I'm going to try a higher protein diet to see if I get stronger or even bigger at this age (46). I think I will try to start lifting bigger weights here soon too. nothing less than 8 reps minimum.

Nut, give 5x5s a try.

Nothing. I spent the day studying for finals and writing papers. I was bummed. I plan on throwing some beef and other meat products in a skillet with my favorite vegetables. It's what happens to be in the house.

it's beef that you have never ever had in North America. People may have been fooled into believing they are eating Kobe beef, but it's impossible. No Japanese beef, let alone Kobe, is exported into North America, it's illlegal. All those cute menu items that claim to be Kobe, Wagyu or any other type of Japanese beef are lies. There are groups in the US that raise cattle and call them wagyu or American Wagyu or American Kobe because they can get away with stealing trademarks but it's just an American cow, it might even be better than Kobe, it all depends on ones taste right?

*edit... until September of this year. Wow Thnik, I didnt know that it was allowed now. Cool.
