I know I gave everyone hell about sumo but even I have switched to sumo for my main pull. It's A LOT easier on the back and seems to carryover more so to my squats than conventional ever did.

Sometimes I take CJ to the park with me. I'll take him out of my pocket and watch the birds flock. Much cheaper than buying a loaf of bread.

I ran an experiment to see what adding 200mg of Masteron to my base TRT would do/feel like... Acne started flaring up, so I dropped it.

I'm thinking of trying the same thing. Acne has never been an issue with Mast for me/

I know I gave everyone hell about sumo but even I have switched to sumo for my main pull. It's A LOT easier on the back and seems to carryover more so to my squats than conventional ever did.

I for sure find value in both. I also find sumo carry over to my squat as well. But, when I talk about my max I normal refer to conventional when they ask just to keep people happy. Lol.
