Yep, thanks for noticing.Yeah man, you’ve definitely put on some size…Good job.
All is well, going good.
wildly true. I had a buddy who was about 10 years older than me ( so probably 45+ at the time) who pounded 4k calories a day minimum (maybe double on cycling days), had no upper body to speak of, weighed about 165lbs and had some of the biggest legs I'd ever seen in my life. probably never more than 10% bf.
Yeah, sometimes your body is just letting you know to take a deload for a week and just go lighter on weights. And getting more sleep should help….maybe take some SNS Reduce XT to help with cortisol.
Yep this
Hyde and SkRaw would definitely give you the best advice for programming to increase bench.
I work a labour job and I’m up at 4:30 am, it’s pretty difficult to get more sleep than that.
I get up at 4:30, 1hr commute to work in the morning and often longer in the evening. By the time my wife and I sit on the couch its often 7:30. we will start a tv show but we are in bed usually by 8:15. lights out between 8:30-8:45 for a solid 8hrs.
Unless they’re paying you to still be up until 11:00pm, sounds like you can pack it in earlier. One of the first tough life lessons you’ll learn transitioning to a full-time gig is how little free time in the day you have. This was a bit of a shock to me - you work hard all day, come home dirty & tired, but still need to shower, cook, eat, shop or handle any business, and prepare for the next day. Then you need to squeeze in whatever gym, family, social priorities you make in life; it’s overwhelming at first.
then you meet a girl, get a house, add a kid, possibly a dog (or two) ducks/chickens, fish, clogged gutters, and blown fuse, leaky roof, deck repair, kids holiday violin concert at 7pm on a tuesday when your christmas shopping isn't done, baseball practice on thursday nights, cub scout sleep over saturday, wrestling tournament
Yeah I wasn’t even going to try to hit him with the next levels; he isn’t ready to worry about all that yet. First serious gf you think your time gets tighter again, but when you own a house it goes up another level, then having kids it’s a complete cash out on your hobbies. Your kid becomes your hobby now lol.then you meet a girl, get a house, add a kid, possibly a dog (or two) ducks/chickens, fish, clogged gutters, and blown fuse, leaky roof, deck repair, kids holiday violin concert at 7pm on a tuesday when your christmas shopping isn't done, baseball practice on thursday nights, cub scout sleep over saturday, wrestling tournament
holy crap no wonder your averaged middle aged dad has created a whole new body
I have 100 hobbies and the gym takes up 99% of my hobby time. it is what it is, but priorities.
I think this is why dads get really big into smoked meats and grilling lol. It passes both as a hobby, and a necessity (feeding the family). two birds with one stone lol
I've used that exact term with my wife a few times, that can be a tough one to overcome at times.... thankfully I haven't quite felt that way in a while but I'll tell you that stretch around feb-mar often feels like it.
I’m an electrician, working on a low rise residential building rn. So in terms of cardio its a lot of walking up and down stairs and in terms of physicality Im always either standing, kneeling, reaching, on a ladder, screwing, pulling wire, etc.
Kk sounds good bro thanks. Is it difficult to clean?
Nah, 5-10 mins every once in a while with rubbing alcohol and a pipe cleaner. Easy peezy
Keep stacking those and gains will follow
I have tried before and didn’t notice much but thanks for the suggestion.
I don’t have any experience with any of it, but generally speaking local transdermal application is always going to be superior for most joints - it’s back pain that may or may not be as useful.
Do those help significantly with joint pain? I got the curcumun elite and I just bought some joints and edibles for the pain too. For me topicals don’t help with joint issues, only muscle issues.
Absolutely; that’s what they are for. I do not take them for muscle soreness, nor do they help with that - they lower inflammation in healthy ways and increase joint lubrication.
Ok, if my flare keeps up I will try them. Thanks for the suggestion!
Generally I recover slower all around when sick. I try to think about days I’m pretty sick or traveling as half a day for recovery’s sake, when thinking about when I expect my body to feel recovered to normal state I train in.
Yeah it’s gonna be a real struggle getting anamorelin in Canada though, I found this one single seller called labtecpro and they sell a mixed mk677 (25mg/ml) and anamorelin (25mg/ml) (iirc) tincture and they ship to Canada so I’m thinking I’ll just take like 0.2-0.5ml a night for a slight gh increase and sleep improvement.Anamorelin may be one you could try, because it does show some promise and doesn’t seem to have any cancer risk. As a matter of fact, they are testing it to help cancer patients to gain weight and slow muscle loss…..

Anamorelin (brand name Adlumiz in Japan) is an oral drug, a ghrelin receptor agonist, developed to treat cancer cachexia, a wasting syndrome causing appetite loss, weight loss, and muscle loss in cancer patients. It works by mimicking the natural hormone ghrelin, stimulating appetite, promoting growth hormone release, and increasing body weight and muscle mass in conditions like lung, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers, offering a new treatment option where few existed.
I probably wouldn’t take with MK 677, because they do warn against anyone taking immunosuppressants to not take MK 677 because of increased cancer risk. Now with that said I have tried MK 677 and not Anamorelin, but in your case I think Anamorelin would be smarter. What would stack good with it, and is safe, is SNS Growth Factor XT, which I have taken, and is great at night. Great deep sleep and vivid dreams. Yeah, Growth Factor XT and Anamorelin would be a great stack at night.

How do you think growth factor xt would compare to something like anamorelin or mk677 for sleep and gh output?Anamorelin may be one you could try, because it does show some promise and doesn’t seem to have any cancer risk.

It won’t be as potent as those….it will help boost you naturally, but as young as you are I don’t know how effective it may be, because at your age you should still be producing plenty of growth hormone. It would be the safest thing for you to try. If the main thing is deeper sleep, I do believe Growth Factor XT would help with that, but probably not the increase in hunger. You could try it before bed with maybe ZMA, and I’m sure that little stack would help with deeper sleep. You could even add in Melatonin, unless you don’t do well with it. It’s just I’m not sure how safe Mk677 would be for you. There’s a chance no problem at all, but with immunosuppressant drugs I’m not sure if it’s worth it.
my favorite part about being sick is pho. get all recovered up on that healthy broth and when you wake up feeling better you're aleady loaded up on sodium and carbs lol
Do you know of any place that sells anamorelin? It’s so difficult to find
I’m not sure, with you being in Canada. I’ll check around tonight and see what I can find.
I have gotten them tested before and they were a bit below the middle of the reference range, definitely not as high as I wanted them to be. Keep in mind most Canadian reference ranges for hormones are a bit lower than American reference ranges.
I’ve taken that, and it’s a good supplement.
