August Most Improved Competition [ENTRY OPEN until start]

[Charlie67]

Finally normal meals! Feeling full afterwards and no carb cravings.

Bloods came back good just 2-3 things I'm waiting for (cholesterol and some other) triglycerides at bottom of range 0.45mmol/L = true cutting diet! Upper niacin to 3g per day since liver and kidney is excellent.

First pin 100mg prop 50mg NPP done this morning, training later. TRAINING!!!

Good to hear your happy with your labs, NPP is in my next cycle for sure. I also started my cycle this week, heck, I'll probably look like you by Friday.

Got a good arm workout in

Looking big brother. Happy to see you're feeling better and you're able to train hard again.

Excellent alternate exercise the belt squat. Very quad dominant lever move, you still get some lower back (muscle) activity but zero strain on the spine.

Damn CM, you're always doing things I've never heard of... given your size, how are you loading enough weight on a belt to challenge you? The logistics of just setting up for a set seem daunting. I found a variation, "Straddle" Hip Belt Squats, I could see this working a bit better for me, but it would certainly draw attention at the gym, lol. I may try it anyway.

I'd need Synthol to add a 1/4" to my arms, lol.

Don't know what pics you're looking at but you are about 40+ lbs heavier lol I'm not that big.

My gym got a hip belt LEVER squat so it's not a hanging chain, it's a lever. I'll try to find a pic. Comfortable and stable too, loaded 200kg no stability issues just some marks on my skin from the belt.

I think you mean 40lbs fatter, but I appreciate your politeness, lol.

I thought you you were hanging 200kg from a chain, lol. I was like, "Damn, that's 10, 45lb plates!". That machine looks awesome. I like my gym, but its pretty plain. We don't have all the cool toys.... but its better than Planet Fitness.

My last gym was horrible but for the job done. This one's a pseudo bber gym kind of good has 150lb DBs. A month after I bought one years membership, I found a new strongman/PL gym that has EVERYTHING even deadlift bars, squat bars, proper monolift, atlas stones etc. I'll start there in February when this membership is over
