Single legs, plus some upper body just for fun.

Depends on when you work out. Morning? Sure, whatever. If you work out after work 200-300 mg of caffeine at 6:00 PM is doing you no favors.

True that, but I'm ready for the season to start.

He couldn't go into details publicly, but he made it pretty clear that money was no longer a concern for him. But, as uglymoney noted a big part of the settlement was ensuring changes were made that would prevent a similar situation in the future....

Yeah, a lab mixed up his prostate biopsy sample with someone else who had the same *first* name, he was incorrectly diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer, and underwent an unnecessary radical prostatectomy. Even worse, the guy who actually had Stage 4 prostate cancer ended up dying due to the delay...

Elevated serum creatine is an overall indicator of poor health in the general population. It's not surprising that there's a correlation there. There are many studies that have actually measured changes in blood pressure with creatine supplementation and found no ill effects. Outcomes trump mechanisms....

Ah, gotcha. Not really a contraindication since they are pulling water into and out of different body compartments. Extra water in plasma (where diuretics act) raise blood pressure, extra water inside muscle does not.

That study is meaningless with regards to creatine supplementation....

This is a completely reasonable use case since turmeric is cheap and you're getting an immediate and clearly beneficial effect. There are lot of people out there spending a lot of money on things with far more nebulous benefits.

General best practices for supplements:

I'm going to let Layne answer this one: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Jk...HpdGACHhvUFP8K

Bottom line, zero evidence for renal issues or hypertension in literally hundreds of studies. I've never even heard...

Has anyone heard of Dr. David Fajgenbaum? Nearly died multiple times from Castleman disease in med school, eventually tried using rapamycin and has been in remission for 11 years. Now runs a company that investigates repurposing existing drugs to treat rare diseases. Pretty cool story. He has a TED...

Supplements are like conspiracy theories, the vast majority are total bullshit but a few are for real. There isn't a single reason not take creatine....

Got it. I thought you were saying you take one of the newer encapsulated time-release versions that are coming out. Subjective effects aside, all the legit research I'm aware of on normal powdered bicarb is for events lasting a few minutes at most. Your body controls blood pH so tightly that it's hard...

And vibes to those who had to perform the recovery, had to be grisly. KSL info was minimal, I'm curious where he fell....

I've been administered IV morphine a few times, which is effectively the same as shooting heroin. Honestly I think it's overrated....

I'll try to get some video next week. A few weeks ago I did some conventional deadlifts after not doing regular deads for months. Pulled 365 for a triple, felt pretty good about that.

edit: Also, it was 2x65 (130 total) for sets of 5, though I was doing 2x70 for triples last week and am...

I suspected that, but these days you never know....
