    Intro

    Hello, I go by Tom. I read it was proper etiquette to post an intro after lurking for a bit. I am a former wrestler and I work in the military. I do well on all our physical fitness tests and have a reputation for being the gym guy among my peers but I feel like I fall short- I'm never quite as...

    What should I look for in a pre-workout? Any suggestions for a newbie?

    I see the usual caffeine, creatine, amino acids, BCAA, etc. But are there certain ingredients that make a pre-workout better than the rest? When I go to GNC, I see like 100 bottles on the shelf and have no clue where to start. Any favorites out there to recommend to a new bodybuilder?

    Hi! Newbie here to introduce myself :)

    Hey everyone! 32 y/o F. I started training in 2015 but had no idea wtf I was doing. Typical story. Cardio bunny. Under-eating. Same old stuff. I hovered around 115-120 for most of my 20's but was super soft and "skinny fat". I'd say my views on training and nutrition changed in 2018 when I...

    I everyone, I'm obviously brand new to this board. Stumbled upon this while reading up on SST. Looks like this is a good community of people and not a bunch of nonsense. I'm 33/m and on TRT. Been lifting for about 2 years and went from 275lbs to 220 before starting trt. Still cutting down as my...
