if I want to walk into a vitamins and supplements store and walk out with a tub full of powder that will make me high as gently caress, what's the best thing to purchase?

Also for those asking about stuff for energy at the gym, have you considered cocaine?

I seriously knew a guy who would do coke while at the gym. It was one of those 24 hour gyms that don't have staff and he would just be doing bumps and reps for an hour or two every day. He was jacked so I guess it worked.

I just experienced post thanksgiving gains today due to the large amount of ham, salami and brisket yesterday. Going 8 reps on the last set of deadlifts when I normally can only get 5 felt so drat good.

I have no noticeable effects that are on the list of celiac (other than the stuff that goes on in my gut)

Which sucks because I can't tell if food has gluten in or not

Though I will lose 10-15 years of my life if I continue to eat gluten :~(

Celiac also makes you a hungry skeleton, you can finally be swole if you turn to our lord and savior salami only.

Reminds me of the old dude I saw a couple of days ago, he just stood 2 meters away from the hottest girl in the gym and stared for five minutes. I stare just as much but I use the mirror technique since I think that makes me less creepy.

Same level of creepy, but you are only creepy if you get caught.

My programming has cycles where I incline to above the chest, because I have an injury history in my shoulder and I get the same results as if I go all the way down, except with a decreased risk of injury .

Those dudes, probably not.

There is a difference between 2 inches above the chest and 2 inches of barbell travel

I feel when you disagree with someone in this thread about workout related items you must post a picture of yourself. The person being disagreed with does the same, and the SWOLEr man wins.

I like the Mio caffeine kind as a preworkout. I can add a squirt for ~40mg or a couple for more. Way cheaper than preworkout and I can add beet root powder and creatine to it easily.

Whats a lug alarm

At Planet Fitness if you make too much noise an alarm goes off to shame you into being quiet. Also no stringer tank tops because you might intimidate someone by being in shape and comfortable with your body.

Is 8 eggs a day too many

That many eggs is starting to push into choline depleting territory. You are probably fine, but I wouldn’t eat any more than that without finding some high choline foods to eat with them.

It could be one of those fringe theories like how vegans say milk depletes your bone calcium for all I know.

I had to go back and look, it was an old nootropic article about something else that needed extra choline and they recommended eggs as a choline rich food. I just remembered wrong.

FUUCCKKK my gym announced they are closing in June due to a rent increase on the building. This leaves me with a real Sophie's choice.

A: The local Y, which is always busy as gently caress at all times of the day.
B: The other local gym which has dumbbells going to 50lbs and a smith machine only.
C: Planet Fitness.

Guess I'm waiting around for poo poo at the Y. This makes me so sad because my current gym is a room with two cages, a couple benches, and good selection of bars and dumbbells. They have some machines, 1 treadmill, and no other cardio equipment.

I won't be that mean to the other local gym, it's heavily marketed to the middle aged women in the area.

so it's basically a planet fitness with no free pizza

No free pizza, free yoga classes with the membership.

The nearest Crossfit gym is 30+ minutes away depending on traffic, the Y is only about 10. I was wanting to move this spring, maybe I use this as a push to go somewhere that isn't poo poo.

I tried the donut cake bites and threw out half a box. I feel dumb buying anything but whey powder anymore as at least half of the things I try are disgusting and the other half are mediocre.

Lol goddamn I thought I was having trouble with squats today because I didn't have enough sleep for the past few days turns out I was using 35s instead of 25s and cranking out PRs

It's like finding a hundred in your pocket. Technically you already had it in you but still feels awesome

I did this on bench once wondering why 185 felt so difficult on sets of 5 but it was 205 the whole time. Felt real good when I realized my mistake.

I've been busy after work every day this week and finally said gently caress it and went to the gym at 6am instead of 7pm. poo poo was like paradise as both benches, both squat racks, and half of the dumbbell benches were open. As much as I hate waking up in the morning I think I'm switching.
