A log with vague goals

Smont said:
Safe to say I did not reach my birthday goal. But I got abs and I'm in a decent spot. I haven't taken anything since Friday and I'll take a shot of test on Sunday (I didn't this weekend either) il probably take a week off or maybe just hit the bag or something. Motivation still isn't the greatest but at least I want to work out. Il start Methylene Blue and log that for April

you know it's kinda like I was telling Kleen the other day. if a bad week or day or month means you're not quite hitting your goal but still fit as fuk and blasting abs then you're in a damn good place. think about the alternative, you could be a couch potato with a desk job and 50lbs overweight...

I know, it's more about me not accomplishing the actual task and not so much about how I look. I'm close enough to where I want to be that it doesn't bother me I'm always pretty comfortable, honestly I don't even mind having a little bit of a belly. One of the reasons I try to stay leaner now is more to practice what I preach. I don't want to try to teach people how to eat and train when I look like I graduated from hamburger University lol. I went back to the gym today. Got some "new" used equipment. One in particular that caught my eye was this Titan leg press hack squat convertible machine. It's not capable of holding a ton of weight for leg press but even 145 lb for hack squats felt insanely heavy with this thing And I haven't felt my quads targeted that much in a very long time. So I kept the workout light and I basically did a mix of chest legs and triceps. Tomorrow on my pull day I'll skip deadlifts and hit shoulders.

As you can see I wasn't thinking about my abs 😂
I even had some churros and salted caramel ice cream after 🤷
 
That Titan combo looks like a great machine. I thought their Beltsquat was also a great budget/garage piece back when they produced it so I’m not surprised.

Food looks great!

I'm gonna look for that belt squat machine tonight! Gonna focus on legs a lot this year the same way I did chins and back last year. Chins can go in maintenance mode And I'm not benching heavy for a long while and my shoulders grow without trying so they don't need a ton of maintenance work and I can use all that extra recovery ability for legs.

that's how I've been hitting it lately. I save the barbell for heavy practice then go lighter with higher volume on the hacks, V squats, and leg press. sometimes only 1-2 plates per side but for 3-10 sets of 10 and I feel like I've had massive positive response in thickness coming back in the upper legs lately. the quads just blow up.

They no longer produce it; they made a very expensive higher end piece to replace it. The old Beltsquat was very simple - could be something to look for on the secondhand market.

Bells of Steel has a great one now similar to the old Titan one, if looking at new pieces. Was really impressed when I tried it at their Arnold booth last year & price was solid for new. Wife and I ultimately decided we didn’t have the garage space, but the footprint was reasonable.

Ideally I want a good used one, I've been really trying to find older equipment that doesn't have tons of working parts I feel like all the new stuff has too many parts that can break so that's why I've been looking at older models. But, The gym owner has been really wanting to buy more weight equipment that's not just regular free weight stuff he's looking for more machines to appeal to other people and bring more customers in for reasons other than boxing or wrestling. He's pretty well off and willing to drop the money if the group of us as a whole think it's a good purchase

My buddy did this with his PL gym and ended up with a ton of awesome stuff between reverse hypers, belt squats, awesome oly setup with platforms, boxes, sleds, some high end barbells etc. He's basically built this mecca of power lifting its just........... unorganized and his bread and butter income is silver sneakers so the PL guys often get squeezed out in favor of bill paying classes. (Which I understand, but it's why I don't go there anymore). he also does an annual "special fee" to all members, I think its like $25 in July (x's like 500 members??) to pay for new equipment, upgrades/repairs, etc.

@Smont just saw this. My curiosity is really piqued, but I have no concept of sides...

...
Click to expand...
The side effects really seem to be dose dependent and or When combining with certain things that cause interactions and honestly those are the things holding me back a little bit. Mainly the interactions that may cause serotonin syndrome cus it can last 1 day to 1 week And I've been told it feels pretty horrible. But, that doesn't happen just from methylene blue unless you take a ridiculous dose but more so when you combine methylene blue with other things that increase serotonin or are a SSRI.

I'm hopping to start Sunday. 10mg seems to have a decent amount of benefits for multiple different things without risking side effects.

I want to add here that I am very green when it comes to methylene blue 😆😆😆. Sorry I know that wasn't that funny, so I don't even know if everything I'm saying here is completely correct I need to do more reading and experimenting before I feel confident telling anybody anything as even remotely a fact

I have a buddy thats been on it for a while and he loves it, but one person using it for a couple months doesn't exactly give me faith that I understand the pros and cons yet lol. I'll definitely be looking forward to your review.
 
Found a throwback pick, I'm 18 in this picture and I might have been hale Puerto Rican too, but I think I grew out of it 😂. Everybody thought I was Hispanic growing up.

