Thanks bro, feels goot to be back logging again.

I didnt think i would be back to 225 on the bar so it was a nice suprise to go beyond that.

I have just been working plate loaded machines for months which i have really been enjoying the incline machine, smoother on my shoulders for sure.

I actually have found myself doing more and more machines and progressing better. I might be converted

Thanks bro, i'm very proud of her, she is busy with dance, volleyball, chorus and is an awesom student. She even goes hunting and fishing with me.

So far i feel really good with some extra carbs. Feel fuller and strong. Getting my e2 checked again on tuesday, will probably be the last until post cycle

5 weeks left, going to continue eating. At a slight deficit, almost want to add a little more for last 5 weeks to give body a diet reset so when I go in a hard deficit/fatloss i have wiggle room to go down. What do you think @LevButlerov ?

Ohh yea bro. What are your thoughts on cutting down or stopping reta for a few weeks and re introducing once cycle is done to ramp up for a maintenance to fatloss phase? I feel like it would be nice to let the body do an ole fashion purge @LevButlerov im at 2mg once a week currently

you can do that but can you control food intake? @Warthog61

 

[Warthog61]

you can do that but can you control food intake? @Warthog61

Pretty confident i can, 4 1/2 weeks left of cycle so i figured give glp a month break and then i can start back up at 1mg when i bump down to trt and let everything stabilize on maintenance. May even switch back to tirz for a fatloss phase, it helps with appetite way better but i do like the impact reta has on lipids. Its a toss up

Do you think clen is obsolete considering the glp's? Would like to give a stimulant a whirl in the future. My sights are still on that @floridaman1984 andromix cycle i havent forgotten lol

I cant be the only one that thinks about a cycle before the one im on is still going am i? I will give it a health phase so the long Esther eq can find its way out but man eq is no joke. About week 9 is when i really noticed a difference, strength surge and volume, almost like i have to remind myeslf my set counts and how long ive been at the gym, i could probably do 40 sets and still recover

I think you should try it and see if you can do without it @Warthog61 or go real low dose.
I think clenbuterol is not obsolete it has a place but depends really on your heart condition.

Sleep still kind-of an issue. can fall asleep but not stay asleep. i have titrated gh up to 4iu pre bed with no noticeable change of sleep quality. Only other thing i can think of that has changed is either switching to reta from tirz or the npp, or the fact that i just have a lot on my mind with the career change in play

Possible hypoglycemic? My resting heart rate has been higher since starting reta. I almost want to do an elimination test starting with reta which we did speak about @LevButlerov

Any other thoughts @R.AP @Allupfromhere @HarleyGuy

A side note, last night i did 3.5iu gh, fell asleep around 8pm, got up once at 1230 to use bathroom and back out until 430. Half way thinking stress from work is lifting since i quit. I dont want false hope, i will keep updating

Sounds like sleep is up and down and related to life stress as it's not the first time you've mentioned it as above in your most recent post and and the one where you talk about stress from work above as well.

My daughter wanted to try the gym so got her set up with some exercises, kinda cool she is showing interest at 13, she said she thinks it will help with volleyball freshman year so i'm like hell yeah! Then she hit treadmill for 40 minute's

This is what I love to read!

Getting my e2 checked again on tuesday

Any results yet on this?

It keeps me out of trouble, especially mentally

Signs that mental speed is an issue (I have the same issue) and we'll need to learn a night time routine to wind down and possibly add something to relax as opposed to take out Reta altogether. I doubt you're going full on hypo on 4iu

Do you think clen is obsolete considering the glp's?

Not obsolete per se, but becoming more for contest prep. Long term for you GLP's make Clen obsolete at your age and for your goals. Risk vs. Reward and health/longevity.

Great to have you back logging brother!

Yeah, same thing my wife said about stress. Really hoping this career change will be a better fit, it really seems that way from the outside looking in. I think i will be better off as an individual contributor rather than being in management. Plus the job is going to be more physical which i am really looking forward too.

My daughter is my sidekick, she tells me everything. I don't ever want to break this bond. My son on the other hand he is a mama's boy and he likes to challenge from time to time, just a simple reminder of who is alpha usually works @Ulter

E2 draw was tues., usually a 5 business day turn around for lcms

Mental speed is a great word from it, dealing with PTSD for the last 17 years has been something i have to battle (counceling/docs loading me up with drugs that shut everything off). Sobriety and finding a purpose has been really important for me and my relationships in life, I started reading the big book, not being really spiritual myself i have felt good reading it anyways

I kinda agree with your opinion on clen as well as all your input. It is truly appreciated, sometimes we need a reminder of what we have in front of us rather than reaching for something we don't really need. Why do clen when there is tren am i right??? Kidding............or not

All this hype on Mots-c i have been reading and listening to, i may give that a go in the near future, thoughts on this @HarleyGuy It seems to have a decent amount of benefits all around. I read its pretty subtle with gradual results.

