fasting cardio straight up broGetting in today’s log a little early - I’ve yet to do my workout or have meals 3 - 5 - but I’ll be out the rest of the day and wanted to get the post up.
@LevButlerov - I did see the above responses - and sorry to everyone for not getting responding individually! I am very grateful for all the encouragement and support. I’ll try respond to everyone below but won’t always have the time/ capacity to do so individually.
As for core work, yeap planks, side planks, dead bugs and leg raises.
@Shrine , based on my knowledge of MT2 the ideal timing of dosage is immediately prior to sun exposure. While it’s got a long half-life, I believe the duration of effect is actually quite short (1-2hrs). Happy to be corrected but thus far am getting good results with no sides with this protocol.
@zedhed and @caligirl85 thanks for the encouragement and I’ll be sure to provide updates on how the care packages are going. Both Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) and @Sydneycitysupplements have been very generous - and along with the generosity are very high quality products.
A few people have commented on positives from my diet - I appreciate the feedback and it’s good to know I’m going in the right direction.
@Austin316 - yeap, sleep and water are foundational. Not only for physical health, recovery and growth but also mental health. These two aspects are core to my well-being regardless of where I’m at with training and diet.
@Quadsweep - I try to keep it as simple as possible and only introduce more complexity as the need arises. Appreciate the feedback.
@25homes - high HGH for multiple reasons - fat burning, recovery and sleep quality. The advice I’ve received is to run it as high as you can afford as the benefits continue up until around 10IU - and for me thats 5IU. I will be dropping the dose back down to 2IU or 3IU after this cycle, but so far it’s made a huge difference to my sleep quality which is worth it for me.
