None of those products are inexpensive but the formulas are impressive. I wish I weren't such a cheap bastard.

Back in May I posted up a few pages back about me having some Golfers Elbow in my right arm and
I also posted a list of joint and tendon supplements that I take daily. I know how I got the Golfers
Elbow and I had taken my usual 2 week break from weight training which I do usually after training
anywhere from 5-6 months straight usually 5-6 days a week. When I got back to training I made a slight
mistake and I usually add the ab wheel in one of my 4 ab workouts a week. The first week I did 3 sets
of 15 reps which was perfect but the next week I jumped right into my usual 3 sets of 30reps which I
shouldn't have done and I should have eased my way back into the 3 sets of 30 gradually each week
such as doing 3x 20, 3x 25, and finally in my 4th week 3x 30 reps. At least now I know my mistake and
I WON'T do that again in the future.
I always like to give feedback whether good or bad on supplements that I try so first off I would like to
THANK! forum member eatyourspinich for looking at the list of supplements that I posted and seeing that
I wasn't using Black Seed Oil and recommending it to me. He also mentioned to make sure I found a brand
with a good Thymoquinone percentage which is the active ingredient that helps for the reasons that people
take such as improving skin, hair, and inflammation. I was taking it for inflammation and since I had been on
Cissus for a straight 6 months I figured I would take a month break from it while using the Black Seed Oil.
I did some research and I looked at many different brands and read a lot of feedback and I decided to go
with Maju Superfoods. I dosed 2 caps a day for the first 2 weeks one with breakfast and one with dinner
but after two days I switched the dinner dose to lunch because I felt like it slightly keep my from falling
a sleep. There are NO stimulants in Black Seed Oil but others tend to say you feel slightly more alert when
you take a dose and that's what I was probably feeling when I went to bed more alert where I should have
felt more like wanting to sleep. Not everyone is going to feel this and actually many say they sleep better
when they dose it at night so like I always say supplements effect everyone differently.
During the first 2 weeks I ONLY did PT movements to help with the Golfers Elbow and I had already been
off from lifting 3 weeks prior and just did PT work. After day 14 I didn't really feel much of the effects yet
from the BSO so I decided to poke a small hole in one of the caps and rub the oil onto the spot on my elbow
where I felt the discomfort and I did that and continued with my other 2 caps a day. By day 19 I definitely
felt a difference in my elbow and the way I could tell was when I lathered my hands with soap and rub them
back in forth. When I first injured my elbow the movement of my hands rubbing back in forth with soap I
could feel the pain :( so I knew this would be the way to test when my elbow was on the mend by the motion
of my hands moving back and forth when I was washing and of course I was washing them A LOT during this
Covid19 :)
Exactly 3 weeks after starting the BSO I'm ecstatic to say I started weight training lightly and carefully
selecting movements that didn't irritate the elbow. I feel like resuming training has helped put more
blood flow into the elbow and along with the BSO it's got my elbow now at 5 weeks feeling at 90% so
YES the BSO has helped and I'm glad I went with this brand cause they actually reached out to me
after my purchase and THANKED me for choosing their brand and they wanted to know what was my
intent for using BSO. I explained my elbow issue and they recommended the best way to dose it along
with a recommendation of rubbing some of the oil from the caps onto my elbow which I felt did make a
difference when I did. Overall if your looking for something to add to your already regiment of joint and
tendon supplements I would recommend Maju Superfood Black Seed Oil. I'm a HUGE fan of Cissus and
SNS is the brand I recommend and consistently use so that is a joint/tendon supplement I always
recommend to have in your arsenal but if you wanna add something else then this brand of BSO is the
one I would try out. I'm on my 2nd jar and hopefully when I finish it my elbow will feel 100% and I might
save BSO as a inflammation weapon to use when I need a break from Cissus.
Once again HUGE thanks to eatyourspinich for the recommendation and I'm someone who LOVES training
so when an injury sidelines me I'm more than happy and appreciative to find a natural supplement that
can help me get back to doing what I LOVE!:D
I'm not a big fan of taking traditional NSAIDs unless seriously needed, while YMMV based on age, injury history, training routine etc. I've found that regular use of BSO has pretty much eliminated using them

I'm not a fan of taking NSAID's either so that's why anything natural that can help is the way I like
to go.
First day back at the gym was great. Arms are sore as fuk, but its that good pain
Celedrin and Cissus are great add-ons to a standard joint supp for those looking for something extra.
I have heard hit or miss things with collagen, worth looking into.
Solgar No 7 is pretty good for a surge, wouldn't run it regularly
DMSO is amazing for soft tissue, of course, you could always go the peptide route.

