Genuine question for the group. Which I am thinking of adding to the other skool groups to generate dialogue and more members - thoughts??? What constitutes a rep — to you? - How did you learn it? Did someone teach you, or did you copy what the bloke next to you was doing? - What does it involve in terms of timing? - If you were taught it, how do you know it's right? - Is it actually working? Are you still progressing? Simple question. But here's what I see day to day: most people approx 90% perform reps incorrectly, and most programmes consist of 60% junk reps, with no benefit whatsoever And I don't mean anatomy or alignment; that's another post 😮— I'm talking purely about timing. Here's the bit that gets missed. The way you performed a rep that you learned on day one should not be the way you perform it now. A beginner, an intermediate, and someone who genuinely understands the movement patterns should be doing that same rep differently as they progress. If you're still doing what you were shown right at the very beginning, you're leaving a huge amount of benefit on the table. Now multiply that by every rep in your programme. That's a lot to leave sitting there — and all it takes to fix is understanding one rep, and how it should progress as you learn. The most common trap: people with 3, 6, or 12 months behind them jump straight into what I call Phase 3. They assume that because they have done it before, they know how to do it, just like any other programme. It isn't. It's a learning progression — so you understand why you're doing something, exactly how to do it, and what the reason is for doing so. Drop your answer below. There's no right or wrong here, and I'm not picking holes in anyone. Then I'll give you my opinion based on science and experience. If your coach or training program already has this information and can tell you the why, how, and what, brilliant. If they can't tell you that, they're just ripping money out of your back pocket.

Ive have always been, well as far back as I can remember anyway. I bought Bob Andersons legendary stretching book so long ago that Ive no clue when determined to make progress. However, I found/find the whole thing breathtakingly boring. Questions Is there any real merit in stretching or does RT done properly address the balance? If it is of merit, how little is necessary to gain benefit? Do anyone here stretch and what is your methodology?

Ok so my number is up , I have to slide my pride and joy into the cigar chopper soon to remove (tmi obvs ) my foreskin, for long term health I've been advised I must do this :0 The HORROR.... #lychenschlerosus So Shaun , what should I have in my recovery war chest ? I really don't want to wait three months before getting back on the proverbial horse ? Wolverine stack ? Ghk-cu ? Testosterone? Thoughts and prayers? Other ? Paging megabrain @Shaun Womersley Absolutely a serious post , I'm bloody terrified. LilGaz ' me too Gary,!!!'

I've lost access to a thread elsewhere where I documented my journey with retatrutide so I thought I'd continue it here. It should always have been here tbh because the success im having with it is completely down to the excellent advice I've had from the man , the myth the legend, @Shaun Womersley It's only fair that present and future members here get to see how much a suitably qualified and capable advisor, I recommend Shaun unequivocally, can steer you in the right direction. So I began April the 8th with the following stats Weight 95.6kg Waist 38" Chest 48" Arms 17 1/2 Leg 26 1/2 Today I'm at Weight 80kg Waist 33 3/4 Chest 46" Arms 16 3/4 Legs 24 1/4 Okay I've lost a little muscle it would appear, however I'm in replacement dose try during this , wheres before I was running test a little higher ( still within human ranges ) but using the old dbol so there would have been some bloat in the first set of measurements. I'm hugely happy with the progress on appearance as a now look like ( and am ) a relatively fit and in shape bloke not a beer monster. It's really effective stuff if you can get into the mindset to go low and slow ( I was a diva a out this to begin with admittedly) In hunger free , have great energy and feel great. Stop me before I start looking like Kelly Osbourne but at this point I can't recommend this stuff , and the big homie Shaun , enough. Now I'm going out sprinting. Which if I did it when I weighed 95 kg , I think my hooves might have fallen off Dose as per Shaun was 0.5 mg first two weeks to acclimatise , then 1mg and my personal choice was not to go higher as it's enough to tickle this fat loss along with zero side effects and it means I get ten weeks out of a ten mg vial which isn't bad for a life changing result ( less than a tenner a week for the source I used )

This is why . Good innings though
