Been off teh creatinez since 2/4: one, prone to mild gastric discomfort from usage; two, caffeine shown to negate benefits; three and straw that broke my back, raises DHT levels -screw that.
Did my Sadiv bastardization 335 x 21 in 12 minutes on 2/8, will take a break and switch back to “regular” strength training for deadlifts.
Hi, PG. Just saw the squat set-up vid you posted a while back. Great stuff for this newbie to study. Thanks!

Really? I’ve heard that it’s completely harmless. When was that established?

Ha, I knew OP was just messing around. My post is serious though. The caffeine negating the effects of creatine was posted by Thibaudeau in his forum a while back, it was a legit study. The DHT (linked to hair loss) thing was a fairly recent thread in the nutrition (or PL?) forum. (a legit study was linked)
Deadlifted tonight. Didn’t feel like it but karma demanded it since I gave unsolicited DL advice…
Gym was pretty empty, so decided to experiment. With bar on safety bars in power rack, and a Reebok step platform on two risers per side, pulled from mid-shin. Read more than once that mid-shin is supposed to be harder than off the floor for most people. Worked up to 415, will pull off the floor next session and see whether I duplicate this (would be a 10 lb pr) or perhaps even surpass it.
I always found rack pulls harder as I cannot seem to get my lower body into the lift it feels awkward for me.

Exactly how I felt! It was the hardest 275 ever lol. Harder to tell at 375+ because I haven’t tried higher weights in a couple months due to working on form.
I have done knee level rack pulls in the past and it’s a lot easier than regular DLs.

Rack pulls can be really weird. Have you tried lifting off floor but stopping at knee level? Did that during my Sheiko cycle and amazed how it pounds you.
BUMP
Do you even lift ? 
Up! Whattup! Thanks for checking in on me.
I still lift, but I only “work out”. In my own mind at least, I think I’m a tiny bit more dense/cut than my previous pics.
I still do all the big lifts, but I don’t push it anymore when it comes to weight on the bar. From personal experience, extensive reading on the forums, etc. I’ve arrived at my own personal decision that an extra X amount on the bar is not worth injury(ies). Especially now that I’m at the big Five Oh!
Function and Form over Weight (plus big GunZ of course) is now my mantra.

I hope I grow up to be as smart as you.
So in other words, your going for “toning”
Smart man.