Oh ****, I don't know about anyone else in here, but at this point I have zero concern for myself. My only concern is for my parents. There's a clear demographic this effects badly, and most of us don't fall into it. I'd be at the gym tomorrow if it opened up.

Kind of sucks cause they were one of my favorite companies. Seb was always transparent with stuff and all of a sudden the guy vanishes.

Ours is open via appt... I go 530-630am when it first opens... only 4-5 of us. No mask but are given a towel and spray to use after each equipment use
My gym has been open since June 1st. No limits. Staff wears masks and it's recommended masks are worn when arriving and leaving. They spread out the cardio machines more but the weight area is the same. I at least see people cleaning equipment more often than they did before.
Quarantine started right at the end of my bulk. I did have a buddies place with very basic stuff but I chose to rest more and pull back on calories. Made peace with the fact I'd lose muscle and strength and ended up losing about 20lbs. In the first month back I gained a good amount of size back and my strength is almost fully back. I think I need 2-3 more weeks and it will be right at the point it was when quarantine started.
I have zero fear of the virus but I ideally would prefer not getting my mom sick when I see her.

Coming for the first time in a while for a wedding on the 24th. Saddle up.
BB.com customer care really are the best. I still wish BB.com had a better selection, but their CC has always been stellar. I ordered OL Levels PWO and Rising Labs Overkill V2. Got my package and Levels was there but they sent me a pump product instead of Overkill. I get to keep it and got a credit covering product and shipping to reorder Overkill, which I really like the formula of. Will let you guys know how it performs and what I think of this new Olympus Labs pwo.
They did get me on the tax, something like $5, but I figure if I get to keep the pump product, I won't give them **** over tax. I'd have paid an extra $5 on the initial order for the product if it was an option, so I won't split hairs.

[QUOTE=TheFugitive;1610043741]I'm so fuk'n sick of these masks[/QUOTE]Lol, mandatory testing at work tomorrow and Friday, all staff tested. I'm off, unless I get overtime, so I don't get tested. Plenty of people wont be for the same reason.
Can't wait for us to suddenly have a massive 'outbreak', though I guess the word is that if you have no symptoms they will still make you come to work even if you're positive.

You gotta let me know if they’re worth it!!
My partner and I went and got tested at a site where the city was holding free testing. We were curious more than anything but didn’t show symptoms. Talked to the director beforehand to make sure we weren’t taking tests that were hard to come by and she laughed...said they have an over-abundance now and are doing an absurd amount each day.
100% uncomfortable, do not want again. Swab up the nose is no bueno
Can any of you give any feedback on candy cane Syntha 6? It’s 50% off in the store and I’m very tempted but not if it’s horrible.
Scrap that, shipping is eye-wateringly expensive.
You almost had my money bb.com, you almost had me.

That way of testing doesn't sound good :( I'd rather get poked with a needle and give a blood
sample and I hate needles but sticking something up my nose sounds crazy uncomfortable.
Battle Bars, Strawberry

Battle Bars are flavorful, soft and chewy, but are they too chewy. Most of these style bars are have a crispy center that tends to shatter in your mouth and leaves you wondering, do i really like this...
My thoughts: Definitely worth trying, its a quick protein fix, and they actually taste pretty good
Flavor: 8.5
Texture: 8.0

2020 is going down in history as a complete blunder of leadership imo....for more reasons than one. But this mandatory mask thing when the CDC is ready to declare the epidemic over, and they estimate the true death rate at something like 0.26%....it's a bit ridiculous.
In any case, I just got a bandanna and RDR2 that ****.

Yep, the CDC only recommend them if you're contagious, but people here are still wearing them while driving in their cars. Bring on 2021
On the annoyance scale, wearing a mask in public is like a 1. Maybe a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.
What's the big fkn deal?

