Slow cook with cottage cheese. Keeps it moist and extra protein with chicken roast seasoning. So yum
NAD
Been seeing more and more of people taking NAD and it's reverse aging effects. I'm sceptical. Any recommendations or info anyone wants to share?

The product I'm asking about is NAD not NAC. Believe they are 2 different things from what iv read
Posture
I recently went to the chiropractor and got the old, your spine is out of alignment from heavy lifting speech. My head is forward, I'm hunched over and my pelvis is anteriorly rotated. But if perfect alignment was the be-all and end-all of performance, how did Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps reach the top of elite sport? Because “perfect posture” is context-dependent. The body isn’t fragile, and it’s not stupid. More often than not, it instinctively finds the most efficient position to complete the task. That might not look clean or symmetrical—but it works. Sometimes that path isn’t pretty and far from biomechanical perfection. Yet these athletes perform at insane levels. Chasing textbook posture at the expense of comfort, output, or how you actually train? Dumb move. Stop treating posture like it's some holy grail. Function beats aesthetics, especially under load or in performance settings.

As you can see from my progress photos how much I lean and my pelvis is tilted. My posture is shit and I do kinda think it plays a huge in why my lower back is in constant pain/aching. Love going to the chiro weekly. I tell them not to be soft lol. Scared the new girl the other day how much she got out of me lol.
Banded Hip Thrusts
If you're slapping a resistance band around your thighs during hip thrusts or glute bridges, thinking it’s the key to well-rounded glute gains, I’ve got news for you silly sally—it’s probably not helping. A new study measured muscle activity in trained lifters performing barbell hip thrusts and glute bridges, both with and without bands. The idea is that adding a band increases demand on the glute medius (the muscle on the side of your hips) through hip abduction, giving you that "side booty" pop. But it didn’t work. The research showed that bands did not increase glute medius activation at all. In fact, during glute bridges, medius activity actually decreased. And while bands did slightly increase activation in the upper glutes, the boost was minimal. Hip thrusts already provide excellent activation for both the upper and lower glutes, so the added band work isn’t moving the needle in any meaningful way. In fact Lifters using bands had to reduce their loads by around 20 kg (45 pounds). That’s a significant hit to force output, which is critical for driving the muscle tension needed to stimulate hypertrophy. The researchers concluded that bands “cannot be recommended,” at least not for heavy lifting. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373976651_Effects_of_Band-Resisted_Abduction_on_Muscle_Activity_between_the_Barbell_Hip_Thrust_and_Barbell_Glute_Bridge#:~:text=The%20results%20indicated%20four%20significant,compared%20to%20non%2Dbanded%20conditions
