Aren't you UK based?

Do you need to pin yourself for those?
 
Aren't you UK based?

Do you need to pin yourself for those?

I am in the US.

One of the vendors I use for BP.C157 is based in UK if I am not mistaken.

T.B500 needs to be pinned due to its high molecular weight. Some places sell it in pill form but it's a scam in my opinion. B.PC157 on the other hand can be taken in pill form (arginate salt) or intranasally as a spray. Some other peptides are a mixed bag but usually best used subcutaneously. These two peptides are usually best used together for best results and sometimes adding Gh.K-cu is also a good idea.

275-5 reps
335-5 reps....solid form
385-3+0 reps...was going for 1 but it was fairly easy so I went for a couple more...I maybe could have grinded another rep or two....I was a bit surprised I had that in me...went deep on all reps ..bounced out of the bottom
---groin pull was feeling a better....it's maybe 75%....
---very long rest periods....for some reason I was dragging but once I started doing the heavy work sets they felt quite light...I was really focusing on keeping tight, squeezing the bar, etc

--I tried to do an overhead squat w/ snatch grip with 135lb and got nowhere...I was able to do a slight knee bend before just dumping the weight ....I'll need to do just the bar if anything if I want to start doing them....

I used these glove straps...I used them for pull ups as well to save my hands a bit. My calluses still tore a bit today but nothing major...


---my form wasn't great but i'll take it after so many months off from deadlifting.

----meth.ylene b.lue stuff is insane....I have so much energy and I've been noticing my endurance is improved as well as my ability to hold my breath(nothing crazy but noticeably improved). I highly recommend it. It's probably number one supplement or substance I've ever used. This may be the one and only useful thing you'll get out of this log. I did not feel tired between sets. I was mostly just distracted talking to a friend on the phone.

Close Grip Pull Ups:
bw-6 reps...left handle came off the doorframe on 7th rep .....i was doing them semi explosively on the way up and controlled on the way down....not good ...I am very disappointed with JayFlex Crossgrip pull up handles...the hard plastic hollow plastic over metal also rotates which makes it hard to get a knuckles up grip for better efficiency and these plastic covers also slide outwards....not a good pull up bar....it's portable and perhaps ok for neutral grip pull ups but for chin ups or pull ups it's unstable...

Close Grip Pull Ups:
bw-7+0 reps...after i reset...

tweaked my lower back a few days ago doing nothing and then aggravating it further by trying to my spinal board----not a pleasant few days but today it felt better...especially with some excedrins...
----I ended up returning my JayFlex Crossgrips....I asked them for exchange or refund and they just offered an immediate refund with a shipping label...which is cool I guess...their max weight should really be 180-200lb with this product...and even then it feels like their quality control is lacking..
----I ended up getting a free standing pull up station on Ali for 88$....so basically about the same as Crossgrips...will see what it looks like and how I can anchor it so it's secure...I may keep it in the garage.. I am thinking of drilling an anchor into the garage floor onto which I can tie down the backside of the pull up stand...will see...

-------shoulders and elbows were absolutely destroyed today from assisted crow pose attempts yesterday...I need to use way more assistance....this exercise and planche are brutal...hats off to the calisthenics guys that do them ....I think I may be closer to 1000lb squat than to a planche push up...
