Looking good Brother!
Thanks much! Got some quick travel this week then looking forward to switching gears when getting back this weekend..waiting on my MyQuest bloodwork to pop up in the app here today hopefully.Looking good Brother!
Ha you beat me to it, yes I was on TRT but clearly too low a dose. This is why I need proper Urologist dose titration.. as the measly old 60mg/week script (actually this was 100mg of Test Cyp) ain't cutting it. Now when I was using Test E 300, at full power I was off the charts on the high end >3000.You weren’t on your TRT during Msten, right? That’s why the test is low, yes?
If this draw was one week after finishing the orals, I would say it’s fine/normal.
Thanks, should up it up and done tonight. I got mine free too, lol, everyone and awhile Amazon says "hey keep it, don't return, we don't want to bother restocking that beast" like I got a $300 fire pit that way too, lolz.Power tower will be a great addition. I really wish we had space for one. We have had a couple opportunities to get old ones for free/super cheap but we didn’t have room in the garage and wife wasn’t sure the neighbors would go for one sticking out over our fence on the side of the house
Amen, gotta sometimes just ask for forgiveness, haha. But with the wife you need to be in good standing with a trade chore (more housecleaning, fixes).Well if they are free it is easy to find out what they think. LOL
Well 🩹 diet wise trying to eat cleaner again and taking GNC 50+ megaman muli + K2/D2 + Berberine + Natto Kinase.So what are you doing to improve your low HDL? I would be a lil concerned with how low it is and high your LDL is.
Back this again, it looks for now I'll just stay on the Nutriissa Cycle support (has a CoQ10, garlic, magnesium heart complex in it). I know @Hyde mentioned the Bergemot. But it's a bit pricey. I will try and cut high sat fat, reduce sugar intake, etc..So what are you doing to improve your low HDL? I would be a lil concerned with how low it is and high your LDL is.
Yeah good point. But as long as I'm not letting a bunch of LDL deposit and clot the pipes... Then I guess I'll just bang up cardio more to assist then.Every time you use orals, expect your HDL to crash. Nothing really raises it significantly back up except time, and lots of cardio, allegedly.
Yeah currently, their policy says if I cancel the $49/mo virtual gym experience (after the first 12 mo's subscription) then basically it sounds like I would get generic "bar / rope / handle moves" and it doesn't seem to let me save "custom exercises".Wow it took the database away? So does that mean you can't really track your workouts if you do lifts that are not in the database or how does it effect the functionality of it?
I am with this, of course I do not park my car in a garage. It isn't a collectors item or investment, and it is built to be out in the elements by it's very design. So Flex lives in the driveway. See he even has a name, but can't go in the garage. LOLWell if you do think you may go with something that will displace your ability to park your car anyway, get some free weights. I mean if you decide to go that route at a point you can move your power tower in and get a cheap power rack/barbell/weight set. Plus a cable setup and you’re really cooking with gas.
Yep already got the free weights, in the quick change format. Two range of quick change dumbbells, ez curl and straight bar with quick change. Tonals been getting all the love, but I now feel strong enough to give these guys a go again for sure.Well if you do think you may go with something that will displace your ability to park your car anyway, get some free weights.

Titan you say? If it's the same company, then I have their roman-chair /hyperextension bench already.. I'll take a look, thanks! I need the pulley constant tension, I feel like the magnetic resistance on Tonal makes a big difference in getting pumps going and yeah. But gravity dual pulley stack would be the same thing.. if I can get one that fits.I am with this, of course I do not park my car in a garage.

Honestly though, Titan has some reasonably priced folding wall mounted power racks that wouldn't take up much room. One of those and their wall mounted pulley system and you have everything you need. I am actually about to order the wall mounted pulley system myself in the next month as that is the one thing I am missing in my garage since my son bought me the irontech set. No pulley / cable stuff which I do miss. Then again just move the Tonal to a different wall and you have that more than covered.
120lbs is the max with the extra plates kit. This was a compromise since I was stuff in a small west coast townhome, now in a larger TX house. The dumbbells go-to 55lbs and 95lbs respective. It's a nice set was all I could get during C19 before the house move.So what weight does the quick change straight bar go up to, fully-loaded?
