Great start to the log mate!
I’m liking the coq10 and implementation of
Cialis aswell for your heart and kidney health. Cialis good enough for
Your blood
Pressure?

Sucks about the injuries, my left elbow tendon was ripped off playing footy and it
Definitely can be frustrating to isolate after a butchered surgeon job. Kudos to you for being persistent.

The diet looks great aswell, be sure to get in atleast 200g of high quality protein a day to
keep that muscle you’ve got already. IMO it’s important to track. Judging by your food choices though you already know that!

What’s your goal? I’m not sure of how muscular you are but I’m 100kg on a cut so I’m a pretty similar spot I’d imagine.

Best of luck with it

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

Good luck mate. Put some physique photo's up too so we can get an idea of BF etc
Reta 1mg is pretty low but of course titratre up as needed.

Ever thought of getting the ruptured tendon repaired?

Awesome first log brother. You’ve overcome more setbacks than most people ever face and you’re still moving forward. Looking forward to watching the strength numbers climb and seeing you chase down that deadlift PR over the wife
