  2. I'm waiting patiently for the day we get a Chuys here in Charleston, SC.  Even a bad chuys would be 10x better than most the garbage they call texmex here. 

     

    I think brisket man John Lewis is working on a texmex concept but he needs to hurry up.

    What’s your routine? I have a 45 and a 25. I’m looking for a new routine for days that I don’t like the CrossFit workout.

    my routine is 20 squats x4, 10 snatches per arm x4, 20 swings x4 and 10 lunges per leg x4 .  it's good enough to get a little sweat going on days i cant make it to the gym.

  4. i have a 35lb kettle bell that i have a little 25min routine with on days that i can't go to the gym.  I've been doing a lot of farmer walks with 70lbers for 50 yards and waiter carries with 35's on cardio days.  Those work and i'd much rather do that for 45 mins than run.

    Checking in to say "fuck I'm sore."  Worked out every day since friday lightly on weights and on the stair stepper just to get a nice base layer of exercise going.  Weighed in at 167 this morning with no food in my belly and only 3 meals over the weekend.  Got a call this morning and do not qualify for test boosts.  No problem.  They recommended seeing my doc because of the drastic change in test levels between 2 blood draws and because I am at the bottom of the spectrum no matter what my tests showed.  I've got that scheduled this week.

    Today I set my workout plan for when I have my body comfortable with weights again.  I'll start meal planning tomorrow.

    What were your free test and total test #s?  Most doctors will tell you that you are fine if youre over 300 but if you are between 300-500 you can still feel like shit, low energy, hard to shed fat etc.  I go to an anti aging clinic where the doctor is a hormones expert way more so than an endo or GP.  He won't recommend TRT if you are over 550 total but it is elective if you want it.  I feel much better at optimal test levels than i did back when mine was 300.

    Yeah, this was the initial dosage to see how I reacted (25mg a day).  I took it years ago, but can't remember the results, and it was with a different doctor.  I go back to the endo at the end of July to reassess.  But I'm trying to get Arimidex or something sooner than that.  I hate being on a plateau.

    I've had T shots in the past.  I always end up having 2nd thoughts because I hear about how it could cause permanent infertility if continued.  I don't have kids. I'd like to keep that door slightly ajar.  I've read that HCG + T shots has a better chance of maintaining fertility, but I'm still nervous.

    it wont cause permanent infertility.  If you take hcg or clomid with it will keep the nuts working like normal.  If you just take T for over 6 months it may lower your count but if you go off and just take clomid it will bring your count back up.  Clomid actually improves your sperm count so if you're trying for a kid it improves your chances.

    I don't do shots. I take Clomid, as I mentioned.

    Never had any ED problems, even with T below 200 total. 

    Ah, i see.  I took 25mg of clomid and it got my T to around 780 and free of 19.  I added some t shots with the clomid and that bumped up my fat loss and gains in the gym.  You might consider bumping up to 50mg daily to see what that does for you.

    Total T up to 583

    Free T up to 120.1

    Estradiol up to 60

    I've messaged my endo and asked if he thinks I should start an aromatase inhibitor.  Waiting for a response.  I still have another month before he wants blood tests, so I've pushed him a bit. Maybe he'll call me in for an earlier appt.

     

    Just started the Beef & Butter fast today.  I'm skipping the butter coffee breakfast and just going with the 2 meals.  If I'm too hungry, I'll have to add in a butter tea or something in the morning.

    Each meal consists of 8oz ground beef (80/20) and 3 tbsp of salted butter.  I also salted the meat and added some garlic salt and black pepper while it browned.  Tasted pretty dang good.  But it seems everyone says that and by Day 2 they're sick of it. 

    The macros are supposed to put you into deep ketosis and break stalls.  I've been stalled out for a few weeks, and haven't been getting enough fat.  This will be roughly 1800 calories with 82% from fat, and just 18% from protein.  Only trace carbs.

    I'll keep y'all updated.  It goes for 4 days.

    with and e2 of 60 you'll have hard time losing fat and you're lucky if you're not having any ED side effects.  You need to get that down to around 20.  also, if 583 is your trough level you may need to bump up to twice weekly shots.

    I've only lost 4 lbs since May 17.  My rate of loss has really slowed down the last couple of months.  Overall, it's still probably within the 1-2 lbs a week rate everyone talks about, but that is really slow for me at my weight based on past experiences.

    I restarted Clomid for testosterone enhancement in late April.  I've heard it can make you retain water.  Could Clomid, combined with a boost in T, cause me to hold onto water weight as well as increase my appetite?

    Maybe my body is trying to find its new equilibrium.

    i don't know about the water retention thing but if your e2 is too high that can make you retain water, hold onto fat and generally harder to lose fat.  Clomid will definitely up your e2.

    It's righteous shit from San Antonio. Just discovered it a month ago but they've been around for ages. Big pack at Costco is about 15 bucks. I hear you can get smaller packs at HEB, etc. Great heat. Comes on after the bite. Threw it on the smoker for about an hour while brisket was resting. Pumped some extra pecan on to jazz it up.041371c8cde418176b4d902108c7b087.jpg

    I alway get those at Costco and i did the same thing yesterday.   

  11. Rodney Scott's here in Charleston is good whole hog but i always find myself just going to Lewis bbq and getting brisket.   They do have some damn good wings out here at a couple of different spots.
