the PR party.

I couple it with sober October too (though I'm drinking in general a lot less nowadays) and that helps recover

Summer stacked 2 day one for me. I worked out my my son when I visited him last week and hit 349x3 on the gyms supine press. So just need to drop 20-30 lbs but the strength is still there
I have almost bought the Hume home health one a couple times. I have a Fitbit aria 2 and hate the new Google app. I want something that I can easily get data to spreadsheet or at least apple health with my steps.
Punters I guess? I think we had 2-3 38s every year for a while
You don’t remember all our kickers wearing the same number when Les was coach?
Isn't most of this site Gen X? If we are what's holding things together then this thing is fricked.

Silverback if strongville is too long; I really liked 70s big when I was eating thick too

I snagged that book by John Meadows off Google Drive. I have 2.5 weeks of work travel coming up so I may try to just reverse diet up to 10x my calories, keep activity as high as I can at hotels and walking and then try that when I get back.

I haven't tried giving it books specifically to use for diet; I was just using copilot from o365 and then free google/chatgpt to check up on it. My real concern was how to tell when to drop cals because I really don't want to lose lean mass because I'm 52 and not on TRT or anything and I'm greedy about my gains.

At any rate. this time around my weight loss has been almost perfectly flat for ~10 days like a stair step pattern with a big whoosh to get back on track. It follows a linear trend zoomed out enough but over any 2 week period it looks like nothing is happening, and it's really tough to see if I should make changes or just keep waiting for a big whoosh. I thought using data analysis would help but not really.

I've been having a bit of a mixed bag of luck with AI as a coach for my cut. I have been also trying to lose some weight running PPSA programs and eating at what I thought was a pretty aggressive deficit. I lost from 245 to 228 lbs since May 10, and was able to keep adding 5/10 lbs to PPSA lifts so strength is holding up. Anyway in general I find my weight loss is flat for 8-10 days then I lose weight in a stepwise pattern. I'm trying to NOT cut calories or add more cardio unless I have to, but ideally wouldn't spend a month at the same weight. Since about 25June I've been more or less stuck at 229 +/- 1 lb so trying to decide how to proceed.

Anyway in the last 3 days, my AI gym bro has told me (a) Your performance is elite everything is perfect you are kicking arse (b) You do seem to be in a plateau and could definitely cut 100 cals a day of food and add 20-30min cardio and (c) for your weight and height your calorie deficit is too big and you need to deload, add 300 cals of carbs and not lift more than 3-4 days a week.

So either do nothing, do more, or do less? Okay thanks. It did help me by suggesting to look at residuals from a 7day rolling average to understand my whoosh/stall periods better I guess.

It’s the program with front squat/bb row supersets in it, right? That combo is rough on the core bracing heh
