Bump for this interesting post by Dragon and to see if Rob can provide a link for his videos? I hear about your progress during the power hour and it would be inspiring to see some of these great performances. Also, can someone post a picture of the bottom of their lifting shoes? I am looking to see...

Tranquilogen will be worth the wait brother. In fact, I'd say if you're really suffering from anxiety, sell you MPS and order Tranquilogen. I'm dead serious brother. Lemme tell you why.. I suffer from anxiety/depression. The former more than the latter... I appreciate your honesty, Rob. I struggle ...

Doctor Jack Kruse posted some thoughts at https://www.jackkruse.com/hormone-cpc-1-dhea/. I referenced "Adaptogen N". I have not had time to think about them. He is a controversial figure, heavy on evolutionary theorizing. I find him provocative and love his energy and spirit. I am using on...

Thanks cogrick and matter. I do suspect my zinc levels are low. I have been taking ZMA before going to bed, but am thinking about purchasing separate quality zinc and magnesium supps and going heavier on the zinc. I've never heard of a liquid zinc challenge solution... will definitely check that ou...

Great advice here and during that SHR episode. I am thinking about buying the rumbleroller from Dick's but it is so freaking expensive ($75). It looks like it would be especially effective though. On the other hand, I have a mini-football (hard enough to work) so I can put that tip into effect immed...

Nice work. Did you get a hematocrit result? I wonder if the improved nutrient absorption and increased training one 'could' perform that are associated with mass pro synthagen would be beneficial for hematocrit.

Funny, a naturopathic physician recently recommend a nightly castor oil massage for reducing a tender spot in my abdomen (colon?) when I press into it. I humbly predict we see the inversion table's appearance in the next Blueprint.

On the topic of adaptogen N, I'm not sure but I think I do better with two caps than three. Three seems to cause me to wake up in the middle of the night - too much melatonin perhaps. I'm putting that out there in case people are experimenting with it.
