I'm a new convert. Ordered a Model Y performance and it was taking too long to come in, so I did a several month search for low mileage Model S w/ HW4. Found a 12/2023 build date with 11K mi and had it shipped to me. Great price, easy process, so now my daily is a Model S. Great car, and I use FSD most of the time even in town. Just fantastic on road trips and takes driving from being a drudge to just chillin till you get to where you're going.

We're empty nesters now and other car is a big SUV. It is a good mix for us.

any thoughts on Mitch Rapp v. Scot Horvath v. Tier one series books?

Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 1/7/26 at 8:46 am

Title self explanatory. I've finished Jack Carr fiction books including Cry Havoc. Looking for similar - had a similar post a while back, trying to further narrow down. Thanks.

I definitely hope the kid comes back, but he has to, has to work on ball security. You can't have 3 fumbles for every 100 carries from your marquee RB. I mean, we've had stud runners that have gone seasons with no fumble on much higher carries. Again, I absolutely hope he comes back, but can't deny this is a concern.

wait, but the OM people said that Lane only calls a few "shock plays" every game and really doesn't have that much to do with the offense on a play to play basis.

Family fav of ours. Mom and Dad went there on special occasions when in med school in the '50's and when they would take us whenever we visited NOLA. Went there maybe a year or so ago when visiting - wife is from NOLA and it was her first time there believe it or not. Very sentimental for me. Pretty much like I remembered it from the 70's and 80's.

What are your goals that you’re trying to break through the plateau towards?

I let this thread lie for a couple of days and looked at the replies and realized I'm making the mistake of not really having a goal. Just going in there and working hard and trying for progressive overload. Not frickarounditis - I'm working hard, but no real goal per se.

Functional strength without injury and good metabolic health is what I'm looking for. I feel good about my grasp on the diet and that side of the equation is on cruise control, so that thakes care of the metabolic health part. Maybe I don't need to worry about progressive overload? Again, I'm not trying to get huge and that just isn't my body type anyway.

I reflected on that and thought, damn that was a stupid post that I made when I was frustrated after finishing a workout. Only goal is to look good and be fit, I'm happy with that, low body fat, good functional strength. I should probably concentrate on staying fit without pushing to injury, which I have a habit of doing.

You were the guy that got me back into the gym 4 years or so ago and introduced me to Greyskull and PPSA. I had a setback last summer with a torn meniscus I had surgery for in the fall followed by a tear in my lat from going ham on the upper body while I was out on leg work and basically took 7 months off of lifting and saw my gains nearly vanish. Corrected my diet and got back in the gym and feeling good again.

Both, though I don't need the commercial gym anymore. I keep a membership at Anytimefitness in my neighborhood because I know the owner and for when I travel.

I have at home a Rogue pullup bar mounted to the wall, a bench/rack setup with an olympic barbell, trap/hex bar with enought weight to do what I need, dumbells and treadmill.

I train these one day a week each (regular squats and quad bar dead lift). I don't push those too hard because back is dodgy.

I was surprised to come across an acknowledgement from Jack Carr at the end of one of his James Reece books. Apparently they share a mutual respect related to some shared experiences related to intelligence communities and (coming as a shock to me) conservative political beliefs.

57M 5'9" 147lbs. I'm on "my own plan" because I've just had to do what I've had to do to stay uninjured. I've had a litany of injuries over the last 3-4 years running Grayskull and various PPSA plans. I'm not trying to get jacked. I just want to be strong and healthy in my latter years and keep a nice aesthetic. I have good definition in chest, arms and abs from what you see below, not sure what to do from where I am now. No supplements othere than creatine 10 gm/d in split doses. Protein intake is 100-140 grams/d depending on schedule.

Here is my upper body routine:
Morning before leaving for work - weekdays only: Unweighted Pull ups 3 sets 10, Chin ups 3 sets 10, Pushups 6 sets 15. This is my no CNS fatigue get the blood flowing

3 upper lift days evenings:
Curl Bar curls 10@65, 8@70, 6@75, 6@80 (failure)
Weighted pullups 5@20# plate x 4
Shrugs 10@165 x 4
Yates Row 10@85 x 4
Pushups 20 x 4
Skull Krushers 6@70, 5@75, 4@80, 4@80 (failure)
Abs 12 sets 40 second leg raise holds

I have been stuck here the last two weeks...take a week off? reset at lower weights?

I can't do overhead press or bench because my left AC joint gets so inflammed (had a mumford procedure to clean out the joint and shorten the clavicle when I had labrum/RC surgery on right shoulder in 2015, I think my left AC joint needs cleaning out too).

You have to get lucky in any instance to have a chance with 4th and 2 from your own 14, but damn even if you get it, still have to drive the whole field essentially.

Punt the ball, maybe UGa muffs it, or you get a defensive stand, get the ball back and Ryan Williams goes 70 for a TD.

Again, chances dim any way, but that just put a fork in it.

Only down by 14 and go for it from your own 14 yard line?

Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 12/6/25 at 6:02 pm

I guess they wink-wink know they are in the playoff and doesn't matter how bad they get hammered. Win probability low either way, but just down 14 with the way anything can happen, I see that as reckless.

re: Why do people keep saying Kiffin will eventually leave LSU for Bama?

Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 12/2/25 at 10:03 am to Switchup91

Delusion...unless someone is from there. It is no better of a job than LSU and arguably not as good of a job. They are applying the Saban situation to Kiffin. My belief is that Saban would not have left LSU for another college job, and if the timing had not been as it was, would have readily returned instead of going to Tuscaloosa. Again, my opinion but that is based on things I've heard the man say, not any kind of insider info, just what he has said publilcly.

re: Anyone here taking creatine monohydrate on the regular?

Posted by BigPapiDoesItAgain on 12/1/25 at 10:31 am to Sassafrasology

57 y/o M - I take 10gm/d in two divided doses. Other than supplementing dietary protein and a probiotic, this is the only supplement I take. I feel like it helps in the gym and not sure with cognitive function as I havent' noticed any issues, but am taking it there as a preventative. I think it is a huge bang for the buck supplement in general.
