No appetite either and bloated... need to clean up diet (too much sugars lately) and throw a brief cut (4lbs would be enough).

I'm on GF diet and I don't miss pasta at all, have had enough in my time. Never heard of chicken parm but it looks interesting.

[KittyO1]

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the kind words! We are back now. Just spending today and tomorrow out on the lake playing in the water! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

I misunderstood, thought you were dieting hard and missed meals

[BG]

Not you !! LOL

It's just cause I'm drowsy in the evening, when back home from gym I say "let's rest a lil bit" then awake in the dead of the night.

Not you !! LOL

Too late...lol

[cousinmuscles]

Felt lots of lethargy today and pinpointed it to my recent increase of niacin dose. Makes my stomach upset and lethargic for hours after a dose. Less than an hour before training today demons tormented my insides and I lost considerable weight in the bathroom. I decided to iron it out and just do some flexibility and meditation pre workout...

Todays training
Deadlifts 240x2
Speed squat 105x 3,3,3

Felt pains here and there and felt weaker but went through it. Regretted this as I was weak today, trembly and lethargy persisted into training. Lowering niacin dose to 2g per day, 1g with breakfast and 1g with last meal before bed to minimize interference.

[Charlie67]

Pro tip: take your selfies after you're pumped up from a workout, while sitting in the smallest possible lateral raise machine you can find. Makes you feel huge

Shoulders this morning, followed by cardio.

No fun!
When you get the dose right, what does niacin do for you?

Injectable B12 until the appetite turns around?

You know cape, there's only 2 kinds of people named "Lawrence" ... I don't think he looks like a sailor...

Just wanted to raise my HDL cholesterol.

All companies offering blood work now state they don't offer sensitive E2 for men. Why now ffs I'm using nandrolone I need it more.

It's pricey technology, small private labs can't afford it.

I pin 1000mcg once weekly never did anything in that regard. It just makes me somnolent the day after.

Actually all tests are done in the national university hospital. The companies are just agents for the service. Before it was if result was below 100 pool they retested sensitive. Most likely due to the low price $25 they eventually lost profits and discontinued.

I may be feeling low e sides not niacin issues. I'm dropping aromasin to 12,5 EOD. I'm much leaner than before this will obviously affect aromatization, didn't think of this...

Dang, usually it revs me up and I tend to tear th door off the refrigerator.

[cousinmuscles]

AG, I get 1.2g magnesium from my diet (and around 5g potassium), do you really think supplementing will help? My sodium intake is low think it might affect potassium levels somehow?

[hammerheart]

Dang, usually it revs me up and I tend to tear th door off the refrigerator.

Cyanocobalamin still has to to be converted to active B12 forms, thus doesn't eliminate the rate limiting step by converting enzymes, I'd be curious to try parental methyl-B12 and just oral adenosyl-B12 if I could find them.

The somnolent thing is actually good I'd pin on Saturdays so that to enjoy extra sleep on Sunday.

I had success at 100mcg every day and found my appetite turned around in about 7 days.

You pin B12 ED? Ever tried methylcobalamin tabs?

My appetite and hunger are long gone btw, sure there can be minor variations up to nausea sometimes but I'm pretty used to force feeding.

[Charlie67]

Dear A-hole on the leg press machine,

Get the fck off your phone and finish already! I've been here for an hour, you were on that press when I got here. I've seen you do 3 maybe 4 sets. I realize you were doing supersets with the water fountain, but for the love of God! Some of us need to get shit done!

Thank you!

Well.... That was leg day. Hope all my US based friends are having a great holiday, as for you guys outside the US, have fun at work, lol.

Just helicopter dick in his face until he runs away screaming, then the leg press machine is all yours. I recommend swinging counter-clockwise for added emphasis.

Have not heard of that type of B12. Had a typo though meant 1000mcg ED not 100mcg ED. But once my appetite turned around I just stopped pinning B12 and carried on,.

What about replacing some of your carbs with faster digesting ones?

Something like that happened to me last night, too. So frustrating!

Take the undies off put shorts back on. Walk out put your foot up on the headrest. Look at him smile and ask if he comes here often ? Then tell him he looks like he’s in really good shape. That should get him moving on sooner than later.

Must be from Texas.

Cape, I tried that but it didn't work

I usually drop a couple farts. As I mentioned my diet has 80g+ fiber, I can produce gas at a consistent rate. Easy to clear an area of the gym.
