Perfect Rob - Thanks again as usual! So I weighed in this morning...207.5 lbs. -.4 lbs??? What is going on here!? I am finding it very interesting that I have essentially taken ~3750 calories per day since the first three Feast days ended and I have only had a very small net weight gain. I am hopefu...

Just finished my Upper GLP #1 and I feel like it was a great workout! Given I was leary about pushing the shoulder prior to my appointment yesterday, it felt good setting some concern aside after receiving assurance that I wouldn't make things worse. Rob - I could use a little help from you with reg...

Sounds like an interesting idea. I also received the suggestion to go Stoked/LX Weeks 1-4 and AX at 6/day Weeks 3-8 from a DS rep. Both options are intriguing to me...Choices, choices! I do like the idea of having LX come cruise time though, so I am thinking that I will follow what you've outlined. ...

After hearing that the shoulder is well enough and I can work through it, I have decided to start taking some test boosting supplements I have on hand. I plan to run: -Activate Xtreme @ 4 caps/day for 8 weeks -Stoked @ 4 caps/day for 4 weeks EDIT: Should I run the bottle of Stoked during the first 4...

Just got back from ortho and received some good news: It's just an AC issue. He took some x-rays as well and said that, while there is some slight arthritis, it is nothing to be overly concerned with and the AC strain should resolve itself in time. He gave me the go ahead to work through this and ju...

I see. So to ensure understanding, you would suggest that, rather than perform deadlifts (with other more traditional upper body lifts during EDTs) on upper body days, I identify a lift that I can handle (it seems like Incline DB or Decline Barbell/Machine might be a lift I could work with). I guess...

Thanks for the suggestions. The reason I was thinking DL for my core lift on upper days was due to my shoulder issue that is yet unresolved (my dr. appt. is Thursday). Do you have a different suggestion?

OK - Would you suggest doing RDLs if my upper days are centered around DL? Any other options you would suggest?

Would Hack Squat/Leg Press be a suitable EDT to perform on Squat days? Also, do people generally alternate lifts they do for EDT or keep them consistent (i.e. WO #1 EDT = Hack/Press, WO #2 EDT = Press/Lunge, etc.). Also, is it encouraged to keep stretch movements in play during GLP. If so, would I p...
