oblique fat has dropped a lot!

good job to the other guys as well, feel free to post pics

charger you'll heal up 100% any time soon, your planning shows you are determined as hell, just keep your head clear or else your body produces more cortisol

Damn man that’s already a huge change. Great job.

I just completed a 24 hour fast today. Not on purpose, was suppose to be 16 hours but I woke up with a massive headache this morning. Which is unusually for me, I just didn’t feel like eating and did some house work. Eventually took a nap, which felt better and found something to do for 2 hours until my 24 hours was up. Just figured i might as well finish it and make it a full day.

Which worked for the better because my weight loss had stalled the past few days. I’m down to 204.4 at the moment but was 207 this morning when I woke up at 6am. Measured my blood ketones before I ate and I was deep into ketosis. That’s the highest blood ketone number I’ve registered yet.

Man you scared the shit out of me. I thought that was your blood sugar before I read the post.

Maybe it is!

Lol, I have measured mine as low as 42! Have had zero blood sugar issues since I've been dieting hard. Before, I would generally have low bs at least once a day

3.7? You’d be in a coma. Probably dead

Yea, know what you mean charger, I've worked out naturally plenty of times, just sucks when you trying to reach a goal quickly. Good thing is my main goal is to lose fat, and since I'm not bigger than my natural potential, I may not lose too much muscle. I will still do a few light weight things that I know will not strain my back, like machine preacher curls. Running tends to bother it, so I will be spending most of my gym time on a elliptical.

I'd recommend you at least run Clen during this time (4 weeks on 1 off or something similar). It will help you lose body fat as we all know but it also has some anti-catabolic properties so it will help you hold on to some muscle while dieting and not being on AAS

Gear came today. Freaked out when I saw the box but it was all intact. They messed up 2 items but have already replied and said the right stuff would ship tomorrow. If I was not sick I would have already pinned it

Yea, I'm gonna stay on t3, and was still planning to get on clen at the 6 weeks mark. Didn't think about the clen helping to retain muscle. I've been taking tren e, last pinned yesterday, so I'll wait and start the clen next week

My mistake is that I always tell my wife about stuff like that because I find it hilarious at the same time. For some reason she is not laughing as much.

Sometimes I do the same shit......probably guilt...............I regret it every time.

I’m running on ketones, I’m good lol

[MuscleScience]

Better edit out those tracking numbers, or I’ll find you!

[GearHeaded]

true, low blood sugar has zero effect on your brain. heck you could pin 20iu of insulin right now and eat zero carbs and be perfectly finecause your brain is running on ketones and not sugar. anybody else that did that would go hypo and pass out.

Lol, know what you mean. My body gonna go into shock when I don't pin some tren tomorrow. It's already in shock from the dieting

Tren withdrawal is no joke . you could go into shock and may need medical attention while trying to ween yourself off of it . good luck brother

That’s a thing? By the time I’m nearing the end, I’m honestly ready to stop pinning. I hate it.

I've felt that way after a four month tren cycle, but I'm only two weeks in. I still got the super man feeling...except my back...lol

I can’t wait to be done with this cut and put on some muscle.

[guitarzan]

Told the wife I'm stopping my cycle, she said good, that stuff makes you ill. I said no, steroids don't make me ill, it's your fucking nagging that makes me ill. They just intensify the illness. Lol

[guitarzan]

Know the feeling, but I'll probably be cutting till fall...

So have I, takes so long to get back into shape. I’m not getting out of shape again.

[hammerheart]

In my short exp it is. I've always get bad withdrawal when off. Imo it's best to taper off dosage if prone to.

I did the edit, can you do it as well?

Sorry, they gone lol

Nope, doing this weekly with my TRT is killing me. No way i could daily or EOD. I really want to get on Test UD but my Doc doesn’t write for it.

[charger69]

This week I am working on seeing what exercises I can do without stirring up chaos on my back. What type of routine would you recommend? I am presntly low weight and trying to go time under tension to not use too much weight and make sure that I am moving the weight smoothly.
I would like to try HIT but the reps are a little low and I am afraid of too much weight making it worse. I also cannot move very fast for supersets.
Please everyone give me your ideas.... Come on Diesel, I expect you to give advice too. LOL

With HIT you push yourself so hard you wont have anything left to try and think of not straining your back. How about 20+ reps, slow negative, squeeze at the top. Use machines or cables so that only the muscle you are using has to be active, everything else rested. Not the best mass builders but will probably more than help maintain.

I have a hard time getting to 16 hours on IF. I get hungry at night a lot. Yesterday though I did get a 24 hour fast in and felt pretty good. Thought about going a full 36 but figured it wouldn’t be good for muscle mass preservation. I’ve been playing around with timing to so I can get up in the mornings and it not be to long before my 16 hours is up.

If you were younger you could just sleep 16 hours. That counts.

That’s kinda what I did yesterday. Shoveled snow to keep my mind of eating then took a nap to kill the headache I had. Lol

Glad we didn't get snow. It's just ass cold here. I lived up north and the 3 winter I said fuck it and moved back south. First time I ever messed my back up was shoveling snow

I eat between 12 PM - 9 PM and doing that in itself is fine I just get crazy nausoue that today ended badly with puking. Not sure how I can deal with that.

Snowing here in South Georgia, this is very rare for us.

[guitarzan]

I'm thinking since I'm pretty much only going to be doing cardio for a little while, I will be fasting in the am. This will work well since I'm taking hgh frag and will be doing my cardio in the mornings. I usually don't eat after 7pm, and I usually eat lunch at 11:30, so this will be little over 16hrs

crazy weather this year, we are expecting 43 degrees here for the next 3 days going home tonight to get the bike out and put some miles on it the next couple of days.

Find a class with yoga pants! You will see how bad your cardio is next to the ladies. And the motivation is awesome, when you have to rest the view is awesome.
