The good news is that you grow into your pump.

Keep training hard while eating your macros and you'll look like that one day.

[Bodacious]

Damn guys haven't been on all day because I have been running through my ass. Some DAMN good reading and motivation has been posted for sure!!! So thankful I said to my self I am going to see whats everyone been up to today.

[NACH3]

Don't worry people!
I'm in the ER now and they just disconnected the EKG.
Seems my heart were able to return to sinus rhythm (normal) by itself.
Now I'm just waiting for the blood tests. If they are fine they might release me early.

Hope all gets to where it needs to be, DocT! I suffer from bad anxiety and elevated cortisol levels... I stress about everything and it's shown in my experiences(and in evidence) to have such a negative impact for building muscle tissue... Thoughts prayers & positivity your way Brotha!

That's exactly what I always tell myself, lol - get big enough and you'll look like that all of the time - only thing is you'll keep wanting to be that pumped version which will always be bigger(regardless once you grow into it) but a great way to keep working to achieve what your after!

Damn Nach you sound like me... stressing about everything... I stress and worry my ass off about stuff.

[Cuz]

Its hard not to stress these days and worry about shit...be glad when i get to the age that it really doesnt matter anymore...off to bed soon fellas

[almostgone]

Hopefully the wife was happy with it.

I think she was, although after I grabbed a nap and a WPI shake, there was an encore?

[almostgone]

Damn, I slept through some hellacious lifts, today! I have some catching up to do. The wife has an appointment with the Dr. and then her endo in the middle of the day Thursday, but I can deal with the loss of sleep. Her thyroid ultrasounds keep coming back weird, but an FNA didn't show anything abnormal. They think it is just a cyst type thing and are monitoring it for now. They just have to get her levothyroxine dialed in. Generics weren't doing her right, so the Dr. swirmtched her to the brand name and it seemed to help somewhat. I guess when you get down in the mcg range there may be a small difference between generic and name brand?
Will do what I can to post up a back session so I can get in on the fun.
Gotta run, walked into a breakdown at work, but some seriously badass lifts everyone!

I think we always stress over something, Cuz. Just try to minimize it when we can.

[clarky.]

[AR's King Silabolin]

Guys don't responds to SIl no matter how much he tries, guys a fucking idiot

Ok, as u wish. HIT, lol...no, i will not bother u guys anymore. U are so serious. Nerds. But ok, i just go making friends with some new female members and invite them to MY Castle and there we will discuss all aspects on how the body works, not just hit. And NO!!...none of you guys are invited! EOD

[marcus300]

Morning guys and I hope its a good day for you all, will have a catch up on the thread now

[marcus300]

Very true, its a killer and ive found the older I get the more stressed I become over the same issues what use to irritate me, now they are full blown stress out moments, really odd

[marcus300]

Just what I personally needed to hear! Thank you, Marcus! Though I fell off I'm more convinced than ever that coming back this go will result in what I and everyone of us want...

I often struggle with many similar things... Mainly me being my own worst enemy and this actually effects me to the point where I OVER stress on myself for not doing the very best I can(lately) - sure we all have our moments but it's time to Buck up and fuckin start tearing shit apart!

I'm back and plan on adding much more thickness as well as vascularity - once I'm back to where I left off its time to start a strict pre cycle prime and the rest will be history!

Sorry I've been out for a bit but I think it was something very necessary for myself to do... Just felt run down and I now feel so much better...

Thanks Marcus - and let's fuckin do this HITers!

Hit me up anytime mate you know were I am

[marcus300]

Have you noticed all the HIT'ers are having a colour change and may be some staff upgrades to the top table

[numbere]

I guess when you get down in the mcg range there may be a small difference between generic and name brand?

What's her t4 protocol?

IM , Numbere, Prox, nice sessions fellas.

I need to hit the iron hard over the next few winter months in the hopes of catching up to you big guys.

The fillers in the pill will play a role in molecule release thus affecting absorption a little, switching brands often requires dose adjusting.

[Mr.BB]

Morning,

Im late, but at least slept really well... finnaly!

