Pan fry, because they don't stick well enough to grill and then eat them like any other burger. The taste is much more mild once you heat tuna, and it moistens up pretty well too in my experience. Do you happen to have any kind of recipe for me, or just rough amounts? That sounds really good, I'd definitely like to try it.

She did some simple tests and said she didn't think it was a disc issue. It's like a specific spot on the right side of my lower back, feels pretty deep, my right foot/hamstring goes numb sometimes depending on how I'm sitting or lying down. It started to hurt after squats too, I haven't deadlifted in a while. The pain started when I had to stand up for hours each day for a job, it would stop when I walked or sat down. I'm guessing I should see a physical therapist for a second opinion, and obviously not lifting for months is not realistic. I've gotten heat pads, started taking painkillers, etc. Any advice? Whenever I've had pain in my back, working out generally did not make it better, and it did not just magically go away most of the time. Obviously seeing a physical therapist is the most desirable thing to do. Outside of that, I would take cut out any back exercise for 1-2 weeks (plus squats and ab work), take multivitamins, and eat properly. Then have one week that's lower on the weight, making sure you have perfect form before going back to where you were before. If everything is back to normal, then great. If not - that's when you definitely want to see a therapist. I know it takes like a month to just get back to where you were before, but it's my way of just being safe. And just focus even more on form than you normally would... Sometimes a minor injury is a helpful reminder to maintain that perfect form, not going past your range of motion, etc. In other news, I'm 165.5lbs at the moment. That is 28 pounds down on one year ago, 20lbs from 6 months ago, and 10lbs down from beginning of summer. A lot of this loss I'm sure is due to not working out due to my injury in the last weeks, but it feels nice to not feel overweight. | ||

Also, if you definetately can't use your lower back hard, you can still bench, pull ups, rows, abs and other fuckton lifts. | ||

Also, if you definetately can't use your lower back hard, you can still bench, pull ups, rows, abs and other fuckton lifts. Yep, I suggested in my post to stop back exercises, squat, and deadlift... But still do the other ones. I'm an amateur, but I wouldn't do rows when my lower back hurts, you still activate it a decent bit (just hard to notice when you're very healthy, and when you're doing dumbbell rows, you use your lower back to get into position). Would not do my abs or core either. I'd also potentially be hesitant about doing anything that puts a lot of weight on your spine, which is like any kind of military press. But to conclude, as we both said, going to a professional is almost always the suggested advice for most injuries from what I've seen in this thread. It can be something little, but it can also be something shitty, and it's difficult to self-diagnose - better to be safe than sorry. | ||

Nice squat. | ||

The point of the drink is to enhance cell swelling since swelling enhances anabolism: • Increase in taurine efflux by activating taurine transport pathways • Decrease in protein breakdown and increase in synthesis • Stimulation of urea synthesis and ammonia formation from amino acids • Decrease in glycogenolysis, glycolysis and glucose-6-phosphatase activity • Increase in alanine uptake • Increase in glycine oxidation • Increase in lipogenesis by decreasing carnitine palmitoyl transferase "However, as long as the amino acid load is present, the cell swelling continues, because the potassium, taurine, and other osmolyte efflux keep the swelling from becoming excessive. Therefore, in the presence of certain "organic osmolytes" (such as specific amino acids, alanine, glutamine, glysine), the cell remains slightly swollen, thus transmitting the signals associated with high cellular hydration (such as Protien synthesis). The degree of amino acid-induced cell swelling seems to be related largely to the steady state of the intra- or extracellular amino acid concentration gradient." - Neal F. Spruce and C. Alan Titchenal, Sports Nutrition: Fats and Proteins Only possible negative is increase in lipogenesis but that can be prevented in other ways. | ||

Hit a 250 squat for 3x5 today, which ties an all time PR I set like.... three years ago? maybe longer? Wanted 5x5 but my sleep and eating has been horrible due to trip to parents. Going for 280 3x3 anyway on thursday, though I'll probably hold volume day to my goal from today next time it rolls around. Also weighed in at 198.3 lbs which is the most I've ever weighed (and MUCH leaner than the last time my weight was close to this - about two inches less on my waist than when I last weighed 195. Gotta keep gaining though; 265/120kg powerlifting class here I come (someday*) | ||