We are proving that, as a society, we are wholly and completely incapable of handling any kind of perceived inconvenience and we now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if and when we hit an actual calamity or adversity, like 85% of the population won't be able to handle it and it will quickly be mad max.
In other words, most people are raging pussies incapable of handling, well, anything
Well, then there are the selfish asholes and the 4th grade education scientific illiterates who think medicine doesn't work things like taking down polio and antiobiotics working are just a conspiracy trick like convincing us the earth is a sphere

It's not a big deal from a convenience standpoint. I have no problem doing my part and wearing a mask.
But don't kid yourself into thinking this pandemic hasn't been completely politicized. That's my issue. The lying and fear mongering, the constant back tracking and shifting of the goal post. There's a matter of precedence and a matter of principle to consider here imo. If i felt a mask was 100% necessary and the responses we've seen from our governments were 100% necessary, I'd have no problem adhering to every rule. Even so, I'm not protesting the masks, just pointing out the cluster **** of a response we've seen to this virus.
We have a tracker in our intranet for the prison, tells us all cases (inmate and staff) at all prisons. Can't wait to see how it looks in a few days when all the covid test results are in. We did them Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and had over 70% of staff test.
Currently we had less than 10 known cases, all staff.
Should have all the results in by the 20th or so. Already been told that even if we test positive we still need to come to work, unless we have symptoms.

Yes, it's been politicized in that not wearing a mask is seen as a political statement. It says "I am a brainwashed sheep"
Yes, it's been a cluster. Initially the government, knowing how valuable masks were, lied to everybody and said they weren't helpful and even said they might hurt...meanwhile gov was buying them all up...then they come out and say what ever intelligent person and almost everybody in most other countries already knew, which is...[I]masks help[/I] reduce the spread of a contagious respiratory virus. [I]Imagine that![/I]
Lying about it initially (they knew better, you could tell in the wording they used as I and others called from the very start in March) really hurt them and Trump being a complete fuktard about refusing to wear one (while having everybody around him tested constantly when no tests were available to regular people but politicians and rich or famous or athlete could get all they wanted of course) also hurt
People would literally rather a business be completely closed, than go to it and wear a mask. Absolutely pants on head retarded, people are
For the record, in the last month I've been in 5 different states and observed a lot of people.
I believe there is a strong correlation between a person's intelligence and whether or not they wear a mask. Also, their level of fatness. The obese fatass mother ****ers who can't take a flight of stairs with 150 lb 10 year old kids are the most likely to be without a mask right next to a sidewalk or walkway just hanging out.

The lies about the mask is the tip of the iceberg. And no, I don't think the people protesting masks would rather a business be closed all together. I think they are sick of being lied to and sick of being scared into submission. Edit: And ya, I think there are a bunch of idiots among them as well, who even if it was 100% certain that a mask was necessary, they'd still complain about it.
In any case, I'll wear a mask without complaining until this whole thing blows over, assuming it does. But do I think it's necessary? That's another story.
[QUOTE=BenBlue;1610487281]The lies about the mask is the tip of the iceberg. And no, I don't think the people protesting masks would rather a business be closed all together.[/quote]
They would. Or they are even more dumb than I can imagine.
People choose to refuse masks, think it's great fun to wear the mask on their chin while going to the store excessively, go out and have parties, etc, knowing (or should know) full well this is going to lead to more cases and result in businesses being closed. Wear a mask, distance, wash your hands, keep cases from flying up, keep things open. Nope. That's not a good option. Gotta go full anti vax anti mask and get stuff closed down. It's better to be closed than to be able to go but have a mask required.

lol so much to tackle that I'm not even going to bother cause you clearly feel a way about this whole thing, and I'm sure we'd both rather avoid a drawn out "discussion" on a topic we've probably both beaten to death with others to begin with.
Our middle ground is the agreement that the public should follow minimally invasive protocol to get our economies open quicker. A mask indoors is minimally invasive. That, we can agree on.

Well, studies and common sense indicates that outdoors isn't even close to the problem that indoors can be in terms of spread. But yes, I agree that the protests we're a problem, and the government/media response from the left is another example of the hypocritical BS that's fueling the fire from those opposed to lockdown and preventative measures. I even saw articles trying to claim that the sudden spike in cases across the US had "nothing to do with the protests"....please.
