Bros, if she's a red head, that means she's Irish.

Haha nice catch, yes she is Irish. We just finished watching the entire series of Vikings so I'm calling her my Viking Shield Maiden now for a bit LOL.

An Irish lass with some Viking lineage is fine by me! Haha

And yes Minnesota Vikings is a badass name, too bad they didn't do too well this year. I think they had about a .500 season.

Good morning Evo family! Got blood work back. Things are still not great yet so I am going to hold off on starting deca and more test for now. I am going to try everyday pins to see if that helps with calming the red blood cell production down. I am not posting the bloods yet because I am still waiting on estrogen level test to come back. So when they are all in I will post them. But dropping from 200mg weekly to 160mg weekly did drop my hematocrit down from 258 to 255. But because I been giving blood to try and help now my ferritin tanked to 16.

Also I am increasing mounjaro to the 15mg weekly. I am doing 10mg every 5 days right now see how that goes. Then If this doesn't help with my weight loss I will probably stop and start Reta and drop that dose down to a starter dose and see how that goes. Hopefully at the 15mg weekly and more frequent dosing will help with the curbed food noise.

Here is my latest training dumb.

 

[kcates]

Here are the rest. Today's workout was just kind of random leg workout. We are out of town so my brother and wife joined me today. We just used what we could at the gym here.

Have you thought about just adding in 1 mg of Reta on a Monday and Thursday for the extra fat burning properties?

Also, Cagrilintide gives the strongest appetite suppression if you're really struggling with sticking with your diet add a small dose to your Mounjaro.

Something to consider.

I have actually thought about trying that. Have you tried it and how was the appetite suppression with that? For now going to try this see how it goes. I am pretty much maxed out on the recommended dose per week now. Now as far as diet goes I can stick to maintenance but can't really cut my intake down to a point where I can lose a significant amount. Of weight without feeling like crap in the afternoons on the jobsite. If my performance as far as work was not a big deal as far as physically working I could handle cutting easier I think. I have tried going low carb and I just die in the afternoons and don't want to work. Also found out my ferritin is at 16 so hope fixing that will make it better.

what happened?

That my estrogen results weren't in by the time for my doctor appointment yesterday to see if lowering my dose improved that but as long as I feel good I am not to worried about that one.

I got the results in. Of course my doctor or the nurse didn't order the right blood work for estrogen. He ordered total instead of e2 sensitive estradiol. I was frustrated over that but anyways. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to get my training up loaded and my blood work. I have to upload my blood work from my computer. I am just jumping on here to post some food prep real quick.

 

[kcates]

Thought of you @BodyMonster34 tonight while I butchered this chuck roll! Big slab of beef with a side tren except I didn't have any tren sorry about that part! I got 6 denver steaks, 8 chuck eyes, and 3) 5 lb roast for the crockpot. I had a rare denver and a rare chuck eye steak tonight!

Yeah, i leave in 30 minutes. The prep is the worse part. It makes sleep crappy. Woke up at 3 couldnt go back to sleep so I went ahead and went to the gym for some light work. Afterwards I am going to refeed. Then go to sleep for awhile.

 

[kcates]

Here is my blood work. I have sometime this morning to sit at the computer and not have to do work. I am pretty frustrated that the doctor messed up and did not order my E2 and ordered total E. Total E doesn't tell me anything really. I am not changing anything at this time. I am going to continue to stay on my TRT at 160mg. We did decide to cut back on the blood donations to every 3 months instead of every 2. No AI. I would like to see my red blood and hematocrit get better before I run another cycle.

Yeah man! We having our first pot roast off of it tonight with carrots. I will try and remember to get some photos. I am so bad about tracking food to log. I just been so busy lately with family and work. All I do everyday is train eat work and sleep. Repeat. Except today I got the day off from life because of a colonoscopy. Time to catch up on other things.

