Defo more context mate. The goal is to fix the root cause.

Not put a plaster on it.

Have you got a deficiency? Have you low iron, vit D? Etc…

I would run bloods and give us a full breakdown of you’re lifestyle

Me either I would leave the npp and just run test and masteron personally if you have just previously ran 1g for the powerlifting meet. You have room to have your drugs a touch higher if bloods are good for 12 weeks. But I would just run test and masteron

Test 50mg daily (350mg/wk)
Masteron you could run up to 100mg daily (700mg/wk) for me.

Clen I would start at a low dose

T3 I would base of bloods around 6-8 weeks out if you stay experiencing any metabolic down regulation

Agreed it would help to see your set up.

and it also depends how sore. A little soreness is fine if today is more quad focused. And you just have mate 2-3 sets seated ham curl and then quad iso and compounds oh will be fine.

Mate I can see how passionate you are about this and that is genuinely a great quality to have. But reading through the thread I think you have fallen into a trap that a lot of people do when they start going deep on peptides and research compounds. You have consumed so much information from so many different sources that instead of getting clarity you have ended up more confused than when you started.

They are called research peptides for a reason. There is no definitive protocol. There is no universally agreed approach. What we have is a sensible thought process, some emerging data, and a lot of individual experimentation. The most valuable information comes from people who have actually used these compounds and tracked how they felt and performed. Jordan, Hilly, me etc….Not from threads where ten different people give ten different opinions.

So fully agree with Jordan and Hilly.

Stop. Reset. Strip it right back.

Me personally, I would run Urolithin A for four weeks on its own. It supports mitochondrial quality through a process called mitophagy, essentially clearing out damaged mitochondria and allowing healthier ones to take over.

For an endurance athlete who also wants to stay lean it is one of the most well evidenced compounds available and it gives your mitochondria a clean baseline to work from before you start adding anything on top.

Once that is done, add one thing. Just one. Run it for four to six weeks, pay attention to how you feel, how you perform, and how your body composition responds. Then assess and decide whether to keep it or move on.

For your goals as an endurance athlete who wants to stay lean, MOTS-C would be my first addition after the Urolithin A reset.

It improves mitochondrial efficiency, fat oxidation, and endurance capacity simultaneously. It is directly relevant to everything you are trying to achieve.

That is it to start with. tracked properly. Everything else can wait until you have actual personal data to work from rather than other people’s opinions.

Another day down. Still frustrating but I’m focusing on the positives daily: I’m improving just accepting that this will be a long year ahead. Very excited but also nervous for the arrival of our little girl. As Pheebs is getting closer and closer now she’s really popping I think she could come anytime

First day back in the gym today in 3 weeks and it felt so good to be back in and just moving some blood about.

Only went to the local 24 hour gym as it’s a small footprint and not busy so ideal for jus moving about easily on the machines

Pheebs kept a close eye on me whilst she also did a little bit if upper, we’re keeping a very close eye because little girl is getting very close to being ready we think

I think this is a very sensible start and everyone is different so you won’t know if that ratio is right until 1 you pull bloods and how you feel. But I think this is a sensible start point

A little sore today but more progress again with my rehab felt a lot more stable today. Still very limited in terms of movement and stability and ROM I’m hoping when I can get approx 90 degrees flexion and a little more strength I can get back to the gym for upper next week

The food sources look fine if they digest well for you.

But yes your over analysing it.

Your carbs are approx 250g daily on TD
Protein about 160-170g ish by the looks
Fays are lower about 35g just guesstimating off your diet set up.

This may be completely fine. But I would prefer 5 meals what’s your current BW and have you got any pics?
