I had 50mg SD a few years back. I would break them in half and use 25 pre workout, but I did do 50 for week. Felt fine but if you look at the bigger picture, I was on 25 for 2 weeks and 50 for 1 week and stopped. I'm sure if I ride it out, there would have been more serious issues. If you only had 3 weeks to make the fastest transformation possible. SD, winni and tren ace would be my stack. I feel like those are the three things that cause the fastest changes. Warning, SD + tren is really weird on your blood sugar. They both will drop it and you can go hypo. But at the same time, you can absolutely pound carbs (given total calories are in check) but you can demolish carbohydrates and just look better and better on those two if your fairly lean to being with.
Not sure why I went off on that tangent lol.
I definitely have figured out a few cheat codes along the way. I think the 6 months I spent on SLU PP 332 made some real recomposition this year. Also, I eat my biggest meal before bed (which is also my post-workout meal) and I typically include some junk in or after that meal, and of course if you've ever been any of my logs you know I have a binge eating problem so sometimes it can be really bad lol. But extended release metformin with my last meal of the day. I also do a ton of cardio via boxing and heavy bag work lots of conditioning type cardio. I know that's not feasible for a lot of people, but if I didn't binge from time to time I wouldn't really need that intense extra cardio anyways. But I do think there's a real benefit into people finding a sport or hobby that they enjoy that also involves being cardio fit. That way you get your cardio in while doing something you like instead of dreading cardio. I'm not saying go run some full court basketball games, but finding something that makes you sweat that you enjoy doing will take your cardio and overall fitness up a notch. I feel like as we get older that is the missing component to maintaining your fitness and being in shape. Especially if you played sports all throughout your childhood. Although I had like a 10-year period where I did a lot of drinking I still played a lot of recreational sports with my friends. Staying active definitely helps.
Go hiking
Shoot the basketball around
Bike rides
Get a punching bag
In the summertime I even like going to the batting cages once in awhile, I was really good when I was younger and I realized that I suck now but you'd be surprised what a core workout you get from swinging a baseball bat a couple hundred times after not doing it for 10 years



but think about that, think about how detrained my obliques and all those little muscles have to be if I'm getting sore from swinging a baseball bat. When I was a kid we would play five six days a week and I never had any soreness from swinging a baseball bat. Might have blisters on my hands but......
I think those childhood type activities that we give up as we're adults really f**** up our level of fitness
