You know, I never even considered this. Makes perfect sense though, if you think about it.One of the tricks regarding sleep is, regardless of the length (and sometimes we need longer) is allowing enough time AFTER waking. Typically 4 hours. There IS an argument to be made for being made to wake up from deeper sleep vs lighter sleep. The deeper sleep issue is it can and will take longer to 'liven up'.
I have never competed but I always hear guys say how important it is to practice posing.

I’m not exactly sure how but I slept for 11 hours last night. Maybe due to the increase in the hgh yesterday. I bumped it up to 8iu a day. Had a great workout today. I upped the sets and reps but kept exercises the same at the recommendation of my coach. I didn’t think I would be able to recover but this gear has me in peak condition.

I slept for around 10 hours. Sleep has been incredible the last couple days. Feeling a bit fatigued, I’m assuming it’s from the anadrol. I’ll be switching it out with anavar starting tomorrow. Had a great workout today. Still waiting to see the orthopedic surgeon for my mri results before I start lifting super heavy on leg days. Chilled at the pool the rest of the day.

Hgh typically doesn’t bother me. I’ve run up to 16iu at times. When my liver enzymes get jacked up from a heavy oral, that’s usually the culprit. For me anyway.@Boxcutter you're sleeping well, and being tired can be from high HGH dose, happens a lot

you're super lean pushing it
Yeah, I definitely feel like I’m back in the swing of things now. Strength is way up and size is coming back quickly. I think if I had one more opportunity for a bulk before I complete, I could place top 3, maybe even 1st easily. My coach seems to think so anyway.
Nothing wrong with 7. That was about my average before I started the hgh back.Nice updates man I'm so happy you're getting 8 hours I wish I could myself I'm at 7 hours

I got a solid 8 hours of sleep in last night. Woke up and felt a bit hazy for around 20 minutes, then I perked up. Hit the gym and felt super strong. Workout was fairly easy for the amount of volume. Other than that, just laid around the rest of the day.

August 19 2024
I slept around 9 hours last night. Hit the ground running this morning. I had crazy energy all day today. I saw my orthopedic surgeon today to go over my mri results for my knee. They found a defect in the cartilage that will require surgery. Although, he said we can put it off for a while if that’s what I want. So I just got a cortisone shot in the knee and I’ll take leg day off for a couple weeks before I get back to business. So a little bad news and a little good. I’ll post what the mri said in the side notes at the bottom.

@Boxcutter always good to see you slam a steak
It’s all just old sports injuries or wear and tear. I know I’m gonna have to have a knee replacement. I’m just trying to make the most out of the time I have left before I get it done.@Boxcutter always good to see you slam a steak
but the knee worries me, why you have so many injuries? was this long term? concerned for you
maybe bulking and putting on weight tight on the knee, not sure how serious
@Boxcutter you think bpc157/tb500 will help? might be worth a shot on top of HGHIt’s all just old sports injuries or wear and tear. I know I’m gonna have to have a knee replacement. I’m just trying to make the most out of the time I have left before I get it done.
Do you use a knee sleeve or support?It’s all just old sports injuries or wear and tear. I know I’m gonna have to have a knee replacement. I’m just trying to make the most out of the time I have left before I get it done.
You know, I’ve honestly never thought about it. I’ll ask my orthopedic surgeon when I see him next.Any thoughts on shoe inserts to help with knee issues?
I wear sleeves while lifting and a brace all other times, unless I’m in bed.Do you use a knee sleeve or support?
I’m sure we’ll start out with another arthroscopy, but last time he said I didn’t have any cartilage left. So I’ve already accepted a knee replacement coming, but hopefully I still have a few years left.bro damn sorry about your knee
what kind of surgery you gonna get
It’s an old sports injury exacerbated by wear and tear over the years. Nothing could have really been done except maybe choosing a less strenuous profession.tell us more about your cartilage defect
what would have cost such a thing to happen
For the scope, not long. The knee replacement will be an entirely different story.Bros how long will you be out after the surgery
and do you need rehab
I took them both for around almost 3 months post surgery. I don’t think they will be able to repair cartilage or lack there of.@Boxcutter you think bpc157/tb500 will help? might be worth a shot on top of HGH

@Boxcutter actually bpc157 and tb500 can do wonders for recovery, even cartilage possible, consider it if you can
I feel like it helps with inflammation and minor aches and pains very well.How well do you think the red light therapy works?
I don’t really have any cartilage left after the last surgery. He drilled into the bone marrow last time to try and stimulate new cartilage growth and I took bpc/tb while it was healing and this is how it ended up. The only real option I have is replacement honestly, but I’m putting that off as long as I can.@Boxcutter actually bpc157 and tb500 can do wonders for recovery, even cartilage possible, consider it if you can
steak as usual KILLING it, you are high steak, maybe boost to more steak? if you feel it
No, I could have an arthroscopy to try and smooth the defect but I really don’t have any cartilage left. So honestly knee replacement is what I’ll have to do if I really want it fixed. Although, after that my lifting days are probably over, so it will be put off as long as possible.Is there a chance for the knee to heal up or is surgery the only option?
