G Hughes is easily the best taste to price diet sauce company. I get their orange ginger and teriyaki marinade, the goat Sweet chili dipping sauce and the thai chili wing sauce.

eh ya'll still kicking? Good to see!
Anyone know where to order Phenibut these days? And will ship to Canada? My normal vendor has no stock, surprise surprise (n o o t r o p i c s d e p o t).
Edit: Ignore my dumbass, took all of 2 minutes on Google to find another provider. Good to go.
Who's still training hard? At 37 I'm still hitting new PR's. Pretty stoked about that, and absolutely loving the home gym life.Last edited by BenBlue; 07-27-2022 at 01:09 PM.

Prob some sound advice right there. If there was any silver lining in the pandemic and gyms being shut down (before I had my home gym), it forced me to stop training heavy for an extended period, and when I came back I felt so rejuvenated. Since then, been smart about my programming, actually prioritizing deloads, and not training for strength year round. I know I'll slow down, but I'm glad I haven't slowed down yet, and I know the programming is an important part of that.

Good to see some forum activity, outside of my usual 'Workout Equipment' section which has also slowed over the years LOL.
Programming is crucial, I've made so many changes since I got serious and joined the bb.com forums back in 2008. From Bodybuilding, to Powerlifting, back to Bodybuilding and now doing my own hybrid version of 'PowerBuilding'. Have ditched things like deadlifting which caused more pain than it did good, I now view that as a high risk / low reward movement for muscle development so the programming has changed quite a bit there. Military press as well, moving those days over to more isolation movements and less heavy compound barbell work. Chest and Legs haven't changed much, although I'll say since I added a belt squat machine to the gym I've started rotating on leg day to give the old spine a break. Can see that eventually being a total replacement for heavy barbell squats some day, just not quite ready to give that one up▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #58 ▪█─────█▪

Those are all good moves I think dude. Personally, I'm still all about heavy compound movements. I don't ever want to stop deadlifting! hahahah but that's just my personal preference, and I've found regular deloads, and training blocks focused on hypertrophy (not doing strength year round) is keeping me feeling good. That said, I'm trying to be mindful of the fact that this might change for me as I continue to age, and I'm aware that I'm prob towing the line at this stage in life.
I'll see how my body does over the next few years, but I am still chasing numbers on my bench and deadlift. I hit a 505lbs squat earlier this year, which I was REALLY stoked about. My lifetime goal was 500. That said, I want to hit a 600 dead, and earlier this year I pulled 565 conventional, so a bit of ways to go there. My bench is the one where I think I set my sites too high; I'd love to hit 400 before calling it a day, but I've really struggled to see any significant jumps there. Haven't yet passed 345.
I'm rambling, but I guess I'm just hoping to git a few more PR's before stepping away from PL style lifting. Hopefully the better programming will give me a handful more years before I stop seeing progress.Squat and Deadlift

Good to see you guy's still loving to push that iron cause for me it's something I don't wanna ever
stop doing and at 54 yrs old I've definitely have had to lower the poundage cause of my rotator cuff
tear 5 yrs ago but I still try to keep the intensity up when I train. I've definitely lost some size because
of not being able to push heavy which sucks but I'm still carrying mostly muscle and looking lean and
mean.

Good job Ben! Keep killing it!
I competed back in April. Had an excellent rebound phase, lots and lots of all time PR's, however I may have overdone the cookies a bit too much lol. I'm currently in a R&R phase and about to come to the end of it. I had a week long trip to Mexico in which I didn't train and ate a bunch. I'm shedding the water this week and maybe 2-3 weeks of a lower calorie intake to get some fluff off and then will be pushing the offseason growth phase. Working with Justin Harris who is a fantastic coach.
I hope to compete again, but I don't know if that's in the cards. The girlfriend just finished grad school and we may start a business. Engagement, wedding, buying a house, and moving are all in the short term plans for us. So if I'm able to really improve and dedicate my time to growing properly during all the craziness, then I'd like to give another show a try. Now that I'm 34, I think a local show would be fine and if I cannot win my class, then I'll just redirect my priorities while continuing to love training.Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!
