It's $9.99 but it's probably the best 10 bucks I've ever spent. Definitely the best app purchase I've ever made.

I personally didn't like the metcons for running, they were fine for lifting. but even just doing treadmill and bike i felt uncomfortable
I'd check out the Nobull shoes

Thanks. Only thing that concerns me is that I have narrow feet, and folks seems to be saying that the Nano/Nobull have a large toebox.

idk about the newer metcons but the metcon 2s had a large toebox as well.
I think they all do and theyre designed that way for abreason. But i could be wrong.[/QUOTE]

Anybody use a TENS unit? I’ve been using one for a few years and it helps me recover so much faster.

Ambrosia Planta. The maple French toast flavor
Never tried it but I heard it’s good in terms of being a vegan protein powder

TrueNutrition got plant based protein powders that taste fine to me.
I go with a custom 70:30 mix of pea to rice protein with added vanilla flavor.
I just mix it with water alone.

I ran 5 3 1. I made gainz until about 6 months in.
It’s not enough volume for me.

I gotta say I was schleep in lulu.
Just copped some pants and shorts from there. I gave up on jeans a long time ago. Even the athletic cuts fit like trash.
Copped some abc slim pants and shorts. They fit perfect and have free hemming on length.
The lady said they test their fit on hockey player and cross fit bros so it makes sense.

I have for the better part of the last 3 1/2 years. AMA.
Maybe you coulda kept going if you added more volume? I always felt the vanilla templates were always uber-low volume-wise.

Yeah volume does look mad low...
I must just try basic game 5 x 5 to start out.
I think doing cardio (running + boxing approx 40 mins) pre lifting has put a dent in my already modest numbers.
That and some structural issues.

Is there much point to lifting when you're just maintaining? I basically been doing this for years, I can't stand the "bulking" phase even if it's a lean bulk. Hate feeling puffy and pudgy but also getting tired of spinning wheels

You can build strength on a caloric maintenance and even a deficit (relative strength usually).
Strength and muscle also go hand in hand so to answer your question, yes.
Been feeling sick so today’s workout was brutal.

I take it you and
mplsdunk
haven't read Wendler's books? The reason I ask is that there are endless ways to modify 5/3/1 to be higher volume, either author-endorsed or not.If you get your info from what you read online (like the T-Nation article), then I could really see why you'd say that.
FWIW, all of my programming when not running Squat Erryday is based on 5/3/1 and nobody has ever accused it of being "low-volume".
