You keep setting me up for these rich guys jokes lol. Forgetting about how many vials of serostim you have lol

We should get @BodyMonster34 opinion on a man who drinks Starbucks and pins serostim lol.

Karma

It gets worse. But I’m not rich. I spend money, I don’t have any

 

[BeMe]

Good, go slow as you cycle off, you get that 'high' now, so careful @BeMe

What do you mean by "high"

I've never heard that mentioned before in relation to coming off. Sounds interesting.

 

[BeMe]

We call that hood rich up here. You're kinda diff tho cuz you're spending it on gains instead of depreciating assets.

Fresh Cod for dinner

 

[25homes]

Good to hear

 

[LeNguyen]

Right but it’s like 100iu.

It’s 18iu per vial and 5? Vials? I forget lol. I still have most of it. I think I paid under $900, but I had to buy it and wait a while for the back order

Dang that’s more than my car payment

 

[LevButlerov]

What do you mean by "high"

I've never heard that mentioned before in relation to coming off. Sounds interesting.

As you cycle down, you will feel a "high" like almost you're back on cycle but that's your body overcompensating. Don't think of it as a time to go balls to wall is what I meant

 

[BeMe]

Dang that’s more than my car payment

Ya $900 a month would get you a pretty sweet car

Cool. I never knew that. I'm gonna read up on that rather than ask you more follow up questions lol. That's a seriously interesting topic. They should do a podcast episode about that.

I'll be on the lookout for that. I might be in the middle of it right now cuz these last 2 weeks I'm putting up some really good numbers. I'll stick to my mesocycle and not start adding sets or days like I normally would lol.

You know me pretty well at this point lol.

Dang EVO Family, all this talk about cycles, HGH, Gear, Training is getting me super hyped, it’s my off day and 9:30pm est , and I want to go down stairs to the garage and hit the weights I love it

That's what the EVO fam is all about. Inspiration and motivation. Nothing but love and positivity. It's the whole reason I joined in the first place. There's no place like this on the internet. One of a kind.

But don't hit the weights, stick to your program. Take it from a recovering meathead, don't over do it haha.

 

[BeMe]

Love the Cod! hate the corn! @BeMe swap with sweet potato.

Ya normally I'd have something like sweet potato, carrots, beans, or broccoli in there but the fresh corn we get during the summer is so good and my wife loves it. She's the cook so I gotta eat what I'm served. I just make suggestions and hope for the best haha.

That's actually fresh local corn on the cob but she cuts it off the cob for me like a baby lol

Yooooo that happened to me the one time I ran out of test. And I got so vascular and thin skinned it was kinda gross hahaha I wasn’t trying to do that. I remember thinking that was super weird that I came off and got extra horny and extra ripped, like wtf ?!

[ballin2504]

First night on GH last night and wow...what a difference. About 50 mins after I pinned I felt like a wave hit me when I was getting ready for bed. All of a sudden I was like man...I'm really tired, I gotta get to bed now. Then right out like a light. Amazing nights rest and today is my highest recovery score ever! I can't believe the effect 2 little IU's could have right away like this. You guys weren't kidding.

View attachment 111486

@BeMe that’s some legit stuff man. Love you’re seeing great results already

 

[BeMe]

Local corn is GTG if not GMO.

I know, that's always tough to know for sure. Just gotta trust the farmer. I guess they're as trustworthy as a supermarket at the end of the day.

Also, I took my vegan protein for the first time today. It is GROSS!!! Omg...so nasty. It's the same brand and flavour as my other protein but it tastes nothing like it lol. Vegan protein is for chugging..

 

[BeMe]

I'll talk to the Podcast manager about this good idea @BeMe

I mean on the nose for clicks

"Post cycle highs - misleading" or "Is your body tricking you post cycle" that would peak my curiosity.

Funny could be
"Too high on your own supply - Post cycle peak?"

That would be cool to hear you guys talk about. The post cycle "high", the mechanisms at work there. Stories about how people can get themselves into trouble cuz of it. I never even knew about this phenomenon til today when @LevButlerov warned me about it. Would be good to spread awareness.

yeah i know this well.. my first cycle my pct was not good and it sucked.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Haha maybe. I think we all assume eachother is younger than they are, atleast for us older guys. I was shocked when I heard @stevesmi is pushing 50, so I know what you mean.

