I had similar lower back stuff. Luckily, it feels like squats and deadlifts have only helped the issue. Still real careful, been moving up in weight very slowly. Sitting for too long is a pain though smh

Bros... I hope you never have to experience what I just did, although I'm sure many of you already have. I just found a shaker that had been lost for a little over a week. It had some residue left over and was shut the whole time. Man...when I opened this thing up it smelled like absolute death. I almost puked.
If they're that bad I just throw them away
That stench never comes out completely
I always wash my shaker cups the day I used them lol. I dont even wanna know what that thang smell like after a week
I can't believe I forgot this. This following quote is hilarious. It was taken from a Muscle and Fitness interview with Randy Orton MF: What about supplements? RO: I learned a lot from [former WWE champion] Chris Benoit. He doesn't like shaker cups because they get dirty and stink so quickly. So he'll take two scoops of protein powder and put it in his mouth dry, then put a little water in and shake his head around. I used to look at him and think, "Damn, that's hardcore!" Then one day I was like, "**** this shaker," and I started doing it the Benoit way.
Lean af manstill putting this work in. Still lifting heavy, still cutting. Bouta be cold af in a month or 2. I'm about 208 now, about 12-13%. Gonna go down to about 9-10% and then just maintain that through the spring/summer

squatted for the first time in sleeves this morning. Didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but WOW. The extra support and bounce out of the hole is a game changer.
yes, no doubt. If you're on the fence, I say go for it.Seriously?? I was skeptical about getting them.
you get addicted when you start seeing those resultsFinally serious about getting in shape. Went to the gym Wed night to do chest and triceps and these joints still in pain. I went this morning and do lower body work. This ish has the potential to be mad addictive. I'm going back tomorrow and hopefully the pain will subsided by then so I can do my arm at least sheesh.
Just an update on my results. I usually just lurk in here and really enjoy seeing everyone's progress, but figured i'd post anyways. I'm now cut down to 142 pounds (From 180) and another 2 waist sizes (From 34 to a 29). I think i'm actually the same weight as I was in high school back in 1998.In September I decided to do a sober month to see how it would go and it made me feel amazing. I returned from Paris & London at the end of October and realized how overweight I was and started to think of ways to take action. At the time i was pushing 180 with a huge gut from all the beer and alcohol from the summer. (I'm 5 ft 7 but a smaller guy). So on October 29th I decided that was it, and decided to take an indefinite break from drinking and the sloppy lifestyle I was living. I gave up alcohol, beer, wine, carbonation and juice. Staying in on the weekends at first was a challenge, but I got used to it. At the end of November I decided to start hitting the gym hard and have been doing a TON of cardio since. I started with 2 miles a day, twice a week. Then went to 3 days a week and have continuously increased the intensity and mileage accordingly. I work out in a small gym in my condo building so there is never an issue with getting a treadmill, just the lack of free weights/lifting equipment has been a challenge.
Here we are 3 months later and I weighed in at 155 today. I've dropped 3 waist sizes, lost 25 pounds, become more focused at work and became a top 5 rep at my company. I've saved so much money it's absurd and never thought about how much I was spending on alcohol per week! My diet is continuously improving and I'm getting serious results so I must be doing something right. Still trying to cut 10 more pounds and maintain that solid 145 weight.
