Nothing is needed. And for the majority not something we need to worry about. There are some benefits to adjusting resistance profiles with some movements based on where you have them in the session as Meg states.

But don’t confuse yourself with them.

Where is your leg extension in the session? And how many sets. With a leg extension on a prime I would normally go mid, the mid to lengthened.

Going short even early on would cause be aggro in the knees. And I like it to drop off just a touch as it gets shorter so I can really focus on the contraction

Upper and rehab later on today.

SA machine pull-down x 2
Low incline smith x 2
Flat press x 2
Upper back row x 2
SA row x 2
Pec dec x 2

Then my light day rehab…..

I think things are moving on the flexion side of things a little more, it’s slow and painful but it’s progressing.

Still feel a little pain and instability in the medial side of my knee. But seeing Toby Friday to go through some new exercises to correct this and build some strength to support that. It’s due to my lateral tenodesis procedure I think. Which is frustrating because I feel I can push a little more without this. And could be off crutches within a week or so if this wasn’t holding me up.

Made some progression today with rehab for a full recumbent bike rotation. But some soreness afterwards as expected on the inside of the knee. So iced twice this evening and bumped peptides up. Still got to be careful but I am still seeking progression.

Hey guys. Been a hectic few days with pheebs being off we spent 7 hours in the doctors yesterday. Thankfully she’s feeling loads better today. I’ve not been to the gym since last Friday as she didn’t want me to leave her. That’s how bad she felt.

Not ideal me still being on 1 leg and rehab is very frustrating. I just want to be back moving as I want. And I can’t and I’m really trying daily and flexion is difficult to get past 90 due to the swelling and tightness around my quad and knee scar tissue.

Fucking frustrating. Gotta remember I’m still not 6 weeks post op. Once I get this swelling down and scar tissue starts breaking up I should be good.

Keep telling myself patience. You really do take the simple things like having 2 functioning legs for granted 😂

Literally thinking the same as hilly here

Your total T is solid just your free test is bound up with the elevated SHBG

It’s worth investigating a little more why.

Your HPTA is functioning fine LH & FSH are ageing so it’s a big step shutting yourself down to only replace why your actually producing naturally.

So I would look at trying to lower your SHBG like hilly said borin at 10mg would have been my go to straight away.

And also check your thyroid as compromised thyroid can affect SHBG and also what is current diet set up as low carb diets can significantly elevate SHBG

I started at 0.5mg twice weekly and don’t see the need to go over 1.5mg/wk either.

With GHKC-U is it stand alone or a blend?

Evening guys, a testing day again for us as a couple. Pheebs is still off her feet. And I’m still on 1 leg so it’s been difficult and pheebs is ready to pop.

Still cracking on with rehab which is slow, as expected but we’re getting it done in the daily and seeing small progressions

I’ve got certain clients who have this issue with 4iu

Increase potassium and redistribute sodium. 1.5 to 1 potassium to sodium in your daily intake. Which includes all food, supps, salt, electrolytes

Split the dose also and assess.

I have seen slight elevation of FBG with all GH being taken at night. But minimal and if body comp is good, and all ancillaries/supps are in place to prevent and issues I don’t worry too much. As as on as it’s pulled or lowered it drops again,

So a hectic day yesterday as we went to the Arnold’s against my thoughts. But iheebs wanged to watch bikini. But she had a funny turn whilst we were there she went hypo and couldn’t come out of it. She’s been doing way too much for me this close to giving birth. So we came home straight away and she has been resting up since. She still keeps going dizzy and blood pressure is lower than usual. Baby is good she just needs to chill out and rest up,

Which has been a challenge on one leg 😂
