Strength has started to dip a little, ok a lot actually and I am not too happy about it. WTF is going on.
I think I am picking up whatever is going around, seems everyone is infected with something right now. I've even started to get a cold sore now. Might be from all of the stress I've got going on right now, job, girl, moving, etc. but I haven't had one in quite some time.
My weight has really been fluctuating, I was down to 263 just before my BK pig out a few days ago, I am now back ~267, yet still leaner. I think I've lost ~1" total around my waist so far. This cycle is doing exactly what I had hoped.
I know the 'body fat' scales are completely off and I don't go by that reading, but mine has been 'consistent'. I use calipers & tape to measure, but based solely on the impedance readings (same time of day, same hydration levels) I've watched it drop ~3% over the last 2 weeks, even now at roughly the same weight, it is lower. Validates what I have been seeing in the mirror.
Yohimbine caps have been pretty interesting. I'm running ~25g once, sometimes twice a day. The head pressure is gone, but I get slight trembling in my hands/fingers. I will hold it there until that subsides and bump up another 2.5-5g. I only have another 10 days or so of them left. I am also going to be changing my Aromasin/Nolva dosing. My nipples started to look like they were getting bigger, not the whole 'breast area', just nips. Maybe I got paranoid, but they were definitely getting 'sensitive' and always seemed to be 'hard' for no reason. Sensitivity may have been caused by always brushing on my clothes from being hard all the time.
I upped the Nolva immediately to 20mg/ED and it stopped all of that. They look normal again now. I will back down to 10mg/EOD . Aromasin I will do 10mg/E3D unless symptoms start to come back. MOJO has a BOGO for serms right now, might have to jump on that.
I've got a funny story from this past week that I want to share. Sort of goes back to that 'bigarexia' discussion.
I went out to see some live music on Tuesday night, just sitting at the bar, working on a smoking little blonde when some guy comes up to me and asks what I did for work, before I could answer, he says 'Do you just lift Volvo's or do you smash them too?' I told him I was in IT. He didn't want to believe me. He kept saying 'You are a big motherfvcker' and kept going on and on until I politely turned and went back to talking to the chic. Not sure what she thought of the whole thing, but she kept talking to me anyway. Now why the hell would you do that? I mean, I wouldn't go up to a short or fat person and go on and on like that.
Time to add some baggy hoodies to my wardrobe...
