2017-2018 Orders Part 4: 12 Scoops of Protein, Manlets and Sprinkled Doughnuts

I was donor recipient last week for a garcilus tendon used for the reconstruction of my elbow. Interestingly enough, they provide the family name of the donor and the option of writing a thank you letter to the family of the deceased. At first I thought this was a nice idea but now I am thinking, will it bring back memories of their lost one.... Thoughts?

I'm thinking that, most likely, the deceased hasn't been deceased for long enough to be out of constant conscious thought anyway, so something a bit positive would likely be worthwhile

Hard to say as everyone would react differently to something like this, but personally, I think it's a nice idea. If I were part of the family, I'd like to hear that someone out there is appreciative of what my loved one has offered in their passing.

Me too. No need for me to overthink this.

I wouldn't. While a very nice thought, it's kind of a "hey, thank god your son/husband/whatever was a donor. If he were alive I'd be thanking him, but because he died I'm thanking you."

I'd let it be tbh. If it was like a life saving thing(new heart, lung, major organ), I think waiting a little while post surgery to make sure you're fully healthy and then sending a thank you letter on what a life changing difference it made would be kind of cool.

I think it's always good to hand write a letter showing appreciation for anything. Wouldn't even think twice about it, would myself write a letter. If it were reversed I would be glad to know that my loved ones passing was bringing life to someone else and that they cared enough to write me about the impact my loved one continues to make in the world.

Hopped on the Re1gn BOGO last week and it is the truth. Decided to give Pandora's Potion a try, and it's a pretty solid peach flavor. Was concerned after having Conquer Unleashed in the past, but it is tasty. Best preworkout I've used in a while.

i wouldn't mind - i choose to be an organ donor and it's listed on my driver license so i'm sure if i were in a situation where my wife died, and her eyes or whatever can be used to help someone, knowing that she helped even in death wouldn't hurt

those who choose to be organ donors choose to do so because they want to help

I agree with Rob, a hand written note would probably be appreciative.

Ghost protein is BOGO 50% off direct

[Aspiringathlete]

dafuq is this? snickerdoodle 5th?

Haha - I'm way more of a chocolate/mint/PB fan than I am of snickerdoodle/cinnamon things! Beside cinnabon.... Still really like snickerdoodle!

[DASBUNKER]

The new pump supp from performix looks legit... way too pricey tho.

Hefty Cit and vaso6/Drive.

[danielmoo]

Ghost whey BOGO might even be cheaper than you think..

[VO2Maxima]

Agree with everyone else who said to send a letter. No matter how long it's been, it's not like you're reminding them of a loved one that they've forgotten. If it brings up memories, it'll probably be a good thing. I would think it's a nice gesture that would be appreciated, and if it were me, I'd be happy that my loved one is still impacting people positively even in death.

The new flavors should be a large step up from what we've done with flavoring in the past. We also reworked the OG Re1gn flavors after we realized how good Pandora's Potion and Fairy's Kiss are.

Imo don't drop a lot on joint supplements. You're taking OT which has a joint complex. The krill oil will help and add in curcumin 400mg AM and PM. You won't have joint issues after a couple weeks with that. Not to mention curcumin is amazing for general health.

Curcumin has been a godsend for me... almost stupid not to use it given all the benefits

Jarrow is legit. All of their products are third party tested. I use a few of their products.

Yup that’s the one that I use. Also KSM-66, Rhodiola Rosea, NAC and C95.

Also use C95 and KSM-66 from them. NOW for Rhodiola

#1 & #2 are BLATANTLY false. I can get more in depth but you should work out when your Test/Cortisol ratio is the highest (not AM as cortisol is highest in the AM).

Was this year's PES WCM different than last years' batch? I know that one of the batches was a change in flavor profile but curious if it changed again?

It changed last year when they made the white chocolate stronger and toned down the mint. The tub I had from this years batch tasted the exact same.

I had finished my last tub from last year as the insider started. So I got to have them back to back.

Hey

Hi.

[SOH11]

what do you plan on buying?

Rogue is starting to be the most recognized and sought after brands that is more affordable but there are definitely great options

i suggest visiting the equipment forum there and posting your planned purchase as the regular theres are helpful in critiquing your purchase.

another thing is that if you can wait to buy... black friday is where almost all the deals can be had for less

Ya I've been browsing through the equipment section to get a good idea. Cancelled out a few racks just based on some advice in there. I know I need:

- Rack
- Olympic Bar
- 600 lbs worth of plates
- Glute Ham (can't live without this, I do multiple things on these)
- Olympic DB handles
- Landmine

If you do go the home gym route, buy nice the first time, or you'll end up buying twice. I cheaped out on my rack last summer, and I've regretted it ever since.

EDIT: dialob with solid advice right above me.

Last thing I want is for my rack to collapse on me...and then be stuck, alone, in my basement!

I don't know maybe I am just too loose with money now or something but I don't see 2k for a good home gym setup too expensive. I spent near 6k for my home theater room setup. 3k just for the television.

Just had the oatmeal raisin quest cookie and was pretty good and very true to the name in taste and texture but still has that after taste. It's like a dry film that sticks to the tongue and throat that is a little bitter.

Actually, I did just make my first home gym purchase. A local gym bought new treadmills and were selling their Precor 956i treadmills. I know I wanted a treadmill that went up to 13 mph for my HIIT intervals (when the weather sucks outside), so I snagged one. After UHaul rental fees, it cost me around $1000 total.

Agree. I'd write the letter. Sure, it's a super tough situation for them as the lost a loved one, but putting myself in their shoes, it would give me a tiny bit of peace hearing that someone else is able to enjoy a better quality of life thanks to the generosity of a loved one.

Yes, as misctake stated.

Push 3 yesterday in my rotation. After all the talk of floor presses a week or two ago, I tried them yesterday and really liked them. Very good contraction at the middle-top of the exercise. Will take time to get fully used to it. Good session though.


Cracked open ON's Oats and Whey Blueberry Muffin and I liked it. It by no means competes with Ghost but it has a very good and smooth blueberry flavor. Not sweet and maybe a little lacking on flavor depth but it was overall good. And had pieces of what looked like real blueberry in it. One of the rare occasions you see my praise ON.

Hey ... I was just trying to toss up some reading information for my Early Morning Workout Crew, that's all.
