eating before bed always going to fill you up and harder sleep :D @catdadironman
Click to expand...

I usually eat dinner about 2 hours before bed - but whenever I have a super heavy meal right before bed with little time to digest, I tend to sleep terrible. This usually only happens when I go out to eat dinner with friends/family.

for sleep every day sleep has to be same time if you can

I am pretty rigid with my sleep schedule - I have a consistent 8pm bedtime, with a 7pm wind down routine for good sleep hygiene. But if there are evening social festivities, this messes with this routine every once in a while. I usually like to socialize over breakfast or brunch cause I am more of a morning person

Thoughts/Reflections:

Recovery was..... underwhelming at best. My body held true to form, and it continues to reject the bold strategy of eating a heavy meal right before bed. Dining out also pushed my bedtime about 2 hours later than normal, which my very type A internal body clock completely ignored by waking me up at my normal time anyway. Consistency is important I guess?

The rest of the day was very low key, and mostly involved catching up on my TV series. Calories reduced a bit due to the heavy food yesterday and lack of activity today. Thankful its a gym rest day.

I am starting to feel improvement. I can't single out the the BPC because I am doing mobility work, modifying my routine to avoid problem areas ect - but I honestly think this is playing a decent role in the improvement.

If I know I won't remember my workout I do yes. I only post one workout a week out of the 3-4 I can get in so it's a little easier for me though.

I like being able to flip back pages when I am making my game plan for the workouts - making sure I am keeping the sessions diverse and not repeating things too often.

Hahah - so many "what sups do you take bro!" I want to fuck with them like you suggested - "taco bell and big macs" :ROFLMAO: but in the end if someone asks me and is obviously digging - I am honest about PEDS, better to give people realistic expectations.

Same here... when I mix things up it's good to go back and look. I think that's the cop in us wanting to have a 'notebook' to write in :p

Haha I knew it! Donut Operator is the shit and I totally recognized that patch. He shits on PW's (that's what my Force called them when I was on the job) and makes fun of dead perps ("oh noooo, he diiiied and got vented like swiss cheese"). :ROFLMAO:

Pretty solid leg day. Was feeling strong after going to bed early last night. Added planks into core work at the suggestion of @LevButlerov. Holy shit did they torch my core - been a long time since I have done those!

Haven't done them yet :ROFLMAO:. I modified my "upper day" to be super sets since its a pre shift lift - limited time. It worked well last week. I am going to be doing pushups/pull ups as one of the super sets starting tomorrow.

I do take Mag before bed - do you suggest a different kind of mag? Also, I take my zinc in the morning with breakfast - it tends to upset an empty stomach with me. I usually have my last meal of the day 2 hours before bed.

Bro 91 pushups! Better than last time and that matters! You'll hit 50 easy and watch your chest while you there too, it will respond.

Way to take on the challenge bro! I love that you'll do these every upper day!

I mean, I am not really having ongoing problems with sleep? I only had one bad night of sleep last week due to being up later than normal, and having a heavy meal very close to when I went to bed that night. Not something I am worried about. I simply just don't sleep well when my routine goes out the window.

Had a good early workout this morning - pecs are already a bit sore from the push ups.

Nicotine use continues to trend down which is nice - I have settled into the 3mg pouches and didn't even use my daily allotment today. All health metrics remain steady, nutrition remains mostly on point, and shoulder feels ok! So I am happy with where I currently at.

The rest of the day was very low key, and mostly involved catching up on my TV series. Calories reduced a bit due to the heavy food yesterday and lack of activity today. Thankful its a gym rest day.

Attached Photos: My youngest son displaying the vibe of the day, a much lighter and nutritious meal than last night, and my new workout bag patch given to me by a friend last night - sums up my life :ROFLMAO:

Had a busy/slightly stressful day at work and nicotine use picked up cause of it - I kind of just kept replacing the old pouch with a new one rather than taking a few hour break in between like I have been. Oh well, back on track tomorrow.

Other than that, nutrition on point (lower macros/rest day) and slept good. Already looking forward to crawling into bed in a few hours.

This is a good one right here. I like the core training. It really does hit things a little bit differently. Those elbow planks are not easy. @catdadironman

I like how you include the vice count and I like how you're being honest about it. Unfortunately vices are very common but hopefully you can win yourself off. @catdadironman

I do squats every leg day - working my way up with the weight while focusing on form. Glutes are on fire from the split squats today tho!

It's one of my favorite cuisines! Light and fresh and pure protein - well, a little fat in there too with salmon and tuna.

I am very happy with where I am at - this is literally less than half of where I was 4 months ago, when pouch mg strength is considered. Not perfect, but something I am conscious of, and steady progress on the wean down.

