yeah also true. and its even harder mon-fri after work. brain tired, body not. forcing the body to break down further so it can sleep correctly when brain already shutting down is hard and tbh I... -
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Yes, exactly. lol That has worked on occasion, but the catch for me is I really have to eat to match the kcal I’ve burned when doing that, or else I just create a larger deficit which aggravates...
-
I feel for you, my sleep gets rough only on occasion, but it really wears on you when it does. When my neck was waking me up nightly things got pretty rough and it was so hard to maintain a...

I think its normal for modern society, I can't speak for you guys, but for me, lifestyle plays a big roll. spend all day sorta taxing the brain with legit fast paced multitasking in a high tech...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.What’s your estimated 1RM on each of the 3 big lifts plus OHP right now? Forgive the italics.

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Check edit. Autocorrect fails.
-
yup I get it. winter time here its dark by 4pm so going to bed between 8-8:30 is easy for me. in the spring, the sun is cresting about the time I wake up anyways so its the perfect rhythm. but...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Yeah, at our age, real life prevents a 8pm bed time. In addition, going to bed at 8pm then waking up at 3am wouldn’t solve the rest of “wired and tired” feeling that goes with it. It’s not a...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Nah. Going to sleep is usually fine no matter what outside looks like, it’s just waking up too early. Unless, like I described above, if 8mg daily, and 500kcal deficit, I start crashing at 8pm...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.I’m not sure if 8mg daily messes with my sleep anymore, but a couple months ago I would’ve said sleep. I’ve never done 8mg daily with calories this high (only 200-300kcal deficit usually now), so...
-
If you take 8 daily, does anything take a hit besides some elevation of hemoglobin/crit? Perhaps DHEA could possibly be an option if you just need a bit more water/padding but don’t want to go to...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Yes, still alternating. I’m still waiting on the testosterone and e2 results, but this is where I am… Sleeping well (for me, 6-7 hours), restful. Anxiety fairly controlled. Water retention...

Made it back yesterday, got 3 sessions in not much but did the big 3 and some fluff. Just worked straight thru and did 12-14 hr days. Be back home until the week after the 4th 🤘🏻 Yesterday...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Had some blood work redrawn, and partial results are back. This makes so much more sense given how I feel and dose.

The healing peptides (BPC, Tb500, GHK etc) work and are absolutely worth it as needed. The GH-releasing peptides cost as much or more than GH, take more shots/effort, and don’t work nearly as...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.So expensive…what do you think of mk-677 or other peptides?
-
Yeah it’s more of a cost thing. Even 2iu is $4/day.

Stacking some really good days on top of one another lately. Another really good session this AM, 0 RIR week. M5, Wk4, D1 Working sets, Bench Press, 3 sets Machine Flys, 3 sets EZ bar curls, 3... -
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Right on. It’s been 8 hours since the workout and I still feel the burn lol

The crossbody lateral raise is definitely the best medial delt activation I’ve ever had; I don’t really do them because I don’t often train at the commercial gym when I do lateral raises and the...

another side note: recently found out how to use my insurance for gym fees. it doesn't cover ALL of it, but it cuts my regular gym in half so instead of like $50/month its around $22 I think...

ah yeah we did too I finally sprung for the premium claude cause my wife and I use it a lot for the homesteading projects. keeps track of our fertilizing schedules, chicken raising, planning their...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.I like Claude too, and cursor, but I burn up my usage on this with crypto projects lol I do use grok premium also.

If anyone can find the og video kleen had posted, he does a demo seated, and talks about finding the right pendulum rom as well. it might take me a few reps at a light weight to find the correct...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.No no, this trip isn’t to Europe. We are planning another Europe trip but not for a few years. This one is to Puerto Rico. I’ll try those rear db swings either today or Wednesday. And yes...

Is Poland where you are going this time? I have never been to Europe, that sounds awesome! I have never really liked reverse peck deck, probably for similar reasons to you, but I tend to throw...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Weight: 213.6 Pizza, wings and ice cream last night. Frustrated by the lack of cut progress so figured I’d reset. Prolly won’t make any progress by vacation, or minimal at best, but considering...
