It’s for mental health. I am just experimenting. I don’t know if I’m sold yet. It does induce an improved mood/more positive outlook. The 2 on 2 off is so that you don’t develop a tolerance for it and have to continually increase the dose.Microdose of psilocybin (2 days on, 2 off) is interesting. Do you take it for mood elevation? Does it help recovery? Also why 2 on 2 off? Not familiar with microdosing at all.
@ajg223 psilocybin works for mood elevation but you need to do micro dosing like 3-4 times per day, low doseIt’s for mental health. I am just experimenting. I don’t know if I’m sold yet.

Consider yourself lucky then. I’ve been battling depression most of my life.Never needed a mood enhancer
I can definitely relate to the depression. It is incredibly hard to talk about, especially in person.Thanks guys for the support. I was always embarrassed about it, but then I realized it’s part of who I am. Around that time I quit using drugs and alcohol and starting exercising. I had never lifted a weight before I turned 30.
I didn’t mean to make this about mental health and I wasn’t attempting to shame or make @Mobster feel bad. He has been more helpful than he knows in my journey.
@ajg223 you're not the only one with addictions problems broThanks guys for the support. I was always embarrassed about it, but then I realized it’s part of who I am. Around that time I quit using drugs and alcohol and starting exercising. I had never lifted a weight before I turned 30.

Joe Rogan raves about micro dosing. Also listened to a podcast saying it helps veterans with PTSD and CTE (it’s supposed to help with brain inflammation associated with CTE). Not medical advise, just listening to podcasts.It’s for mental health. I am just experimenting. I don’t know if I’m sold yet. It does induce an improved mood/more positive outlook.

@ajg223 take it slow dont do anything too heavy or too much for 4 weeksGot back in the gym today. Using this week as a rest/deload week. Going to be away for the 4th and not sure what the gym situation will be. Might be able to drop into to a couple CrossFit classes. Did only upper body today. Might try some really light weight lower body stuff tomorrow. Not really looking to tear my sac open. No pain to speak of but stitches haven’t healed completely.

Doctor’s instructions were simple. Listen to your body. If it hurts, stop. Put no actual restrictions on me. I asked specifically about lifting and playing golf.It definitely listen to the doctor on this and go very light
maybe some swimming? Or some walking

I’m back on intermittent fasting. Usually 14-16 hour fasts. This week hasn’t been great as cleanliness of diet. BBQ’s, a couple meals out, and occasional ice cream at night. Not enough to totally derail me but need to tighten it back up Monday. If I am going to get the abs I want, I need my diet to be nearly perfect.

I don’t feel that big, but I have been around people I haven’t seen in 6+ months and literally more than ten people have commented on “how much time I must be spending in the gym.” I feel kinda bad that it’s due to being on gear, but also feel better about my physique than I ever have.
