4 pounds lost over the weekend, dropping water with the Mast. 6 more still the ticket?

@Aloha_Peak_Rx Island time allows this

I love straps. Versa Gripps have been my favorite for years.

But when I started this cut, I intentionally stripped away anything I felt like I was becoming dependent on.

That meant pump products, L-carnitine, straps...pretty much everything except the basics.

So far, grip hasn't been the limiting factor in my training. Instead, my forearms and grip strength have noticeably improved.

The reality is that dedicated grip training is usually one of the first things to disappear when life gets busy. Taking the straps away solved that problem automatically.

I'll bring the straps back during my growth phase, when moving the most weight matters more. For now, I'm enjoying forcing my grip to catch up.

Anyone else cycle straps like this, or do you use them year-round?

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@PowersStonks Yeah, the design is unmatched for sure, very convenient.

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@Johngriffin805 Cardio days, rest days, even just sitting at your desk is a great time to do grip training.

I feel similar about core, less so calves, but overall I don’t see any issue with how you have that

Still beating 90% of us doing all those exercises in a dedicated time at all

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@BalaamAndDonkey This is a good point I hadn't considered- I don't do a ton of dangerous compound lifts that I would use them on.. but good to keep in mind

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@FowardAssist There certainly is benefit to adding and subtracting factors by the workout rather than just on/off for an extended period of time

I have a hard time going in not fully optimized, but its good practice to mix those in

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

I bet you've got some juicy forearms

And based on the goals you've described in the past, that is probably more important to you than getting bigger anyways

I would suggest trying them sometime- just because you might be shocked at how much you can actually lift, even if it's just for fun

I say this in direct contradiction to my message- but since I've experienced both I feel somewhat dialed into what it feels like with and without

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

Feelin cute- might fuck around and quit my day job idk

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@FonzFit mo particles mo problems

Whenever I talk with someone who took steroids not that many years ago, the story is always similar. They got a mysteriously sourced vial or collection of pills from Ricky at golds gym who recommended they take 4 a day for 2 months. Many people got messed up it seems. Even the best advice available from people with real experience wasn’t great

We’ve entered a golden age of information coupled with and easier and more reliable access to the compounds.

Dad’s up big time.

@Ironhands57 @tywoosley23 Great job Ian, you look incredible up there

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@EmilyFunX oh you know it Emily

@tonymission If that was the case you just go for the underground anon phenotype, could work pretty well

Good thing we're handsome

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

Getting jacked is literally my job.

I mean, I don't get paid for it. And nobody told me to do it... and it actually costs me a lot of money

But aside from those minor details it is literally my job.

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@Fett533 @nickcpicks Dang, that's a show to remember

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@DigitalFringed1 I've been an Oikos zero man, but purely out of habit

I'm going to have to give these a shot

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@TribeTrenAgain when you say it it just hits different pal

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@Akxyl_ Ah- just to be clear, this was from when I was bulking. Deep into the cut now, should be finished soon. 40 pounds gone, but most of them were the right pounds.

But no can't stop won't stop

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

I miss bulking.

Almost done with this cut. 3-4 weeks out.

That's when some of my clients are wrapping up too.

Excited to share pics of all of it.

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@Akxyl_ 😂 whats that specifically?

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@BodyRecompExprt but people couldn't stop us if they tried 🤜🤛

[Brian @MogLifeLabs]

@H2KMFer and wouldn't change a thing 🤝
