Nice man! I usually never have an issue, don’t know what was up this morning. But may add in some Gatorade and see if that helps.

General Update: Feeling weird the past two days, nauseous, so I checked my blood sugar post workout and was way, way high! Like diabetes high! So, I need to get a wrap on this before I throw any **** into my system. This blows a huge codsack as I was really looking forward to getting on board with my RAD and S23 cycle.

Anabolics lower blood sugar & improve nutrient utilization. This is why you must eat more to grow on cycle, can get away with eating more crap, and how they can help you diet. They overdrive normal metabolic demands.
You should absolutely figure out the reason regardless, but the cycle will actually bandaid the issue likely. I would start taking my blood sugar at multiple points with consistent dietary intake and see if there still remains an actual problem with high glucose levels. Obviously morning fasted will be much different than after meals and as the day wears on.

Thanks for the first bit about anabolics... didn’t quite understand that.
And agree with you on the second bit... I had some ice cream snacks last night (hadn’t had ice cream in a few weeks so I kind of splurged) so I’ll remove junk from my diet today and measure after breakfast lunch and dinner.

Also start getting fasted, and if you can get postWO with same intra. I mean the more data you can get the better, but I would want to know what I am going to bed with, what I wake up at, and what my sugar is after meal one.
I think it’s like 15 min post meal and 1 hour post you want to take to get an idea of how high it peaks vs how fast you are clearing it.

Other fun news, my daughters speech therapy classes are going to cost a small fortune. I’m looking at my budget and there’s no way we can afford this if we don’t make some changes. Cell phone bill and cable bills will be reduced, too easy. We already eat in a lot and don’t do a ton of frivolous spending.
But I’m seeing that there’s one area where I could make up some considerable cash and that’s by trading in my truck for a car. Not only would that lower my monthly by roughly $200, but it would lower my gas consumption by at least $150.
Guess I’m going roll down to the stealerships on the motor mile and see if I can drum up any deals. What you’ll do for your kids, huh?

Been in both scenarios man. I dumped my old CST-V for a base model chevy colorado and gained about 10mpg (I drive 3k miles per month). Loved the hotrod but needed something more reliable and fuel efficient... that was when gas was half price. how old is your daughter? we did that a bit with my boy when he was younger as well. it went well in the end

Word, man. I can imagine that was a tough trade. My oldest girl is five, youngest is 2.5.
I have a Tundra and love it. But gas mileage is horrible and I’m starting a new job on Monday that has me going 40 miles each way. I guess that Corolla will fix the gas mileage issue lol!
This meme resonates with me right now.

Johnny Lawrence is all about the hot babes!! haha love it
and yeah my boy was about the same age when we did that speech therapy stuff for him. No idea if it was "necessary" or not. I think they told us the tongue can develop more over the years? that was a good decade ago so I don't really recall but his speech is totally fine now so fingers crossed yours works out too!
40 miles... I hope the traffic isn't bad. my commute to the office is only like 29 miles but the tacoma-seattle traffic is so bad now it takes 90-120 minutes these days. used to be 29-30minutes lol

Good to hear man! She’s getting better with her speech everyday.
And good news, I just found out our insurance will actually cover a lot more of the therapy than I thought! So I might be able to keep my truck.
However, there’s this on a lot down the street! So tempted lol!

100%. I mean I can actually trade my truck in for more than I actually paid for it, but this would require a new loan. And my wife would castrate the **** out of me.
But damn, I would look good pulling up to the gym in that bitch.

Yeah, my wife secretly loves muscle cars. I can tell she really wants one too. Think I’m going to wait a few years though, as I’d rather put down a massive amount at closing so I can keep my truck AND have my muscle car. My truck is pretty sweet, looks BA too.

Also, hit the bud and tris again to get everything primed and ready… felt very vascular today too!
Blood sugar is better after cleaning up the food intake. And I started a new job on Monday which has me standing and walking a ton more. So that’s good.

I don't remember what your work week is like but I'm a mon-fri job guy and my wife and I do all our food prep sunday afternoon after a grocery run together. Mine looks like this:
5 x tupperwares filled with 3 eggs and 1/2 cup jasmine rice (breakfasts)
5 x tupperwares filled with cut vegetables and smashed avocado cups (snack)
1 x large bag of apples so I can have an apple a day with above snack
5 x larger tupperwares filled with salad greens, then we grill up like 6-8 chicken breasts. I add 5oz of chicken and 1/2 cup rice to it.
1 x tupperware filled with egg bites (egg whites cooked in cupcake tins with veggies, garlic, etc added) for protein snacks daily.
every morning I grab a breakfast, snack, and lunch from the fridge to take to work. really helps me stay 80% dialed mon-fri

My man! Look at you, staying on point! That’s inspiring for sure! And thank you for taking the time to post that, 100% sincere here as that just reminds me it can be done. No excuses.

Quick update: This is the first time since my injury that I have worked chest and NOT felt pain in my pec/shoulder area! Holy smokes, I am so happy! I mean it’s been 14 hours since my morning workout and I feel good! Not to mention, I pushed it to the edge this morning… so freaking happy and ready to continue to slowly get back after it.
I did take some fish oil this morning @ZOO! And I’ll take some more tonight… maybe that’s what I’ve been missing all along????

That’s great news brother! I’m happy and envious for you haha. Idk if it would be noticeable in one day but fish oil is also renowned for its anti inflammatory properties so it is likely helping quite a bit. 6g per day keeps the joint pain at bay!

100% dude. all my buddies at work order like door dash/uber eats daily at work or make fast food runs. and I mean every day.
If we don't do our food prep on Sunday afternoon it's really hard for me to make up that lost time and do food prep later in the week cause we are so busy. So this really is a major time saver.
Also when we do food prep like that it's hella cheap. we spend like $3/day to eat (per person) not including dinner.

I'm a big believer in the value of fish oil, but I notice it the most every year around Dec-Jan if I'm not on fishoil, my hands get very sore (like carpal tunnel) and dry skin. if I stay on my fish oil, no issues. typically takes about 2 weeks for it to cycle out of my system and show dry skin, and about 2 weeks to cycle back in.

General Update: Feeling strong AF! And thick AF! So glad I’m back at it, but dayyum, gotta get quicker on my posting game on here too!
Going to hit legs tomorrow after I mow, and then get after some food prep cooking thanks to some inspiration from my man @Dustin07
Also, I don’t foresee the need to start my research chems anytime soon as I’m making progress with weights and reps each workout. So I guess we’ll just plan on seeing how I feel September and then figure out a cycle from there. I mean, I want to get on it lol! But I’d prefer to build back to where I was before I throw some **** down the hatch.

Holy **** bags, I was winded by the end of the workout, but looked engorged!

Night y’all! Have a good one!
As for me, I’m about to shower, watch Top Gun and hopefully make that ass clap with the wifey!

Anyway, since the gym didn’t open up until 5:50 (and I got there at 5:05) I had to really move so this was definitely a pump-focused workout!
