Hairygrandpas log, fat- and older people welcome!- diet, training, cycles, healing

[UncleSarm]

Don't look too long at my employees daughter, in most country's it's called "jailbait" with 15y, here they say:
"When grass grows you play soccer."

That's similar to: "Grass in the end field, play ball. Otherwise punt." You don't want to get tackled in the end zone if there is no grass.

Update on my fugged up knees and current cycle:

Trenavar / Epistane dried my knee joints to the point, that even after 3 month after finishing the cycle, my knees are dry , grinding, cold sensitive and hurting badly. Can't do proper leg exercises and bicycle is the only option. A doc prescribed me 40mg prednisone/day until symptoms subside, I'm on day 5 now, and it's 50% better.

I'm now on:
NPP (fast acting Deca) 200mg (2x100mg x week)
Long acting Deca 1x200mg/week
Test-e 250mg 1x week
50mg TD Trest for a month to avoid Deca-D*ck from the NPP

Yesterday I noted a strong alpha feeling that got into a bit of roid rage (?). Normally, I'm the diplomatic kind of person and very resilient to getting mad.
I filled up gas on a gas station and waited 10 minutes to pay. Nobody showed up. Suddenly I lost it.
Entering forcefully into the as " private " labeled quarters of the station, I found 3 employees drinking coffee and eating burritos. I snapped. The first guy who stood up, I slapped his burrito hand, sending the thing flying against the wall. Then was a long pause, I was perplex over my own actions. It did not got violent any further, they apologized and got to work.
This episode disturbed me, I'm not that kind of a person.

 

[Thiefcatcher]

Haha, that sounds like a scene from a movie. Must have been a hell of a slap if they just apologized and went back to work.

I shouted loudly before the slap, told them that half Paraguay was in need for jobs. I was in boss mode and they thought I was from the company -or something like that... LOL
Anyway, it still hunts me, if there were a security guard, I could have ended dead... Here a photo of my own guard at my office:

[hairygrandpa]

Update about healing my knees:

I figured out, that 2x week NPP is not enough due to the short half life of roughly 2-3 days.
What I'm on now:

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate (NPP) 3x100mg/w
Deca Durabolin 1x200mg/w
test-E 250mg/w
0.75 Adex EOD (had to up dosage do to trest-nipple-trouble)
TD trest 50mg/day to counteract NPP-D*ck

Doc prescribed: Prednisolone 40mg/day until symptoms subside, then tapering down.
(That one I don't like, bloating already started after 5 days- but it's knocking the inflammation out)

Animal Flex
Cissus
Hydrolized Gelatine
Bicycle and water walking daily

Knees @60% capacity...

 

[Toren]

Just finding this log now. You have come a long way! In for the continued journey.

 

[Thiefcatcher]

Bicycle and water walking daily

Knees @60% capacity...

WOW Gramps, wasn't aware you could walk on water...LOL

Seriously though, how's the Animal Flex and Cissus working for you? I've had bad knees since high school and i'm always looking for something to help.

Hahaha! You cracked me up here!

Honest answer?
NOTHING has helped so far, besides Indomethacin (preferred) or Prednisolone (catabolic medicine from hell).

Believe me, I will try ALL and Anything to get those joints up and running again.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Following my teacher in his footsteps. :hail:

Lol. Thanks but your volume trumps mine! Let's kick old age's arse together, shall we?

 

[kenpoengineer]

For your joint issues: I use 1 cap iForce Joint Help plus 2 caps GLCDIRECT dot com glucosamine daily.

 

[hairygrandpa]

Small difference:
You have still a grin on your face doing the exercises, while I make a face like a fist.

Found IForce on ebay, having trouble locating the right GLC Direct supplement on amazon -or ebay (has to be on those two stores).

Your already rich how about buying a supp store and sendin us mates free supps

 

[Toren]

I'm a German who migrated to Paraguay 23 years ago, looking for freedom and to escape German routine, bureaucracy, ridiculous rules and laws.
Never regretted my decision to live off the grid, here I could fulfill all my dreams.

I'm sure every place has it's ups and downs but I can really appreciate this statement and I am in a way quite jealous. I'm sure the way of life you have is a slower-paced and more relaxing one then most find living in a big metropolis.

One of these days, maybe when I retire, I truly wish to disconnect (as much as possible) and just live off of what nature gave us.

 

[hairygrandpa]

That's not a way to get rich,..... asking strangers for loans is.
I could offer you a juicy job down here, all my employees are happy with the monthly payment of about US 320.- .:bandit:

One of these days, maybe when I retire, I truly wish to disconnect (as much as possible) and just live off of what nature gave us.

