I think that's a sensible goal. Let's do it.The goal right now, is probably update pics at 180lbs.
I wanted KLOW, but didnt quite have enough to go with the reta aswelk, so settled for GLOW.i just started KLOW and this stuff works great. i bruised up my foot really bad it was swollen. and i pinned 2mgs in my foot 3x the past week and my foot feels amazing now.
i do drop sets towards the end of my workouts
Im not far away.I think that's a sensible goal. Let's do it.
Read to see if theres anything i might use myself etc.Nice to see that
only difference just for others wondering is the GLOW doesn't have the KPV.I wanted KLOW, but didnt quite have enough to go with the reta aswelk, so settled for GLOW.
Nice, i can't wait to upgrade from straight BPC see how it helps with cardio for me.
I usually drop set every exercise, usually starting at the 5-7 range but i might try 8-10 before dropping this time
some days we just cant do it and things go in a mess1/25/26
Update: unfortunately something came up when it was time for lifting in the evening. Couldve caught the last bus but id have to cross a fairly long stretch of hwy bridge with snow piled up on side walks on walk home after leg day. Sucks but itll have to be tomorrow morning.
I imagine my weight will rebound a couple lbs returning to a proper diet.
Tomorrow aiming for 2hr cardio, probably 30min treadmill warm up. Then stairmill for a bit with a rest/cool down. Finish out the 2hr after the break and then legs. Dropset everything.
Ran out of multi's today. Ill get around to getting some.

Nice man, make sure that you do that. It will make life easier on yourself.Thats what im doing tomorrow. Pullin a few chickens out to thaw tonight, think ill stay with pasta for a while yet.
Yeah i started adding in my previous weights as well. I have records back to march i think? I had got down to 175 before. But i lost muscle in that cut because my calorie deficit was too much.How good is it seeing your weight displayed that way, your killing it brother!
My biggest problem is forgetting to take meat out. But i have an entire cupboard of glass meal preps now so its easier to do bulk.Nice man, make sure that you do that. It will make life easier on yourself.

Heres til august. You can tell where i may have been a tad spotty on hitting the gym and a clean diet was not on the table. Lmao

You mean to defrost it? A good trick with that is to put the meat in some hot water and run some water over it. That will defrost it quicker and also, for red meat, you don't have to worry so much about defrosting it. As long as you slice it thin, it will cook thoroughly.My biggest problem is forgetting to take meat out. But i have an entire cupboard of glass meal preps now so its easier to do bulk.
Yeah, the graphs a huge motivator now.The good part is that you can see more consistently going down than up, keep it up brother
I generally defrost a chicken at a time in a pot, but ill 3 or 4 out and put in fridge, so they all thaw. If its a big roast, ill usually leave it in fridge to thaw if its in butcher paper.You mean to defrost it? A good trick with that is to put the meat in some hot water and run some water over it.

good day steady training too1/19/26
Update: So i got new insoles for my running shoes, it helped a bit but today both feet were numb to the same degree as before insoles. I played around with my posture while walking on the treadmill. The numbness lessens when i lean forward while walking instead of a standing straight, as well as its much less on the stairmill. This leads me to think theres some minor L5/S1 nerve root compression or inflammation/sensitivity from compression from when symptoms started weeks ago.
Ill be removing treadmill from cardio line up and replacing with recumbent bike.

Felt fine at 300g carbs, but that was out of range for me. Ive been hovering around the same as protein intake give or take usually.how do you feel on the higher carbs? @Shakey I would think a bit more fat and less carbs better for you
awesomeFelt fine at 300g carbs, but that was out of range for me. Ive been hovering around the same as protein intake give or take usually.
I had a few low cal days in a row (sub 185) and felt exhausted.
Fat is usually between around 80g to 90g with the odd day below or above. I general lean trim my meats, skin whole chickens etc.
Ive added all my supps back in, except caffeine and green tea. My reflux has calmed down quite a bit with pepcid added daily in addition to the supp cut. Ita not ED or EOD anymore.
Ill probably aim to keep them just a bit higher than protein, its working good. Ive stalled on the scale a bit but the clothes are still getting looser.awesomelets see how you do long term on higher carbs if you have them up

