I'm off all cows milk at the moment mainly due to skin issues that it causes which includes any form of whey. I do get sinus issues a bit more when I have a lot of dairy too but it's more the milk that's the issue. Anyway, just got an order of Pea and Rice protein from Bulk Nutrients called Earth Protein. It's chocolate flavour and aside from tasting like the earth itself it seems to be doing the goods. I've had egg white protein before which was super eggy, have looked at beef protein and some other non whey options but this is my first time trying it out.

Anyone else gone away from whey?

yup I have as well (cut out all dairy), for the last 2 months or so.

my 5k PR came the week I ditched all dairy, seemed like I got a nice boost in how good I felt shortly after ditching it (or just coincidence).

i've substituted almond milk, makes my stomach/body feel pretty amazing.. really agrees with me it seems. It's not a real substitute from a protein pov though, just from something milky to drink pov. Settles my stomach nicely. For protein, just eating more chicken now.

interesting though about dairy and your skin issues.. just doesn't seem worth ingesting something that is causing "adverse reactions", seems like you made the right move.

if that dude is legit built and lean, then haters gonna hate, lol 

yup..

it's like adarq driving internet people insane with quarter squats back in the day. it was working for him, so he gave no fucks.

yup x 2

there's some beauty in being 'dumb' and simply training hard/heavy.. IMHO, it's a decent recipe for success. Another reason I wouldn't knock partial ROM routines, especially if it looks like it's working for someone. There's even more beauty in being intelligent and training hard/heavy using ROM's that give you the most results.

People hated my half squats with a passion.. my 225 x 45 off pins @ ~150 lb has tons of dislikes, r u kidding me? LMFAO. That's impressive AF and that's a fact. But the ROM really annoys people. I think if you find yourself genuinely annoyed with someone elses ROM, you need to "realize it" and then try to snap yourself out of letting it get to you. I mean my brain does stuff like that all the time and I tell it to STFU.

5 plates without a warmup sounds like a bad idea, but maybe he watched my "resting max" training videos? I'd never do that stuff again, that's for sure.. it was a combined success/failure experiment, just too mentally taxing to go from 0 to max (5RM) on squat.

The walking into the gym smoking thing is pretty funny tho.. tons of water fountain breaks sounds like a good thing, guy is recovering and getting in some h2o.

Gyms are great.. Haven't been to one in a long time but, really feels like you are out on a safari watching animals do weird shit.

Anyway, giving no fucks is great. Props to any1 who gives no fucks.

15 dips @ +3 reps, beastmode PR.

Well, it wasn't a 'PR by 3 reps'. It was a PR tie and a 3 reps improvement from last week's last set, but that last week on my first set i got 15 that set the PR. Still awesome and thanks!

ya i knew you'd correct me.. intended on editing my post but didn't lmfao!

regardless, still strong! ties PR so, get that 16 in the next few weeks

all-time PR is surrious. 

Thanks! Yes, it is great to finally reach some kind of squat PR again. I think i have similar weights logged but they were not true ATG, they were 'as low as i can get in the (fixed height pins ) cage'. This year every single set is done outside the cage.