Are you younger than me? You have a really mature muscle physique. You look like a guy who's been training steady for 20+ years.

thanks no i am older.

 

[BeMe]

thanks no i am older.

Oh so we're in the same boat, just a couple of old dudes lol

Log Day 131

Recovery numbers have started coming back to normal after those crazy peaks on the first 3 days of GH. Couldn't last forever. I still felt great yesterday. Put in a really hard day on the tools, 8k steps just at work, a lot of up and down ladders, big day. Then came home to a pretty decent training session. I was able to still push hard andnmake progression even tho I'm on my last taper week.

New macros have started up. Aiming for around 300-350g carbs, 100g fat, 300g carbs and I'll see how it goes. Ate low cal last night and woke up this morning looking super peeled for the first time in a while.

Sleep was dog shit last night. My nose got stuffed up and it was aggrivating me to where incouldn fall asleep. That coupled with the fact that I had to piss 5 times last night. No idea why, but it sucked. Hopefully tonight will be better.

It was only one night so it's hard to say. I think it was the congestion bugging me mostly. We'll see tonight. I'm pretty exhausted so I think I'll be good..hopefully.

I'm really curious to know what you were going to say if I said yes tho @LevButlerov

Log Day 132

Yesterday was pretty tough. A little bit tired from work and sub-optimal sleep and the night before last. My numbers were a bit down but not terrible. I'm training as we speak and my numbers are back where they should be so thankfully I'm not in a total slump.

Eating has been good on my new macros. I am feeling a tad hungry, but I'll get used to it. I've been eating like a monster for 4 months so it makes sense.

Found a way to make my vegan protein palatable, just add some avocado oil and it's drinkable. I'm sure I'll get used to that too.

Pinned with an insulin syringe for the first time last night. Went pretty good. Think I'm gonna start warming the test in water to speed things up a bit. It wasn't as bad as every says timing wise. Barely even felt the pin. I'm liking it.

You should go back to the high protein higher carb macros if it makes you feel better and you're still on sports TRT+ you'll grow.

Ya I usually just roll it in my hand a while and good to go. Going to try the warming bath to help it pull into the insulin pin.

I had that problem on my bloodwork with the low uric acid and my doc said it could be related to the high protein. He recommended a new supplement for that and my low copper as well.

Gonna run the slightly lower protein for now til next bloodwork and see how it goes. Bloodwork in 5-6 weeks. Next cycle is Tren so I wanna have perfect bloodwork leading into it so I have a good baseline to see how it works on me. Also so I have the best chance of tolerating it well.

Are you backloading the insulin pin or drawing with it? I felt like it took fooooorever to draw and reusing it after piercing the vial gave me a couple tough spots on my left glute, even to this day. Never tried backloading, I just use luer locks now

Drawing and pinning. Never got the hang of back loading. Tried it twice and wasted shit so FK it lol.

Work on that sleep issue

 

[Mobster]

Mine is almost a Commerical gym in the Farm Shed.

Mine is similar in the former lounge bar

 

[Mobster]

Thanks. Yea a lot of my exercises are named traditionally but have modifications that suit me better.

Just in that day for example

My dips are going way deeper than parallel. Basically to the point my nose can touch the mounting point.

My behind the back laterals are a cable cross with wrist cuffs.

The single arm pulls are actually dual handles but 1 arm at a time while maintaining lat activation on the iso arm.

I try to improve exercises for myself where possible and it keeps things fun too.

Watch that over time. While I'd encourage flexibility I'd watch extreme range under load causing issues as you age around the shoulder joint

Just doesn’t seem right hahaha. Didn’t your ancestors hunt whales and sea monsters in boats made out of silk or something? And they eat every strange creature in the sea and put octopus testicles on mayonnaise pizza. And your wife is Vietnamese, which makes me think of the scene in Apocalypse Now, when they hack that bull in the neck with a giant axe.

Age is all about perspective and how you feel. The number really doesn't matter.

that is true. i see some 25 year olds who look 60. and i see some 60 year olds who look 30.

 

[toddthelineman]

that is true. i see some 25 year olds who look 60. and i see some 60 year olds who look 30.