[kcates]

I haven't set up my camera on a tripod to get photos. I snapped a quick one in the bathroom just to get an updated one. I am finding truly cutting and still feeling well for work is difficult for me. It was way easier when I was using caffeine to eat less and blow through the day doing construction. Now off caffeine I feel really well and not using an unhealthy crutch to survive. I still believe I am addicted. Once an addict always an addict. I know if I take one preworkout I will be back on like donkey kong again. I just can't jeopardize my blood pressure again. I will continue to recomp and slowly shed the weight and slowly put some muscle on. Which is fine by me. I am really super happy with where I am now. Life is great as far as I feel finally. I can work all day, I can train hard, family life is great and sex life is great. It's all I could ever ask for as far as my health goes. But I will still continue to strive to be better. I just feel best for work at around maintenance. Work for me is most important. The more I work the more I make. I don't work I don't get paid. The joys of being the one man show at my business. I have no aspirations of growing and bringing on people. I am just not a big enough company to acquire the skill employees I need to do the quality of work that I do. I am working on another business project that hopefully will workout and I will work to scale it. Then hopefully it will be less physical in the long run. Then maybe I can do some more serious cuts and not be such a drag on myself. We will see how that pans out. In the meantime just keep plugging away.

how do you feel on the deca?

 

[kcates]

how do you feel on the deca?

I don't feel anything yet but it's only been 12 days. It's a long acting one so not judging quickly with this one. Going to ride the 50mg weekly until 6 weeks when I get blood work. Then see what the blood work says and see how I feel. I did post my last blood work finally and posted an updated picture that you missed. Still working on the blood so decided not to do anything crazy right now until I can figure out that sweet spot where I can recover my blood numbers to green. Before I blast off again. Then I know the TRT where I go back to when I land from blast back to recover.

@kcates I'm in a huge minority that does not consume any type of caffeine at all. I do not consume tea, coffee, or anything like that. I want my body and brain to operate at maximum capacity and when you consume caffeine you're just finding your body.

We both are brother. I love caffeine but my heart apparently doesn't and I got to listen to my heart. Now that I been off of it for months now I actually feel really good with out it. I am glad I was able to quit.

 

[kcates]

you take any iron supplements? and can we get e2 tested? @kcates

I do not take any iron supplements..doctor doesn't want me taking any right now. I am going to get my own blood work in about 4 weeks and I will be getting e2 then. I feel fine now so I don't see the need for it at the moment. I know how I feel when I get to high on estrogen and need to back off.

 

[kcates]

You're looking good leaning out a bit and a bit of size @kcates and I dont see the issue with caffeine or nicotine tbh its such an overplay to stop using it especially in your tough job

It causes my blood pressure to go up is why I don't use it. I couldn't ever get my blood pressure in range no matter what I tried and even doctor was telling me it's not the caffeine making my blood pressure that high. If you remember I posted about this. As I tapered off the caffeine weekly I watched my blood pressure come down with it. Now I am off I have normal blood pressure average 120/65 now. It just doesn't work for me. If it wasn't for my blood pressure I would still be using it. I love caffeine! One of my two favorite drugs, caffeine and testosterone!

My Informations:

1. Age: 50
2. Height: 5' 9"
3. Weight: 231
4. body fat % (estimated): I dont know
5. Training experience: 1.5 years

Training:
I am going to run MAPS Symmetry a unilateral program to help fix any imbalances from lifting heavy doing powerlifting. Then I will probably do a bodybuilding split.

Diet:

• Daily caloric intake: 2500-3000 calories a day depending on if I eat something outside my normal eating routine.
• Macronutrient split: Only thing I track is my protein intake. I am shooting for 200-225 grams of protein a day.
  • Meal Plan: This is my normal day in and day out routine. If something special comes up then it alters the plan but I have been consistent with this for the past year.
  • Breakfast: 6 whole eggs, a protein shake.
  • Lunch: beef stick, pork jerky, and a protein bar while driving around for work
  • Dinner: usually somewhere around a lb of meat depending on what is being served. I will also have some vegetables typically at this meal.