I miss being a kid 😭 and 🍺 😭😭😭
 
That’s cool….. I tan really easy too and had dark hair when I was younger, but when I was a teenager a buddy of mine’s Grandfather would tell him I like that Mexican buddy of yours, and he would say Grandpa he’s not Mexican, he has blue eyes. But he had dementia and would say it almost every time I was over there….it was cool though, I always laughed and thought it was funny. Of course we did get caught by his Dad drinking Tequila one time, so I guess that didn’t help.😂

Most of my family is Northern Italian, but I have a few Sicilians too. 2 are very dark. One looks black and probably is somewhere by her hair texture you would definitely assume she's at least half and the other looks like she's Indian/Arabic. My father is my complexion but in the summer he's dark dark. Makes my tan look like a crisp white linen

what's really funny is that my grandma looked like a full blooded souix indian, my friends used to ask if my dad was an Indian/Native American because of his tan in the summer and super shiny black hair before it grayed out. There's not an ounce of racism in our washington bones, but if you go backwards a few generations it was severe and those people never would have admitted if my grandma was Sioux or not. I've never done the DNA testing becuase consipiracy theorist, but my mom at one point did so the only thing I know for sure is that I'm very irish on my mothers side. but my darker skin and hair likely comes from my dads side (lots of red heads on moms side)

My wife is full blooded nordic, I always call her a Viking and she picks way more fights for me than I ever have, lol. Thought I was gonna die like 2 years ago when she picked a fight with this 300lb dude at a bar for being a PNW poser in perfectly cleaned hiking boots and flannel from CA, lol.

Started today, I'm thinking I will delete this thread and just start one specific to M-blue. I'd also leave it open for anybody who wants to share their experiences I would prefer its people who are currently researching the stuff. I'm trying to avoid all of the.... I heard or someone told me or I used it a long time ago And the reason being is I often take things and then down the road I take them again and the results aren't the same that I remember or maybe at the time I was doing things I normally wouldn't do, or injury or diet was poor ect. just trying to eliminate variables.

My first research today was 7.5mg diluted in water and chased with water. The taste isn't terrible but it's also not enjoyable either. It just kind of is what it is. No issue on getting it down the test tube.

Research noted a small amount of alertness and energy about 20min after administration. I do not want to say too much yet because I was expecting something like that to happen so it could have been placebo.

I had a fat free greek yogurt cup and a dark silk coffee with cream (low dose caffeine 30-40mg per cup) and hit the gym.

Did a push workout with a client and tried to put his 7year old through some beginner boxing drills to keep him occupied while we were exercising as his son is going to be taking some boxing classes but it went about as good as you can expect with a 7-year-old. And there's nothing wrong with that as long as we can keep him interested long enough to get some of the basics down he'll be fine.

So my first impression on M-blue (2.5hrs post administration) 7.5mg gave a slight boost in mood and energy and I feel productive and I have solid energy post workout. The energy does not feel like a stimulant effect I just kind of feel good and again I'm aware this could be the placebo effect because this is one of the effects I was looking to achieve.

Feel good mentally, focused energy and pain and inflammation relief is the things that I'm focusing on, I will make notes of research notes fat loss and muscle building ect. Obviously certain things are going to take time to assess.

I posted in m blue, I copied and pasted above. I think I'll start a brand new thread for methylene blue and invite others to also share @PolishHamm3r77 if you started feel free to throw in your findings
 
Question for the crowd. Has any reconstituted HGH with injectable carn? I'm wondering if the carb choline combo would get some extra benefit from the GH spiking insulin and carn and choline play a little role in insulin sensitivity and they help prevent insulin resistance. I don't think there's any major synergistic effects here but I do think there's a bunch of small positive effects if you will. What worries me is if the combination of carnitine and Jolene might crash the HGH. Certain things can denature peptides and render them far less effective if not destroy them

People think Jolene don't be like that ... But sometimes she do.

The first time it changed it to Jolene I caught it and I went back and corrected it up top I didn't realize it happened more than once. As soon as I saw the name Jolene in the post I knew exactly what happened 😭

I don’t know about reconstituting them together, because I know HGH is so fragile, but it makes a lot of sense running them all in the same cycle. I mean HGH helps anabolics and almost everything else work better, and so does Carnitine, so it makes sense they would increase the effectiveness of each other. 👍
 
So my package came in the mail, couple bottles of test couple bottles of EQ and a GH kit. Except I think he sent me two growth kits...... Any UGL growth kit I've ever seen was 10 bottles /10 IU's per bottle.

I opened up my package and there was a little cart with 10 bottles, then there was a vacuum sealed package with my test and EQ next to it And I was about to throw the wrapping out and there was another 10 of those little bottles..... I've never seen someone send 20 x 5 unit bottles before. I've actually never seen anyone send a five unit bottle.


Sooooooo..........

Did this dude just send me two kits?

IMG_20250406_142342_910.webp
 
I'm afraid to ask my guy if he sent me extra because if he did I pretty much ripped him off but I want this kit lol
 
And if he did send me 2 kits do I attempt to reconstitute with the L-Carnitine? I won't feel that bad wasting one of these bottles now if I have a whole extra kit for free. I would know immediately if it ruins the GH or not because when you denature a peptide it'll turn all cloudy and when it's done correctly it should be clear

I’ve reconstituted it with carnitine no issues. Did seem to flow a tad slower than HGH in straight bac water, but carn isn’t brewed in straight bac water so that’s to be expected.

