Gotta make that money man its still the same now

yeah, that's a little bullshit but honestly I've decided as long as I'm making any kind of gains I'm happy, even if they are slow as crap. Speaking of I feel pretty confident I'll finally be hitting my 2 pl8 bench sometimes by the end of this AtS cycle. I've been hitting 195x1 as an overwarm single and it's moving pretty fast. Max is probably around 215-220 atm if I had to guess and I haven't even gotten to the strength phase of the program.

e; also in case anyone missed the joke 100mg of test definitely isn't any kind of blast, it's just my legit TRT amount to get me to baseline.

Still blows my mind that your deadlift is pretty strong but your squat and bench are.. not.

Leverages I guess. Although the squat thing is mostly because I've been working around a lot of minor injuries. Being on your feet on a concrete floor for 60 hours a week is worse than sitting imo.

also I don't consider my deadlift strong, but thanks that takes the sting out of my squat issues a little. And is my bench really that far behind my deadlift? I thought the "standard" as much as you can try to standardize it, was 1/2/3/4? I'll probably hit 4 plate dead and 2 plate bench close to the same time. Already got my 1 plate OHP so really that just leaves the squat that's lagging.

Why do people want to get so swole. You know that it requires maintenance once you've achieved whatever bigness you wanted right. Just do a couple hours of cardio a week and you'll live a long time.

Guys, get a sous vide cooker immediately. It'll transform your chicken breasts from barely edible trash to delicious juicy meat you might actually want to eat. And it's still easier to cook than anything short of nuking it directly in the microwave and you can easily time it to be ready whenever you need it.

Like $50-100 on the lower end. The immersion circulation types, which is most of them, can be used in any pot you have and I managed to cook like 6 breasts in a 5l Ikea pot. If you have the space (which I did not) and will be using it very often, a water bath might be better. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sous+vide There's a thread in GWS for this stuff if you want more information.

The cool thing though is that you can also use it for fancy dinners to impress your dates gymbros with perfectly cooked steaks or shrimp and so on.

I just did that, got this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UKPBXM4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Part of why my diet still sucks is I hate cooking poo poo and trying to micromanage it just right. This seems almost like cheating if it's really simple as throw food in bag.

e: I'm a fan of pork tenderloins too, I wonder how they'd turn out. I think they are small enough to fit into a bag/pots that I have. Man I just realized the whole food in the bag thing would make it super easy to marinade/season as well. Just prep your bags with all that and let them sit overnight then throw them in.

Jesus gently caress definitely don't wet brine anything you're going to put in a sous vide. It'll turn into soup!

The point with cooking SV is that it'll stay moist without any of your electrolytic fuckery beforehand.

I don't wet brine anything and my suggestion was an alternative to fancy machinery.

Sous vide devices aren't fancy. They bolt on dumb poo poo like wifi to increase their margins, but they just keep water hot. I use my all the time as a cook and forget solution to cooking and it's paid for itself.

I had 190 T and the doc started me on 100mg week test cyp. That was the starting dose tho, I should have my recent bloods in in a day or so. I can tell you this, the thread is gonna tell you to do your own labwork. You can't really guess with this poo poo, you have to balance test and estradiol and probably other poo poo as well. I'm sure they'll clear you up on it in there. If you are 50 and lethargic you really might have low T, why not go to the doc? No insurance?
