This is a maneuver by drug companies after observing the market over the last year and a half. Whether you like it or not it is a bit ingenious. So there has been a shortage of Ozempic and Wagovy which diabetics were depending on. This was created because Dr's began prescribing them for the off...

Give it a chance. It's helped many people more than any other program. It's stood the test of time. You'll find that the anxiety you experience contemplating the meeting and recovery process is more painful than the doing. As men we hate to show vulnerability. Don't worry about that. Just take...

Certainly nothing to be ashamed about. I'm not sure it was worth it in my case. Some sleep apnea, maybe a little inflated ego, some dusty trophies in a box somewhere, and a torn pec. Oh, and the voice of Toby Keith in my head singing, I'm not as good as I once was. Heavy bench pressing is good...

Lol, I have to admit I haven't read this whole thread but it sounds like you guys are doing your job and he might not be passing the smell test? I'll reserve judgement a little longer. Yes, it would get my antenna up for sure. I'm always recruiting. I usually get calls from high school coaches...

Lifted in the 242's. Most of my training was around 250 lbs. I'm 6'1" Comp lift best 232.5 kgs. Best gym lift 240 kgs touch & go but with a bench shirt and wraps. Best raw 220 kgs.

A couple observations as a longtime coach (Certified USAPL) and as a former 500 lb. bencher. I'd be careful about forming an opinion based on a picture. A heavy bencher has several characteristics though. Short wing span relative to height. Long and mobile upper torso (Good arch). Relative short...

What do you mean by getting back into shape? What is your objective? Once you define your objective do some introspection and figure out why you got out of shape. If you have access to weights then the LP program that Money & Muscle posted is solid and will suit most men. IMO, if your objective...

I'd love to see it for sure. It seems as though most red meat research is by researchers with a vegetarian agenda or a bunch of N=1 "carnivore" types. Most of the red meat research is epidemiological and/or using those dang FFQs. The biggest issues will be finding a big enough sample of people...

I think seed oils have a role to play. Knowing correlation doesn't equal causation we still shouldn't ignore that our rate of obesity correlates with our consumption of seed oil. Specifically linoleic acid which is a type of omega 6. We do need omega 6s but our bodies aren't designed to handle...

Ha! I don't think it's wrong but I spent some of last night to go more in-depth and learned that there are some variables in there that really narrow it's application. I think it is the title that has my antenna up. Very hyperbolic. So that said, I think you have valid points of concern. There...

Thank you EyeBRollin, you may have a soul after all. I'm familiar with the paradox. I'm ready to drop it if we can agree that a better way of phrasing it would be stable plaque is bad, unstable plaque is really bad. To say calcification of atherosclerotic plaques is a good thing would be to...

For those of us that were taught that we can only assimilate a certain amount of protein in a sitting, a cool study has come out challenging this. This only addresses post training intake. We've been told that anything over (insert number) 50 grams of protein just gets oxidized or converted to...

LMAO, you are incredible. Given I was paraphrasing from memory I think I did damn good. I only went back and grabbed your post when you said I lied. Given what we were debating in that previous thread, I would say I was accurate. But okay, you don't like my paraphrasing. Let's use your version...

I have no interest in debating you EyeBRollin, as the last time we had this discussion you produced very little research. You were able to regurgitate some science but you showed very little understanding. The one study you cited was debunked several times by the researchers peers. Anytime you...

Healthy user bias is a common tactic used by activist "researchers." Ancel Keys gets proven wrong time and again. Let's not forget that the sugar lobby paid Harvard scientist to rig their findings to show saturated fat as the main driver of heart disease instead of sugar. Even in the 70's actual...

I think most of the regulars know my position on red meat as I've had some heated debates on here. I try to keep an open mind and reserve the right to change my mind if new evidence presents itself. For those that don't know, I'm animal based and stay on the low side of carbs 80% of the time. (I...

I recently found an old spiral log book from 2004. It was a little depressing at first as I looked at the workouts and amount of weight I was lifting. If anyone is familiar with the book Super Squat's (https://www.amazon.com/Super-Squats-Pounds-Muscle-Weeks/dp/0926888005) you'll understand the...

You guys could be more in agreement than you think. The thing with studies is that researchers have to do their best to get published and garner headlines. This may help them get more notoriety among their peers and funding for future research. One way they do this is presenting results using...

NP! Katch McArdle. But instead of height I inputted bf%. Then I added another variable which I neglected to mention. Moderate activity. The study I used was young men moderately active...
