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

[Partyrocking]

Sorry about your Dad. I hope your cousin's surgery went well.

Looks like I get to go to Reston, VA sometime next week for a scope meeting about a job we just bid. Loving that I'm going to get to do this kind of stuff every once and awhile at this job. That's about as exciting as things are going to get for me so I feel you Ben

[BenBlue]

Haha or should I just deadlift every day and ignore all other lifts? :P

Okay yeah that makes sense. 5/3/1 is typically not conjugated, but I don't see why it couldn't be programmed that way. I would think the best way to do it would be to, like you said, do a couple weeks of conventional, but do much more sumo since that's my comp pull. Something like a 2 week to every 6 weeks or something along those lines.

i must be anomaly bc I can handle a ****load of deadlift volume. More than I can handle on bench. I've been running conventional and sumo in the same session every Sunday for a long time now. I don't know when I'll finally get around to competing, but when I do I will be pulling sumo. Still, I've been running my 5/3/1 rep scheme conventional with a joker set, and immediately after I run a sumo session. I do the sumo session based on RPE rather than percentages, but typically end up pulling heavier weights than I pulled conventional. I've found the crossover from conventional to sumo to be strong.

For anyone who might be interested in Quake by Scivation: there's some stupid good deals for it on the river.

Nice deal, I do like Quake but it's a 2 scooper for me so deal gets a hit from that.

$30 for the 40 scooper isn't too bad even if you double scoop it.

[gbullock32]

$1.50 per serving, not bad, but some other ones go BOGO often enough that it makes them a better deal. Though free shipping does sweeten it a bit.

So for my hippie post of the day, I’ll mention I have been eating a lot of organic air chilled chicken. My Harris Teeter sells it and since people don’t buy it that often, they reduce it the day before expiration for half off. Makes it the same price as regular chicken. It tastes different than regular chicken mainly how tender it is. 3.5 pounds of thighs were $6.50 versus 12. Yes please.

Will always take cheaper prices on meats as long as you aren't sacrificing quality. I stepped my game up to grass fed beef and the taste of it is so much better than the beef I was buying before. Practically the same price, so why wouldn't I make the change.

[Misctake7]

So, ordered Sparta Nutrition Blueberry Muffin and Loopy Fruits. Ordered the new Kraken and CogniKeto. The CogniKeto formula is insane.



Sorry to hear Will! Everyone here and others close to you are here to talk if you ever need it man.

Appreciate it!
For sure keep us in the loop oh Sparta protein! I'm worried it will be thin and maybe lack flavor depth being a straight Whey.

[AfroPope]

**** man, here I am with my boring ass sales job. I can see myself going for a career change at some point.

Getting out of sales was the best thing I ever did. Guys at my agency who were making STUPID money all said I had a natural aptitude for it but I just couldn't get it to click the way it did for them.

[Misctake7]

<3 !!
Depends on what liquid you mix it with.
I mix mine with unsweetened cashew milk, and it tastes less like fruity pebbles and more like leftover cereal milk

Cashew milk err time!

Aware me?

Sales isn't for everyone. There are aspects of it that I enjoy, and I do have the tenacity for it, but I don't enjoy it the way the guys around me do. I just happen to be pretty good at it, and any change I've considered had me taking a considerable pay cut....so feel kind of trapped in it. Luckily the last few companies I've worked for have been great. Good teams and good company culture. I can't do the big enterprise corporation sales as I don't get along with the corporate life, but working for small, profitable start ups with owners who come from a sales background has been good. When you produce, you're a valued member of the team who get's taken care of and is given freedom. Still, sales is sales and it's not something I'm passionate about.

Man, looking for a good non exotic is tough these days: everything has DMHA or sucks ass or is overpriced in the CA stores.

Yeah I have been eating grass fed for a while and other types of meat like bison, elk, deer etc. Tastes amazing and I like the gamey fresh taste.

I reviewed the new Magnum Pwo. Better than I expected

On the river, I researched a bit and found a 2 container combo (40 scoop = 80 total) for 52.99 & free ship.

[shiftmx6]

I think I'm going to grab the new BB.com Chocolate Whey today. It seems to be getting some killer feedback. Also going to grab a much needed joint product.

formula doesn't look bad at all. I'll check your review.

Have heard great things....$77.36 in the CA store for 25 servings....

Cousin had surgery today and he may have cancer. Dad is in such rough shape, it doesn't look like he will make it any longer than a week or two. Went through the same with my ex's grandma this time last year and he is in the same shape she was in her last couple days.

Had to sit down and have a talk about life after dad, taking care of funeral and burial arrangements, and bills and business plans. Dad owns rental properties, so lots of discussion with mom and dad's recommendation of what we should do moving forward.

I didn't want to mention that earlier. I don't like making those sad posts ITT. Like to try and keep it pretty positive and upbeat.

Sorry for all you’re going through right now but you will see better days brother!! That’s a guarantee

Ive been eyeing RSP Aminofocus B2G1 deal.
Seems like a good formula at 2 servings (4 sccops). Anyone tried it?

I'm a "sales guy" but my industry is a little bit unique. We don't hard sell, we do quite a bit more consulting and the actual selling happens at a finalist presentation in the board room. When you balance the flexibility in schedule and the money... I don't envision myself doing anything else for quite some time.

That sounds great. Honestly, it takes a very niche product/service/industry for a "hard sell" to work at all these days. Consultative is the way to succeed in 90% of the sales businesses out there imo. I'm in the financial software industry, which is a massive industry for sales, and a hard sell approach would result in instant failure. It's all about building value by addressing unique business cases and solving problems.

I could sell the absolute hell out of something I was passionate about or thought was interesting. I could sell the hell out of cars, guitars, or a few other things. Sadly, commission-only pay structures lead to long hours, burnout, and incredibly toxic work environments and I'm just not about that life. I got along with other agents when I was selling insurance, but I didn't really give a **** about insurance in a way that I could explain to folks, especially in the demographic I was largely working with. Lots of stuff I would have done differently if I had to go back into that business.

I'm increasingly unimpressed with "exotic" stims. I mostly just jump between Pre-Kaged, Nutrabio Pre, and Prolific depending on the day. I've still got a few tubs of OG Kraken and SP250 just in case, but I won't be sore over losing them the way I was over OG Jack3d. I've got a tub of PreCre coming from a contest on another forum that I'm going to be logging, too.

Will do. The protein came in, but the damn river sent me the wrong flavor!! So waiting to open it until they say, just keep it, we will send the correct flavor.
