The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

[Smont]

Man, I have missed so much of this, I have no clue how i didn't know you were logging. I have just seen you [osting and thought I wonder if he is logging and I find 7 months worth of posts. I spent way to long reading various posts trying to catch up.

I hope your knees continue to improve. I am also very hungry now after running through so much food porn. I should be in here from now on as long as the sub doesn't drop or something.

There's been a lot going on, but not a lot of anything worthwhile lol. It's been a pretty lackluster log and I kind of gave up . I was having a really good run for a little bit in the beginning, I stalled out within a few months, I started making some strength and size gains again in (April to early may I believe?) and then I want to say sometime in the middle of May everything went to s***.

I also have been on cycle for a really long time, I never got up to any of the doses that I was planning but I just kind of kept the cycle going from like January until a few weeks ago, I had one break in between where I dropped down to just a milliliter of test and then went back on cycle, and now I'm back to just a milliliter of test. So maybe just all around the board I needed to take a break and start over.

I was temporarily excited when I threw the dbol in. I had a 3-day transformation that looked like 2 months worth of progress and then I got heartburn, acid reflux, itchy nipples, and my knee exploded

My guy finally has mast back in stock. I'm planning a order for test/mast/HGH for a fall run once everything is feeling better

I have like 4 bottles of mast I have been holding on to for when I am whole enough to run a cycle. At this point it almost feels like that ain't gonna happen, but I think many of us lifers have gone through periods where things are so broken we feel as if we will never be able to train hard again, then a year or so later we are pushing for some new hard to achieve target and loving life.

You ever try primo? Not asking for myself or anything, just curious if you liked it since you can handle higher testosterone (so you could take as much as test as you wanted relative to the primo you want to use).

I've had one bottle ever lol. So I don't quite know how it works for me to be honest it was a long time ago and I haven't picked any up because the price went back through the roof again. I can't find it reasonable price right now. The ,primo 100mg/ml my guy carries is $120 a bottle. His 200mg is 200/ bttl. I'm not one of those people to buy a little bit of something and say hey I'll give it a try. I want to have enough on hand to run my cycle the way that I want to so I'm going to need to purchase quite a few bottles. When the price gets back down to where it used to be around $100 a bottle I'll probably pick up 3-4 and that was my original plan earlier this year. Test/primo/HGH. I know a lot of people seem to not like running their testosterone high but I really feel way better when my testosterone is high. I always wanted as high as I can run it without side effects.

On my next cycle I'm also not going to start low and build my doses up I'm just going to go right in at Pete doses and try to get as much accomplished in 8 to 10 weeks as I can because I know something's going to go wrong

So as of right now for the next one I'm just planning it with masteron instead. I did think about going 50/50 between the two

Yeah that's kind of how I feel right now, I actually lost a lot of strength in the last few weeks and it was very noticeable these last two workouts I did. My strength is down my muscular endurance is down and my will to train is down although last night I did get a pretty good session in. I just got to get my brain going in the right direction again. The knee pain has been a big part of it and my girl has even made a comment (last night actually) that my legs are shrinking, which stabbed me right in the balls! What a bitch, I briefly thought about telling her she looked fat in her pajama pants lol. Actually it didn't even cross my mind because it would have been a horrible outcome

Give me a little update if you don't mind, where are you at right now, how are things feeling, Im probably 4-6 weeks behind in your thread. I had been popping in and reading a couple times a week and then when my knee started I stopped posting and reading as much all around the board

How dare she!

But yeah, smart move on not going there. No good will come from that. You'd be in the dog house for at least a week.

tread lightly padawn, this is a master jedi level skill that requires incredible execution for it to work in your favor. took me about 25 years to learn how to tell a girl she's fat and have her think its somehow a compliment.

True, and then on top of that she’s going to bring it up months down the road during some unrelated argument out of nowhere

She still brings up stuff that I did or said when we were teenagers!!!

I'm more likely to get in trouble for something that happened in a dream or not at all. I'm fortunate that my wife tells me she has the memory of a squirrel. Our curse is that I'M THE ONE with the memory and I can drop very sharp zings on a seconds notice. Took me our first few years together to realize I have the option of NOT partaking in a fight. lol Found out one day if I just tell her I'm not fighting with her and go sit on the couch and turn on baseball next I know she's cooking dinner or sitting next to me lol.

I feel like there comes a point, where no matter what you do, gains come to a halt. Increasing the dose helps a tiny little, but I usually dont feel good then, and the help from increasing the dose is nothing like the beginning. And I swear if I stopped and started again in 3-4 months I would gain like in the beginning of the previous cycle.

