So my mom set up a doctors appointment for me to get a bloodtest for my cholesterol lvls and stuff. Is there anything else you would reccomend me asking to get tested? I'm not totally sure what is all included when they send the sample away to the lab.


Testosterone levels would be nice to know.

Other than that, the regular panel is pretty thorough.

Hey there rayndaddy.

Question on preventive strapping

I have a really bad wrist with quite bad flexibilty on it (fractured scaphoid 3x) recessed knuckles x1 and broken metacarpals x1

All on the same hand / wrist

Currently on the mend from latest fracture - would you recommend any kind of preventative strapping while lifting / playing sports?

On a side note I'm not sure whether I have fragile bones or what.. Any tips on increasing bone strength?

My calcium intake is high and always has been, but then again they are broken in quite physical ways.. Fighting, snowboarding, rugby, falling down stairs etc..



You had me in stitches when you said "falling down stairs" lol

Anyway, to fix your issues, I would recommend TAPING the wrists and using gloves with wrist supports in them while lifting.

Also, try this supplement:

Universal Animal Flex

That helps with bones and joints.

Hi.

Question about Thermogenics.

I already know, your advice is the german jetfuel. Since im from brazil, its pretty hard to import stuff, and it takes 45 days to arrive, etc. So, i wonder which coumponds are the best to have in a thermogenic supplement. (ephedrine is banned here).


Plain caffeine is usually good enough. Drink 2 cups of hot black coffee prior to a workout and watch the magic lol.

raynor, these are ma current stats.

squat 280x5
bench 235x3 / 225x6 (with spotter and help)
deadlift 315x5

weight :183-185 / height : 5'11 ish?

how bad/good do you think those numbers line up with my weight and height? also , i do 2 power training days, and then 3 hypertrophy. What i was wondering is on my power days should i do say...BB bench AND DB for strength or one or the other then rotate them? same with other strength exercises should i do them same day or rotate?

and for my current stats how would one go about getting more weight ? like increasing my bench squat etc...?



Those are reasonably good stats compared to the normal world.

I recommend doing both DB and BB bench on hypertrophy days, but only ONE of them on strength days.

Just keep increasing the weight each week. Go for ONE additional rep of the weight you did the week before, and maybe 5-10 lbs more for another set of 1-2 reps. Keep the reps to 6 or less and the sets to 5 or less.

Ray, What you think of these protein bars:

http://questproteinbar.com/?gclid=CKLDlZuovbACFQrf4Aodj07qng

I came across a wrapper of one in the garbage haha, I've never had one.. They seem like the best protein bar I've yet to see.

They still use sucralose...so they are making a fraudulent statement saying "No artificial sweeteners"

As far as the flavor goes, I don't like them.

VPX Zero Impact is supreme in my opinion.

I don't know if you still remember me but I'm still on your 5x5 program. So far everything is going perfectly, however it seems like I have plateaued with regards to the barbell bench. I've been at the same weights for about 3 months now. Any suggestions?
