  1. Pepti-Plex - Natural Anabolic Muscle Builder - Powered by AI Discovered Natural Anabolic Peptides

    I’m 5 days in - I picked up 3 bottles from flex it recently. I am noticing better recovery time and less joint aches. Anabolic effect is usually my go to but I wanted to try something different to support my new hobby. I’ve been playing competitive pickleball 2-3 times a week for 2-3 hours a...

  2. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    You are right, I got that test done and it was a 4 on a “< 30” benchmark. I’m just going to add that urine test to my annual panels. I concluded I was taking too much creatine or enough to elevate it above my usual reading.

  3. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Thanks for checking in. I took 3 days off lifting and 1 week off creatine and my number dropped from 1.59 to 1.39. I read it can take 4-6 weeks to fully flush out of the system. I’ll look of astragalus, thanks. Since my levels dropped and eGFR is within normal range and my uACR test does not...

  4. Bigger biceps?

    You’re going to want exercises that hit the biceps, brachialis, and forearms effectively and like others said good nutrition and not neglecting triceps is important. These are my go to: 1. Cross body dumbbell hammer curls - works the front bicep very well 2. Standard supinated dumbbell curl and...

  5. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Got the updated number after at least 1 week with no creatine or leucine - 1.39 (drop from 1.59). My normal reference point is 1.2-1.35 and I am still waiting on uACR (albumin creatinine ratio). I will also get a cystatin c test at some point. The fact that it went down is promising. I was...

  6. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    yup, at least 3x a week plus cardio. In general I use light/moderate weight, 10-12 rep, 4-6 sets per exercise. I do get DOMS often and push myself hard. I am muscular, 35 y/o white male. At this point I’m just maintaining what I’ve built in my 20s and early 30s. I agree on the one size comment...

  7. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Yeah the night before I had an hour long volleyball game in extreme heat, and was fasting after. Probably didn’t have enough water

  8. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Going for retest tomorrow - have not lifted since Friday, been drinking lots of water, cut out creatine and protein power (since 7/14), kept everything else the same. Also been taking some milk thistle

  9. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Bucked up black rainbow rush Bucked up pumpocalypse They are single serving packs I bought in bulk from supplement hunt. I usually split it up over the day. Only been taking these for a month or less and I would say over the past 15 yrs I’ve always taken a pwo so nothing really new unless it’s...

  10. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Sounds like a plan! I was going to schedule it for next Friday. So last workout could be Monday or this weekend. Should I stop all PWO as well? I take some on non training day to help recovery

  11. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Creatinine 1.59 EGFR 58 BUN range 7-25, reading is 21 BUN / creatinine ratio range 6-22, reading is 13 Regarding water intake, probably not enough. I probably had at least 16oz prior to the test. I am now keeping track of it better by using a 60oz jug and drinking at least 1 of them a day. I...

  12. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Thanks guys. I’m inclined to take several days off of lifting before the next test to get an accurate baseline. I’ve been taking less nitro tech as well since each scoop has 3g creatine and a bunch of aminos. I checked the dates and I lifted on a Monday and got the test done on Wednesday morning...

  13. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Thanks @Hyde so I should have at least a couple of rest days before bloodwork, and shouldn’t get it done if I have DOMS. My TSH was also high (5.x) but I have hypothyroidism and am on a high dose, and some supplements interfere with it. I’m leaning towards cutting out creatine completely (no no...

  14. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    @Hyde are those numbers with creatine usage as well?

  15. Test results- eGFr and creatinine

    Thank you, I didn’t know about this one but I read about cystatin c and reached out to PCP about it but have not heard back. Will keep this one in mind too