Working on it, got some product research and Ebay planning to do lol, but for now I can rock the Tonal.and DBs for a bit . Man check out this sweet compact functional trainer from Rep fitness though. For a non computerized tonal alternative with more weight per side.Yeah 120 is fine for isolation stuff or overhead likely and the dbs are nice for sure, but just a cheap used beater barbell and a set of pairs of used 45/35/25/10/5/2.5 really can be made to take up very little space and would allow 250lb bb floor presses, deadlifts, lunges, rows, clean & press, & frontsquats as heavy as you can learn to clean. Buy a small set of squat stands and now you can squat, benchpress, good mornings, etc (I am still a proponent of power rack so you have safety, but a barbell and stands has a very very thin profile when put away). Or get a fold out half rack like Mr Kleen said!
=Sucks to hear about. I wish I had something useful to say. If you want to be there for your kids I’d say divorce is a bad plan unless it’s the only option to protect them from worse fighting, because usually the woman gets everything and that separation is very hard on kids and you from them. I’m not sure what she gets in TX if you did divorce her.
As frustrated as you are with her laziness/lack of desire to meet you, if you know you would rather try to work it out and rekindle things then live accordingly. Great things in life are never easy. Right or wrong, pursue her with three times the effort she puts into you. A beach and cocktails for a week or even two won’t fix things anyway, fun as they would be. Leaving her hidden notes, doing extra chores, running bubble baths and bringing home her favorite dinner or drinks - hustle for that ass like you’re 18 & trying to get pussy again.
You got it. It’s not about how it should be or what’s fair or ideal, it’s about what it is. And what it is, is that people can be petty. Women especially, as they are the more emotional/less rational of the two genders. And you could be busy building her an empire, give her Rome itself, but if that means you weren’t spending enough personal time on her (rather, for her), it won’t matter to her in the end.=
I probably just needed to hear this, thanks brother, "Great things in life are never easy. Right or wrong, pursue her with three times the effort she puts into you. A beach and cocktails for a week or even two won’t fix things anyway, fun as they would be. Leaving her hidden notes, doing extra chores, running bubble baths and bringing home her favorite dinner or drinks - hustle for that ass like you’re 18 & trying to get pussy again."

Gotta fight resentment, then execute this... She promised to not shut me out, get babysitter and make time even after inlaws are gone... and I promised to more or less make up for not really being romantic or dating much... Guess women do that passive payback stuff, even if not Intentional. Id thought all the other good stuff made up for that period of low romance back then.. but no... Lol.
Dammit man, put some pants on.... Reported lolOK fair enough - End of 2017 >> 2018 - basically was ending a bulk here - last photos I have before Seizure July 2018 and BF was 14-16% or so. See (EDIT) above on age and realistic goals. Was in full on "new dad" mode.
<I promise to buy a selfie stick and actually clean-up, take pose photos... As you can tell damn near impossible to "flex" while holding a phone, definitely need hands free if you're not a pro at posing, flexing>
Maybe realistic (given my long-term diet issues) is 210 @ 10-12%, not really - 7-8%. Given certain long-term diet issues, never really been able to beat the sugar addiction fully.
However, if I say were to get some TX-heat + run full court basketball for a summer I'd have my 20-something Air Force abs back.
> I'm going to try a cut here, after I get strong/flexible again with the Mecha. Rowing + lifting + lean proteins / veggies / rice only for spring-summer. Probably employ 3-AD, Thermoamp from Iconic, and 1-Andro..
> Being the tall ectomorph, I never really had "love handles" until mid 30's, when my cardio basketball/running/V-ball all ceased.
> In this case... I've done all bulk up, some recomp, no real "cuts" perse. Battling the spare-tire is new for me.
Haha! Yo' good to see you back Godstrength!Dammit man, put some pants on.... Reported lol
What's happenin PF
How's life treating ya?Dammit man, put some pants on.... Reported lol
What's happenin PF
Good stuff. And Special K it is. **** even Aaron Rodgers going to Peru for that Ayahuasca mind expansion.Lol Life's treating me good man, go back and re-read my above post if you get a chance I edited it.... I'm still here down south still hammerin' that iron and still fighting the good fight brosef. Good to see some old friends, it's been a while.
