31g basic slinpin, probably 3/10ā or something, tiny as they come - it draws & flows smoothly, and itās only 10 units total volume.
My Glow is 10/10/50 BPC/TB/GHK and I have it reconstituted with 2.5ml, so Iām getting 400mcg BPC & TB500 each per shot with 2,000mcg/2mg GHK per 10 unit nightly shot.
Just to clarify, the injection site hurt? Or when you went to take a pee it hurt..... I hate to break it to ya buddy, that's the clap
Just busting your balls, pretty much everything I've read about that mentions painful injections. Some ppl, maybe vigorous Steve or anabolic bodybuilding said it was absolutely horrible pain lol. But it seems to be very Beneficial. Seems like most of the people who like it are willing to deal with the injection pain
At this volume and with the traditional tiny slinpin, itās not that bad. I wouldnāt say horrible, just be aware. But I specifically do wait until bedtime lol
Yeah thatās the ranges Iāve seen for daily GHK copper use.
The healing aspects of BPC and GHK are local though, which is what Iām using them for, not the systemic. So you canāt just put it in the hip if you wanted to heal your pec or adductor faster. Thatās the catch with this stuff.

I didn't cook that late but I fell asleep before I ate my last meal and I woke up around 2:00 in the morning and decided to make a big ass plate before I went back to bed
It was either that or I was going to eat a whole row of Oreos.
I made a big pot of rice with a tablespoon of chili crisp and some herb and garlic seasoning. Through two of those Taco thingies together and then I just chunked up some rotisserie chicken for extra protein.
It's not that abnormal for someone to wake up in the middle of the night and find me eating a meal or demolishing a box of Pop-Tarts lol. I wish I was hungry like that during the day

I need to call a meeting of the mindless, gather round gentleman, I've got a predicament.
Just planned a last minute vacation for Valentine's Day weekend.
For the next 12 days or so before I leave......
Do I keep eating and say who cares
Or do I just pump the brakes a little bit until after vacation.
Here's the issue, I want to keep eating and let everything run its course. But subconsciously I'm a crazy person and I know I'm going to go do cardio now. So maybe I just clean up the food choices a little bit better and do a little extra cardio to put my mind at ease for the next 12 days I'm going to pig out on vacation anyways.
The real stupid Factor here is nothing's going to change dramatically in the next 10 to 12 days this is all just mental gymnastics dancing around in my head lol.
Because I'm not going on any crazy mini cuts and dropping 15 lb in 2 weeks and I'm not going to be able to eat at maintenance and cardio myself into a better physique in 12 days either lol.
Sooooo...........
Protein and Pop-Tarts? Or chicken , rice and cardio

I would probably stick to the plan, because like you said itās mainly a mental thing for you. But if you did drop some weight by the time you go, that might bother you in the end with the old 2 steps forward 1 step back, and that could get in your head as well. Either way itās really not a big deal for your goal, so just do what makes you comfortable.

If youāre like me when Iām out of town, I have an issue getting in enough food everyday. My wife and I will get caught up with something and next thing you know weāre starving and itās almost time to eat dinner.

We don't drink and we don't go out. The whole vacation is pretty much centered around places to eat. But to be fair if this was summertime and we went to some kind of an amusement park with the kids, I lose weight on every type of vacation like that. Because it's like you said, we're busy doing stuff enjoying the day having fun and next thing you know it's like oh we should probably go eat something.
This trip is literally just 2-3 days away from home and work, to eat and maybe find something interesting while we are there.
There's no actual plans in this trip outside of eating and relaxing lol

same here, I love them. What I've been doing is a bodyweight set of 10-15 and the first couple reps are probably only a half rep, then they get progressively lower until I can get good and deep and I switch to TUT/paused reps then add weight. but the first few reps are always a bit of a pop and grind, snapple and crack.

Especially if she feels more comfortable with you heavier, and your plan is to get heavier now, you should stick to the plan and do that.
Maybe bump your test a couple hundred for the next 2 weeks so you really want to get after her for the weekend, and donāt forget the Tadalfil. Even more than the extra hardness you wonāt really need, it just seems like it happens more with it tossed in. Between a little extra test & that it will stand up when the wind blows.

Ive been shoveling down food regardless, and my weight won't go over 205 right now. 205.4 to be exact. Still bouncing from 201-205.
Also made a big chicken soup from the rotisserie chicken carcass and a lot of wraps with that chickpea protein breaded chicken breasts.
I know, the answer is eat more.
Yesterday was a full body type workout but it was a lot of pull also
*Incline DB press, I went up to the 90's which were a good weight, but unfortunately I need help setting up with them.
*Overhead press and pushups superset
*Gladiator deadlifts
*Box jumps (42" x 6) new PR for a set
*Farmers walks
*Weighted chins (55x5,5,5)
*Supported DB row (50's x 20,20,18)
*Cable pulldown (200x20,18,14,10)
*Cable pullover (60x20,20,20)
*Standing duel cable curl big stretch at the bottom. Didn't count reps.
Post workout meal I forgot to take pictures but I made a wrap with 6oz of that chicken with a big bowl of chicken soup and I washed it down with a vanilla protein shake. Then I had some leftover from that kielbasa and potatoes, and then I had 20oz of whole milk and 4 Pop-Tarts
201.2 this morning

