MemberJanuary 4, 2022 at 9:57 pm in reply to: Peak week + Natural diuretic protocols (dandelion root, vit c…)Uva Ursi has worked really well for a lot of my clients.
Depending on how much water the person retains, 500 mg with anywhere between 2 to 5 meals (person dependent) the day before has worked well.
I really like Dr. Scott Stevenson’s peaking protocol. You can view it in his book. Essentially the day before the show is high water intake to promote diuresis, you cut sodium about 3 hours before cutting water(about 12-15 hours before stage time).
A trial run is really the best approach. Picking up his book has been one of the best investments I made!

I canβt see anything either
I can see them on the computer but not on the app. I think whoever designs the app needs to look into that as I have noticed many times if I post a picture on the computer, it does not appear on the app.
To the OP, if it was me I would not freak out personally about those numbers especially if you train hard, are large and trained within 24-48 hours of getting the test. I also like looking at GGT as a marker. If you don’t drink alcohol, eat well, are on liver support etc. you are doing many good things to help your liver. But of course if you want to look more into it it doesn’t hurt.

No. Not like this it wouldn’t

Chia seeds are high in soluble fiber, which can help lower LDL
With all due respect, tons of other foods are high sources of soluble fiber as well…. wondering if there is more to them than that? Thank you Jordan!
-
Hello Jordan! If you do not mind me asking, could you please repeat what the reason is for the chia seeds and the health benefits to a bodybuilder? thanks so much!

Very normal, as Kuba said, nandrolone always sees false readings for me , I was running nandrolone only cycle and my test was like 500nmol/l
Would the same thing happen with primo? Let’s say one was using 100 mg test and 300 mg primo, would your testosterone levels be skewed on the blood panel test?
Asking as I have a trt script and do not want to risk losing it when it comes time to go do bloodwork for the endo lol thanks for any help guys!

MemberDecember 31, 2021 at 9:50 pm in reply to: Blood work – Advice wanted on thick blood and cholesterolWith 400mg, I would expect my test level to be 3 times that if Iβd been on cycle for a while and last jab was 6 days before. What ester were you using?
I would speak to a doctor about the blood thickening. Honestly, I would probably be avoiding cycling at all based on the blood results until health is under control.
What you can do now :
Make sure you are taking in a ton of water each day, avoid supplementing vitamin C , introduce vital support. Make sure your primo isnβt actually EQ. I would also be supplementing Nattokinase here.
Hope this helps
Why avoid supplementing vitamin C?[/quote]
To reduce iron absorption and getting blood even thicker.

I feel just like you! I wish I would have had the right guidance 12 years ago when I started….
I am no Jordan, but some numbers I am proud of are 545 lb deadliftx4, 435 lb squatx4, seated military press 235 lbsx5, RDL 515×6.
All with pretty solid form, pauses and 3-4 second eccentrics π Of course I feel weak as my goals are pretty big but I work at chipping away at it daily π

My pleasure!

That’s great man because that’s something really important to address! Sleep apnea is a killer and if you do have it and get it fixed it will change your life. So I guess the moral of the story is when it comes to lowering hematocrit you want to avoid giving blood unless your specific case requires you to. You want to aim to address other issues first.
-
I’m a huge fan of Dante Trudel and he mentions that if it is under .54 just keep an eye on it and use health supplements, address potential sleep apnea and diet to lower it as much as possible like Inositol Hexaphosphate.
You also want to look at other markers like platelets and hemoglobin if thickness is the concern. Lastly, phlebotomy could bite you back as the body has the potential to sense the drop in RBC and can come back with even more when done too frequently. Hope that helps. -
I would not be concerned with that minor increase if it was myself π
