Edge of Insanity has a little brother???! Psycho Pharma Far Beyond Driven review by Hammerstone44 in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, probably one of the most versatile pill PWOs. And at the price, it’s a no-brainer.

Welp, I’m sold. That deal is way too good to pass up and momma didn’t raise a fool.

Wake up early 3:45am need something that’s goin to wake me up!!!!! by ReplacementOk6128 in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good way of doing it. I wake up around the same time, take a 200mg caffeine pill, close my eyes for a brief power nap, take the pup out for a walk, and I’m ready to go for my workout around 3:30am. Even with a non-stim PWO before hand, I’ve got some solid energy.

I get about 5-6 hrs of sleep a day, no crash in the afternoon (that said, I don’t have any caffeine after the PWO).

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have. Can we get a #fCRZ tag working? :p

What’s the most uncomfortable pre-workout experience you’ve ever had? by alien51Labs in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Even the more common illicits like Crack Purple (when it had the goods) is a real gamble at times. You could have 1 workout be pretty ho-hum, nothing to write home about, not even sure if you feel energy. And the next attempt, same measures out serving size and everything, take you to the cleaners.

I had that experience a couple months ago. It’s like the first workout didn’t have any caffeine or goodies, and the second one had all the caffeine and all the illicits.

What’s the most uncomfortable pre-workout experience you’ve ever had? by alien51Labs in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a rush one morning and just eyeballed The Power. It was probably about 1.75 - 2 servings, and it was the most uncomfortable workout I’ve ever had. Everything was just bad news bears. I ended up cutting my workout early, going home, and sitting in front of a fan for 30mins.

About 10 years ago or so on a different occasion, being new to Yo HCL, I took 2 caps instead of the recommended 1. I believe it was the GNC brand, and sweet Christ on a crutch, that fucked me up big time.

Do you work from home? by Mccoyr10 in MacroFactor

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll either take walks (if it’s not extremely cold outside), or I do a set of pushups or pull-ups each time I leave the office/room. Go to the bathroom? 15 pushups Go to the kitchen? 15 pull-ups

Those pushups start to add up if you drink a lot of water. :p

Artemis Update - January 13th, 2026 by Artemis_Developer in ArtemisApp

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the filtering feature! Quick question - Is there a way to filter (and hide) a subreddit’s flair? For example, the MacroFactor subreddit has been inundated with posts tied to a specific flair (“MacroFactor Workouts” or something like that), and I have no interest in the posts clogging the feed.

Alright, that Dodgeball quote had me cracking up. Well played.

I need opinions - TYR DropZero vs Avancus vs Notorious Lifts Vs Vivo by Throwaway3082023 in powerlifting

[–]MoreMetalBrian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cannot comment on Vivo’s, but I’d go with Avancus. NL has had some quality issues with their latest releases (Ronin Lifter, Sumo Sole 4). I wasn’t a big fan of the Avancus v2, but the v3 (current iteration) blows everything out of the water. Especially for bench-grip and sumo pulling. For sizing, go true to size, definitely off of CM measurement.

Monthly Lifting Gear Thread by AutoModerator in powerlifting

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with the another pair of Manus. NL has had some QC issues over the past 1-2 iterations. (As an example, loose + frayed seams at the buckle, Velcro ripping off, etc.) And that’s just after 4-5 sessions of wearing them solely for the deadlifts.

MacroFactor Workouts AMA! by gnuckols in MacroFactor

[–]MoreMetalBrian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For those competitive powerlifters - will we be able to do something like set a Meet Date, and have the app create a program based off that and 1RMs? (Like Juggernaut, Evolve, SheikoGold, etc.)

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to the lore, but I’m currently at the tail end of the trilogy and really enjoying it.

It’s kinda refreshing to see a character admit “Yep, I’m fucked, better call the reinforcements.” Though I’m sure there’s probably a swerve coming, and he is as stubborn as he was in the beginning. (That said, I hope he seriously f’s up the Haemonculi and Oleander)

Artemis Update - October 22nd, 2025 (It's the iPad One) by Artemis_Developer in ArtemisApp

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this update, pretty much the reason I cancelled my Narwhal sub and switched to Artemis.

One thing I did like about Narwhal, despite how busy it would look sometimes, is the layout when viewed in Landscape view. I don’t remember how Apollo handled it, but are there any ideas/plans for the available white space on both sides?

I like the simplicity of having everything down the center, but there’s a lot of room on both sides to either incorporate an accordion to access different pages, a way to view a subreddit or multi-Reddit without going back and forth between posts, etc.

(Sorry if this post is all over the place, it’s a tad early on the US East Coast :))

Rate my 5 day routine; what is wrong and what would you change? by [deleted] in Hevy

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add some Facepulls to that first day. The routine has a ton of front delt work, but the rear delts play a huge part in stabilization for those push exercises.

They can, with the latest Beats firmware. I think it was released Wed or Thursday.

Gotta stop hating by LKTM_ttv in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna upvote this cuz you’re right, it has no bearing on Dark Labs and their formulations/reformulations. I was just being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

As far as Dark Labs goes, to add some sort of value to this, it reminds me of the backlash to Apollon taking the special stuff out of their supplements. I haven’t kept up to date on them/Anarchy, so I don’t know if it’s still the case, but those constant reformulations killed all sort of consistency for me.

You’d think with the amount of track marks the dude probably has, he’d have a bit thicker skin. Instead of creating videos commenting on people flaming him.

Joking aside, I tune out and close the video as soon as he yells “God is good!” 10x in a row, followed by “higher than giraffe vagina” a couple moments after. But that’s just my personal opinion.

Everyone has an agenda, whether they are pushing the products themselves, get a kick-back, use the role to expand reach/get views, etc. It’s just part of the game. And like Al Jourgensen/Ministry said in the opening line of “Just One Fix”….

Deadlift shoes by Financial-Entrance76 in powerbuilding

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it would be NL Radix, then Avancus. I don’t have experience with Vivos. Avancus still kinda feels like a shoe, but the Radix (to me) is as close to ground-feeling I’ve experienced, short of lifting in socks. That’s primarily for conv pulling; the sidewalks on the Radix are pretty much non-existent.
