You been lifting this week? Getting 250 grams of protein a day? I struggle with this myself.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before. In print for more than 40 years? I'm glad to hear that you were able to correct your back/posture issues. It lets me know there's light at the end of the tunnel. Like you mentioned, its great to work with...

coco coir coco chips earth worm castings compost I like the coco chips. They're bulky enough to stay put and not flow all over the place as you water. They help to water evenly, and to keep the top of the soil moist between watering.

Right now, your body is producing Test and growth hormone, and all the other good stuff at it's highest level. If you begin to use, your levels will become elevated. You'll see increased gains, but at some point there will be too much test/gh in your blood stream. In response, your body will...

11-28-2014 I planned to squat, but my hips were too tight and sore from the Thanksgiving car rides. So I worked on the bench press with the Power Lifting owner of my gym again. I suck at bench pressing, and normally don't mess with it much. But lately it feels like all I've been doing...

This looks like a good plan. In addition to what Stow and Grow recommends, I also like alfalfa meal. It works in the soil as a source of N, and if you soak it in water for awhile you can use it right away like a liquid nutrient. Half a cup of alfalfa meal and a whole cup of kelp meal...

Agree with Ninja, take those little plants put them in a box, and stick them in the car. Pull your tent down real quick and stick it under the bed.

Oh yeah, I feel like my problem was caused by a handful of injuries over the past few years. Limping around left me kinda "unsymmetrical." If I slack on my stretching, mobility and single leg work I'll get kinda lopsided, and prone to straining my lower back. Sometimes I hurry through the...

Thanks Mike, good info. I wish I had run into you sooner. You're right on in your diagnosis of my situation. My pelvis is all over the place. The calves and ankles are really important, and I guess I neglected them for awhile. Lately I've been using a resistance band looped around my foot...
