I just bought two bottles of the curcumin 500. Reading some of the post on ‘nutrition and supp’ forum and Hel’s thread got me wanting to see if this will help my knee and back pain. I’ll post my results.

The front andersons are crazy- I usually set them up facing out of the rack- but the comrade set them facing the mirror- My neck turned purple while I saw stars
It takes a REAL man or a genetic mutant albino.

KMC, I’ll have to try to andersen front squats. Have you found yourself a new training partener?
Reading some the threads and find a lot of people with joint pain(Barry’s knees, Pete’s elbow). I have quite a bit of knee and back pain myself. So I ordered two bottles of Curcumin 500 yesterday. It should be arriving Monday. I’ll post if it helps.
Just got my Top Squat in the mail. Gave it a try but my legs ache so bad I couldn’t do much. I’m going to use it for GMs tomorrow.
Eco
let us know how the top squat works and I am thinking I need some curicucicule stuff too.
I have not been back to the gym since- too busy this week
I would do it- having some other goon lifting heavy shit with you is super motivating.
think I would need a wee bit of catch up with the comrad.

8/8
rack pull 585 3x3
‘top squat’ GM 225 3 setsx 5 reps
ab roll 3 sets
BB row 275 3 sets x 10 reps
grip work
The new piece of equipment made GMs very comfortable. I’ll see how it does with squats and lunges next wednesday.
Strong rack pulls. My sis tells me you guys have some nice weather today.

Smokin’!
JT, it was a beautiful day. Around 80, no humidity, sunny. Had a neighborhood cookout and am nursing a buzz right now.
Thanks Skid. I’m adding 40lbs a week until I can’t get 3x3.
Really awesome rack pulls eco! And planning to add 40# more. Can’t help but shake my head. Great work!
Very kind words LS, thank you.

I almost skipped today because I was tired after eating a ton at a cookout. Pumped I didn’t because I haven’t been this strong in months.

it’s amazing how shorter training sessions and plenty of rest can make you stronger:) simple… just seems too simple doesn’t it?
Hit the phase of really good workouts there. All your lifts are looking great.
Thanks guys. This was the best lifting weekend I’ve had in a long time. Everything went better then planned. I’m believing in the more rest idea.
Nice work Eco.
All around impressive pressing, Eco.
Thank you Pete and Joe.
My Curcumin 500 has arrived today. I’ll be taking it as soon as I get home. I hope it takes care of a couple nagging joint pains I have.
I turn 40 on the 24th. I’m thinking about having a minipower meet on the 23rd. I would really like to pull 600 and bench 425. Fat chance on the bench but the deadlift may be possible. I’d be happy with a 415 bench.
Love the 315x11 bench press.