Supplements:
before the gym I have Bucked Up Woke AF

My other daily supplements

• creatine monohydrate 10 grams x 2 daily
• HMB 2.5 grams x 2 daily
• beta alanine 5 grams
• sea salt 1.5g
• 4.5 potassium
• magnesium bisglycinate 72 mg morning

Cycle Plan:

• I am already on Cycle of 143mg EOD of Testosterone Cypionate 250 until Sept 9th then I will go back to TRT

Additional Notes/Goals:
Lose weight and get down to a goal weight of 200lbs or less. I don't care about percentage as much as I just want to lose weight, have good blood markers, good blood pressure and be healthy.

Good luck with this mate, looks like a pretty solid log. Remember to keep in a calorie deficit if your goal purpose is losing weight. If you can afford it some hgh would definitely come in handy. Wishing you the best. You got this

@kcates good on you man. It seems like you're taking your health seriously. That much I can respect you for. A lot of people just ignore things until things get to the point where they have to go to a doctor.

I should probably get it done I would think. How much does something like that cost and what does it entail exactly? I've heard stories from people but they seem to always exaggerate. @kcates

 

[LevButlerov]

Good luck with this mate, looks like a pretty solid log. Remember to keep in a calorie deficit if your goal purpose is losing weight. If you can afford it some hgh would definitely come in handy. Wishing you the best. You got this

been waiting for your log to go up? when is it up? @sampsacus

 

[LevButlerov]

It causes my blood pressure to go up is why I don't use it. I couldn't ever get my blood pressure in range no matter what I tried and even doctor was telling me it's not the caffeine making my blood pressure that high. If you remember I posted about this. As I tapered off the caffeine weekly I watched my blood pressure come down with it. Now I am off I have normal blood pressure average 120/65 now. It just doesn't work for me. If it wasn't for my blood pressure I would still be using it. I love caffeine! One of my two favorite drugs, caffeine and testosterone!

I remember you posted about it but how much was BP up? and do you think it was diet related as well? quantity matters too 1 cup coffee vs 20
1 nicotine pouch vs 20 and so on @kcates

 

[LevButlerov]

I do not take any iron supplements..doctor doesn't want me taking any right now. I am going to get my own blood work in about 4 weeks and I will be getting e2 then. I feel fine now so I don't see the need for it at the moment. I know how I feel when I get to high on estrogen and need to back off.

lets do it in 4 weeks and see

 

[sampsacus]

I must do 1 @LevButlerov. I have started 1 and got half way through then deleted it because it was shit. Will try again and just get something down.

It was up in 150 -170/90-100

Mine was covered by insurance. I didn't pay anything when I went. It's easy to do. They get u in a prep room. Get y in a gown. Hook up your iv and the vital machine. Then they wheell u back to the procedure room. Since I am on a bipap they put me on oxygen. Then the tell u to roll on your side. Then they inject the drugs to knock u out. Then u wake up get dressed and go home to eat and rest. It's weird I watched her inject the white stuff in my IV and I always try to stay awake but it feels like a second and your waking up in the room you were prepped in. Cleaning your system out prior is the only bad part and it's not that bad really. I got up and went to the gym prior since I was able to drink water until 6 am.

Yeah my first reading this morning was 106/60 after I woke up. Hopefully the good sleep I am getting on the HGH is helping as well. Can't hurt.

This week @LevButlerov
Have you got a format i can follow to make it easier?

 

[ballin2504]

I haven't set up my camera on a tripod to get photos. I snapped a quick one in the bathroom just to get an updated one. I am finding truly cutting and still feeling well for work is difficult for me. It was way easier when I was using caffeine to eat less and blow through the day doing construction. Now off caffeine I feel really well and not using an unhealthy crutch to survive. I still believe I am addicted. Once an addict always an addict. I know if I take one preworkout I will be back on like donkey kong again. I just can't jeopardize my blood pressure again. I will continue to recomp and slowly shed the weight and slowly put some muscle on. Which is fine by me. I am really super happy with where I am now. Life is great as far as I feel finally. I can work all day, I can train hard, family life is great and sex life is great. It's all I could ever ask for as far as my health goes. But I will still continue to strive to be better. I just feel best for work at around maintenance. Work for me is most important. The more I work the more I make. I don't work I don't get paid. The joys of being the one man show at my business. I have no aspirations of growing and bringing on people. I am just not a big enough company to acquire the skill employees I need to do the quality of work that I do. I am working on another business project that hopefully will workout and I will work to scale it. Then hopefully it will be less physical in the long run. Then maybe I can do some more serious cuts and not be such a drag on myself. We will see how that pans out. In the meantime just keep plugging away.

