MuscleScience's Iron Lab

Welp, skipped two workouts. Since I put my notice in at work. The fucking rats started jumping ship. One staff doc resigned immediately and another decided to move back their start date on their own. Plus two admin staff are flaking out big time. The owners suck and the staff knows it, so my last two weeks have been busy as hell keeping it together. I start my new gig/life in 2 weeks. I can't wait. Today was so busy and I had to put out fires and keep patients happy. I came home with the intention of doing a back workout. Instead I took two shots of crown and turned on some tv...

Best of luck with your new venture!

Idk, depends on what cert we can get from USDA or FDA and also depends on the retail outlet. Depending on completely arbitrary conditions, meat products either fall under USDA or FDA inspection guidelines. And both have their own set of regulations. As they interprete federal law a bit differently. I don't know how to navigate USDA at all, luckily my bizz partner does. Basically until we open and declare what our organization is, we won't know who will be inspecting us.

I'm not your partner.

No you're Bizzaro from Italia. You have an accentay lika Mario. (In Mario Italian accent)

If you are opening a direct to market production you will fall under USDA. Depending on quantity you are subject to inspection once a year. The inspection is a laughable joke. Inspectors are clueless and not nearly as thourough as an individual state entity you deal with if you are selling to a co-op type operation.
For this reason most products marketed as "organic" are not held to nearly as stringent sanitation and chemical guidlines.
As soon as inspection is over, life goes back to whatever you please for 10 mobths so to speak.
If you produce for co-op market as in non organic, mass production, selling to the big names, you are evaluated by state organizations that are way mare stringent and up your ass six times a year at random.
As much as people dont want to believe it, organic will make you sickly long before nonorganic.
I have pulled over 100,000 specimen samples from bulk milk tanks. The highest bacteria counts always came from the amish farms. The lowest came from the bigger farms.
I could tell folks things about milk they wouldn't believe. Yet I drink 5 gallons a week...

My accent? I might pm you a brief rec. Only the damn Swedes told me I have a rather thick Italian accent (but when speaking Swedish).

Pretty good workout tonight, tonight was chest, tris and shoulders. Everything felt really, I'm noticing that it takes a lot more to warm up nowadays since I'm 2 years older than the last time I was really getting after it.

I decided to do some light sets of squat just to see how the knee feels. I ended up doing 6 sets of 10 with 135 on the bar. It felt really good, I mixed in some cardio rope with it and got some pretty descent cardio in. I think before I go heavier than 135 I am going to get up to 100 total reps. At 60 I was getting pretty tired and my form was starting to give. I think I will follow how I did with with body weight squats when I first started rehabbing the knee. I figure it's best to build a rock solid foundation first. Yeah it probably won't put on the mass at first but if I can get my form perfect and my muscle endurance up. That should help reduce the risk of reinjury.

Congrats on the start on life, you got it, it will work out great. Some times you just have to do what you have to do.

In my life Im about to start a new 19,000 sq ft house. They wont tell me how long the project is but Im not to sure I want to be locked into something this big. I have to do some thinking and planning, I need to step up and make some moves, hearing about you is very encouraging

A close friend of mine competed. Took 5th in his class. Another from my area won his class (BB'ing") and got his card. Good stuff.

Got a solid back and Bi's workout in today for Merica.

Little update pic, putting on some mass. Slightly over 225lbs this morning. I obviously need to lean up a bunch but the size is coming on.

[MuscleScience]

Got a terrible sore throat, started coming down with a cold yesterday. Wasn't going to push my workout to hard, but got carried away. Probably made me worse for today. Oh well, I got a good pump

[RaginCajun]

Looking big man!

Get well bud, may be your body telling you something

i look forward to visiting in the near future!

[MuscleScience]

Man, I feel like absolute dog shit. I haven't really even had a cold in several years. I left work early and went straight home and slept for 4 hours. I don't have a day off until Sunday...

[RaginCajun]

Damn MS, load up on some vit C and D3

And stop kissing those sick girls in bikinis!

Damn MS, hate to hear this. Here's hoping you start feeling better really soon!! Are you running a fever? Sounds like it. If so, a trip to the PCP might be in order.

Thanks man, I thought it was strep at first but I have no pustules and no real fever. It seems like it's just a bad cold, I had one of the Staff Docs look down my throat and in my ears before I left work. Some redness and a little bit of tonsil swelling, my ear drums were fine. Which if you have strep that is one place that can get infected. I am basically worn down from working to much I'm guessing.

Yup, and they will live in it maybe 6 weekends a summer.

Saw your post yesterday n the nutrition section about nitrogen retention. How does one increase this, as I feel this is one my problems with my body.

It's one of the positive benefits of taking most AAS.

In untrained individuals, when one first starts exercising they will see an increase in nitrogen retention. Also increasing protein intake and specifically BCAA's.

Some supplements like Creatine Monohydrate will also help with protein synthesis.

[MuscleScience]

There is some evidence also that HIIT can also increase over standard resistance training due to higher release of growth hormones during and after exercise. But honesty I don't think that effect is going to make much of a noticeable difference over standard resistance exercise.

i am not on any AAS currently, but do feel these affects when on cycle (which has been probably 4-5 years or so).

wonder if i need to up my protein intake and get on some creatine mono? my body creeks, snaps, and pops in almost every joint, i couldn't sneak up on deaf person!!!

is there any type of blood test that would show my levels of protein synthesis? not sure i phrased that question correctly but hopefully you get the gist of it.

Um, there are I don't know what they are right off the top of my head. Unless you were cacaxic I don't think it would be worth looking into.

You could look at IGF-1 levels that would give you a good idea.

Another way would be to monitor exactly how much food you take in, compare that to body wieght and weigh your feces. But I don't know if you want to do that

interesting, don't think i will get that technical just yet! haha!

i may have to look into the IGF-1 thing as i do take longer to heal

thanks for your input.

My IGF-1 levels dwindled from 280 to 190 over the last couple of years, despite I was almost bedded in the former reading and my protein intake was very low, no AAS other than a little of Test at the time.

What do?

[MuscleScience]

Not much to report since I got sick on July forth. I'm feeling much better but my lungs a packed with mucus, so workouts aren't great ATM. Should be full strength soon.

[MuscleScience]

Great workout yesterday, chest tris and shoulders. Got some
Back squats in too.

A bit down in the dumps today for varies reasons so o decided
To get drunk instead of going to the gym

Ok not really but I had a beer to calm my nerves. Will hit a hard leg day
Tomorrow or back depending on how my knee feels. Was just to down to hit the gym tonight. Just hung out with my dog and reflected on what matters in life.
