I believe I do prefer carb cycling for the psychological benefits mostly, high carbs also help me sleep better on very high output days

Does carb cycling provide any benefits extra for fat loss compared to straight calories every day or just a little more carbs on training days?
From what I’ve understood by watching various videos online of Paul Barnett and Justin Harris, is that you get better performance on the days you take them.

However, that doesn’t make sense to me since…

Totally agree with you here, what I’ve noticed in my cad though is that my ankles get the same water edema whether it’s 2 iu or 4, haven’t tried r1. But yeah the muscle fullness is real and pretty aesthetic under certain circumstances!

I’m currently six weeks out of the bodybuilding show, and I’m weighing 97 to 98 kgs, where my weight cap is 94 kgs. I was thinking of pulling out the 4 IUs of GH I’m taking one month out, assess my visuals in two weeks, and then consider leaving it out or putting it back in in case I get nice muscle fullness without any water. What do you… Read more

I know I repeated myself, the one and only reason I made this specific one post was because I drew the attention to bloodwork unlike the other one where it was just mentioned in a comment. Sorry that I became annoying, this was the last of me I promise lol

Atm I am on 200 test, 350 mast, 200 tren, 40 winstrol Ed and 4ius of Gh.

My bloodwork shows as:

TSH 0.91 mIU/ML (ref range 0.35-4.94)

FT3 2.18 pg/ml (ref range 1.58-4.4) (was 3.9 some months ago)

FT4 0.90 ngr/dl (ref range 0.72-2.00)

Rt3 still waiting for it, but does it really matter?
I am thinking of doing this as for the past 2 weeks I have…

I haven’t been dieting for long, it’s only been 6 or 7 weeks, I believe. Right now, I’m weighing 99 to 98 kilograms with all the fatigue. When I deloaded 10 days ago, I weighed at 96.5. As for my calories, my training days are 2850 and my rest days are 2600. I haven’t had any cheat meals or refeeds whatsoever.

My fasted blood sugar is at… Read more

By the bloods I mentioned

TSH 0.91 mIU/ML (ref range 0.35-4.94)

FT3 2.18 pg/ml (ref range 1.58-4.4) (was 3.9 some months ago)

FT4 0.90 ngr/dl (ref range 0.72-2.00), coach doesnt think I need intervention ,whereas my opninio is that in range doesnt mean optimal. it’s like having a test of 400.

UPDATE:

I just got bloodwork, for reference I am the guy that also made a post about being in disagreement with my coach and the fact that I feel trashed cause of my output ( https://www.trainedbyjp.com/forums/topic/7-weeks-out-fatigue-weight-stall-cause-of-diet-but-mostly-training/) …. Anyway, my values came back as:

I don’t like this set up either.

Sitting at Trt test makes no sense to me unless your some one that responds with super high E2 from anything more

Winstrol alongside this imo is going to hit joints hard.

This will all equate to how your feeling imo[/quote]

Yes I am one of those high aromatisers…. 67 e2 today on ultra sensitive.

Thanks for the very detailed answers you provided. Actually posing room pics are 10 days old where I had a Deload and was weighing 96.7kg with a weight cap of 94kg for my show, the room ones are from yesterday at 99.3kg with all the retention from the fatigue. I am also on hgh which if my weight was steadily at 96-97kg I was considering of…

Hey guys, I’m seven weeks out of a bodybuilding show. I’m currently at about 6 to 7% body fat. However, things have been getting very fatiguing. For example, my digestion has gone bad, my sleep has gotten worse, and generally I feel in a fight or flight situation.

I’ve discussed this with my coach, who has me training at reps in…

Does that weight subside later on?

Once you remove it yes / lower doses if weight cap isn’t an issue and you are already ultra peeled if not get lean[/quote]

I do have a weight cap which is why this is stressful…

Does that weight subside later on?

Look is noticably better, someone even asked whether I’ve had a refeed or not. However, I am 7 weeks out of a show and need to weigh at 94kg. GH does make me hold 3~kg of water so it’s a huge tool to use, the only things as I mentioned that changed my weight were the de-output and the addition of tren and winstrol…

So first of all I don’t know whether this is the right section to post this but it seemed the closest. On the 4th of April I was weighing 99.5kg and then went on a deload. The de-output caused me to lose some extra weight, allowing me to see a 3kg drop on the 15th, having only trained balls to the wall for 3 days after the deload.Thing is, I… Read more

So I am 7 weeks out of a BB show and would like to know if taking exogenous T3 at 25mcg would be an issue for muscle catabolism. Atm I am on 200 test, 350 mast, 200 tren, 40 winstrol Ed and 4ius of Gh.

My bloodwork shows the typical low end of t4 with mid to high end t3 because of the gh. I am thinking of doing this as for the past 2 weeks I…

Perfect then, I use it for the same reason and thankfully it doesn’t drop my BP, because even on 1g+ of gear it is at 110/60, 5 points more systolic than cruise lol

Sorry for the repeat but could I have an answer?

