Beast is back !!

[beast405]

Due to personal issues and a little bit of laziness (just being honest) I’ve been out of the gym for several months now. I am back and motivated to get back to it. Going to stock up on some supplements very soon (just running doc prescribed trt right now). I will be doing a very detailed log of my comback. Anyway just wanted to let you guys know that I am back and hope you all are doing great fellas ! Much love brothers !

Beast Is Back!

Sometimes life hits us hard (mentally) and we have to take a step back and adjust. I was down and out for a little while. Had some personal things but me and haven’t been in the gym in a few weeks or even taken a shot. Today was my first day back in the gym hard and just started my cycle back...

Same time last year.....


@beast405 do you have Seasonal affective disorder AKA SAD? Make sure vitamin D levels stay in the 40-60 ng/mL range year round and use light therapy lamps (VERALUX on amazon is excellent)

I'll add, the last time i took months off the gym, the return was annoying as hell; DOMS up the ass and feeling weak. That was over 10 years ago and i never take more than 4 weeks off anymore (due to injury or illness usually).



It takes about 3-4 weeks of no training to start losing strength/muscle. So i limit my time off when needed to that much, but i never want to go through the hassle of regaining muscle/strength after a long time off ever again if i can help it, it really sucks.

Mine tested at 94.1 ...anything wrong with being over 60? Range on the lab says 100 is the upper end (labcorp).

just that you don't normally see anything over 60 ng/mL in nature, even with tons of sun exposure.


I would have 80s ng/mL as the upper limit.

Months off? How many? I’m 45 and I can take one month off and be back to fully normal after about two weeks. That’s if I’m doing all the things needed to keep a system that is nice and anabolic and ready to work and grow. For me that’s simply eating decent and sleeping more than 4 hours a night. Plus optimizing hormones with a low dose cruise at a minimum.

What did you take off for and for how long?

Damn, I only take 10k iu Ed (2 soft gels). I'll have to cut back.

Months means +6 months. One month off is nothing, did you read my post at all? I said you can take one month off without really losing strength/muscle and i do it as needed when i get injured/sick/etc....

Yep, most people i find only around 5K daily with a meal containing fat to get into the optimal range. Depends on how much sunlight you get, skin color and genetics as well.

Yeah sorry. I read it but misunderstood it. Makes sense now. Thanks
