Prescription. They aren't hard to get. A guy I go to the gym with got a prescription maybe 2 years ago. His progress once he got on it is just crazy and he says he feels way better.

So read the ingredients on the O.N. Gold Standard and soy as on the list. Low but still on it.I've tried the more expensive stuff, but keep going back to the Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey from Costco. Tastes great, dissolves in warm as well as cold, made in USA from USA milk.
Pro tip, always get vanilla then you can make it whatever flavor you want.
Going to try the Jocko Molk. I will let you know.

jocko i have been using for a few years. havent used the powder since the ready to drink ones came out, because i am lazy. got the wife on them as well since she eats like a bird.
peanutbutter chocolate is good, toss it in the freezer for a bit and its close to a milkshake even with water. i would also mix the banana and chocolate peanut butter. mint chocolate chip was ok, never got behind the vanilla or chocolate. kids like the strawberry. never tried the pumpkin spice.
anyone experiencing muscle knots that cause random pains and general discomfort other places? my upper back and shoulders are creating all kinda of discomfort from being tight after my push and pull days. using a baseball to put pressure on the knots helps, but cant really get my shoulders and neck well.
was poaching some massages on the wifes membership account thing since she had a ton of credits from covid, but thats no more. i suspect there were a bunch of people like my wife with banked credits so they changed names, increased prices, wont let you transfer credits and a bunch of other BS.

I've got "mouse shoulder" and "tennis elbow" in addition to tightness/knots you speak of.
Sometimes I'm aching from right fingers all the way up my arm up my shoulder blade into my neck. Seems to depend on sleep, computer usage and alcohol consumption.
Weighted Chins and overhead press seem to help me the most, deadlift helps some and bench a little bit.
Throughout the day at work i do various pressing and raising movements with a band.

Stretch more. Those muscles are spending more time flexed than extended.

That thing is money. Been using it daily and feel 100% better.
I finally got off my ass to do something structured so I finally got the StrongLifts app installed. On my 3rd week of its lifting schedule. Just Following what the app says to do. Should be neat to see how long I can keep adding 5#’s. It seems stupid to use the 2.5# plates but I’ll trust the system

you'll hit that plateau a lot sooner than you thought you would.
Don't feel bad about the 2.5s all the guys who know their shit at the gym understand.
Get squat shoes. Squatting 3x a week will take its toll on you if your not doing it right.

In a couple months you’ll wish you’d gotten your shit together five or six pages ago instead of waiting until now.

Stretch, more/better/differantly
I just recently learned how to stretch my upper central back. Really helped me

Also, I laugh at your 2.5 plate skepticism. I’ve got .25’s, .5’s, 1’s, and 1.25’s. Maybe some .75’s somewhere.

Do you use them?

All of what he said. As for squat shoes. I've found anything with a nice stiff and flat sole works. Current shoes are some vans with the OG sole in them- the new comfortable style are no good. Prior to that I was using fiveten spitfires, but fiveten doesn't make that style of shoe anymore.

I use the shit outta 2.5s. Only way to bump up in 5# increments. Stronglifts can get intense. Each trip to the gym you're adding weight, until one day you'll barely make it through that last set of 5. Then as you're leaving the gym, you're suddenly wondering how the hell you're gonna pull off adding those wimpy little 2.5s the next time and somehow, the next trip you barely pull it off again.

Progress is progress. I use 1.25’s and 2.5’s all the time. Going up two and a half pounds on overhead press is better than failing to go up five pounds. The little stuff I’ve used to progress on curls and stuff like that, but mostly is for my daughters.

What don't you like about them?
It's hard to find shoes with a hard sole. Converse used to be the go to lift shoe but the soles are squishy now. I have Nike lift shoes.
There are times when I'm on my 3rd set like 2 reps in and I'm wondering to myself how can 5 lbs hold me down so hard. Feels good getting through it though.

Yeah, squats suck. But what are you going to do, not do your fucking squats?

I need this written on my wall. Maybe in the "live, laugh, love" font.

Not that I am pushing crazy numbers, but I have banned 2.5s. If I can’t put on 5 more each side, I need to just rep more of less weight. Just how I approach it unless a super light lift.

I regret doing strong lifts first,
I discovered starting stentth and made more progress on 3x5 after plateau on 5x5’s
5x5’s is intermediate programming
Minimum effective dose
Ive gotten to where i like squatting in some weird way, confidence builder
2.5 and 1.25 really come in handy for ohp

The form, I never liked it, I enjoy lifting every form and muscle but that. I don’t view a high squat as being in shape or strong. I’m not impressed with big numbers or high reps. That strength is the least useful in daily life. There is useful in shape and then there is the squat… useless. Might be the highest risk to injury of all other normal lifting, just guessing that.
I do lunges, quads, calves, hamstrings and ride mountain bike.
