As a conservative route I would recommend body tempering above the knee and forearms as well as biceps and triceps on the afflicted side. Look up Donnie Thompson on IG, he shows you how to do it for free in his videos. What I also do is scraping with a graston tool. I had debilitating pain in...

I don't have a full blown herniated disc but I had/have a protrusion at L3. What helped me were high volume reverse hypers at 70% 1rm squat, 4x20-25 every 2 days in combination with GHR 4xF twice a week. And doing standing abs for weight (5x10-12) and once for volume (5x20-25) twice a week.

Skyr is a game changer for me. As I don't cook like typical bodybuilder, I need to improvise because I don't use cream and other too fatty condiments. So I just substitute heavy cream and anything like that with Skyr. Adds protein while keeping fat low, saved my deficit multiple times during my...

1. Starting Stats Age: 34 Height: 172 cm Current bodyweight: 89.5 kg Goal bodyweight end of cut: 87,5kg Starting bodyweight for the cut: around 101 kg. Started cutting in May, so 4 months ago. Was on TRT there so nothing important happened. The main goal right now is to finish the cut...

I've seen that most of this forum is centered around bodybuilding, so here comes the Powerlifting thread. Share and discuss training plans, methods (conjugate, block periodization, 5/3/1 etc ), meet preps and whatever comes to mind. I've been powerlifting for 10 years now, hit my first elite...

I use a Garmin Fenix 5, before I used an Instinct Tactical due to work. The Fenix is far more accurate in terms of heart rate and steps, but lacks the light shielding, but that's not important if you don't need it. The sports functions of the Fenix are also quite good, and I combine it with a...

I do LISS in the evening after lifting, usually around 35 to 60min on a treadmill I have at home. Amazon has some good cheap ones for €200 and it's worth it It didn't keep me from totalling significant numbers on meets and improved my work capacity in strength training quite a lot.

Red yeast rice is pretty much a natural statin. Taking too much can produce statin like sides, like muscle aches and weakness. Been there because I thought more is better, and it didn't help my training. Better to stay at the recommended dose.

What helped me was "fillers" like bell pepper, potato for carbs and not being afraid of well seasoning the food. And drink plenty of water. Not keeping diet unfriendly food around also helps as noone eats 500g of Quark in the middle of the night without flavoring.

I can recommend the body tempering method by Donnie Thompson. It's pretty much free as we all have access to gyms, weights and plates. Saved my ass countless times in over a decade of powerlifting

I have now placed 17 orders with Driada over several years and have used a wide range of their products, including Testosterone Enanthate, Oxymetholone, Oxandrolone, Deca, T3, and T4, everything that's relevant to my powerlifting preps and to my medical issues. Payment was uncomplicated and...
