I'm not a huge fan of IF simply due to optimizing protein intake - I don't particularly care for meal timing (unless we're talking optimizing everything - right now I'm talking very general), I do believe protein intake should be roughly every 3 or so hours depending on digestion to optimize MPS. In terms of weight loss, if calories are equated it really won't make a difference - so then I say its mostly down to preference. Not that you were wrong to have the shakes in there - just for food volume while dieting you may want to consider switching at a point where hunger levels get out of whack. My advice is then go to a walk in clinic - they may be a pain in the ass but they're more to the point in my experience, don't let a ill informed, or non caring doctor mess with your health. I have seem more skewed thyroid bloodwork than anything. The best adjustment that I've seen is a blend of cytomel/synthroid... everyone is different and some people do respond well to synthroid monotherapy, but to others a blend is preferred. My mention of the beef, is simply to help keep calories consistent. I personally prefer to diet myself on a lower fat approach and keep carbs higher. You could certainly add it back in... I have ZERO issues with fructose, and believe the benefits of having fruit in a diet drastically outweigh any possible negatives. THE ONLY thing I wouldnt be a fan of in regards to adding it in (at this spot) is the fiber content. My preference would be something easily digestible/low volume/sugary... like rice cakes and jam, or my personal favorite Rice Crispy Squares.

Welcome brother

Thanks brother!

Any particular reason for using intermittent fasting? Just a piece of advice - not that it overly affects anything, but have you not thought about switching the shake and introducing actual food instead? Simply for the satiating factor. As I know once calories get low it becomes way easier once shakes are removed. Did you do anything different from when you first posted? As your weight jumped nearly 8lbs since? Are you prescribed synthroid? If so, do you routinely get blood work done to see if your TSH is in a good range? Last thing, I'd just like to point out on your final meal that you are introducing a fatty source of protein alongside the option of two leaner meats... I'd stick to one or the other, personally I'd just opt for the leaner (but I wouldn't have your carbs so low).

Give it some time my friend, sounds like a rough time - but does not sound like an infection.

Here is Part 2 of my overall win incase anyone wants to check it out!

I think more people need to read and understand the concept of insulin sensitivity/resistance and its role in metabolizing nutrients, as well as digestion.

Keep us updated my friend - I'll definitely be following along!

I like it man, nice and simple... and damn impressive numbers!

I've managed a 495 before... and this was when I was at my strongest, I remember throwing up 465 for a fairly easy 3, unracked the 495 and the instant feeling of "oh shit this is heavy" hit me lol

Whoa whoa whoa... is that a typo LOL 515lb bench? Thats crazy my friend. Whats your height/weight?? I'm also curious to know your cycle history/plans? I love seeing people successful in their discipline and knowing more about what they do.

Just curious man, have you used a fair amount of the "newer" gear made with MCT oil? I know the first few weeks of transitioning - I had a fair amount of inflammation/PIP. But over time my body is used to it, no PIP anymore and frankly, would never go back to the old carrier oils.

LOL yet you look over the front load of 1.2g of test, 600mg EQ (which is KNOWN to cause the largest rise in hemocrit) and yet anadrol and dbol were listed? You think the added water retention will affect his blood pressure? You think him being over 300lbs won't effect it? Give me a break. All that I mentioned will affect blood pressure more than a 2-3 week run of methyl tren on training days only. And if he's really that concerned add in K2 (mk7) and carditone, his blood pressure will be in the perfect range within a month - month and a half. Hell if this is a conversation about health - we should be taking a completely different look at everything listed, as all steroids increase RBC count and negatively effect BP. You know how I know? Because I have blood pressure in the similar range and I know what'll affect it more than others. But please proceed to tell how half his choices won't negatively effect his blood pressure. Sure go with anavar, but you know we may want to consider your cholesterol lol There are pros and cons to everything listed. He asked for a boost pre workout, why mess around with things that won't provide near as bang for your buck, and your main concern would have made more sense if it were toxicity.

I’m not a fan of most sarms - in fact I dislike almost all of them. if you’re really looking for a big boost pre workout methyl tren

So went back to the gym first time on Saturday - Just getting a feel for everything again, and to my surprise not much of a strength drop-off. Yet, I know I still have some lingering blood levels. Either way, still happy for what the strength level was. Performance wise, I did start to gas out near the end, but thats expected. Still having a nagging pain in my left shoulder - there's an amazing physiotherapist about two hours away that I'm going to make a visit to at some point. Other than being a minor pain at the beginning of the training session its nothing too bad and not noticeable when I'm warmed up. So I think instead of typing everything out I'm literally going to post photos of my logbook (it'll also force me to continue to be consistent with it). Just so people know I don't write in sets other than my "working sets" and HS refers to Hammer Strength. Any questions shoot away!

I'll answer some of these questions - but my honest advice is to do A LOT more reading if you don't already know some of these answers. 1. Insulin by definition helps transport and store nutrients. So we can more effectively utilize amino acids, glucose, etc... through this mechanism we can achieve anabolism. 2. Yes in every aspect. No one can answer that question as its dependent on so many factors. 3. There are some people that need to take breaks every four weeks, and there are other ways you can utilize it that don't require breaks. Its largely dependent on how insulin resistant you become. 4. Again, way too broad of a question. I actually prefer to utilize it in every window I can (when I do use it). I 100% believe that just like GH insulin tends to be overrated, it doesn't produce the results most people expect, its not a game changer. Its a tool just like testosterone is.

Welcome brother, if you have questions about insulin post away!

Uploaded a new video detailing some of my thoughts and a little of how my week leading up to my show went! Part 2 will have a follow up and all my footage of being on stage!

Welcome brother!

Spoke to them last week... You did send an email at the end of the week. Keep in mind these guys also have lives. I'm sure he'll respond to you soon man

Welcome brother, lots of knowledge here! Make sure to read and understand the rules

So its the next day... man I was exhausted yesterday. VERY happy with the look I was able to bring, pushed food hard and a valuable lesson that I've learnt is that it takes a TON of food to fill me out if I'm depleted correctly. Although, I won't get into what I did too much as I'll detail that in my YouTube videos. So I won 1st Heavyweight and Overall Bodybuilding Champion - again very happy with how everything went. Here are some photos:

Day of the show! ive got a video coming to my YouTube tomorrow probably that’ll go over what I did during the do and stage stuff! but to update, 1st fallout center stage

Thank you my friend! hopefully I’ll have a new video up for everyone tomorrow morning

Welcome brother