My mom is 68 and she looks like my sister. Her aunt is 90 something and still has like, a straight back and flat stomach. Even her voice sounds like a young lady. She’s not even all the way grey. She was a red head. It’s weird hahaha. I have a bunch of family like this. Most of them, as long as they didn’t smoke. But growing up I had to watch so many super old family members that went from gardening and working, to barely functioning and it happens so fast, but then they just. Wouldn’t. Die. My great grandma tried taking up alcohol at around 95 years old, and she was hilarious and abusive and like 70 pounds. Didn’t work. She lived to within a week of turning 100

 

[ROIDDERS]

congrats on the podcast invite. look forward to seeing it. @BeMe don't let @Mobster out talk you lol

 

[Mobster]

Got it, I should be able to make that happen.

My wife cooks for us and I eat what I'm served so I have minimal control over dinner. Protein up is easy, carbs down less so but doable.

I recently started using a dextrose supplement with my protein shakes post workout because I thought I needed more carbs and glycogen post workout on cycle.

I lowered my fat intake a bit per your previous suggestion. Sounds like that's lookn good now.

If this was still an issue I'd suggest thus
1) Meal prep and cook your own just eat with family
2) Don't eat all the carbs

 

[Mobster]

Found a way to make my vegan protein palatable, just add some avocado oil and it's drinkable. I'm sure I'll get used to that too.

Pinned with an insulin syringe for the first time last night. Went pretty good. Think I'm gonna start warming the test in water to speed things up a bit. It wasn't as bad as every says timing wise. Barely even felt the pin. I'm liking it.

def hear you on that tired stuff. we overload ourselves a lot in life @BeMe and then we train hard too which wipes us out more

 

[Mobster]

I thought your gym was a bar @Mobster Ya you two have two for the best home gyms I've ever seen. Exactly what I'm aspirining too. My next house will have a dedicated barn or garage with lots of space for machines.

That'd be my plan for the lotto home

nice job man. just make sure that avocado oil is good quality. you don't want to be clogging up your arteries drinking oil everyday @BeMe

 

[BodyMonster34]

Careful. Feed me too much I'll get too big for you. Then I'll pin you and you'll be the one gettn the beef

bro you won't ever be as mean and strong as me. you can try though.

 

[ROIDDERS]

I'm letting him 30 seconds max lol

let someone else talk. you should be an auctioneer cause you talk so much and so fast!

 

[BeMe]

Just doesn’t seem right hahaha. Didn’t your ancestors hunt whales and sea monsters in boats made out of silk or something? And they eat every strange creature in the sea and put octopus testicles on mayonnaise pizza. And your wife is Vietnamese, which makes me think of the scene in Apocalypse Now, when they hack that bull in the neck with a giant axe.

LMAO!!! My wife really likes the weird stuff but I grew up full on Canadian so a lot of that crazy stuff is way off my radar. I will try anything once though and I've eaten my fair share of weird stuff.

But damn that vegan protein is like drinking chalk. Tastes weird but it's more the texture than anything. It's hard to describe.

 

[BeMe]

@BeMe bros hell yeah you going on podcast? i'm jealous. when you gonna be going on? when it coming out?

Just found out we're recording Saturday morning. The boys were really cool about accommodating my schedule cuz I'm so busy with work. No idea when it's coming out though, I'm just along for the ride on this one.

 

[BeMe]

that is true. i see some 25 year olds who look 60. and i see some 60 year olds who look 30.

I got the Asian genes so I look a lot younger then I am. It's funny at work cuz people expect an old guy electrical contractor to come in and they see me and they get confused thinking I'm an apprentice or something.

