    Honestly, for now it doesn't change. Pro/carb from waking up until pre-bed. The difference is no PWO, so I will be lighter by about 400cals or so.

    I think most in here abide by similar protocols and adjust cals depending on overall goals of bulk v cut. But with carb cycling and the inclusion of a bit of cardio can begin the cut for many without restricting too many cals.

    bloods done again,
    still need more blood out to reduce my rbc,
    I seem to have low platelet count which they want to monitor for the next 3 months along side my rbc,
    she wants to monitor my iron levels over the next 3 months,
    wants to put me on a 16 week protocol for blood donation,

    had to take coat and shirt off, full exam lol which was fun

    looks like I am staying off gear for another 3 months at least, if my bloods come back today as high she will call me in straight away but if not going to be 3 months with a bloods in between.

    time to prime I think

    I want to get my bloods in range without the aid of anything that's why i came off everything to see what my true readings are. I'm sure aspirin would help because ive been put on it before but it hasn't been mentioned yet and would prefer to get it sorted via donation

    Marcus,

    My platelets and monocytes get highly elevated(especially since starting the heavy HITing - moreso) they've been like this since I lost my spleen(splenectomy)... I take a daily enteric aspirin(1-2x daily the latter when I'm about to self bleed) which im going to try and get another hlf pint out today!

    Has any of your bloods came back w/your monocytes high as well?? Im just going off my experience but I know you have a spleen... My thought is that it's from the High Intensity HEAVY arse training?!?! How was you liver enzymes from heavy training(elevated at all)?

    Just trying to get caught up on the thread.

    Had a good back workout today. Book is in the gym bag so I will not be posting the workout. It was a pretty good one. I wouldn't say by any means it was epic. It was good though.

    Good work for the day. Tomorrow will be rest day for me. Cardio in the morning and will hit abs. Then get ready for chest.

    Thx Bigdil! All the racks and bars were taken - plus on this smith - I get the exact 45* angle and pull to my waistline... Feels great... And I can concentrate on he squeeze more and once I'm in/at my 45* angle it's all low back and lats - I've gotten used to using the smith in various ways due to my injuries and it works

    Nach, Marcus or whoever else .... lol...

    So you'll do not use any BB movement on chest? Just wondering this because I have used DB last 3 weeks myself and was going to switch it to BB this week.

    I have to use BB on decline ....I mean I guess I could do DB on decline if I have a spotter that day to give me the weight.

    JW thanks guys.

    Elevated platelets can be caused by stress. In this case it would be called secondary thrombocytosis. Same goes for monocytes. Stress, anxiety, etc. can elevate them. There are other reasons but in this case that's what I'd probably point a finger at assuming they're not ridiculously high.

    Thx for that break down, Kel I have bad anxiety aswell - im wondering now if that coupled w/my splenectomy is causing them to be elevated even moreso! Thx!!

    Snapped this after my 3rd meal today. I feel good and I'm starting to fill out again after being sick for damned near 10 days. No test or anything for the last 10 days either. Starting back up today.....

    Cardio will commence twice a week. Won't be going hard with that until contest prep

    So what causes low platelets? I've had another blood test because they said mine could be of concern.