MOTS-C is one of the better mitochondrial support peptides. If you wanna really get the most out of MOTS-C it's best to run SS31 for about 8 weeks and then add in the MOTS-C. SS31 is like putting in a new engine to the car and MOTS-C is then adding premium fuel, I hope that analogy doesn't upset the peptide experts on here @LevButlerov LMAO.

Plus the job is going to be more physical which i am really looking forward too.

This will help you sleep. I think it's mental bro. As you know from 2025 log I have Operator Syndrome (a specific form of c-PTSD) and was medically retired from the military/police fuckery I was trained to do that fucked me up and I am still on 'calm my ass down at night' meds including sleeping meds but @LevButlerov and I are slowly but surely cutting them out. I'm off zopiclone now and have shitcanned the anti-psychotic Seroquil/Quetiapine and so far so good, no one has been killed and I haven't lose my shit so I'm thinking my decade of therapy has worked it's magic and the medication is just Physician complacency in checking up on what I still really need.

Yup, totally get it. I can't remember if you've read page 10 of my 2025 log where in August I posted a bullet point list of my story (brief) or listened to my podcast but I'm in the same boat bro.

If you're reading the Big Book stick to the stories at the end. Unless you're an alcoholic looking to quit drinking forever first 88 pages of the Big Book won't really translate well without a sponsor to take you through it. If you're good to go and just curious then starting from page 1 is a super interesting insight into just learning about the disease and reading a bit about the solution to it and it's various steps.

Yeah you have come a long ways man, i'm sure i'm not the only one proud of you. Your podcasts were felt strongly. I carry a lot of survivors guilt myself which explains a lot of my anxiety and self medication, the military had me on seroquil, benzos, sleeping pills....you name it, they fed that shit like candy, basically saying "here take this, fuck your feelings and do your fuckin job" (i had as many bottles of perscribed meds in my cabinet as i do now of supplements) adding in alcohol while at home station binge drinking, then being discharged, honorably luckily even tho i had a ton of outlashes and alcohol related incidents.....i never really matured, like my actual brain. then the drinking just got worse, added hard drugs to the mix and lost my 20's and half my 30's. It took me to almost 40 to realize what the hell i was doing, always better late than never.

We have to be thankful every day, i know i am.

Ya bro I'm with you on all this. Much love and respect for your service and sacrifice. I still say it was worth all the shwacking that got done because the devil's weeds are all over God's green earth. I'd love to go contract and take care of some more but that would send me over the edge for sure.

Did they give you prazosin for nightmares or flashbacks? I'm still on 12mg but wanna get off that too.

Reta has been know to effect sleep for some brother. Dont underestimate the impact of stress though mate. Even when we feel like we are 'dealing' with it sometimes we dont realise we are just pushing it aside and its building up in the backround.

Try this combo for your sleep.

5mg melatonin
200mg 5-hpt
200mg gabba
200mg Theanine
300mg Valerian root.

Meditation can help with stress for some too brother but alot of people find that bad sleep and stress have a domino effect on eachother and can start to compound.

Stress leads to bad sleep and bad sleep effects our stress.

See how you go with this combination brother

Thanks bro, i will look into that combo. It honestly could be a buildup of stress. Probably a compounding effect. I have been taking 6mg melatonin. I have lorzapam but i refuse to take it, one of those i have it if i need it but dont touch it things

Smart call bro, sometimes we need to address what could be the issue to be able to fin a solution but not getting proper sleep jist effects so much and can make things significantly more difficult. I feel this combo will definitely assist.

Each ingredient plays a different role and a different stage of your sleep. Fingers crossed it helps bro

Risperidone* only thing im perscribes now (17 years later) is buspirone 5mg which compared to before is a tic-tac

I actually went the other way brother, dropped squats for hack squats, pendulums and machines and have seen alot more leg growth, if you want a big squat, squat more, but the others can be really really solid for growth cause you can push failure alot easier and safer

Yeah thats what i usually do, barbell has always been kryptonite. I do enjoy pendulums. Just thought i would have been able to get a little more on the bar, probably just an ego thing which i should know better at this age

You nailed it bro, its ego, i used to bench, dead, squat, row, because they are your big staples right? I got stronger sure, but nothing has got me growing like the machines - just depends on your goals I guess

I guess when i did chest the other day on bench, again 1st time in months hitting 255 got me pumped lol. It goes to show using machines for the past 3-4 months really have worked. It just wasn't the same outcome for trad. squats. Time to obsess on the hacksquat machine, honedtly i see it being safer too

Any other thoughts @R.AP @Allupfromhere @HarleyGuy

Would be worth looking at lifestyle factors bro. Stress can definitely impact sleep. I wouldn't think you're going hypoglycemic, what are your macros at the moment? Are you getting cold sweats, shaking, dizziness?