Just be careful man, and be honest with yourself... I know you took off a lot of time from lifting and working out and I'm not sure if you stayed on the test the whole time or not but just look back and see if the situation that has recently unfolded was in any way made worse by you. If it has then I'd say start with manning up, owning that shyt and apologizing to your wife, in-laws and whoever else.... I do this all the time, it's good practice. I call it cleaning up my side of the street. If you do it right and sincerely it disarms the people you're asking for forgiveness from.... The key is to do it for you, not them! If you expect them to admit their part you're missing it. Just clean up your side of the street, then put the ball in their court no expectations.How's life treating ya?
Good stuff. And Special K it is. **** even Aaron Rodgers going to Peru for that Ioasca mind expansion.
I remember even unguided but good mushroom trips in my twenties had benefit some solid CBT + controlled Ketamine therapy sounds good to me.
Let go and see new light hopefully.
Aaron Rodgers talks ayahuasca experience, how it helped get him back in the game
Aaron Rodgers is entering the 2022 season as the two-time reigning NFL MVP and in a recent podcast interview, he credited a groovy experience with a psychedelic that helped his mindset.www.fox6now.com
Yes that is exactly what I was referring to. I wanted to do 2 of them as well kind of make a crossover type set up. Between that, an adjustable set of DB's and a solid hex bar for deads / dead squats and you could really build up a solid set up where you could push your entire body.Yo @MrKleen73 - is this the Titan wall mount pulley tower!?
$250 * 2 would be great.. $500 for Could even sell the Tonal and the Bowflex Selecttech gear and rebuild with other gear Hyde noted.
Hmm still really like the Tonals "gym experience" just sucks they kill the workout menu when you cancel the $49/mo (makes it like a simple functional trainer then) soo... I can switch to Titan two 350*lb single towers, bolted to the wall when I've exhausted Tonal and want to sell it. Sooo much cheaper than a V split functional trainer $2.5-3k.
I see what you mean now . Shoot bro just give me a link next time!
We actually had some productive conversation breakthrough and romance since my last posts.... The love is still there, can be improved and just gotta now adapt to new school schedules, and with no I laws until next March when they come back to Texas to stay. We can get past each other resentment it seems for stupid broken communication lines...Oh on the other thing I agree with @Hyde and @Godstrength got to get in there and work at it. Make sure none of your behavior while on your last few cycles could have been a part of her pushing away from you also. I had to make a deal with my wife that if a cycle ever took me to a place I couldn't keep my cool then I would stop. I have held up my part of the deal and stopped a cycle where I couldn't stop being an ass. Showing someone they are your priority is has a huge effect on what they are willing to accept and or do for you.
The wife and I will be celebrating 20 years of marriage Dec 15th, and we got here by trying to keep the love alive. By me flirting with her every day, and hugging, holding each other and kissing often. leaving her cards, surprising her with notes or on occasion flowers. It really doesn't take a lot of effort. Go buy 5 cards and just have them ready, leave one on the pillow in the morning, or in the seat of the car where she will find it on her way to work. If you have them already you can do something like that which will make a huge difference in how she feels. Make her feel pursued, desired, and appreciated. Make arrangements for a sitter and reservations for dinner, don't offer the idea, just do it for her and let her know you have a date that day. You know, the same stuff you did to get her to say yes are the same things you should be doing to make her feel yes was the right answer. Obviously money isn't your issue so even though her parents might not be available any more you can find someone to watch the kids for a date night.
Unfortunately as Hyde said if she is resentful toward you for whatever she feels your part in all of this is then it will be one sided for a bit. The last thing you want to do is keep score so don't. Just do because you want better for both of you and you don't care who is / was wrong so long as you all can get back to being happy.
Oh yeah @Hyde, Texas is a community property state so she gets a minimum of 50% of all assets, and could possibly get alimony, plus child support is 25% of income for 1st born child and it goes up from there. So as the saying goes it is "Cheaper to keep her!"
This, plus with the option I gave you will probably want the plates to do some dead squats / dead lifts too. Then when done with the hex bar lean it back up against the wall. Still plenty room to park the car. Weights are still pretty reasonable on craigs list of FB marketplace.Glad to hear it!
Yeah you will pay 4x as much for having a built-in weight stack vs plate-loaded!
Thank you! Here's the end of phase 1, still WIP. But making progress. Finished the 150' of french drain, stone down, and mulched and brick ringed all around the 9k sq.ft. yard.Some serious yard work!
