Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Great news brother.
After reading some the posts prior to today’s I was thinking how hard it must be for you to get a solid training partner..haha
Anyway glad you got some kind of relief as far as a clean bill of health.
Giant sets are over for now or just this week?

supposed to be taking it easy for the week but i may jump back at them today. i felt like i cheated myself yesterday even though i got a really good session in. it didnt quite wipe me out like i feel like it should have. supposed to pull back because of my ck levels jumping up so high but i honestly think they are so high because of how i train. the cardiologist said the same thing and to add in more water. which i have done and i piss every 5 minutes, so obviously i am flushing my system out pretty good. did add tren in on monday, so i needed to up it either way

funny thing with training partners for me is they usually last a week or 2 and then drop off. during the complete lockdown i was locked into going on my buddies sched regardless if it messed up my eating or not. now all the facilities said fuck it and opened, so i have all my normal facilities open and i can go at any time i want to. so if he wants to wait to go late in the evening then i just make my son or my wife and son go. funny but my wife curses the hell out of him when she is off and i make her train my way. she trains hard but i take her to another level and dont let her slack at all haha

done for the day. had to get up nice and early with no coffee or dip for my nuclear stress test. so no fasted cardio and i was hangry and tired early in the day. did all that and was able to start my day. cardiologist again says no coronary artery disease, no blockages, and no problems with my heart at all. he actually told my wife while they were prepping me for my second set of images that i was healthy as fuck. his exact words haha. they also told me he is one of the best and most anal cardio docs in the area. so even though i still have nasty chest pain going on, no heart issues. i am getting set up now for a heart monitor to wear just for shits and giggles to see if i have an arythmia(sp) when i sleep. which he says i dont and that since my heart rate is in the upper 40s when i sleep even when it creeps up into the 50s from time to time it could wake me up and feel like it is racing. again he says no issues but we are going to look at it anyway. another awesome doc. he did crank the hell out of the treadmill and it took forever from my heart to hit the peak rate he wanted.
anyway great training day in the books. all straight sets the rest of the week with some added intensity stuff put in. moved some pretty good weights around and got a good pump going. actually no issues at all again today. so all in all a good day with good news across the board.
one thing to note here is they made me eat a bacon and egg biscuit after my first injection of whatever the hell it is they use to see what's going on. so meal 1 was eliminated today with that in it's place.

done for the day. outstanding training session today. went to my normal gym with the mrs and my boy since my training partner is still mia on timing. we absolutely destroyed legs. brutal pump, huffing and puffing with an excellent pace. different machines with many different options from my buddies facility so the pain and soreness is probably going to be horrible. a tad bit of lower back stiffness and irritation but not to bad at all. i have a nuclear stress test first thing in the am so i kept squats and belt squats a little lighter just to make sure my legs werent absolutely hobbled for the test. still left bobbled pretty effectively though.

done for the day. same tune as yesterday training partner not on time so i took my boy and destroyed him instead. even though it was pretty crowded we were still able to knock out the plan. strength was down a bit but i also moved faster on my heavier work than i prob should have. that and the small increase in cardio could be having a little effect. top that off with different machines as well. all in all a pretty good session in and everything felt pretty good. back is a tad bit tight and tender from yesterday.

done for the day. training partner was dragging today and i needed to be in the gym earlier in the day. so i couldnt wait any longer and went with my son to my normal gym. well it was closed for cleaning when we got there, so that crunched my time down even more. then add in the huge crowd that showed up when it opened back up. so needless to say the workout was not what i intended but still a pretty good session. didnt get as many angles or movements but still pretty good. strength is down a tad bit but pump was excellent. anxious to see how sore i get from the different stim from different machines.

done for the day. later in the day session today so giant sets were compressed and limited due to the crowd. also very limited on time. still a pretty good session with all the angles and pain. pump was brutal with some nasty shaky muscles firing like crazy. the tut reps are insane making stuff fire that normally doesnt. all in all a good day.

done for the day. had to shut it down there and left out the ham giant sets due to time and i had a posing appointment in the evening. so i really didnt want my hams to be locking up while trying to pose which they do when i hammer the hell out of them. still got in a pretty good session though and moved good weight again. still a bit leary with the chest pain going on. so i kept an eye on my heart rate between movements and how fast it recovered. i peaked out at 165 after the heavy squat and it came down to 120 and lower within a couple of minutes. so not to bad but still in the back of the mind keeping an eye on it. other than that an excellent session and great pump. great posing session with tweaks that should help with much better presentation. cardio will be bumping up on weds and will be removed from leg day and added to sunday. so in the gym 7 days a week now but only training 5.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

That’s amazing. Be nice to find one for myself. I’m always concerned about the insurance companies knowing too much.

i have had two in my career that i could talk to. the first one, he straight up came out and said to me listen i know what your doing and you are all about. so keep me in the loop and i will take care of you. i wont judge you or get you in trouble with your insurance. i wont even put it into your chart. this doc now is one that is all about hrt and hormone optimization and is actually in my gym owner buddies family. he is the one who told me to get up with him and tell him everything and he would take over all my stuff no questions asked. even knowing that when i went in i asked him straight up, look i dont want my insurance to know about my blasting and i dont want it in my records. he says bro, i am here to take care of you and i work for you. he said as long as you know the risks at your age and dont expect me to get you excessive amounts of aas, then i am on board. he has offered to take care of me with peptides and pretty much all aspects of hormone stuff. i guess the best way to find one is to ask around the guys in your area that are on hrt and stuff and see how their docs are. the best ones to ask are the ones that are surpressed due to aas use and not because they are naturally in a def.

Man, for sure. Fortunate to have that doc. Going to try and find someone like that around here if possible. Heard of a female doc who is 2 hours away but she is known for working with this stuff and might look into that. It would be worth the drive. I have to fly by the seat of my pants on everything. I try to get blood work every couple years but thats it.

i drive 2 and half hours to see this doc. he does telehealth with me and i drive down every quarter to see him in person. so i say it's worth it. since my first doc sold his practices and went back to the hospital after bummer care kicked in. i had done the same thing myself. now that i am in my 40s i need that extra set of eyes and care so i can continue to go as long as i can. the va handling my hrt is and was also a huge pain in the ass. this doc will let my test levels get closer to 1k without taking me off of trt. the only difference is i have to pay for my script out of pocket. again he is about optimizing and not treating the numbers on the paper

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

yeah no kidding. def reassuring coming from him considering he knows what i do and the risks involved. he tells me that is his entire purpose is to keep me as healthy and safe as possible while i do what i do both on hrt and running hard as well. love the dude, he is awesome to have as a doc for sure

done for the day. buddy was late today so time line was super crunched. not that it really matters but the heavy work was moved a little faster than i would have liked so strength on that was down a bit. obviously the tempo on this stuff is back to back with only enough time to move to the next movement for rest. so it is pretty grueling to say the least on top of being super rushed. not bad on strength and the pump was brutal as usual. all in all a really good session with no issues at all. spoke with my primary care doc that handles my trt and keeping me healthy in these blast periods. he was happy with how all my labs looked and says i should be good to go. he pulled my thyroid np(which i had already stopped) and put me in for a stress test and cardiology just to check everything out to be safe. so we shall see how that goes. bloods were actually better now than they were a few months back.
