[JohnButz]

Sorry to hear about your Mother in law Charlie. My condolences.

[charlievanriper]

Been awhile but thought I would stop in... Thank you John it's been a hard time lately, difficult to post or be on unsocial media. Been tuff enough to keep my ig and ******** up to date. Glad to see your still keeping active here..

Thanks Charlie. Dropping the anti-social platforms has been an awesome, mostly positive experience. I was finding it annoying with half of it being a debate (heated) on virtually any subject imaginable, the other half being phony "influencers."
I would say 99% of it is bots anymore. I'll may return in 6 months, maybe, but I am going to screen my "friends" with a fine-toothed comb. No more voyeurs. If they don't engage, they are gone.

[LWW]

Charlie,

I'm watching, I don't have accounts cause I don't post any videos, I don't even have a ********, but I'm watching. Great stuff, keep it up!

Just watched the vids. Great job all the way around! Still killing it after all these years.

[JohnButz]

Great article! I seem to get times when I'm eating peanut butter daily, and then other times in which I may go a year without. I always have loved it though. I remember when I first became serious about tracking calories/nutrition and realized just how small 2 TBSP of peanut butter actually was. LOL

Are you still doing fish oil?

I've been on liquid cod liver oil for years and try to convince anyone that will listen of the great benefits.

I haven't used any supps, just the occasional creatine, maybe a few months out of a year, protein powder & BCAA's

I have been experimenting with a cocktail of Ginko, Garlic, Ginger root, Ginseng, Vitamin C, D, that I'm hoping to at some point package together in the form of a all in one for men (possibly in an edible bar form)----After I get this restaurant hopping for a year, I have some plans for a supplement company start-up.

[charlievanriper]

Thx John, glad you found it interesting So few understand the true benefits of PB ..
Yep still using fish oil, John,
I still have my go to supps
Love the idea, the cocktail is interesting.

[JohnButz]

Thanks Bro!

I'm working hard on a master plan. I'd love to have you with me.

This ship we call "health & fitness" needs righted.

Too many injectors, fakes, phonies, druggies, bad actors, lazy %^&'s, millennial know it all's, 20 year old gurus, promo code idiots, social media queens, 300# fat-asses that brag about "heavy deadlifts" etc. I could go on, and most likely will.

Some jerk^&* in the mid-west actually refers to himself as "The a%s architect." What a great legacy this fool is leaving to his heirs. Then again, there probably isn't any...... My grandfather was a WW2 fighter pilot. Enough said.

When I weighed 198#, there wasn't any lift that I had to chalk up for. At 145-7, the reality is what it is, but I do have abs New years, through Christmas. Kind of the idea, along with, health, stamina, endurance, strength, virility, vitality.


What the %^& happened to bodybuilding what was once called "The Physical Culture?"

[charlievanriper]

John I totally agree and this is why I block so many idiots lol. You know I am game as long as were on the same track & I am pretty sure we are... Well that guestion my brother is the ultimate frustration the ultimate guestion WTF happened????? I cant narrow it to one thing bro, Zyss, social media, The Misc, greed, to many little federations, the watering down of standards allowing for 20 yr old pros lll so many ****ing breakdowns since the 70s early 80s.

[LWW]

Charlie,

PB along with eggs are the best!!! Both are as good as beef and meat.

[JohnButz]

Have a great week of training Bro! I got lower body today (Sunday.) I'll hit some squats, farmers, & SLDL's. Maybe a run before work. It's starting to get colder here.

[charlievanriper]

Train hard John Tomorrow is my restart bro, birthday hike, birthday workout then birthday brunch

[JohnButz]

Train hard John Tomorrow is my restart bro, birthday hike, birthday workout then birthday brunch