I would like to know more about that too, everybody goes on and on about different esters making the substance act like a different drug altogether but in my head all an ester does is affect the time of accumulation and withdrawal.

What do you use telmisartan for other than BP, aldosterone inhibition for water retention?

Ok it seems there was all the reason to get blamed. I see I was wrong and won’t do it again, will respect the time and energy he takes to coach me too. Apparently there is a huge difference getting shredded and getting stage ready, which I will have to also respect. Thank you guys, I needed this “tough talk”

He did explain that flexible dieting is okay when it comes to just getting a very lean physique, however right now that I am in prep for a bodybuilding show everything should be very consistent like having the same predetermined meals as the variables will stay consistent like that.

I might get laughed at but I won’t mind if it comes with some constructive criticism. I am a powerlifter but am prepping for a BB show in 10 weeks. Atm I am around 9%bf and I have been 7% in the past using flexible dieting.

Today I uploaded a story where I ate 2 burgers 1 with lean beef and the other one with chicken brest fillet. Both…

Thank you for the answer, it was pretty detailed. Ironically 350 test for me is quite high without an e2 reducing compound (I am one of those yes…). Last time I tried it around 300-350mg I was 8-10kg less muscles and 2-3% higher body fat though. That is the reason why I suggested 100npp instead of adding more test, as I have 0 sides and…

Bloodwork just came back, everything is perfect, hdl is back in the 60s. Creatinine, sgot, sgpt however are high, respectively 2.0, 50,54.

This is a mid cycle I know I can tolerate perfectly without any sides nor need for e2 control

Good evening everyone, I am sitting around 10% body fat and would like to compete in a show in 12 weeks as the title says. Problem is, just competed in powerlifting 3 weeks ago, where I lead up to it with a 7 month cycle of 1g of gear, also used some orals for the last 2 weeks leading to the meet. Before implementing the orals, my bloodwork,…

https://www.instagram.com/leventiskiriakos?igsh=YWNnM2hrNnE4b280 is my insta, could you dm me a legit source as I tried someone and got scammed?

Even though my t4 was in the low low end?

I did my bloodwork and Ft3 is on high end while Ft4 is on the low end. Why would I need to add T4 which would convert to more Ft3 putting me in hyperthyroidism? Isn’t T3 the active form in the end and all that matters?

That was a pretty detailed answer and I thank you for that! One final thing to ask, lets say I know I am having a fullbody session because it had to be crammed in a fullbody day because of schedule, do I carb load 1 or 2 days prior to it, or the same day? Hunger is no issue nor any of the other signs you mentioned, I am talking about pure…

I didn’t really understand what you are trying to say. Atm I am around 10-12% max body fat with visible veins everywhere and would need the performance benefit along with their positive hormonal effects keeping TDEE higher.

As the title suggests, I have the question about the timing, meaning should it be done on rest days or the day prior a heavy lifting session? What would he the benefits of each options and why are refeeds/high carb days usually implemented?

I am a powerlifter at heart and won a local meet 2 weeks ago at a pretty lean body fat, and am planning…

This was my bloodwork on 4iu for 5 months straight. Ft3 is high, wont adding more T4 cause T3 to go above range causing hyperthyroidism?

I am preparing for a powerlifting meet right on the 22nd of February and I would love every inch of advantage I could get. As for blood pressure, whether I am on 150mg test or 1500 mg of total gear, it remains at 110/60

I don’t think I undertand, what you are saying contradicts each other unless you train 7/7?

I have been using anadrol at 100mg preworkout on 3/7 days with GREAT success and would like to know whether I would have better performance increases if I took it daily in order to continuously have it in my bloodstream as opposed to the acute effects. I will only be running it for 4 weeks total so the lipid won’t be crazy skewed no matter what.

I am currently on growth hormone and plan to compete in powerlifting in 25 days, I want to know how long it takes for GH to leave my body as I need the extra weight gone and the numbness along with it.

Thing is my previous brand didn’t do the numbness, did get the edema though. Why is that? If we compare them being legit or not, the second one is a much more reputable brand.

Have a look at trying to get 100mg per kg of potassium in per day[/quote] That’s really a lot isn’t it? This would be equal to 25 bananas lol

Blood pressure is 115/65, so I don’t think that’s it. As for my weight I am at 10% bf 106kg

My Salt is on the minimum, I eat 1-2 bananas everyday for potassium along with traces from other stuff and I take 375 mg of magnesium bisglycinate before sleep. How should I go about it?

I had started taking HGH at 4iu during my cut that started in July and ended in November when I started my bulk. For financial reasons, I had to drop to 3 iu but even though I dropped the dosage. I always had ankle edema which bothered me but I put up with it. Lately though tingling and numbness started occuring for the past 2 months, waking…

Do we start calling it a health phase of X amount of time after our last injection or does that amount of time start after 5 half lives of the longest ester drug in the mix pass?

I have come across many people using Vit C but it never occured to me to ask why. Something about it being an anti-oxidant and stuff but in real world words, where does it help?
