Exciting log, keep it going
your plan looks good.......add yoga to your routine.........
Great detail man. Thanks for updating.
I would love to add Yoga. I know I need to, but there are only so many hours in the week. I know...I just need to make the time.
No doubt. Getting old sucks, but I'll never stop fighting.
Day 40
MK677 - 12.5mg
LGD4033 - 10mg
MK2866 - 25mg
Dosages are being maintained.
GAINS:
Pumps continue to be insane. Love it.
Strength continues to increase. Because of my previously mentioned tendon issues, I am being extra careful and listening to my body. The great thing about listening to my body for decades is I know what it is telling me. If I feel inflammation, I do more reps. If I feel strong, I pack on the weight. Some days are great and others are disappointing, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. Yesterday I smashed squats pushing more weight than I have in over 10 years. But last week, my knees were tight so I took it easy. Listening to your body will help you achieve long term gains.
Size - Dropped to 227-228
Per my last update, I was gaining too much weight and decided to shift my diet so I can stay under 230. This last week was tough, because we lost an immediate family member, so I was playing defense all week. I also could not regulate my diet as usual because we were traveling and attending to family needs. I did my best with the foods I ate and fasted when it made sense.
Diet - I am around 220mg protein, 300mg carbs, 50mg fat daily...roughly
Training - (details listed in my previous post)
UPDATE: This is working the way I thought it would.
Upper body - Pushups, pull-ups, targeted shoulder and bicep training is keeping me tight and strong. It should not result in tremendous muscle gains, which is precisely what I want for my upper body.
Lower Body - I am smashing my legs and my posterior chain and it's working.
The one exercise I traditionally never did are hip thrusts. DAMN! I love these things and my glutes thank me for it. My career demands I sit most of the time and with a herniated L5S1 in my back keeping my glutes firing is super important. Squats and deads have taken care of this for years, but I looped in hip thrusts every week and have seen such an amazing improvement in my glute strength and lower back pain. I look forward to my leg day when I do these!
Calves - Because of my tendon issues, I stopped heavy raises and started a pure isometric routine. Time and tension grows calves, right? It's a PITA because I hate spending 15 minutes 45-60 seconds at a clip, locked into a hold. Patience is a virtue I struggle with, but I know it's best for me. The flareups have ben minimized and I am still staying strong. Hopefully getting stronger.
SIDES:
Blood Pressure - this is holding fast - depending on my water retention, my systolic BP fluctuates to a high of 135, but most of the time it is 130 or lower, which is manageable.
Water retention -this is holding fast- When I really feel it, I started taking an over the counter diuretic. 1-2 pills on those days. So far it's been 2x this week.
Blood Glucose - I stopped checking it this last week. Too much on my mind to screw with this and given everyone's feedback on how my glucose levels will return to normal when I stop MK677, I am less worried about it.
Heartburn - I want to thank everyone personally for ALLLL the heartburn relief advice LOL I used to use apple cider vinegar, but stopped a while back. There are so many benefits to it I should start again. However, I used baking soda and it worked like a charm. I was using tums, but baking soda is nearly free and works a lot longer.
That's it for now bros!

I'm glad baking soda helped. A lot of guys dont use baking soda or apple cider vinegar. I like to use both, AM apple cider vinegar and baking soda towards evening.
Lets keep pushing this log forward
