    Hey Rotties,

    Size has held pretty well since coming off and my strength is at about 90% compared to January.
    My recovery is shite though so I’m having to keep that in mind when training as I’m staying sore for 3-4 days after workouts LOL.
    Another thing that has happened naturally is my resting HR has dropped from 72 average down to 60 so really shows how stressed body can be.
    BP remains same around 110/70.

    Weight is still holding at 205 lb, however there is a little bit of estrogenic fat on my abdomen from the clearance period when test hit rock bottom and I was on the higher kcal but I seem to be gaining some of my lost tissue.

    I believe the high food though kept me mentally sustained as I know myself when hormones are low like that I have tended to be an emotional eater in the past PCTs so there wasn’t any this time.

    Pictures from last Friday’s check in attached for you all to laugh LOL

    Mike – Citrulline is one thing I believe you can’t take enough of and its so cheap. Makes a huge difference to arterial health.

    Morning_Iron – I prefer MSM as it can also feed into the methylation cycle. Collagen is probably better than chondroitin at repairing cartiliage.

    Juan – Either but you need to dose higher with Citrulline Maleate due to the Maleate ester. 10g Citrulline Maleate is approx 6g free L-Citrulline.

    Can be a combination of things.

    Insufficient hydration or increased cell volumisation combined with tight erector muscles and weak glutes.

    Try rolling along your plantar fascia line on the edge of a barbell and see if there is any grizzle in there.

    My right ankle used to inflame because on my flat feet but over the past year I’ve worked on strengthening the arches and I no longer get the same retention.

    What’s arch of your feet like?
    Is this an area you roll on and condition?
    What are your shoes like that you wear? Flat/elevated heel?

    Matthew, if you haven’t done so – please read my article on the site about thyroid supplementation in the context of a prep.

    In some cases, T3 supplementation isn’t even required if people understand the underlying root cause.

    T4 needs to be converted in peripheral tissues and the gut to T3 – by supplementing directly with T3 you bypass this need for conversion.

    Combining T4 and T3 in my opinion in the context of a prep isn’t really needed if you are already taking 25mcg T3 – The rest of the T4 just goes into storage and you may actually increase TBG.

    If FT4 was low and TSH was low but FT3 was just in range, then supplementation with T4 may be beneficial as you are then relying on your body’s deiodinase enzymes and selenoproteins to do the conversion.

    Again, read through the article and it should make things more clear.
