I got the vanilla protein because the chocolate ones seem to have some added sugar.

It's edible if I drown it in flax seed milk

I am up to 3 x 5 @ 115 on bench getting back into Starting Strength, and accidentally loaded up to 125 for my second to last warmup set. Did two reps going "this is really heavy for a warmup" before I realized that I had screwed up.

For yogurt I love this skyr stuff that's shown up lately. Its icelandic yogurt really similar to greek yogurt, maybe a little thicker. But it's got a lot more protein and less sugar than most, usually around 15g / 8g.

:yeah: skyr is good but to my taste it's a little...... thick and "complex." but i've enjoyed it used as an ingredient

just shoved some s. colbert's americone dream in my mouf for lunch-dessert because i don't need to be watching my sugar intake -- or more accurately, i do, but in the other direction

come and get some, libs

Had trouble falling asleep the other night because my heart was 90-something while lying down. Too tired so I just laid there until it gradually went down over the next 45 minutes. I blame deadlifts, they have weird lingering effects on my CNS

Not that bad anymore. 12 oz generic coffee in the morning (~200mg). 8-16 oz Pepsi Max (<100mg) before my workout.

If it happens again I'll cut it out, but I've been checked out by doctors before for heart problems after having a panic attack and fainting 10 minutes after deadlifting. Dunno

pain is just the capacity for good decisions leaving your body

on that note do i wait for my body to recover from mystery illness or do i go to the gym anyway because i do not want to have gone a month without serious exercise palace going (the other day i went and felt like garbage afterwards -- so, obviously, it'd be a good idea to try again :downs:)

Wait to recover fully. Alternatively, do fun at-home bodyweight exercises like core work.

any increase in heart rate causes chest pain so it's not like mystery flu symptoms or w/e

doctor says :shrug: says my heart sounds just fine, my breathing sounds just fine (lmao when will :350: catch up to me), my resting fidgeting heart rate was 69 on a few hours' sleep and 2 cups of coffee, bp/O2 all within the "good" range, and that there is generally no indication of cardiac/respiratory issue

in that there's inverse relationship between increasing age and homeostasis (since gains is a stress response, one would assume) can't imagine the effect is too drastic as to be much of a hindrance for your 30 yo average joe tho.