Thatās pretty wild with as much as your eating that you canāt get over 205. Your metabolism must still be through the roof. Just the kielbasa and potatoes by itself is loaded with calories, but with the soup, wrap, and shake, thatās crazy you weighed in a little lighter at 201.Ive been shoveling down food regardless, and my weight won't go over 205 right now. 205.4 to be exact.

would be interesting if you had done a semi-legit dexa scan or something at the beginning of this to now to see if maybe there are some small body composition changes occurring that you're not seeing like a lowering of BF possibly? maybe a little anabolism putting on some lean mass and consuming calories/burning more fat than you expected?
I suspect you'll see the backwards woosh though soon and the scale will catch up

Nice work on the training session and PR; anything over 100s on dbs is a waste of energy trying to get into position. DBs are just for volume work once that becomes easy weight, and you have to use a barbell for real lifting,
You are probably eating more protein than you need, which could be calories from carbs or fat that are easier to consume. Even in a delicious soup, chicken is a tough way to hit a surplus. Try a bit more pasta & rice & add more breads as a side at meals. Also consider bumping the whole fat Fairlife intake to 3 cups a day. Just 12-16oz with 3 meals is going to be 5-700 calories of cardio-protective milk fats and make up the extra protein youād lose by eating less lean meat and more carbs at meals.

I have noticed that keeping my protein and fats the same and increasing or decreasing carbs is the switch from fat loss to growth phase. Obviously if you do a cut and come in heavier from the last time when lean, then bump protein to support retention of new tissue

I definitely look more muscular, I don't usually notice it untill I'm standing next to someone and can see us both in the mirror. Most of the day after my first or second meal my gut looks all bloated to me, but when I wake up in the morning I always have abs lol. It's weird. In the middle of the day I'll be like 208 and I'll look like I'm rocking a food baby haha, but I wake up in the morning and I still look like I'm on a cut it's crazy how much it changes throughout the course of the day

How did the cottage cheese mixture taste? I can eat it if itās mixed with something.Grabbed some whole milk, that's a easy switch, also grabbed some cottage cheese and avocado oil.

Wasn't bad at all. I hate plain cottage cheese but I don't mind it when it's combined with salad dressings or certain ingredients because it takes on other flavors very well. One cool way to eat cottage cheese is to put it in a blender and whip it up. You can use it in place of ricotta for lasagnas and stuffed shells or basically any dish.

It's metabolism, my lifestyle has me burning like 3,000+ calories a day.
I know the amount of stuff I do is ridiculous for the average person to be able to fit it in, I've kind of tailored my life around work, the gym and my garden. But if any of you guys started doing what I do you would need to eat as much as I eat after a certain amount of time.
It's definitely a good problem to have 99% of the time. I discontinued SLU completely about 2 weeks ago. My cardio is down to 2-3 low to moderate intensity days and 3-4 days lifting.
I can easily get to 220 with Chinese food and pizza, Pop-Tarts and zebra cakes, yum. But like Hyde said above, I don't want to get fat. Now I don't mind some fat, but it's hard to eat 4000 cal without a lot of garbage.
I plugged in my macros today and my macros from good reasonably clean foods
175ish protein
250ish carbs
70ish fat
2800ish calories and another 1000 calories from junk.
I could/should eat more carbs, and I think I'm going to go with Hyde's approach of more bread and pasta as those are foods I enjoy eating so I know I'll eat more of them

Yeah, and Smont really does have an extremely high metabolism. Between his physical job and training, his metabolism is so high that I wouldnāt be surprised if his maintenance calories is somewhere between 3500 to 4000 calories. And like you said, Hyde, gear bumps it up even more, and he doesnāt want to gain too much extra fat. Itās definitely a challenge, not including Pop-tarts, to get in 4500+ clean calories. But I do agree with what you and others have said on increasing the carbs is key. Thatās mainly what Iāve had the most success with with bulks in the past, was increasing carbs. Of course I know we all know that, but a big bulk can be just as difficult as an extreme cut, when youāre not just trying to do a dirty bulk. I do think itās worth a shot adding more pasta type meals, potatoes, and even cheese along with whole milk just to see how the scale moves. And just back off those if the waist is growing quicker than you want. Of course thereās already been a lot of great suggestions, but you just have to be able to choke all that food down.

Ha, I agreeā¦.. I was typing all that out just as you posted this.
My maintenance calories is around 3000 to 3200 at 242 lbs, so yours is more than mine at 40 lbs lighter. Thatās why I was thinking you probably need to be in that 4000+ range to move the needle. Thatās a lot of food.

You might be right, going by what I've been eating, my maintenance is probably more like 3500+. I really do spend pretty much every minute on my feet until about 830pm. And from 830-11 I'm usually making trips back and forth from the couch to the refrigerator lol.Ha, I agreeā¦.. I was typing all that out just as you posted this.

Today I've had 3 coffee with cream, a Dunkin donuts breakfast sandwich, a protein bar, a banana, a chicken and rice meal, Greek yogurt with peanut butter and strawberries before the gym, a 32oz Gatorade with ease, those tostada things in that picture and Im stuffed,
but I'm gonna have to slam another 500+

Yeah man when youāve been eating for so long to stay in shape, and then you try to steadily bump up the calories in that 3500 to 4000 range that can be tough, especially when trying to keep it somewhat healthy without too much junk food. I donāt know if you like bagels, but a bagel with cream cheese is a good chunk of calories, but they can also fill you up. Truthfully a lot of times it may just come down to at the end of the day just force feeding one more meal.
