Holy krikey, FF - how long are you @ the gym? 2hrs @ a time?

I don't know how the military works for that, but my TRT doc has me on a 6month bloodwork cycle, so I ahve more room to play with. If they're going to be doing every 3 months, that's going to be...

Am I crazy or does this routine call for shoulders 3x/week and legs (and the rest of the body) 2x/week? That just seems nuts.

LOL the sex drive of a 14yr old?! Either you were really precocious or.... maybe you meant 17yr old? ;-)

I'm on TRT and libido has gone up, but I'm not at the "it moves so I want to bend it over"...

No kidding - good for you, man!

BM - I've seen similar splits before, but I don't get why you put shoulders/arms so early in the week. Doesn't that tire 'em out for the rest of the week, making them too weak to help w/ the other...

Thanks md45 - you closed the loop on the open question I had (at least in my mind) - was the original diet supposed to be a ketosis diet? Based on your response, it appears to be a 'yes' :)

That's interesting. You'd still have to use a normal needle though, right? Test is too thick/viscous to use a slin stick, right?

Thanks guys.

maybe he has a tapeworm?

Great posts Florida - but the protein hurts the kidney thing was debunked years ago, wasn't it? The study that "proved" that theory was based on people with existing kidney problems, and as I...

Aye sharing the exercises would be awesome, as I have a history of bad shoulders, and don't want to screw 'em up more. There is that laying on your side inner rotation exercise, but what else is out...

Gotcha. So I want to keep under 30g net carbs. Do I count carbs in green veggies as part of that? Spinach, lettuce, etc?

md45: 1/2 a cup (4oz) raspberries = 7.1 carbs, of which 4.2 are fibre. 1oz is 1/4 of that, so figure 2 carbs (rounding up). The yogurt is 16 carbs with 0 fibre.

The ketosis diet is based on...

I started the new diet yesterday:

Pre-workout: 1oz raspberries about 30min before gym
Post-workout: shake
Meal 1: nonfat yogurt
Meal 2: 4oz ground turkey meatballs (turkey plus spices and red...

Geez man. Glad you are both OK.

WHen you guys "stock up" - how many bottles do you buy @ a time? And how do you store 'em so they don't go bad/denature/lose potency?

Actually, that's a good question for gear also.

My experience is far inferior to others around here, but with my limited experience, quads are tricky to do. If you hit the wrong spot, you get all sorts of pain, but if you hit the right (sweet)...

What's the leather strap? a man-purse?

Also, is that everything for the week, or are you supplementing it with stuff you already had?

@Bushman: I know the shakes suck, but with my job, it's WAY easier to hide drinking a shake and a few nuts while meeting with clients than it is eating real food. I tend to toss the cookies if I eat...

My schedule looks like this:

0400 Wake up
0430 Get to gym, start workout
0545 Finish @ gym
0600 (give or take) Meal 1a: Protein shake (2 scoops whey isolate protein powder + water)
0800 Meal...

I was reading this thread: Simple and Effective Fat Loss

The author talked about eating every 3 hours while awake. Does that assume a certain # of hours asleep? I ask because I'm usually up...

It now shows available - guess it took them a while to update the site. Time to lock and load!

My eyes fell out of my head when he said he was paying $50 a month for TRT.. I'm paying close to $300 :(

AndroGel is crap though. One of my docs (when I was looking into TRT) said he'd write a...

Food generally tastes different depending on the type of oil it is cooked in. Stuff cooked/fried in peanut oil tastes different than stuff made in vegetable oil. Pig oil (aka bacon grease) gives...