That's good enough for me to give it a crack. I asked a few more ppl as well. I was told As long as it doesn't turn milky looking it's ok. I actually surfed through some vigorous c videos and I also found one talking about denaturing peptides and them looking milky so I think that's a safe bet. At least I hope. Any who. Il reconstitute the first bttl normal and on the second il try carn and if it goes smoothly I'll do all them with carn.

Im building up my stash for the remainder of the year.

Test
EQ
cel epiandro
Some old PRE DMZ (not sure When that'll be for but I wanted it;)
Tons of MA products. Serms, sarms, ai, carn, m blue, gw, ect.
And now HGH.

Next order goes in May 1st. 2 more GH kits
Test
Mast
Var
Tren ace (no sure when this will be for either but I like having a bottle or 2)

And next ma research order slu and dada


My plan is to run some of the cycle just like I would previously in the past without GH. But now adding three units before bed.

I won't be logging but il update occasionally when it's worth doing.

Starting 450 test, 300 EQ, 3 units GH next weekend and then hopefully adding some carn first thing in the morning and with my of the GH and that's my summer cycle.

Maybe if I can get this strength competition up and running for the gym I'll use the DMZ on the tail end into that competition
 
Last edited:
I have a little over 200 caps of the cel StanoPlex 300mg epi per cap. I may just use that with test and save the EQ actually
 
Subbing this thread.

Also, is the DMZ still good, as in, it hasn't expired?

I always liked it. Body responded well to it. I knew a RC place that would sell it but they no longer carry it.

Honestly I didn't check the date but they're good years past their expiration dates as long as they're stored properly
 
It's been about a week on HGH. I did 2iu for a few days before bed and the past few days I took 1am and 3 post workout (9pm) so still kinda before bed. I'm a tiny bit more tired in the morning. I look extra dry in the morning and feel a bit dehydrated too. I also had low BP on the days I took telmasartin since on GH. I think the combo of dehydration and telmasartin GH is all part of that equation.

91/64 was BP but with a 101 bpm resting heart rate at 11pm. 2 nights in a row. The second night I chugged water all night long took a bunch of hydration supplements and then I woke up in the morning with 135/81 and 85 bpm.

Very bizarre The day I checked my blood pressure the first time that it was low I thought it was high because my heart was racing. Anywho I think after I take my growth hormone shot I get a little drop in blood pressure and my heart rate spikes at least that's what it appears to be.

I decided to drop tomasartan completely and I'm going down from 7.5 tadalifil 3 mg a day and see what happens

That's interesting. BP is one of those things I always watch since i've had too many people I know have heart related issues that they were not aware of. I actually need to do a better job of checking BP more periodically. I check about every 1-2 weeks to make sure it's in range. I used to check every morning but scaled it back.

I used to check it every morning too but then I start getting in my own head so I try to only do it once or twice a week or if I feel like something's off and usually nothing's off but it doesn't hurt to check. This morning no issues at all. 121/84

Ya I noticed they stopped selling those. I wouldn't buy from them anyways though because if we're talking about the same supplier I had ordered a few bottles from them and they came unsealed, basically it looked like someone poured the liquid in a bottle screwed a cap on it and threw it in the mail. It wasn't the first time I had issues with the potential sterility of their products and their trest was underdosed back in the day. We actually had a guy here who thought there trest was bunk And he said he was going to go get blood work and post his blood work results but they never got posted up so I don't know what happened That was just kind of recently

Their glutathione also came reconstituted, and crashed right away when I stored it in the refrigerator. When I emailed them, they said “just don’t refrigerate it”.

Soooo, I'm going up to 5 units post workout 5 nights a week , the other 2 days I'm just gonna do a unit with fasted cardio or nothing. I'm not chasing up the dose because of a lack of results, I'm getting results on 4. I actually haven't noticed much but everybody else apparently does and I'm just kind of standing in the mirror today and realizing like I look really wide and my waist looks tighter and dosing for I use 5 days a week makes me have to draw 2 units then start a new bttl and doing five a day just makes more sense I just do half the bottle one day half a bottle the next. Needless to say I'm staying on GH for a while lol. And upping my cycle. But just going to run 450 test 450 EQ and more epiandro. If things get dry I'll make adjustments but I do good with 50/50 on these 2 and the epiandro doesn't seem to change much. I take the whole dose pre-workout too.

So I went to make a order for 3 more kits, and he's out:( check back in 2 weeks:( WTF) other source has it but it's more $$ and I haven't tried it obviously.

I'm thinking about staying on 5 units all summer and slowly building up the cycle. I definitely want to throw in 100-150mg of tren ace for June/July. Maybe 5-6 week. I'm getting excited because I've been stagnant in visual progress for a while. I've just been kind of maintaining with small tweaks up and down.

I basically lost 5lbs last week (Don't remember the exact number I mentioned it a few post back I believe) But basically I lost 5 lb last week and gained 5 lb back this week and I look different lol leaner, wider, and rounder. Nothing crazy, but noticable in a very short time
 
Talk to text butchered some of that GH talk in the middle.

I hate dosing 4,4,2=10 And I got to start a new bottle.
It's easier to do 5,5 and start a new one the next day