@kcates looking really good man. The abs are coming through. Nice work.

 

[kcates]

thats high!

Yeah it was. Just glad I figured it out just sucks it had to be my favorite drug causing it.

Interesting, you're saying 0 other changes besides caffeine and bp down?

It’s the improved sleep that bright it down. That’s what the doctor is missing. People metabolize caffeine at different rates. If you’re a slow metabolizer of caffeine you won’t sleep as restfully. Every single time I get poor sleep my blood pressure is crazy

That's good that you don't feel anything.

 

[kcates]

Yeah, it was like last resort thing to eliminate. I had tried eliminating everything I could think of in my life trying to not go to that because I love caffeine. I was addicted for sure. I still crave it now. I know I get that buzz one time again it will escalate. I was diagnosed in my 20s of being obsessive compulsive disorder with my drinking and drugging. I had to go through tons of drug counseling that was court ordered during my years of getting in trouble for drug dealing.

 

[kcates]

That's good that you don't feel anything.

Yeah it's a non painful experience. It does cost a day of work. Afterwards your not suppose to drive because of being on anesthesia. Plus your lazy from the anesthesia so I just take the whole day off. My wife has chrons disease and gets the regularly and she goes home and sleeps. She says it makes her gassy. The worst is drinking the stuff the night before that cleans your colon out. It's not that bad if you get the one you chug down 2x 16 ounces of magnesium, potassium and salt mix. I just knock it out and drink some water to chase it. Then hours later you shit for like 4 hours. Then u can sleep ok. Then u shit a little in the am. I woke up at like 5 am and went to the gym.

I would take my last dose at 12 pm. And would go to bed at 9pm. I actually slept good back before I quit. I have had more sleep issues after quiting caffeine. I guess my body adapted to it and thought it needed it since I been using it for so long. Now that my body is trying to figure out normal again it's disrupted. This is just my personal thoeoru from going through it. Since starting HGH though I am sleeping great and dreaming some crazy shit. Last night's dream I was like in a real life military survival PVP video game. The dreams seem so real sometimes I don't won't to wake up and want to go back to sleep and go back in the dream. Lol

Ah wow. Awesome you started hgh. I’m about to start it again to. What brand did you use? I want to try one of the ugl hgh

I am going to be honest. I ordered mine from a wholesale supplier I researched out and found. I basically went on Janosic analytics and did research on the wholesalers that were coming back with good results. Then found contact for that wholesaler I chose and contacted them directly. I am not suggesting anyone else do this but this is what I did and testing my stuff out personally.

I don’t mind that. As long as it’s working out. I think about $1/iu is as cheap as it can be had. Rx pens are $10/iu.

I’m still going to use our sources because we’d be in a bad place without them

 

[kcates]

Sounds like a plan. I am going to check out the new approved source next time I need some gear that Noah is using right now. You should check them out. They seemed to have it in and at a good price.

arent you taking BP meds?

 

[kcates]

I take telmisartan still. Might need to back down the dose but I read it's not a bad med to be on. I got to do a better log of my Bp regularly to give my doctor before I have that discussion. I rather not be on any drugs if I don't need it.

you take bp meds and your bp was high?

 

[kcates]

you take bp meds and your bp was high?

Yes it was. The highest dose on different ones at different times. I have been on 3 or 4 different ones. I have tried valsartan, losartan, telmisartan is what I am on now. Telmisartan has other benefits other that studies have shown for kidney protection, improve insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular protection.