I could elaborate on this a bit, if I may:
I'm not retired, still working 5-8 hours a day.

Pros:
-most laws aren't taken serious
-if you don't hit somebody - you can drink and drive
-all policemen love cash
-you can be what you want to be, like being a architect without studying
-employees are cheap
-always warm
-property is cheap in rural areas
-opportunities for self employed when modern knowledge (telecommunication, robotic, mechanic a.o. )
-women are always interested in foreigners
-no racism

Cons:
-most laws aren't taken serious
-to many drunk drivers
-all policemen love cash, also when someone causes YOU trouble, meaning, someone steals from you and police was payed and keeps quit
-you can be what you want to be, like being a architect without studying, no professionals here (Engineers,Architects,Medical) you die in the hospital
-employees are cheap but not qualified or over enthusiastic , even for more payment
-always warm, sometimes too warm
-property is cheap in rural areas, but the roads to get there can be disastrous
-making a living here is hard, you have to be a true professional, because here, nobody is one
-women are looking for a sugar daddy, at the end, you are maintaining a family of 15 or more (they are VERY family orientated)
-no racism, but if you are a foreigner, EVERYTHING is more expensive for YOU, it's called the "precio para gringo".

There is surely more to talk about, just my quick response. Thanks for the interest!

 

[Toren]

@ HGP - Your list made me chuckle out loud so thanks for that. There is pros and cons to everything so at the end of the day, we all have to make the best of whatever situation WE put ourselves in. I'm a bit of a romantic and I like the idea of walking out to my own pond/lake to catch some dinner, as well as just disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of this electronic world I find myself in.

(Insert dream here)

Someday I will have a ranch in the country and the only sounds I will hear will be the comforting nagging of my wife and the energetic grandchildren running around outside playing.....and doing my chores if they want to eat dinner. Lol.

I totally agree!

But NOTHING is as it seems, and true happiness comes only from overcoming unhappiness, and is short lived.

It sure looks romantic and it has his good days, but with more wealth comes more worries, don't let me go into details like:

Employees selling the fish food behind your back and suddenly, you have 4000 pound starved to death, stinking fish floating around...

LOL, see?

Edit: IMHO, the journey to fulfill your dreams is what life is about, this journey never ends

We are in agreement. The grass isn't always greener and happiness comes from within. I have an idealistic view of where I would like to be in my later years in life but the journey is what matters. I tell my girl that all the time when she gets impatient. The journey is what shapes us and is what will make me enjoy my peaceful ranch (or whatevr it ends up being) sooo much more when it's all said and done.

Knees are momentarily pain free, starting to taper down on the prednisone.
Had trouble sleeping for the last to nights and tried my wife's Valerian root -and Melatonin pills, It worked, feeling refreshed today.
Have to dig deeper what other goodies my wife got hidden from me.

 

[CJNator]

PES is coming out with a joint supplement really soon and sns too, you should look into those!

 

[Gutterpump]

I need to get caught up in here. How them knees feeling?

 

[hairygrandpa]

I need to get caught up in here. How them knees feeling?

Thanks for asking.
They are fine for now.
I'm slowly getting off of prednisone letting (low dose) NPP, Deca, rehabilitation exercises and a sh*tload of supplements take over.

Prednisone is like "reverse-Dbol", LOL. Bloats you up real quick and eats your muscles.

more like an anabolic band aid that hurts when tearing if off

lol

 

[Gutterpump]

I had to take prednisone last fall for a month due to a bad allergic reaction. About 60mg/day. Is that a fairly high dose?

Yeah, prednisone is a corticosteroid. It's catabolic, so it's antagonizing any anabolic you're taking. First time I got a (cortico)steroid injection I was all excited to get to the gym. Until my doctor laughing told me the truth!
Good to hear that the knees are improving.
smith_69 more like a catabolic band aid ... it hurts going on and it hurts coming off!

 

[Gutterpump]

Not noticeably, but I was eating ultra clean and cutting at the time.

I'm on a cut too, but Prednisone together with NPP definitely blows me up .

Pros: With a moonface all wrinkels are gone. :head:

In that case, throw in some tren to counter act the bloating sides of the NPP and prednisone lol
(jk, of course)

In all seriousness though, I wonder how tren is on the joints.

Did a run of up to 80mg/day of MK-677 (for being moronic, like always) , I looked like a hairy puffer-fish from hell, who is pregnant with bighulksmash 's baby.