Thoughts/Reflections:

Shoulder/Bicep tendon continues to improve. By far the strongest it has felt in a long while, so I am inclined to believe the BPC is working in conjunction with being very selective with movements and mobility work. Will remain on this course for a while longer....I don't want to reinjure and backtrack.

Thoughts/Reflections:

The shoulder is feeling the best it has in like over a month - so I think I am on the up and up on recovery. BPC for the win. Lets see if we can hold onto that and avoid reinjury!

My glutes have been on fire - split squats yesterday really torched them. Another movement I think will become a staple!

Gym and dinner photo attached. Ground bison with brown rice/quinoa blend and some tasty brussel sprouts!

Thoughts/Reflections:

The shoulder is feeling the best it has in like over a month - so I think I am on the up and up on recovery. BPC for the win. Lets see if we can hold onto that and avoid reinjury!

My glutes have been on fire - split squats yesterday really torched them. Another movement I think will become a staple!

Planks are going to be a foundation of my core work now - they burn so good!

Thoughts/Reflections:

Shoulder/Bicep tendon continues to improve. By far the strongest it has felt in a long while, so I am inclined to believe the BPC is working in conjunction with being very selective with movements and mobility work. Will remain on this course for a while longer....I don't want to reinjure and backtrack.

Much like beef, but leaner. Give it a shot! It can be a bit spendy - but its a nice treat every now and then

I am actually down to 8 now - that might have been a typo if it still says 10. But it seems to be a good dose for me - enough to keep the food noise at bay, but I am keeping up with my macros no problem.

Simple update today as its a rest day from the gym - macros to reflect that. Blood pressure has been consistently below 120, which is nice trend to be on.

The weather is finally starting to warm up in the Northern part of the US. I am itching to get my road bike out for some rides to get my cardio game picked up, but it is not quite warm enough yet.

Yeah - back strength jumped all of a sudden - not sure if its because I am doing more compound movements or what lead to it.

Thoughts/Reflections:

Legs felt very strong today and blood pressure continues to trend well. All other health markers holding steady at the weekly check.

Coffee got a little out of hand today - purely in the name of public service, of course. As some of you may have picked up from my exchanges with @HarleyGuy on my log, I work in Law Enforcement. Once a month my department hosts "Coffee with a Cop" for community outreach. As the departments resident coffee snob/aficionado, I'm essentially deployed as the caffeine liaison if I happen to be on shift.

Legs felt very strong today and blood pressure continues to trend well. All other health markers holding steady at the weekly check.

Coffee got a little out of hand today - purely in the name of public service, of course. As some of you may have picked up from my exchanges with @HarleyGuy on my log, I work in Law Enforcement. Once a month my department hosts "Coffee with a Cop" for community outreach. As the departments resident coffee snob/aficionado, I'm essentially deployed as the caffeine liaison if I happen to be on shift.

I genuinely love it. Its a rare chance to connect with people on a good day, instead of showing up for one of their worst ones, which is more often than not the case in this line of work.

Haha yeah, my department is very community engagement based so we do events where we can interact with the public in positive settings. One of them is the coffee time - where people can come know the officers on a human level and engage in meaningful conversations about the community. Many of us go, but I tend to lead the charge - I love my coffee and enjoy the opportunity to engage people on a positive note.

Bros, I like your layout keeping the protein and carbs the same. @catdadironman I see a lot of guys doing something like that or even keeping the carb a little high.

Thoughts/Reflections:

The caffeine monster clocked in for a graveyard shift last night. The bell tolled for my coffee festivities yesterday - sleep was too short and poor quality. I still woke up early before work and ground through the lift. No excuses. Workout went better than I expected.

I am utterly exhausted and am planning an early bedtime. The java trolls should be purged from my system by now - only had two very early am coffees to get rolling for the day.

Thoughts/Reflections:

The caffeine monster clocked in for a graveyard shift last night. The bell tolled for my coffee festivities yesterday - sleep was too short and poor quality. I still woke up early before work and ground through the lift. No excuses. Workout went better than I expected.

I am utterly exhausted and am planning an early bedtime. The java trolls should be purged from my system by now - only had two very early am coffees to get rolling for the day.

caffeine monster for the win :D no excuses pump it @catdadironman get some naps in usually if you can though.

Sometimes we need that caffeine to keep us awake but I am the same - if I have one too late in the day I struggle to fall asleep. Sometimes I will just have a cup of Tea in the arvo to help with the urge.

yes that’s true! Times change a bit, everything stricter now than before. In Aus anyway as you know so many substances / vitamins , medications that were over the counter get banned that are still available in the US

Shoulder is starting to feel pretty much back to normal - going to stay on machines for these movements until I start the summer cycle here in a few weeks. Last thing I need is a nagging injury that wastes a cycle!

