If/when do you incorporate Metformin?

My metformin use is a bit sporadic.

Examples of when....

If I've gluttonously extended my consumption of carbohydrates beyond the allotted Fortitude window, I'll take it at night, around 1000mg.

If I've had an enormous cheat meal.

If I've eaten an unreasonable amount of simple, high GI carbs, which tend to make me sluggish.

I've noticed that if I use it regularly, as in multiple days in a row, I'm not as hungry... and I get a slight increase in muscle soreness. The best way I can describe the soreness, is that it feels like metabolic waste builds up much quicker. If lactic acid burning would normally kick in around 12-15 reps, I feel it on reps 8-10.

Basically, I like using it as more of a bandaid than for daily use, ranging between 500-1700mg.

Carbs are definitely addicting. I can fast and not crave a thing, as soon as I have that first carb I continue to crave more. You're definitely right.

That seems like a lot of aromasin and Nolvadex for what you are using.

Honestly, only precontest IF I roll like I'm getting ready for Abu Dhabi. Flow rolling is great for mobility and athleticism. Off-season rolling is great for the heart, lungs, and my ability to move new mass. I've never felt so light @ 275-280lbs.

Bear in mind, those doses are EOD.

I've been trying to rely mostly on 40mg Nolvadex... but taking Aromasin seems to help with some bloat. I'm super estrogen sensitive. When I get my blood checked, I'll see what the results say. If estrogen is low, I'll drop the Aromasin.

For every 2 Gi sessions, on average, I train 1 No Gi.

I don't have a preference at all. Love all grappling. No Gi makes me LOOK better though, because nobody can grab on to anything. LOL!

It's honesty more experimental, as most of my previous offseason blasts have been in the neighborhood of 1000-1500mg. It's haven't had a "real" offseason in years... since 2011 into 2012. I quit for two years... maintained (TRT and "elevated" TRT) from 2014 into 2015, and did the same from 2015 into 2016.

Precontest, I usually hit around the 2g mark.

Test is 350 x 3.5, so 1225mg'ish, but the others are correct.

I'll blast until the gains stop, then cruise. My plan is to blast about 6-8 weeks, then cruise @ 350mg EW till blood work is good. Hopefully that's only 3-4 weeks.

Scott is a medical professional, so he'd never suggest anything directly. We aren't working together at the moment because offseason is way easier to handle on my own. If I need advice when I'm stuck though, he'll be one of 3 people (aside from
Jordan and Dante) that I go to. If and when I prep, that's when I'll start back with him with weekly check ins.
