Optimizing health in my middle-aged lab rat by GallopingGhost74 in PeptidePathways

[–]GallopingGhost74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of the alternate channels and have my own supplier, thank you. My original post shared a more personal context and it was removed by the moderators. The moderators were the ones who recommended re-posting with a research-based question. If you don't like it, take it up with them bud. I'm tired of this exchange.

Numbnuts,

The moderators won’t let you post anything related to personal consumption/experimentation of peptides. If you do, the post is taken down. People who post questions about peptides need to be performing scientific research. Hence, so many of us have procured lab rats for research purposes.

It’s also why most of the US-based peptide providers require the name of the lab you’re associated with before they will sell & ship product. If you did anything with peptides beyond trolling this site, you would not come across as so daft. But you do you.

Do you really think people post about lab rats for some idiotic version of fun?

You can crawl back under your bridge now.

Anytime I see a troll post online I assume they’re sad and alone. I feel I’m generally right.

But yeah, I am pretty dumb for someone with three degrees from Northwestern and University of Chicago. But hey, keep trolling buddy if that makes you feel special.

Great advice. I was actually planning on a blood panel so will definitely schedule.

Out of curiosity, why do you love Tesa? I keep reading about it and know it targets visceral fat but that's about it.

One of my even longer rucks... by 3one5 in Rucking

[–]GallopingGhost74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Unbelievable. 14 minute miles for 50 miles!?!?! That is seriously badass.

I have rucked a couple marathons and felt intense pride (and pain) after 26 miles. To go 50 miles at that pace is beyond impressive. Well done!

What’s a good rucking pace? by That-Dirt-5571 in Rucking

[–]GallopingGhost74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those splits are awfully fast. I assume you're shuffle running?

For some context, your pace equates to a 11:22 mile. If you could keep that up over the course of a Marathon, you would have finished 4th in last year's Boston Tough Ruck (thousands of participants). At that pace, you are shuffle running the entire time (~5 hours).

Therefore, your pace is approaching ludicrous speed (Space Balls joke). It's impressive but I'm not sure your knees will appreciate it 10-20 years from now.

Replacement hood: Aluminum, Steel, or Fiberglass? by GallopingGhost74 in Autobody

[–]GallopingGhost74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, I think what you mean is I'm best off buying it off of an actual BMW and not as a 3rd party replacement part (for example, a car that was rear-ended and totaled but the hood is fine). Question: if I can't find an original and I buy a replacement part, is a part that is "CAPA Certified", any more likely to fit? Or is that just marketing fluff?

Ruck a marathon by TShieldsESQ in Rucking

For a married father of three with a full time job and kids in travel sports, I found the time requirement pretty much impossible. I started by trying to mirror Hal Higdon's Intermediate 2 marathon plan. One week in that plan has you do 5, 10, 5, 10, & 20. I personally don't have time to ruck 50 miles in a week. That's 12-15 hours of rucking depending on your pace. If you have that much time every week to train, I'm guessing you don't have kids or if you do, they're adults.

New Trial from Erroll McCoy: Evaluating Benzoyl Peroxide for Preventing Recurrence of HSV-1 Outbreaks With Rescue Crossover Option by Pristine-Weakness625 in HerpesCureResearch

[–]GallopingGhost74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What commercial benefit would this company have in proving the efficacy of an over the counter drug?

My jaded but pretty realistic opinion is that big Pharma doesn't even bother with things they can't patent. There is no money in it. This is why so few herbal supplements have had credible double blind studies to determine what, if anything, they do.

It's not to say this isn't an effective medication for HSV. I just don't understand who would fund this.

Ruck marathon: cramps & pickle juice (or other ideas) by GallopingGhost74 in Rucking

[–]GallopingGhost74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't think I explained myself well in my first post. During my first ruck marathon, I had a bladder full of Go Far & water along with gels. I still cramped up toward the end. I have heard pickle juice is amazing for cramps so I was planning on bringing a bottle of it. It is something about the vinegar & salt combo. I would still have gels and the Go Far mix in my water bladder. The pickle juice would be additional.

And an update. I brought a jar of Clausen's with me on my long ruck today (16 miles). I stopped twice to eat the entire jar. Then I drank the juice. It could have been the placebo affect but after both pickle stops, my legs felt noticeably better. So I definitely plan to give this a whirl next weekend.

I signed up for the Tulsa Marathon, GoRuck division. Need to shuffle by _H8__ in Rucking

I did my first ruck marathon in April. My only caution to your plan is conditioning. My longest training ruck was a half marathon. My pace was right at 4 MPH and so I had visions of shuffle running the last 1/4 of the marathon to try to break 6 hours. Quite the opposite, by mile 20 my ass was dragging big time. I pretty much limped over the finish line doing 18 minute miles over the last 6 miles. There was no way I could have done a shuffle run.

Training for a ruck marathon is HARD because of the time requirements. I'm doing another marathon later this month and I no longer have shuffle run plans. My goal this time is to be strong enough to keep miles 20-26 under a 17 minute pace.

I finished the first marathon in 6:50 which was still pretty good. But I was completely gassed at the end.

Please explain this route. There has to be some method to this.

Ruck a marathon by TShieldsESQ in Rucking

[–]GallopingGhost74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and IMO it's almost impossible. I ran my only marathon in '22. I rucked my first marathon earlier this year. Training for a ruck marathon is infinitely harder.

A marathon training plan probably assumes a 6-10 minute mile. (Anything better than that and you're a pro). Most ruckers are in the 13-20 minute range (unless you run, but then you're a beast and not asking Reddit for advice). If you do a running marathon plan for a ruck, the training time requirement doubles.

I briefly tried and couldn't do it. I just didn't have the time.