 

[BeMe]

My mom is 68 and she looks like my sister. Her aunt is 90 something and still has like, a straight back and flat stomach. Even her voice sounds like a young lady. She’s not even all the way grey. She was a red head. It’s weird hahaha. I have a bunch of family like this. Most of them, as long as they didn’t smoke. But growing up I had to watch so many super old family members that went from gardening and working, to barely functioning and it happens so fast, but then they just. Wouldn’t. Die. My great grandma tried taking up alcohol at around 95 years old, and she was hilarious and abusive and like 70 pounds. Didn’t work. She lived to within a week of turning 100

Good genes in the Mr. lineman gene pool

 

[BeMe]

I'm letting him 30 seconds max lol

I'm more worried about not talking over anyone. The Mobster can do what he wants when he wants lol. I'm not about to tell a 300+ pound strength athlete anything lol @ROIDDERS

 

[BeMe]

def hear you on that tired stuff. we overload ourselves a lot in life @BeMe and then we train hard too which wipes us out more

Ya it's difficult because when you do a labour job that changes day to day I have no idea what my work output will be like. I also don't like taking training days off...feels like weakness creeping in when you let that happen.

 

[BeMe]

nice job man. just make sure that avocado oil is good quality. you don't want to be clogging up your arteries drinking oil everyday @BeMe

Great point. I got the really expensive pure cold pressed avocado oil. I'm only adding 1 tbsp to the shake. Helps eliminate the super chalky texture of the vegan stuff. Hopefully next bloodwork my uric acid is back up and I can stop this vegan stuff lol

 

[Pigsy]

congrats on the podcast invite. look forward to seeing it. @BeMe don't let @Mobster out talk you lol

I missed out

 

[BeMe]

I think they strike a really good balance on the show and play off eachother really well. @Mobster has brings then funny, tons of life experiences, and old school hardcore mentality and then @stevesmi has great stories combined with a wealth of scientific info. They really make the perfect pairing cuz on their own the show wouldn't be nearly as good.

 

[BeMe]

I missed out

Missed out on what @Pigsy ?

Good genes in the Mr. lineman gene pool

Yeah, good longevity for sure. It’s hilarious when I do the questionnaire at the doctor. Cancer no, diabetes no, and on and on until the mental health questions and then it’s a disaster hahaha

I struggled with that sooo bad. Became a foreman at 21. I looked 12

Man I think it’s going to make it worse. High uric acid comes from red meat and sweets at the same time. This was a whole thing with carnivores who had gout. I mean, I’ve never had it, I could be wrong, but I’ve heard this so much. Beer, red meat, sweets. Like steak and beer is the big bad two. I dated a naturopathic doctor for years. Her baby dad had gout problems. We talked about it a bunch

Podcast invite

You know you were literally the first person I thought of when I was like why me??? I still don't even know why me lol

I started thinking of so many guys with long histories here, way more experience, way better physiques, and then just me...who am I lol.

I'd love to hear you on the podcast. @Mobster
Talks about you all the time and your story sounds so interesting. Working the farm, going hard through harvest and still putting in the work after a 16hr day in your professional home gym.

That's literally what I thought after last night when the initial excitement settled down and it started ti sink in.

Ya my doctor explained it has something to do with your protein being really high causes your minerals to get depleted trying to process the proteing and you pee out the uric acid, which leads to the low reading.

I eat a decent amount of beef but I'd say 50% of my protein comes from chicken. Beef is maybe 10-15%, then pork, fish, seafood, whey.

 

[LevButlerov]

Good...it's not just me..I thought I was just an idiot cuz I couldn't get it to work perfectly and just ended up wasting gear. I feel better now lol

You're not an idiot lol back loading is a pain in the butt, front loading with an 18G way easier. @BeMe

 

[BeMe]

I've found as long as the vial cap things aren't that really hard rubber one the pins stay pretty sharp.

Didnt want to risk wasting anymore pins or gear trying to learn to backfill lol. From what you're saying I'm glad I didn't.

Log Day 133

Very exciting news, going on the podcast tomorrow morning. Already prepping and have a schedule in mind for the morning to make sure I'm sharp and do a good job. Even tapping in the big bro @Noah Wixx to help show me the way once again. Hopefully I don't let you guys down.

Training was very much back on track last night, which was very relieving. I was worried I was experiencing a big post cycle slump when my recovery and training numbers dipped, but I'm back going strong again.

The GH has my sleep on point again the last 2 nights as well, so no signs of that letting up either.

Nothing but good news to report today. I love days like this.

I'm for Toronto so my accent isn't too bad. Most city people don't really have much of an accent. But I've noticed when I start talking about hockey or the outdoors suddenly I have a hardcore accent lol. I'll avoid those topics haha
