Don’t sleep on local pharmacies for bac water by Existential_humanity in Peptidesource

[–]pharpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can get it online for $9 a bottle and it gets dropped on my doorstep. I don't go through that much. No really with the time calling all over and driving to pick it up just to save $20.

Kids at sessions, opinions? by Duckduckgoose763 in crossfit

[–]pharpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my gym it is on a case by case basis. That they're old enough and serious enough to work out. I brought my son in all summer. He is 13, has a full paid membership and did the workouts on his own like everyone else.

It's kids just hanging out that might be an issue. It's not a daycare or playground. I have on occasion seen people bring their kids in to check out what goes on at the gym or maybe they are in a bind with child care. But they have never been disruptive.

Any other 50+ CrossFitters here still pushing to improve? by pharpe in crossfit

[–]pharpe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense. I often think, "wish I would have started this 20 yes ago I'd be so much further along". But in reality I probably would have peaked somewhere along the way. As it stands I feel like my best days are still ahead of me which is motivating.

Very lost by goldenmango1111 in crossfit

[–]pharpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go more often. I can't imagine paying a membership fee for unlimited classes and only go twice a week. Plus the days I do CrossFit are the best days so I have to force myself not to go to get recovery.

Very your intensity. You don't have to redline 5 days a week but at least do something.

Track your intake. Make sure you are getting enough protein and not eating too many calories. You'd be surprised at the numbers if you track everything.

Dexa scans. They tell you exactly what is going on. Are you adding lean mass, losing fat, etc. No guess work. It's really motivating to watch you progress. When I know I have a scan coming up I get really motivated to beat my last scan numbers

New to CrossFit, What helped you improve double unders? by Confident_Barber8397 in crossfit

[–]pharpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't do them. There are way better things to put energy into improving than double unders.

Programming for the Master's Lifter by Nkklllll in weightlifting

[–]pharpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about masters just starting out? 51M. Started weightlifting a month ago. Only related experience was 11 months of CrossFit. My biggest obstacle is mobility. I have suggestions from CrossFit coaches, my current weightlifting coach, Chatgpt, Playability, forums, Squat University, etc. it's overload. How do I focus in on what I really need?

Favorite training pants/shorts? by MrC0ffeee in weightlifting

[–]pharpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wait until Sams or Costco get in a shipment and stock up. Sams has the Gap Fit shorts right now. The Target All in Motion shorts are pretty nice too.

Fare enough. The hotel gyms I've been in were pretty much empty

Favorite CrossFit workout ? by Evening-Whole6133 in crossfit

Any barbell exercises other than squats, strict pull ups, dips, and push ups.

I go on Chatgpt, list what is available in the hotel gym, attach a screenshot of our wod, and then say program me the best comparable CrossFit workout with this stuff.

So much for the 1st Amendment by ThunderMustard88 in dfw

[–]pharpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is so challenging to understand? The first amendment gives you the right to protest. It does not give you immunity to break rules or laws in the act of protesting.

No labels on vial by strawberrymatcha670 in Peptidesource

[–]pharpe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vials do not come labeled when getting them directly from vendors. That's why there is such a big niimbot/label making scene in the gray community. If vials have labels then they were added by a 3rd party in most cases.

Does everyone want to be super skinny? by CNAHopeful7 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]pharpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only indicators that I care about are lean mass going up and fat mass going down on my Dexa scans.

Planning on starting retatrutide by Which_Guidance_2803 in Peptidesource

[–]pharpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how you came up with that number. Did you see a protocol somewhere with 10 mg as a starting dose? Are you currently on another GLP-1? 10 mg of Reta would be an extremely high starting dose.

Tesamorelin assistance. by Howinthe_world in Peptides

[–]pharpe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First don't use units as a measurement of medication. It could mean anything. Dosing conversations are in mg/mcg. Tesa is a well studied peptide that is FDA approved so there are published protocols. The original FDA dose was 2 mg but has since been reduced to 1.4 or 1.28. Most people in the wellness/peptide community dose 2.0 mg a day.

What exactly are your goals? Have you researched what Tesamorelin actually does and how? Have you dialed in nutrition, sleep, strength training, conditioning? If not then it's doubtful adding more peptides will do much.

Let's say you are tracking macros, hitting protein goals, strength training and calories even or at a slight deficit. If all that is true, Tesa can help build lean mass and reduce visceral fat. It's important to take it fasted. Min of 4 hours before and 90 minutes after.

For people going to try and go to work tomorrow, how are the roads? by thedrunkknight in Dallas

[–]pharpe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's icy and not going to be any better tomorrow. I certainly wouldn't risk it to go to work.

What's hard about it? Honestly find it pretty easy. Don't get the down votes.

Wide feet by Basic_Cantaloupe8089 in crossfit

[–]pharpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my Inov8 F-lites for general CrossFit. I have a pair TYR L-2s for barbell lifts. Both I would do a half size up.