Carbs 220 protein 250-275 fat 60. Waking up at 2-3am sweaty, then tough to fall back asleep No shaking or dizzyness. I may be stressed more than i feel but i dont know, its odd that it seems to have started right at mid cycle where i had added reta and gh.

What about npp, could that be causing sleep disturbance?

If its becoming counter productive i would.
Like as soon as tren fucks my sleep to much i pull it as sleep is the backbone to the majority of our development. However i dont have plans to use tren again unless im the tail end of a contest prep and its needed.

@Warthog61 looking really good man. I like the curls on the single-leg machines. Those are really important to work the back of your leg.

Always good to hit them at different body positions for sure

@Warthog61 great job on this buddy. The standing single-leg curl machine and the cable single-arm lat raises are definitely good options. Keep up the good work.

Not bad at all on this training. I like the barbell Romanian deadlifts and laying leg curl. Those are really good for working your legs and making them more conditioned. @Warthog61

Nice leg workout. 180 on hack squats and 205 on RDL'S is good weight.

Risperidone* only thing im perscribes now (17 years later) is buspirone 5mg which compared to before is a tic-tac

This can increase prolactin! It did with my stepson I knew this was a side effect and I had her test for it (his autism doc) and his was triple the high range. He's only 11 so it's no biggie yet but it's something I'd keep an eye on for you.

This is reassuring now. Right on track to be right where you want to be. Great job staying on top of bloods and posting it here

Great volume and workouts too, strong leg press man nice job! I like you're still using the crunch machine as it adds load to the abs vs. bodyweight crunches. Looking good.

Buspirone can????? I a as only on the other meds when i was in service

Im not on anything but buspirone

Carbs 220 protein 250-275 fat 60. Waking up at 2-3am sweaty, then tough to fall back asleep No shaking or dizzyness. I may be stressed more than i feel but i dont know, its odd that it seems to have started right at mid cycle where i had added reta and gh.

What about npp, could that be causing sleep disturbance?

NPP is extremely progestogenic bro and by impacting Serotonin -> Dopamine this could definitely be why your sleep is heavily impacted. Easy way to test it! Pull the NPP for a couple of weeks and see if it improved your sleep quality.

Yeah i pulled it out of my daily pin on friday

Could you tell some joint relief with it? I want to run NPP or deca. Leaning towards NPP, just don't want to use it at the same time as tren and have 2 - Nor 19 steroids at once.

I did, felt great honestly 20mg daily, only thing was the sleep disturbance at 2-3am but acording to me sleep tracker i'm still well rested so i dunno, its tolerable more of an annoyance. I would love to revisit it at some point. @floridaman1984

Plan is to rule npp out sleep wise, next to rule out would be reta, i pee more on it (which i have read is a side effect, hence the extra at night,waking. PSA is good) higher rhr and honestly think its it the culprit @R.AP

I just installed a cgm so i will see how my glucose is at night and continue on working on stress @LevButlerov

New job started today, mainly paperwork stuff but everyone is pretty welcoming, feels positive

Awesome definitely looking forward to it. Already have some on hand ready to go.

See below....

NPP is extremely progestogenic bro

@R.AP is bang on again here. Also, buspirone acts as a dopamine antagonist so like @R.AP explained with the NPP you're doubling down on prolactin as well with the buspirone. Doctors should know this and if he/she saw your high prolactin they should know enough to tell you "it might be the buspirone", but most general practitioners are an auto-pilot writing prescriptions for Big Pharma and don't go deep like some of us like to on EVO.

Ill just drop the buspirone then as well, she perscribed it "as needed" here is some data from the 1st night of tracking the slight dip at about 1130pm is when i woke up sweating

I'm sorry but your doc is a quack! Buspirone is NOT something to be taken PRN (as needed). If this is the case then let's cut that nasty Rx med and we'll try and use some natural remedies for anxiety. Buspirone is for general anxiety and needs to be taken daily to build up and saturate over several weeks (usually a month) to help control chronic ongoing generalized anxiety. It's not a PRN medication for anxiety like Xanax or Ativan. To qualify this I've been on it myself and it didn't work (years ago) and my stepson with autism is on it and takes it daily as it's intended.

Those sleep numbers look pretty standard can't see why you woke up sweating with this data.