There just seems to be a switch which all of a sudden just seems to turn off. I am in that situation now. On less than 300mg of test in 4 weeks I gained over 10% on my big lifts. Then I had to travel for work for 10 days and in those 10 DAYS i lost everything i gained in those 4 weeks, i had to walk a lot and i lost 12 lbs. I assume mostly muscle unfortunately.
I ate but if I dont lift muscle disappears from me. I also didnt inject, figured whats the point if i cant workout at all, but i only went 2 weeks without a shot (which i was taking 150 mg per shot at a time, so i really shouldnt have gone hypogonadal in that timeframe).

Now it has taken me over 4 weeks to just get to the point where I was 4 weeks into a cycle. And it seems I cant progress past that. I cant add a rep. Even though the scale has gone up, and the fat didnt pile up.

So what to do? Pile the food, get fat? Or accept its over, up the gh and concentrate on leaning out while preserving as much as possible.


It is EXTREMELY frustrating and you just wanna blast to the moon but then you come to your senses and realize you are going to feel sick.

The worst fear is losing strength again, which you piss blood for multiple days a week, months on end.


PS: taking gear, myostatin, all that stuff out of equation, when progress stalls, i find its most often sleep issue. We are all here so sympathetically driven, we train well, eat well, but when it comes to sleep its hard man. Its hard to stay asleep. There is so much %#^#^^# noise, light, everywhere around! And its the dog's heat on top of everything.

Your not the only one, my girl wakes up mad at me if she dreams I cheated or something stupid lol. Like sometimes she'll give me a serious attitude about a dream that she had

I'm still riding this struggle bus but motivation has been building momentum. I'm going to kick off a new log tomorrow called Smont goes to rehab! (for old knees).

 

[Smont]

Knees have felt way better throughout the course of the day as long as I don't do anything foolish. The night time pain however is still really bad and it wakes me up several times a night.

I stopped the bpc And supplements too. I just got lazy so il pick those back up in my rehab log.

HGH is still on hold as my supplier is now in stock again but his stock is limited and he has a $600 minimum order for HGH
He said as soon as supplies are back to normal the minimum of 200 will go back and play but he doesn't feel like sending out one kit to 50 million people, I kind of get it. I'd rather sell an ounce or more of my green products then run around selling nickels and dimes like it's high School .

 

[Smont]

Also, I'm going to start training more people again, Im down to 2 clients and I've kept it that way because I felt kind of lazy and unmotivated to even do that stuff and I wanted to be able to make sure I'm helping people and not doing a half ass job. But I got to start getting the ball rolling with those again as well and get it back up to 10

Sure thing, I will do a quick rundown. Well as quick as possible for my wordy ass.

Initial major issue that put me into PT was my neck apparently was way out of whack, the curve in my neck / spine had not only straightened out but started turning slightly the other way. This was closing off the nerve outlets in the front of my neck causing a lot of referral pain, muscle tremors and inability to control my scaps and rotator cuff. If I even did a valsalva maneuver to brace it would cause shooting pains from my neck down my trap into the scap area, and also down my right arm, also making it go numb as well hen not hurting. It would wake me up in the middle of the night with stabbing pains only pursed breathing could help alleviate, but deep breath would be excruciating.

In the last 5-6 months we have managed to get my neck curving back in the correct direction, but not quite where it should be yet. The referal pains are gone, and now I am more dealing with the lower back issues from my sacral joint, my right hip is higher than the left and it causes some lower back pain and autoinhibition of the glutes on the right side. Add to that we are at a point in resistance where my torn subscap, and labrum are starting to get more sore and I have to work around that to manage it.

So while I can do so much more then previously where I was pretty much wrecked and moving gingerly at all times to avoid pain from either my neck or hips. I can move explosively in a lot of ways, I can bend down to pick something up normally, pretty much pain free movement in general. However, I still have to be VERY careful with any hinging movement, and pressing tends to be an issue due to the labrum and rotator cuff tears. I am finding ways to work both with, and around the issues, but am still not able to train very hard, and when I can bump intensity it is short lived because I can only manage a little bit of volume for anything intense right now without causing an issue.

That being said, I am WAY BETTER OFF than I was at the beginning of the year, and have been finding ways to make progress regularly, I just have to remain EXTREMELY HUMBLE in my efforts, if I want to be able to keep making progress. Sorry it wasn't that short, but that is the synopsis.
