Interested in your experience with the Tb-500 and BPC-157. I have been looking into for awhile now and I would love to hear how you feel about them.Many of the people in hospital in the UK have been vaccinated. The vaccine definitely works but with the new strains it's not having so much of an effect. This is why there is talk of a 3rd booster jab and there will probably be a new one every year. As you write this is common knowledge. The concierge in my building just told me the reason I haven't seen him in a few weeks is because he had covid. He said his gf has it and is really bad now and they have both been double vaccinated. Most of the UK has been vaccinated and numbers are rising again and will continue to do so because we will reopen on the 19th (which we should).
Let's not turn this into a covid thread as it will be locked. I just wanted to update why I haven't been active recently. I am feeling rough today as well. My breathing is quite bad but I know it will be gone in a few more days. I think I will order some TB-500 and BPC-157 to help with my bi-cep. I am looking forward to getting back in the gym.

I know that when I can’t lift it changes my whole mood and being ill makes it even worse.
Hope you have a fast recovery and can get back into your routine
I remember you from way back in the day posting on here. (Both signed up 2008)
We’re the same age. It’s definitely time to grow if that’s the goal. Don’t want to be trying to add size in our 40s.
Good luck bro just wanted to give my thumbs up. (Someone that never posted much but I was aware of your posts)
Not criticizing so please don’t take it that way, but I’m genuinely curious. You seem to be a pretty low dose guy. Why the interest in using what are relatively high doses of insulin as opposed to increasing aas dose?Hey @Elvia1023 I noticed in your first post you mentioned lantus. Did you ever go through with trying that and could you share your thoughts?
I was thinking lantus 3x/week 20-50iu (starting low at 20iu and monitoring fasted and daytime levels, using whatever dose keeps my BG stable in a decent range on around 400g carbs a day on lantus/training days). GH 4iu/everyday. Cycle off, reduce carb intake, lower GH dose, start Metformin if morning bg level goes +110.
Gear minimal, test 350mg/primo 350mg (which is actually a lot for me given what I’ve been doing the last several years).
I’d like to grow/beat logbook but I can’t/won’t battle AAS sides anymore. I have experience taking humulin-r but never lantus.
I’ve been rereading some OLD posts of yours on slin (not saying you’re old hahaha!).
I read a bunch more and I totally realized that was true. I’m doing 20iu lantus and keto diet with carb refeeds on legs/arm day (1-2x week depending on ABA/BAB schedule). It’s working good I think.Not criticizing so please don’t take it that way, but I’m genuinely curious. You seem to be a pretty low dose guy.

I just hate increasing AAS because I get mental side effects (anxiety mainly) and physical sides which I can control with ancillaries but then I get sides from those drugs lol
No sir Pesty. The lantus is keeping me around 80-90 BG level on keto days except right after consuming whey isolate or at night after 4iu GH - both elevate my BG to around 100-110 - the whey spike drops much quicker than the GH spike. My BG goes higher on carb days but I’m fine with that as long as it comes down before another meal.You take any Humalog too with the Lantus?
Makes sense. From someone who suffers from severe anxiety I get itI read a bunch more and I totally realized that was true. I’m doing 20iu lantus and keto diet with carb refeeds on legs/arm day (1-2x week depending on ABA/BAB schedule). It’s working good I think.

Just seen 100mcg never mind but if it’s legit you’ll be feeling it soon just be patient
Apologies if you’ve already answered this but I’m interested in how many working sets per muscle group you’re doing per week and also the frequency.
Cheers
Man I’ve been down this road before somewhat….. you get in great shape, training and diet are spot on food is going down smooth, get up in the morning brush your teeth and you can see the results daily in the mirror like so much is Happening while your sleeping and bam you get hit a bad cold chest infection etc it fucking sucks… had a minor chest infection didn’t take care of it and it ended up turning into pneumonia one fucking lung lol but good things come w the bad from that I stopped smoking only because I couldn’t breathe by the way lol and guess what after I stopped smoking I stopped getting sick so much duhhhhhh… anyways I’m ranting hope your better soon and continue to ducking killing it. Also don’t know if it’s a coincidence but since I’ve started hgh whether it’s Maintenance dose longevity or pushing the button a bit I haven’t been sick at all knock on woodThis illness is not going away. I tested negative but my cough and just general well being has declined over the last week. I am coughing up green mucus and have headache when I do so I have started antibiotics and I am taking some time off the gym. I literally train through everything (not a good thing) and it's probably set me back this time round because I was still pushing things hard in the gym even though I could barely breathe. It's a lot for the immune/nervous system to take so in order to move forward I have to take a step backwards and allow my body to rest. Once this chest infection clears I will resume. I will just do stretching for the next few days at home.
Besides feeling like death things are going well. I can see changes in my body and I should look sharp in a few weeks. Obviously when you first start dieting you look your worst because you're at your fattest whilst losing that extra fullness from if you eat like me massive amounts of carbs. Things are looking ok though I just need to come down a bit. My training has been great recently and I will carry that on when I am back in the gym. I last trained on Friday (Sunday now) and it looked like...
Incline Bench DB Lateral Raises... 1 working set.
Standing DB Lateral Raises... 2 working sets (the last being partials with 30kg db's then full rom with 10kg db's)
High Incline Barbell Press... 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Pec Deck... 1 working set.
Machine Chest Press... 1 working set (wide grip).
DB Chest Flyes... 1 working set.
Machine Chest Press... 1 working set (partly neutral grip).
2 giants sets of tri-cep pushdowns, machine extensions, machine dips, barbell overhead extensions and rope pushdowns.
Stretches.
Most people associate giant sets with light weight but that's far from the case. Although I wasn't pushing weight and was aiming for at least 10 reps on each movement with good form. I was still doing 3/4 of the rack for most movements and used a 30kg barbell for the overhead extensions (deep rom and slow rep pace). My tri-ceps are very sore now so it done the job. I especially like this approach when you may be in the gym for awhile and have arms to finish but don't want to take too long and you can destroy them whilst incorporating various movements in 10 mins this way.
Carbs were lower that day and have been since as I haven't been active...
Chicken breast with a side salad of baby green leaf, baby red leaf, baby spinach, wild rocket, avocado, raspberries, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
Whole egg and bacon sandwich on malted bread, raspberries, black grapes and 2 squares of 85% dark chocolate.
100mcg IGF-1 LR3 (50mcg in each pec) and 3ml synthetine.
TRAIN (EAA's, 60g of carb powder, 10g glutamine and 5g creatine).
Roasted chicken breast (cajun spice mix, pink salt and pepper), aubergine, courgette, red/yellow peppers and chopped onion.
Steak with a side salad of baby green leaf, baby red leaf, baby spinach, wild rocket, feta cheese, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
Synthepure (approx 75g protein), walnuts and blueberries.
I was planning to have a steak with vegetables before bed but I didn't have anything prepared and I was tired and didn't even feel like eating so just had the shake with some nut and berries.