I generally keep my caffeine intake limited to 2 coffees a day - and none after 9/10 am to account for the 8 hour half life. It usually isnt an issue, but every now and then the lure of the elixir gets me. It doesn't help that my coffees of choice are usually Cortados or Flat Whites with extra shots :ROFLMAO:

Good Question!

My TRT is legally RX'ed through an online clinic - so I have paperwork to cover me if every questioned. I am scripted at 200mg a week - which is is on the upper end of medical dosing. The clinic also offers Anavar and Decca, I got my Anavar through the clinic for my TRT + cycle by just telling them I was on a GLP and wanted to preserve lean muscle mass. I assume with how easy it was to get the Var, I could just say I have some joint pain and get the Decca. I could technically do a full decent cycle covered by RX's - but it would be a bit cost prohibitive as they up charge on everything.

Its kind of an open secret in the law enforcement community, at least here in the US, that many of the guys run compounds. I know several coworkers who have obviously run cycles and competed. So it basically falls into a "hear no evil, see no evil" if its not affecting your proffesional life. I don't know of a single person who has ran into any legitimate questioning of being on gear, including guys in the very upper ranks of my department.

I know it falls into a legal grey area when I plan on adding in EQ later this month - but my personal stance is that if your using compounds to better yourself physically, and your not experiencing issues that affect your work life - it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah that’s all fair and valid , thank you for sharing.

Here in Aus harder to get on TRT. Where as I hear it’s a huge market in the US and it’s quite easy.

good day and nice rest :D keep it up
 
How do you find Tirz + Reta? Would just a higher dose of Reta work? Just wondering.
Nicotine pouches? what's that for? Have you quite smoking or is it for a buzz?

Good amount of sleep there too!

I mainly hopped on lower dose of Reta for lipid recovery/support after running Anavar for 6 weeks.

Triz was for my weight loss - I am currently tapering down a bit on the mgs - and I find it to be superior in reducing food noise and snack cravings. I think I found a good equilibrium dose where I am getting the calories I need to maintain my current physique, but keeping snack cravings to a minimum. I was planning on getting to my current state closer to summer, but progressed much faster than anticipated - so I am trying to hold onto my lower BF for now.

I personally didn't notice any significant difference in appetite when I added Reta - and could easily "eat through" my Triz dose if I am not mindful of the goal to maintain.

I got a screaming deal on the Triz through my TRT provider with a bulk order - so once it is used up, I will be switching to a Reta/Cagrilntide combo during my summer EQ cycle at @LevButlerov and @HarleyGuy's suggestion.

Click to expand...

I have used nicotine pouches off and on for probably 2 decades - and when I quite drinking - the use skyrocketed to out of control levels - almost a tin a day. Over the past few months I have been tapering the use down, first through how many pouches I used a day, and then lowering the mg strength of the pouches. The main goal is to totally quit, and I use the log to keep myself accountable and mindful of this goal. I honestly dont even get a buzz anymore - I only get headaches if I go too long between pouches :ROFLMAO:

Caffeine is much the same - I am a coffee snob for sure - but I just keep track as I wanted to keep caffeine intake manageable.

Slept incredible last night, probably the best night sleep I have gotten all year.

Rest day from the gym, and uneventful otherwise - so nothing else to report for the day.

Great updates as always and with the excellent sleep you've been having since the caffeine freight train got you as well as your BP and RHR you're obviously in amazing health both mentally and physically bro! Nice to see.

Coffee got a little out of hand today - purely in the name of public service, of course. As some of you may have picked up from my exchanges with @HarleyGuy on my log, I work in Law Enforcement. Once a month my department hosts "Coffee with a Cop" for community outreach. As the departments resident coffee snob/aficionado, I'm essentially deployed as the caffeine liaison if I happen to be on shift.

Ahh yes the inevitable "too much coffee" shifts, I remember those days.

Love this attitude! Discipline over motivation.

Its kind of an open secret in the law enforcement community, at least here in the US, that many of the guys run compounds.

Same here in Canada. We are not tested (ever) for anything so the boys running cycles all end up gathering around the water cooler/coffee pot and whispering about how their cycle is going. A lot of members of the higher speed units too all use some form of PED's.

I will be switching to a Reta/Cagrilntide combo during my summer EQ cycle at @LevButlerov and @HarleyGuy's suggestion.

I think this is going to be the duo that really works for you

but I just keep track as I wanted to keep caffeine intake manageable.

Mine is still out of hand after all these years LOL. I operate on caffeine and adrenaline and love it!
