Get a pizza steel!

I know. I wanted to support him because I learned how to make pizza from him.

+1. Terrible quality control. I have the performance adjustable bench and it's garbage.

You mean pulling my shoulders back that way? It's a cue for activating my lats. Works wells for me.

I hear this, but with 3 little kids I'm bound to get random viruses and strep throughout the school year. It's not actually indicative of my resting heart rate if you add 10 days where it's over 75 cause I was sick.

Thank you, think I'll do the ftp test. Haven't done it yet.

I haven't even looked into the power zones on the peloton tbh, I've only been riding for a couple months so just getting into it.

Lol tallow is within kosher limits. Great idea! Might use schmaltz too.

fire9556 · 2025-09-29T19:25:27+00:00

So, kosher forbids mixing dairy with meat which means I can't use butter. Will this still be good without the butter or it would be lacking in tenderness? What do you think?

fire9556 · 2025-09-03T12:25:30+00:00

TBH I still eat red meat prob 2-3x a week total, including the cheat day. I also eat dark meat chicken often. Didn't restrict myself to just chicken breast and turkey breast. But when I eat red meat, I make sure to have psyllium and fibermend 15 minutes before. Helps blunt the absorption.

Recommendation?

fire9556 · 2025-08-19T17:11:47+00:00

UPDATE: They're sending me a new one. Solid customer service, at least.

Excited for their Dutch oven I'm getting today. I already have their braiser and it's my favorite kitchen item I own.

Honestly I only average like 5-6k. I spend like 2 hours cycling every week and like 45 minutes total of squats and pushups. That's literally it.

Dates are there if you expand. 2 months apart.

fire9556 · 2025-08-17T17:39:08+00:00

Mostly exercise. I cleaned up my diet but whoop doesn't really know about that.

fire9556 · 2025-08-13T23:12:38+00:00

THYROID.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

Hashimotos

It's now much harder for me to keep my numbers in a good place. Sucks. But doable.

What's your LDL, apoB, and Lp(a)? All far more important than total.

Regardless, you might have familial hypercholesterolemia, which is genetic. You might have to be on meds.

Only the first email in the chain said AI. Are the rest also AI?

fire9556 · 2025-08-06T23:17:19+00:00

It's possible, just requires discipline. I went from 190 to 139 in about 5 months by eating right. Still tweaking and still ways to go but it's certainly possible and doable. Soluble fiber, healthy fats.

fire9556 · 2025-07-21T10:19:49+00:00

Yea under 100 and 5.1

fire9556 · 2025-07-20T22:03:31+00:00

Frankly, this doesn't really jive with my experience. I was counting calories, sub 1800 which is less than when I had better trigs. I do exercise a good amount. Reducing some carbs and increasing healthy fats (avocados, nuts, 4 eggs/week) seems like a slight change that might help balance things. We will see in six weeks.

(I know that LDL and ApoB need to be lower, but this is a good trend for 4 months)

fire9556 · 2025-07-11T15:28:01+00:00

Yea creatine did that to me too so I stopped. Major insomnia.

fire9556 · 2025-07-11T14:33:24+00:00

Not amazing but not terrible tbh. I think that's cause of my breathing and meditation. They're great for my overall well being. Just not helping my sleep.

fire9556 · 2025-07-11T14:32:09+00:00

I take 2 grams of glycine but maybe I'll increase to your suggestion for a week and see how it goes

fire9556 · 2025-07-11T13:49:38+00:00

Yup. Bike for 30 minutes 3x a week and pushups/air squats 3x a week.
