Thanks for questions Warlock & kind words on bloods, much appreciated.
p.s. The RENPHO is a twenty nine dollar electronic scale you can buy that measures very accurate weight, bodyfat, muscle mass, and 5 other body readings, it sends the data to your phone via bluetooth, very good scale for reading your body fat and muscle mass, has over 7,000 reviews.
I use a modified keto diet with higher protein (1.2 gram per lb of lean body weight). It is also "targetted keto diet" or TKD in that 35 grams of carbs (1/2 cup oatmeal with 1/4 cup milk) are used 1.5 hour preworkout to fuel best performance in the gym, carbs are expended during workout and restore glylcogen to muscles, then keto resumes once again a couple hours post workout. Studies have shown you can get just as strong on keto diet in the gym as someone who is on a normal carb rich diet. And I don't look flat, I still look round and full. The carbs help replenish muscle glycogen. Fats are used as a "leverage" and will adjust up or down, but I keep fats mid to high.
Favorite fats: 1 guacamole a day, 5 fish oil tablets (break up in mouth to make sure they absorb), 5g CLA tablets, olive oil, fatty meats every other day (steak, hamburger), alternate days are chicken breast or fish. Breakfast is 5 eggs with some fatty meat. I like to hit the golden corral buffet down the street for $9 all you can eat on workout days and consume salad, keto meats like sirloin tips/steak/hamburger, squash, brocolli, also like the panda bear terriakki chicken with super greens on some days, or 2 chicken breast from whataburger for $4 on some days for variety. Unlike most, I hate to cook, except for breakfast.
50g of met-rx is my favorite protein shake used daily. Many days I only eat 8 hours of the day (breakfast, lunch, and protein shake at 3pm) then I don't eat for the rest of the day/night (intermittent fasting 16 hours no eat/8 hours to eat). Studies at ergo-log on intermittent fasting show rapid fat weight loss with no loss of muscle, even gains in strength in the gym equal to non-intermittent fasting types. This is true.
As mentioned earlier, 5g of CLA fats per day along with 2.5 gram betaine has been proven at studies at ergo-log to result in lots of lean muscle gain and major fat loss compared to placebo. See also the studies at ergo-log on cla + betaine super stack, and the other 5 studies. Fish oil good for muscle growth too, see studies.
Enhanced athlete brand arachidonic acid is the one with all the reviews at amazon, and the one I like.
Have only been using arachidonic a few weeks, unlike most who take in cycle of 50 days on/50 days off, I take 4 caps before every workout, so that I can take it year round without having to cycle it. Some have mentioned the pumps are so painful, they have to decrease down to 3 caps in the reviews, I can relate to that. Llewellyn mentioned in 2006 anabolics guide (hardcover) that many in the study gained 8.25 lbs of lean muscle in 3 months on arachidonic acid, but most studies show a 3.25lb lean muscle gain compared to placebo in 2 months time.
I only feel bad in that some people get lethargy when they take mk677 (I don't get any whatsoever). I wish I knew why that happens. But there is always HGH or peptides for those who get lethargy from it.
By the way the 828 ng/dl reading on testosterone was measured 3 days after my 50mg test cyp shot, so it is way higher than this on the 1st and 2nd days, and I take 50mg shot every other day along with the 0.5mg arimidex (extreme peptides brand is super cheap and very effective, in case you are looking for good liquid).
I love every other day shots, to figure how to do it, take your for example 175mg test cyp shot for the week and divide by 7 = 25mg per day. So then multiply 25mg x 2 = 50mg shot you will then take every other day...
...and with arimidex, typical rule (works great for me) is to use 1mg arimidex per each 100mg of test cyp per week. For example: 200mg of test cyp per week = 2mg of arimidex a week = 2mg/7 days = .285mg per day. Then take .285mg x 2 = 0.57mg every other day to take at same time as test cyp shot. A level of between 22 and 30 is great for E2 (estradiol).
I use the standard on-line $49 E2 estradiol test (not the sensitive one) as it is cheap and gives accurate reading. The testosterone test is around $59, so a little over $100 for both tests. I live right down from a lab corp that draws blood, so I do testing often (like with mk677 and test/e2, etc.).
I will continue to track my mk677 results and baseline each year, as have done for 2018, 2019, and will report back in the future with 2020 results, etc. Only costs around $69 for on-line igf-1 test. Several pages on mk677 in the book "grow young with hgh" (great book). It was orginally discovered by Merck labs in the 90's.
p.s. as mentioned earlier, my A1C, glucose, and insulin were all completely normal when I measured them with a blood test taken 7 months into my mk677 use last year. It had NO detrimental effects on my insulin (see my 1st post above). However, this year I incorporated 300mg of +R-ALA (dr. danielle is great brand) at 1 cap before every meal, as it has been proven in studies to be even more effective them metformin, and berberine has been proven to be just as effective as metformin. So combining the two is a win-win.
p.s. trenbolone even at 140mg a week (20mg tren ace daily with insulin syringe) would cause me to wake up in middle of night, or to wake up early, this one single and only side effect really bothered me, so I gave up on tren. However, primobolan is the champagne of steroids imho. It is the one steroid that you can take that makes you look like you are on steroids, but don't feel like you are on steroids, it is basically side effect free, amazing stuff, one of Arnold's fav along with d-ball, I agree completely. It has an anabolic ratio of 80 to 88, so using 500mg of the stuff is equal to around 400mg of test, but no water retention, high blood pressure, or bad lipids like high test can cause. It's androgenic ratio is only 40 to 44. So using 500mg of primo with 200mg of test cyp is close to around nearly the gains of 600mg of test imho, and we all know what 600mg of test can do in a 12 week study published on-line. But with primo, it is all muscle, and no water retention, and you keep around 80% of the gains.