Yeah, the only tweaks ill generally make is what food ill eat every now and then. ld say my diets more a bit unstable macro wise instead of getting tweaks. Im not very strict on getting the "exact nutrition needed". I think if i was too strict diet wise, id probably have more difficulty sticking to a clean diet.Dietary tweaks can be quite small rather than need to be dramatic
Thanks bud, i actually tried an old favourite of mine a while back, just before christmas. Basically spit it out, couldnt believe i used to eat that. The effect was multiplied by getting my taste back from quiting smoking then.@Shakey nice man, I can definitely tell you're doing a good job and a better job at avoiding the process junk. That's what I like to see: the good quality food being consumed.
Absolutely love the burn from reverse curls. I was using those fixed weight barbells(not EZ curl). Love em for quick dropsets. I used the 60lb as the second weight on both curls probably around an avg of 6 reps on top so i got a decent total for each set.Bros, good job on this. Reverse curls are very good, 90 lb and 5 reps. Not bad on the reverse curls. That's pretty good on the drop set. @Shakey
Deffinitely, just hit 182.8lbs this morning. Ive been using the same belt for a very long time. Im on the second last of my homemade holes in the belt from probably 10 or more years ago. I need new pants. My gym shorts almost cant hold my phone in my pocket there so loose now.The way is definitely going in the right direction. You're definitely getting leaner. @Shakey hopefully once you lean up enough, you can start building back lean muscle mass.
Thanks man, im almost at 180lbs. I think 170lb might be 12% BF for me. Im pretty skinny. I should be around 19% at the moment.@Shakey keep up the good work on this. It's looking really good. The weight is definitely going in the right direction. You're going to have great results.

Also i lift right after cardio im not sure i can handle fasted lifting. I might have to split it into 2 gym visits, because im there for atleast 2.25hrs plus bus rides both ways. Id be crazy starving.
I bet, i eat about 0.5 to 1 hr before cardio, otherwise i feel completely gassed halfway through workout.It's going to be a little weird training fasted the first two or three weeks but once your body adjusts, trust me, you won't want to work out any other way.

Awesome updates mate! Look at that weight loss! I love seeing it plotted like that over a decent timeframe.1/21/26
Update: Full dropset routines for now, went for heavier initial weights today. Most triple dropsets ended up around 12 to 15 total reps.

Yeah the graphs great, keeps me going.Awesome updates mate! Look at that weight loss! I love seeing it plotted like that over a decent timeframe.
From these training updates it looks like your doing Chest+Back, Shoulders+Arms and then I assume Legs? How many days a week?
I think you are doing too many exercises per sessions. If I look at the first one you've got the following: dips, incline bench, flys, machine chest press, pull ups, barbell row, cable row, pulldowns, back extensions, stiff legged deadlifts and crunches. That's 9 big exercises and some others. Then on the shoulders and arms day you do 6 exercises for delts, 3 for tri's and 2 for bi's.
Yeah ok that's a good split. I see that a fair bit with the PPL and then the Arnold style for the following three days. When I was starting out I did that Arnold split 6 days a week. I actually think the high volume and frequency work well initially. I think it definitely has a limited shelf life though. As you get stronger and can push harder it will lead to overtraining. But it's probably ok for the first 6 months or so. My guess is that when you are new, your CNS / neural drive is very inefficient so the high volume is not very taxing and the high frequency helps. Neural adaptions (strength increases) actually occur quicker than muscle increases initially. So just keep an eye out on recovery. Mainly look at progression in weights/ reps and if you are feeling fatigued and/or sleeping poorly.Yeah the graphs great, keeps me going.
Im doing push pull legs rest torso shoulders/arms legs rest. So if i make every day its 6 out 8 days lifting. Though the last week has been spotty for various reasons, i need to get back to my early morning groove.
I usually do 3 for biceps as well but had to catch last bus.
I honestly like the volume. I was down to 3 exercises for chest and lats but was happy to be back so threw in an extra for each. How would you adjust my torso day?
I usually keep an eye on fatigue. I pulled cardio back from 2hrs to around 1hr as the fatigue was stacking and i started burning out. As for my drop set routines, im moving into a few full weeks of dropsets then back to regular sets to let the body recover.Yeah ok that's a good split.

