UPDATE:
Body weight 224, but the gain feels like more fat than muscle, although my lift are improving. I decided to increase my "macros" for the last 4 weeks of my cycle because I was feeling tired.
Diet:
Increased protein to about 275-300g/day and carbs to about 350g, fats to 80g - roughly
Still eating clean, but tossed in whole wheat pasta bowls with ground venison meat sauce into my daily regime to get more energy (carbs and protein). Feels like it is helping. Since I am planning an 8 week SARMs bridge followed by a 12 week cutting cycle, I am comfortable putting on a little more fat over the next three weeks if I feel more energized and can push more weight.
Training has improved.
Started deadlifting again. Back is feeling strong. Weights are light at 315 for reps for now, but I am ok with that.
I previously posted I was having trouble getting my hams and glutes to fire and it turned out that I was too close to the problem. Despite years of experience, I was applying the wrong solution and I needed to ask a trusted trainer for help critiquing my form. He fixed my shit in five minutes and my posterior chain workout was freaking amazing this week. Gassed!
Peptides:
I had a heart breaking moment last week when I got distracted and left 1/2 to 3/4 full bottle of Sermorelin, TB500 and BPC157 out on my counter after I injected...all night!! If you don't know...you must keep them refrigerated. Trashed! $150 worth of peptides down the drain.
I took this as a God moment and decided to take a break from the TB and BPC since I was using them for roughly 6 weeks.
Well...sometimes we do not know how well a compound works until we stop taking it. Like I said...it has been a week and my knees already feel worse...or roughly the same as they did before I started using these compounds. Therefore, it is clear that these work while I am using them. I was hoping I would see regenerative effects and I maybe I do, but it is hard to tell because the clicks and pops in my knees returned.
In the end, you can't beat Father Time...you can only slow him down
More to come....later bros.
