I think we have all had so many discussions in the past there are no questions left to ask hardly. Except stuff like "why isn't there a foil seal on PUP?" I think we are at a point where you can do little wrong but you can certainly optimize. And my days of building engines and dyno runs are...

Breakfast

This is not an answer but an observation on the PUP. I have a Hemi which consumes oil. The Platinum High Mileage 5W30 will go 3,000 miles and will still be in the safe range. The PUP 5W30 will need a quart added in only 3,000 miles. In short, the PUP goes through an oil burning Hemi fairly quickly.

We definitely all have different metabolisms and requirements. (y) Each end of the spectrum is a tough place to be I think. For me continuous eating is a major chore and expensive. And I get acid reflux from all the eating. Food is just fuel IMO. Sometimes it is good and that is a bonus...

Totally agree, keep it up!

Awesome! Everyone else thinks we are crazy. I say get out of the way, Im trying to grow!

I do have to lift heavy to get sore. But would do reps if it worked. And I do just like heavy weight, except when joints say otherwise. Like Drive was saying, you teach yourself to push yourself. But once you learn that, you can push too hard. Someone once told me about the 40% rule. When you...

Awesome Java. I have always been a biker. Only casual nowadays, but love it.

Morning protein drink 30g P and 140 cal Breakfast sandwich 650cal Lunch protein drink 30g P and 140 cal Fast food lunch example: Moes Nachos/beans/rice/cheese/chicken/queso 1,800 cal. Or take lunch. Unless you eat absolute crap, its actually very hard to get a 2,000 calorie range lunch...

If your 285 bench is painless joint wise and feels good, I would take that any day!!! That's great. My shoulder started hurting only thinking about it. A lifting buddy who is a senior bodybuilder and just won 1st in a contest always tells me to not worry about your weight or your strength...

Agree with your training philosophy Drive. Only major difference is it takes a lot of calories for me to bulk up. Currently on 4k a day. The most I can do without causing acid reflux and problems. I have done 6k a day but its not sustainable for me. 6'1' and 220 right now. Starting cutting at...

I had a brief ban too. Long ago.

Great going Ed (y) I worked out in the LA Fitness Atlanta last weekend. What a huge gym!

Or if the filter is close to an exhaust pipe or exhaust manifold, the fins might actually absorb heat and make the oil hotter in some conditions. I have seen a few vehicles with the filter way too close to the exhaust.

I'm 57 and am currently the strongest I have ever been in most lifts. Some joint injures hold me back. At 27 and 28 I competed in state bodybuilding contests and was only about 185# back then. You would be laughed off stage at that size nowadays. I'm still in a bulking phase right now but in...