Can you explain your reps. I see it says triple drop. How are you structuring your sets?
Bros, you gotta feel the burn for sure.Damn right
Doing full dropset leg day for the burn right now broski. Could barely walk to the leg extension after dropset zirchers and lunges. LolBros, you gotta feel the burn for sure.
bros drop sets is where they're at.Doing full dropset leg day for the burn right now broski. Could barely walk to the leg extension after dropset zirchers and lunges. Lol
100% gunna kill a few weeks straight of this.bros drop sets is where they're at.
Bros hell yeah, iron grind is the best.100% gunna kill a few weeks straight of this.
Just did unilateral leg extensions 110 for 5, drop to 80 for 5, drop to 50 for 5. Im stuck between almost falling and cant unflex my legs. Haha its the bestBros hell yeah, iron grind is the best.
On the gain train for sure after thatDoing full dropset leg day for the burn right now broski. Could barely walk to the leg extension after dropset zirchers and lunges. Lol
For sure bud. Im finally starting to see some nice definition in my legs. Though the -30° walk to the bus stop on basically ice was brutal after that leg day. HahaOn the gain train for sure after that![]()
Abs are definitely important.Yuppers. One of my big goals is to get some wicked abs going as well. Ill see it through
so basically what's going on is your body is tapping into that excessive glycogen. Once you burn through that it feels uncomfortable because your body will switch over to using ketones for energy. Just keep in mind that that feeling that you're experiencing is not bad; it's actually the way we're supposed to be.I bet, i eat about 0.5 to 1 hr before cardio, otherwise i feel completely gassed halfway through workout.
You make it sound like ill get addicted to fasting. Once you fast you never go back. Lol
Sounds like ill have to give it a try at some point for sure.so basically what's going on is your body is tapping into that excessive glycogen.

Think about why: if you're hungry you're gonna go look for food, just like any other animal out there. If you have a full stomach it's going to have the opposite effect; you'll have less energy. Like I said it takes time for you to get used to it.
@Shakey Updates look good......1/23/26
Update: Tested GLOW 1.2mg dose. PIP was much more managable, will maintain for now and raise when PIP starts decreasing. Raised RETA to 4mg.. Leg day was killer.
Fairly low fat day as well. Had a couple fresh market chinese bowls expiring so killed those today.

Gerds really settled down, acid relux is much less. The 4mg of reta isnt causing it to worsen either, well yet. I earned stomach cramps from the 2mg jump, was mostly gas. Was worth the jump though as i slept through it.steadyhow's your digestion now?
what are you taking for digestion now?Gerds really settled down, acid relux is much less. The 4mg of reta isnt causing it to worsen either, well yet. I earned stomach cramps from the 2mg jump, was mostly gas. Was worth the jump though as i slept through it.
Digestions really slowed down, im going to have to force a meal before bedtime i think, to make macros.
I reintroduced those digestive enzymes and probiotics a few days after pulling some supps. I let everything settle before i reintroduced. Still taking 14g of psyllium daily, it seems to be a good amount for my diet currently.what are you taking for digestion now?
Bros, you are a beast. Keep it up. Are you sure you don't have any BBC in you?Just did unilateral leg extensions 110 for 5, drop to 80 for 5, drop to 50 for 5. Im stuck between almost falling and cant unflex my legs. Haha its the best
Deffinitely not. In the sun im damn near reflective. HahaBros, you are a beast. Keep it up. Are you sure you don't have any BBC in you?
