Stronger Everyday Log

[GrapplingCentaur]

red yeast rice - I'd skip it. Read up on it, I learned recently that most of the RYR in the US doesn't actually do anything as it's missing the main ingredient (from what I've read, I could be wrong).

I would 100% skip the Red Yeast Rice. I did a 3 month experiment with it and found that it didn't move my LDL, so chucked the rest of them.

It doesn't directly do anything to fat, its a GHRH, its fat burning effects are from the GH.

Do you think redundant? Any potential synergy with GH? Or wasting my time and $?

Not competing ever btw, just want to look and feel great and work on this never ending project.

I don't think the list is unreasonable (I have a pretty long list I take too, but I am actually starting to reduce stuff that I feel isn't adding enough value). There are a few items on here I'm not super familiar with so I don't know about those, but here are some of my thoughts on a few of the ones on your list:

milk thistle - I'd skip it and just go TUDCA + NAC for liver support
red yeast rice - I'd skip it. Read up on it, I learned recently that most of the RYR in the US doesn't actually do anything as it's missing the main ingredient (from what I've read, I could be wrong).
selenium - I just eat 2 brazil nuts most days which has close to 180mcg selenium Way cheaper and tastier than a capsule

I like these recs and will adopt.

Was hesitant to start a log since I’m a newer member, newer to PEDs, and a less experienced lifter. But glad I did.

Completely redundant yes.

Maybe do 2 or 3iu IM an hour before your cardio and tesa at night.

Fatty acid mobilization for cardio and increased GH levels all day/night from tesa.

Here is my updated nutrition info


Still wanting to cut BF% down to 10 from 18 so will be in a deficit still. Shooting for 500 calorie deficit. Figured I am between moderate to heavy.

Recommended Marco options:

The fats are too high on all of these I know.

My custom breakdown:
230 grams of protein (1.3x) = 920 calories
230 grams of carbs = 920 calories
50 grams of fat = 450 calories
2300 calories total

The GH 2-3 IM pre-workout? Or the tesa?

I've been taking IM bolus at night 6iu. Worried about having GH during the day when eating meals for insulin issues.

But of course love to discuss differing methods.

Going to skip RYR.

Considering we dont measure tesa in IU, yes the GH. Pre Cardio not pre workout.

This would release more fatty acids for your cardio sessions.

If you're doing the GH in the morning in a fasted state and then doing cardio you won't have issues with insulin and meals.

Ah touche since Tesa mg.

Thoughts on 2iu pre-cardio fasted IM and then nightly pwo, post meal, pre-bed 6iu IM?

The fats are too high on all of these I know.

Why leave the fats that high then?

 

[Catteni]

Why leave the fats that high then?

Went down 50% plus on the recs above.

Numbers are a work in progress.

 

[Catteni]

Why leave the fats that high then?

Are you referring to the 50g still being too high?

 

[Catteni]

I like eating cottage cheese, nuts, cheese, bacon, fish, half and half etc. Used to be into keto, healthier fats, and carb cycling. So historically have been lower carb and not anti/low fat.

 

[Catteni]

Will start posting my meals and workouts this week.

Anyone use Cardarine or Citrus Bergamot for lipids?

Citrus Bergamot I use yes.

No. I didn’t see that. The chart grabbed my eye. 50g is more like it! Nice.

Yeah when you redirected me from what the chart said in my first thread I lowered.
