Bit of a sanity check, no massive updates in three days ofc!
Workouts:
Monday - International Chest Day
Tuesday - Shoulders
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Back
Friday - Arms
2 days/week HIIT (sprints or rowing like a nutcase for 10 minutes of sets.)
Lifts are just a mixup of as many compounds as I can get in, so very sub-optimal for muscle building, but FORGET that for now, I’ll maintain what I have and deal with getting mass back post-PFS. Broadly speaking 5 exercises/bodypart, 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Again, depends on exercise. I also find R-Andro for example lowers estrogen, so I tended to do higher rep sets for that and try to avoid joint injury.

Daily herb (this is now alternate days Tongkat Ali/Boron (12mg) between Apr1989’s Tribulus cycles, for the SHBG lowering effect, whatever good that does given my understanding of things.)

Colostrum (will drop once it runs out.)
Shilajit
Wobenzym

I’ll also randomly neck Vitamin C through the day. Get through about 3-4g /day I think.
Diet (sample day):
Morning - smoothie (1x mug of brocolli, 1x handful of kale, 1x handful of spinach, 1x raw egg, 1x tsp each of chlorella, gelatinized black MACA, dash of Nam Pla (thai fermented fish sauce,) couple slices fresh ginger to taste.)
Breakfast - Chicken cooked in yeast extract ‘gravy’ sauce and bell peppers and onion, white rice, broccoli, apple.
Mid morning - 3 scoops dessicated egg white powder with water.
Lunch - Chicken and rice as above, another apple.
Dinner - (oh boy) beef steak, 5 eggs scrambled with spinach (both cooked in butter,) smoked salmon with lemon, broccoli, microwaved potato, whey protein shake.
Additionally drink Pau D’Arco tea throughout the day and drink 500ml plus of beet juice.
Gym got a little easier, the ‘sour headache’ is still fluctuating but better than it was a while back. I can work a day now just about, sleep is definitely on the up, just wish I could nod back off again when I inevitably wake about 5am. I do get 6-7 hours on a weeknight, get 10+ hours on a Friday/Saturday.
I’ve put on 1kg in the last few weeks. This’ll do me nicely for the next fast.
Penis (yes you all knew there would be penis updates) is much the same. Sometimes weak nocturnals, very very very rare weak mornings, but did manage to have non-viagra/anything sex with it twice last weekend. Tiny bit premature I’d say, both times, but she was happy, so I’m happy. Maybe erections got a bit better and fuller since the last R-Andro cycle too. But only a little bit. I try and edge for 15 minutes twice daily with a full erection, which I do have to keep stimulating to keep up. Use it or lose it.
Also get tiny little flickers of libido and very weak partial erections from sexual thoughts.
Emotionally a bit flat but improved. Suicide ideation is getting less frequent and insistent now.
I’m better than I was back in October, no doubt about that. I hope so badly that I continue. And I know a LOT of PFS sufferers would KILL to be where I am, so I’m taking that as a blessing.
Keep fighting guys.
