Hi all,
I'm wanting to become a bodybuilder with big muscles - however 2 things stand in my way: access to right gear/knowledge and type 2 diabetes (did it to myself over the years with uncontrolled sugar and food addiction due to depression and uncontrolled ADHD)
Age: 39 - 40
Sex/gender: Male
My conditions: Type 2 diabetes (taking and lower end of obesity, ED and tendonitis in elbow (90% healed but still long term pain), left leg peripheral neuropathy and (testicular atrophy since I started TRT)
Current diabetic medication: Glimepride (2mg) - in the past was on metformin (really bad side effects), semaglutide, ozempic and rybelsus etc - all had negative side effects and did not assist in blood sugar reduction and rybelsus sent me to hospital as it nearly stopped my intestines from functioning (stay away from that shit)
My current diet: Normally I eat 3 days a week (do water extended water fasting for 2 or 3 days at a time to bring down sugar levels) - rest of time I eat meat, butter, eggs, olive oil, pickles and a bit of spices and herbs - veg if I feel like it once a month (usually don't). Only dairy I eat is cheese - might give that up too as dairy is very inflammatory). Eating this carnivore style diet is really helping me keep my muscle and lose fat - but is hampered by my low test.
My approx lifting schedule: Mon (Leg day 1 - lighter squats, stretching, light donkey kicks and leg press), Tues (Chest and biceps - heavy as I can go), Wed (Triceps, calves and forearms with stretches), Thurs (Back and deadlifts), Fri = off, Sat = heavy squats and Leg press, Sun = Off
Went to Endocrinologist for low test (200 points below normal range):
2 months ago:
What I was prescribed: Test Cyp once every 3 weeks (bottle: 100mg/1000 ml) - felt no effects - still no strength improvement or any others
Last month went back to endo:
Currently prescribed: Delatestryl 100mg once every week (bottle: 200mg/1000ml) - feeling minor strength improvement, a tiny bit of improvement with mood and ED - enables me to lift normal to lighter side of weights in gym - but I still get tired and unable to lift heavier quickly
Issues: some insomnia, energy comes in small bursts then goes away, testicular atrophy is there now and dull ache in balls which shrank by 40% in size so far...I asked endo for HCG he said I can be either on Test or HCG but not both at the same time....(I feel this is not true based on when men's clinics prescribe to others with low T)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What i'm wanting to do:
1. For muscle: I want to run Test at 500mg to 1000mg per week with maybe sustanon and better, hcg for atrophy reversal (5000 Iu) and aromasin for estradiol/gyno reversal
2. For diabetes and tendon issues: I want to run injectable SR9009 (unable to locate Canadian source - only injections work - oral does not for SR9009 specifically), I want to run peptides: BCP 157 and TB 500 for tendon and repair in high doses - also injections
Note: I want to avoid oral test, sarms and peptides as it compromises liver functionality (apart from aromasin)
If anyone has advice i'd welcome it - oh and for those asking source on reversing Type 2 diabetes - check out Dr.Jason Fung (kidney specialist) who reversed type 2 diabeties in patients with kidney damage on dialysis with intermittent and extended Fasting (link: dietdoctor.com) - the longest water fast I did was 20 days thus far (only water and a bit of salt) - but am wondering if this proposal is a better way - my diet is spot on now as is my exercise motivation.
