Backpacking the Appalachian Trail some advise ??

[lovbyts]

I have not done anything like this but have wanted too and still may someday. I dont see a reason to stop TRT.

I'm sure you will have things mapped out and not sure how you are planning on doing your supplies but I remember reading it's a good idea to set up PO box or something similar in several towns along the way where you can pre ship supplies and cash so you dont have to carry so much all at once and you have emergency provisions in place.

I'm sure doing a group they have stuff like this set up but maybe a good idea to do at least a couple yourself just in case.

Man you are spot on ! Younger people not on TRT are clueless when they say things like "JUST STOP TAKING " that really shows how lacking in education they are and why men are on TRT to begin with ! That is why I was going to bump up my TRT dose in hopes of a little extra strength and stamina ! Just wonder if Tren will effect me the same way as it does now when on a protein restricted diet ? I have heard Tren needs protein to work properly ? Soooooo still seeking an answer on the Tren and I will have Enantanate 200 with me which is supposed to be a super Testosterone and I remember when I abused gear in the 80 the only rule was excess is best and even at 22 I saw huge gains just slamming whoppers and pizza and a lot of pasta !

They are called bounce boxes and I am doing a 2 week hike over Thanksgiving and that will really tell me a lot I am going to hike as far as I can in two week 14 days and I will have to average about 8 miles a day which is walking and not hiking ? Which as slow as 10 miles a day and looking at some of the sites and waiting on bounce boxes I hope to go 100 miles in 2 weeks ? The reason the April hike takes longer is there are more people and more hippy type festivals along the way 1 The 2 weeks will tell me what to take for cold weather and there may even be some snow above 4500 ft ! It will really help me with proper clothes and gear to shed and few people have the time to do long short treks like I am going to do and I will just get a bus ticket and come home ? I can keep going further if I so desire and figure out how to pack light and how often to ship bounce boxes ! I am stoked !

you're putting way too much emphasis on lifting, it seems like.

If you want to hike the Appalachian trail, hike the dam thing and don't worry about packing needles or "uncommon sources of protein"

Also, since it seems you're getting bored of lifting, cut down the magnitude. You don't really need to worry about diet unless you're going to become a national competitor. Just overall, make high protein choices and somewhat monitor your calorie intake by feel. All you need to do for great results is hit the gym about 5x a week. 45 minutes each day. Really that's barely more than 3 hours a week.

If you life is really eat, prep, go to they gym, do cardio, lift.... you really need a change, buddy. find some other hobbies

Man I do not think I have seen a post this thoughtless from the perspective of offering advise except from maybe "xanadrea" . So many adult men not competing still eat every 3 hrs and track their macros all the time and the statement you made IMO could be no further from the truth ! I am 56 and have been on a 3 yr journey and seen great results and have no intention of competing and I lifted when I was young so not like I have no idea what is going on ! I hope no one reads that and thinks whoever that guy is has a clue what he is talking about !

lol, that was a sad statement and you know nothing about me ! I do not work , as in I do anything I choose and I do what I want when I want ! I have plenty of hobbies some are good and some are shallow but the main thing is they make ME happy ! I have women to play with . . . . . DUH I back pack for 3 to 4 nights at a time and that is a break ! I take a road trip anytime I choose ! See VA pension and Marine pension and SSDI have no taxes and it all totals more that the average man make working 50 hours a week ! You may make more but I really doubt it $5200.00 a mth. or $1300.00 a week and no taxes so I live in an apartment and do what I want when I want . I get regular blood work and take TRT doses and blast and stay balanced ! That statement was Sooooo lacking in fore thought ! I was going to say I accept your apology . . . . . lol but then I looked at your profile and I LMFAO you are a kid 21 years old ! Seemingly just posting stupid post to get a post count ! So as opposed to telling you you can apologize to me and I will accept it I just laugh , think and remember how arrogant I was at that age and actually thought I knew what I was talking about ! I have a 20 year old and a 21 year old and a 25 year old but they were taught not to speak out of turn and not to spout BS just to be heard ! I would say that old wise tale applies to you perfectly and It goes " It is better to keep your mouth shut and people think you are a fool that to open it and prove you are a fool ! " So Child I pity you and hope you gain more wisdom in the future before you make half cocked post with no experience and no fact to what you state ! Good luck in your journey from 21 to adulthood and I hope you will educate before you medicate ! SADRU ! Oh we are not buddies I am old enough to be your dad I may be your mentor ? But never buddies with a 21 year old ! And if you want to be buddies with a 56 year old man be clear I am no perv and do not have 21 year old buddies . . . . LMAO !

Also, I used to know a guy that did shots of olive oil on the trail. Make sure you test at home. You don't want the runs on the trail.
