Those are some great gains especially given the stable waist measurement. I'm curious to read how you feel going through famine given the daytime lethargy and mood swings you reported. Do you modify famine to tax your body less?

I appreciate your response, BrainSquirts. I do not think I could do much to reduce my exposure to these right now. For example, I usually use a natural deodorant free of those compounds but I could do a better job of buying organic meat. However, there is one potentially huge exception: Before I sto...

Bransquirts, please tell us how oliflix tastes. The taste of Papa Vince varies naturally with the olives every year but it consistently has a nice, slightly bitter taste and at least a moderate peppery kick down the throat.
Thank you, Mass. That's a great tip: California Olive Ranch olive oil.

teenphysique, something elevated my total estrogen and I believe it's either oral pregnenolone or transdermal DHEA. As I recall, both are said to be unlikely suspects. I dropped both a couple weeks ago and will retest in 2-3 weeks. I also added in DIM (Nature's Way DIM-plus - 2 caps / 2x a day). Fin...

Great tip. I remember Carl Lanore talking about the jammer press regularly during the summer. Yeah I've only heard good things! You have a shoulder injury brother? Missed this question - yeah, more in the trapezius I believe. If I lay down and try to lay my arms by my ears, my left arm does not fal...

Did you follow this de-calcification routine for the past year? And has it had any results for your hair?
Bumping to hopefully learn matter is doing well.

Great find, I type years later because of bennygill123's great summarization of matter2003's greatest hits. Advise working hard to find authentic olive oil. I use Papa Vince - former advertiser on Superhuman Radio. This 2013 article said even Whole Foods olive oil failed in testing: https://lifehack...

12mgs a night. It's actually a topical oil that she wants me to use orally. I am going to ask her why she prefers oral intake. I also remember reading in the past that it is not absorbed well orally. You know, the doctor never called me back. I called her three times. I did not ask this particular ...

Say Rob, a possible BP Power Hour question: A lot of us push our blood pressure high with training, and possibly quite of us have at least slightly elevated blood pressure at other times. As you think about the blood pressure lowering supplements Matter mentioned as well as any others you know, whic...

Great tip. I remember Carl Lanore talking about the jammer press regularly during the summer. Also, a friend let me try the Slingshot band and I loved how it took tension off my shoulders during the bench press. It also provided a fun elastic boost off the bottom while allowing one to pause if desir...
