An interesting side effect to compound 20 that many have reported is an all day swollen member. I noticed about 2 weeks in but dismissed it. The wife spoke up though so I looked around, others have reported it as well. No wonder its so popular.

Nice. I will go ahead and order another bottle. I heard about the increased libido but not about the swollenness.

I guess it gets you swole in more way than one.

I think I'm gonna do away with squats. I know they're the most complete leg lift, but they don't feel right. Even with no weight on the bar, going deep just doesn't feel natural. I have a really long torso, and my back gets exhausted holding the weight before my legs get tired of lifting it. I think I'll get more out of leg press.

I understand that, with me being 6'5 and a long torso it is tough. The last few weeks I have either gone lighter squats or not used them. I wish my gym had a good hack squat.

I bought a manta ray for the bar, totally changed squats for me. I still don't go heavy, but my reps with 225 have skyrocketed since I got it.

BE A MAN! Just do it with the naked bar!

lol j/k

I don't have a problem using the regular pad that is at the gym, but if they had one of those, I'd probably use it. I'm not gonna go out and buy one, though.

The only thing that I hate about the pad at my gym is the way it velcroes. The velcro doesn't overlap. I don't know how to explain it, but it's probably similar to most pads. The velcro ends just butt into each other, so you have to make sure that the velcro joint is up when you start the lift, or the weight of the bar will just separate the velcro and the pad will pop off. It's an unpleasant surprise when you're expecting it to be there, and it's not.

So the OxyElite bottle says do not mix with alcohol. How strict with that should I be? I usually will have 2 or 3 beers on Friday or Saturday night. I know it's not good for my diet, so I've cut back considerably, but I still like to have a little now and then.

Dude, I've got the torso of a 6' 4" guy, and the limbs of a 6' guy, which puts me right in the middle at 6' 2", and makes squats very awkward.

In HS my 5' 10" friend was jabbing me because he could dunk with a lot more ease than I could, and we raised our hands to see who could reach higher...his finger tips reached about 4" higher than mine.

I looked that up, they also have the sting ray which is for front squats. People who have used either one, what are your opinions?

I don't have an opinion, since I haven't tried them. For me, front squats are a lot more comfortable than regular squats using the straight barbell.

Got a rough month ahead. Run in the Knoxville Half-Marathon tomorrow morning.

Then Monday starts Spring Practice. Running & Conditioning every morning at 6, combined with weightlifting at 12:30 and practice at 4:30. Taking 15 hours on top of that. I'll be lucky to stay awake in class.

Going to need a pre-workout of somekind to give me energy to get through the day. What do you all suggest? I'll probably just go with JACK3D again. I thought it worked well.
