    Anyone Else Experience a Shift in their Political Views?

    25 years ago, right out of college, I found myself on the left, politically. I thought conservatives made some sense, but were too mean spirited, and that kinder gentler politics of the left made more sense. Over 10 to 15 years, working as a small town attorney, I moved to the middle...

    Unusual and Delicious Foods You Have Tried

    I have been lucky to try a lot of foods most people won't ever have the opportunity to try, simply because they were prepared differently than the normal way we eat them, were from a plant or source that is not commonly available, or were simply so fresh you could never compare them to what you...

    Self Surgery and Some Preventive Self Treatment I have used. WARNING: this is kind of gross stuff!

    How many of you have done self surgery? I have done several procedures. Once I had a large hard lump on the inside of my bottom lip the size of a pea. It cam from me biting the inside of my lip, then after it became irritated, I kept biting it by accident and it got quite a bit worse over a...

    Casein Protein

    My coach recommends casein before I go to bed as a source of slow digesting protein while I sleep. I have been eating whole milk cottage cheese, but am getting tire of it. Do any of you have a brand of casein that you like? If so, what brands and flavors do you recommend? I don't want to...

    My Awesome Coach

    In 2012, after years of training myself and not making particularly good progress, and having bulked myself to a fat slob, I met my current coach and started asking him questions. He looked great and his answers to my questions, and resume convinced me he knew what he was talking about, so I...

    What to Look For in a Great Coach

    I wanted to start a thread to talk about what are the essential characteristics a person should look for when hiring a coach. I got lucky when I hired mine 7 years ago, and he turns out to be a very high quality coach who happened to settle down in the small rural town where I work. Here are...

    From Extreme Fatty to almost 10% Bodyfat, My Progress Over 7 Years

    Starting in 2000 or so, while training myself, I read a book about putting on some serious muscle while doing heavy squats, and was inspired to eat a lot more, and to see how much muscle I could gain over a couple of years.

    Best oils for homebrewing?

    I have been using Ethyl Oleate for my homebrewing and I like it because it is light and goes through a small needle nicely. But I have mild environmental allergies (mold, cats, trees, grass, etc) and am afraid I may have developed an allergy to Ethyl Oleate. For those of you paying attention...

    Steroids for Strength

    What compounds do you guys run for strength? I have been running 700mg Test C and 600 mg Tren and got good results until a couple years ago when I got chronic hiccups. I am looking to replace the tren with something (not deca as I am thinking that will probably cause hiccups too). Thanks!

    Has anyone tried a high Protein, low carb, low fat diet?

    I have been experimenting with manipulating my macros and have been on a ketogenic diet (at least in theory) for nearly 3 years, with one day off per week. Recently, with my coach's urging, I increased the protein quite a bit, which helped with a cut. After that cut was done, I increased my...
