today my dental hygienist told me that protein shakes might be the cause of my recent aggressive tartar production because my body is sweating out all the excess calcium and such

Those 2xu tights are absolutely worth every penny btw, and they have a medical grade/classification so insurance companies will pay for them if your doctor says you need them.

Are they pretty thick? As much as I'll defend tights wearing I hate those kind like the Under Armour ones where they are super thin and reveal too much. I have a pair of CWX or whatever they are that are pretty nice but the material is kind of scratchy feeling so I haven't been wearing them lately.

Protein Shakes can mess up your teeth just like soda and coffee, but it shouldn't be the cause unless your dental hygiene sucks. As long as you brush thoroughly at least once per day, research actually shows closer to once every 36 hours, nothing should be building up, and as long as you drink some water sometime after your drat protein shake it shouldn't be a big issue.

Did they point out where the buildup was? You're likely just doing a garbage job brushing that area. For me, I struggle to hit the back of my bottom front few teeth well. It's real drat awkward and hard and takes a concentrated effort.

No, they honestly can't be compared to UA or Nike compression tights. They're not thick at all though, when I've got a sick leg pump going you can kinda see through them in the bendy areas. I think they're rated at 20-30 mmhg compression.

They're also $170 Canadian so you're getting what you pay for.

Apparently if you have REALLY tiny hands straps can make things harder because the extra grip is not enough to offset the increased diameter

I thought I needed straps because past 130 kg I'd get really spooked about the weight.

Turns out I just needed chalk and all of a sudden I'm not scared of losing my grip and I can just hoist 320 lbs off the ground without too much problem.

Youre speaking my language. Since i started doing farmers walks my grip strength has gotten insane. It used to annoy me having to wear straps for deads because i felt i was cheating but now i dont feel so bad wear straps for my volume deadlifts to a) stop tearing ny hands to shreds and b) avoid alternate grip as much as possible because i was developing an imbalance in my rhomboids. Now i do heavy harmers one week and light, longer sprints for distance the next and my grip strength is loving insane now knowing that i can hold pretty much any weight in my hands that i could deadlift if needed. Even dudes with bigger hands than me comment on my handshake and handjob prowess.

Also my gym just got a proper yoke and holy gently caress that thing owns. Now all we need is stones and a log.

lower front, and it’s only been a recent problem, as in i’ve been getting cleanings every four months now. i brush and floss very often, but scaling has been a problem there for the past four years, which is about as long as i’ve been doing regular shakes. the concept of the excess minerals or whatever leaching into my saliva was kind of a trip. i’ve always had crazy active saliva glands, too. just wondered if anyone else has got the same weird dr oz advice

Shakes have never hosed with my teeth and I drink several everyday for years now. Do you drink them slowly or chug it down like me? I usually either drink it with only enough water to keep it from being thick so it can go down with 1 chug, or if it's a 3 scooper I chug about a third each time. 3 scoop is usually my intra workout shake.

I know some people who savor the flavor of their shakes and drink it really slow. I used to be disgusted by the taste of most proteins in the beginning of my lifting career and had to develop the ability to send it right on down the pipe.

Oddly, I think that might be the case for me as well. Just kind of chalked it up to getting older or something.

Found out today that my gym has a boxing area on the third floor, and actually that we have a third floor. Looking forward to hitting the bag. Though that means I will probably end up spending 3 hours at the gym on certain days; so much for my life. Embrace the gym.

Maybe you know this already, but do not hit the bag without wraps and some idea of how to do it properly. You can break your wrist real easy.

Injured my back deadlifting about 3 months ago, gained 8lbs during my rehab and came back stronger than I've ever been. I've been pretty down thinking I might not be able to do compounds heavy anymore but getting back into it this week really turned everything around for me.

That batman quote comes to mind...

Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick our selves up.

But it's true this is my first real injury in 4ish years and I'm coming away with a lot of knowledge and a better understanding of my body so while I'm not saying I enjoyed hurting my self, I feel it was beneficial in its own right.