[Mr.BB]

This^^^. Different brands, different absorving rate.

Cant switch brands on thyroid meds.

[numbere]

Im late...

Any morning sickness?

Maybe you should take a home pregnancy test.

My jokes might not be very good, but yours arent any better

Well, we'll keep trying I guess

[InternalFire]

how to maintain this pumped veiny look/feel 24/7 people?

Don't we wish we could all sustain that

Dam yea ... one thing came in to my mind, call it placebo or what not, I remember back in a day trying some bio-gro from isatori, throughout the entire bottle which was ~3 weeks worth, yea I took higher dose every day with shitload of food, felt like I was keeping harder almost like pumped muscle every day... some good placebo bottle it was, wouldn't waste money on that again of course but at least one thing I remember about it, only if it wasnt a placebo

[InternalFire]

IM , Numbere, Prox, nice sessions fellas.

Morning fellow! Thanks, Im tense in my arms already, gonna have another go today, chest and tris... had plenty rest before these days to justify another day.

Morning guys and I hope its a good day for you all, will have a catch up on the thread now

Morning Marcus

The good news is that you grow into your pump.

Ima gonna strive toward that now, its a long shot, but the only way to get there is consistency, thanks man

I agree. She started on generic and couldn't get into a therapeutic range, but on name.brand she started responding. She has more labs coming up very soon.

[almostgone]

What's her t4 protocol?

150mcg is her dosage. She started responding after the switch to name brand. Hopefully her endo is good. His English isn't the best but he did his residency @ Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital, Baltimore MD.

[Cuz]

I see that, Kel more than deserved it as much as he's done for the forum

[marcus300]

Yes I know and alot more do which will be happening

[marcus300]

Arms feel nice and tight and pumped, sore when tensed and looking ok. Need to drop some bf which will be coming soon.

[Proximal]

Morning everyone!

Sorry to hear about everyone's issues: stress, AG (your eye and your wife's thyroid) & BB, how is your wrist coming around?

Hopefully this is the time to turn it around for all of us!

Alright, thanks to Marcus - I'm going to push myself away from my comfort zone in the evening tonight & hopefully many more evenings (being with the wife + t.v. + wine).

You guys are amazing motivators!

[Kyle1337]

Sup guys. Is ALT at 57 on scale of (11-58) anything to worry about on test/var cycle? AST is 31 (17-59) and ALP is 80 (38-126). Everything else is good. Just the usually... High hematocrit lol. Estrogen a bit high at 52...gonna up my ai a bit. But, anyway... Just wondering about the ALT? Thanks

Nothing suggesting liver damage, it's a mild elevation often seen in ppl who lift. I'd worry more about the hematocrit.

[Kyle1337]

My hematocrit is always high. I regularly donate too. On cycle, off... Is this a thing that is abnormal, but "ok"?

I'm at 52.2 on 50.2 scale.

[Mr.BB]

Morning everyone!

Sorry to hear about everyone's issues: stress, AG (your eye and your wife's thyroid) & BB, how is your wrist coming around

Dont feel anything, cured (for now)

Incredible how it worked so good.

Although surgeon told me it might return, if it does need surgery :/

Thanks for asking

[almostgone]

I agree with, Biz. My liver enzymes are often elevated from heavy lifting. They come right back down after a week or so off from lifting. Keep your hematocrit at a reasonable level and tweak your AI.
Also, I've been reading there are some discrepancies between the ECLIA vs. LC/MSMS E2 tests, so that may be something to consider when looking at your E2 values?

[almostgone]

I'm at 52.2 on 50.2 scale.

If.you normally run high, I wouldn't have a panic attack over 52.2%, but if you are eligible to donate, I would consider doing a whole blood donation.

[Kyle1337]

I will do a double more often. That's probably what I need. I always do a single because of time and other shit, but it's what's probably needed. Thanks ag

[almostgone]

Got off of work an hour earlier than I planned! Came home to a fresh off the grill bone-in ribeye, grilled asparagus, and a small red potato. On top of that, I got some things in the mail today.
