~Curlieque's Life Log~

[Curlieque]

ASF bros, welcome to the health life log of the character known as Curlieque.
I've been putting this off for a while, so I decided to bite the bullet and just start this thang!

Current stats:
41 - 6'2" - 234lbs this morning- BF ~30%
Cutting with a diet of about 2700-2800 cals- 45/13/42 F/C/P
IF 2 meals a day consisting of chicken thighs, ground beef, green beans, brussel sprouts, eggs, fruit, protein powder(desert shake) during the week- days 1-6/ Sunday-Friday. Saturdays have been my rest day/ high carb day of chicken breast, white rice and sweet potatoes.

Supps:
Protein powder, creatine, aminos, l-carnitine caps, vitd+k, citrus berg, nac + milk thistle, albaplex(kidney), zypan (digestion), nattokin, EFAs, hemevite+ (iron), cialis 5mg, kratom (straight up kratom- ASF sponsor).
300mgs test e/ week- M/W/F- Started June 10th (222lbs) w/ 250mgs/ week- 300 mgs after 4 weeks. Continue until the end of the year, then drop to real TRT levels- checked per bloodwork. First cycle after 11 years natty and not lifting much, loving it! I've used SB and Dutch- both excellent- back on SB now.
2 IU HGH ED before bed- started about 3 weeks ago- first timer.

Goals:
Short term- drop 25-30 lbs to get to a very lean 205-210 @ 6'2" ~ 15% BF by mid December (vacation)- 13 weeks.
Long term- add 10-20lbs over 5-10 years while being very healthy.

Experimental training:
I'm going to get a lot of hate for this one, but it's an experiment of mine until the end of the year.
X3 Bar- 6 Days a week- Sunday- Friday- Push/Pull repeat. I'd say it's done better than I expected in the last year.
After the neq year I'm thinking about going back to the gym 1-2 days a week for weights. I have a torn labrum, so this training has been easy on it. But I miss real weights and want to get back to them at some point.

I'll be starting cardio more now- treadmill 2-3 times a week. Volleyball on Monday nights. I just did 40 mins fasted, felt really good- 9% incline @ 2.8-3.0 mph. I love doing the inclines.

I'll try to update this log a few times a week. I am crazy busy during the week- up and going at 6AM and sometimes finally relaxing at 8-9PM. I have routine bloodwork this Friday. Thanks and hope you enjoy the log!

I’ll come smoke you in volleyball! Sub me in

 

[MindlessWork]

Perhaps get some grappling in with the likes of @AR-15

 

[Bamm-bamm]

I will follow along your journey

No time and don't want to get hurt again. Broke my ankle last year and my health care sucks!

Probably, but it's something my wife and I do together. We have some good games, play about 1:30- 2 hours.

Had a nice pull day today. DL, rows, curls, calves. Tomorrow morning I'll start off with fasted cardio. No volleyball as my wife is still getting over her cold.

 

[Curlieque]

Busy week, but getting my food in, and workouts in. Yesterday my alarm didn't go off for morning cardio, because I was having issues with it( my phone) apparently I was on a zoom meeting call for who knows how long and that messed up that notification, and couldn't use my Bluetooth etc until I figured that out. But, I hit cardio this morning at 5:30 for 30 mins to stay the day. Weight is still at 233. For some reason it's

 

[Curlieque]

Of course i just tried to go back and edit/finish my thought and was timed out.
Try and remember what I just wrote.

For some reason the weight is staying the same. Because of the gh? Maybe increase calories? I don't think I should be lowering calories because I'm not eating much anyways. I'm definitely not adding on muscle.

I thought of taking pictures each week to see if there are any changes each week or after multiple weeks. I have plenty of time between now and vacation, though I feel like I'm behind where I want to be, but don't want to make any drastic changes.

Feeling good, energy is good, workouts are good being limited with what I'm doing. Just crazy busy getting up at 5:15 and ending my day around 8-9PM before I finally sit down to relax, then it's bedtime.

 

[StadaGear]

Don't focus on the scale bro, it lies. So many factors determine optimal individual weight. Body frame, composition, muscle density/maturity. For example, I look like I'm 240ish pounds but I'm only about 207-210. My natural frame is more medium sized. If you are struggling with injuries, my advice is to concentrate on your nutrition, don't starve yourself into a skinny string bean, rather focus on high quality, nutrient dense meals. This is the hardest and most important part. Steady state fasted cardio to maintain a heartrate of about 140 (speed and incline will vary and change as you become more fit). Definitely take pictures, about every four days, all the little changes add up and will help keep you motivated.

This is a must. The mirror doesn't lie.

Take them 2 per week and track weekly trend of weight. Not the fluctuations.

 

[Curlieque]

Man I love my day of rest, Saturdays. I slept into 9! I can tell my body needs it after going all day everyday.
Weight down to 230 this morning.
I've been a little tired this week come afternoon. I think my body is telling I need more carbs. So today is a high carb day, for me, but I'll be introducing more carbs, and I think another meal to break up the 2 big meals I have. Usually around 12-1 then 7-8 ish. I'm thinking first one around 11, then 3, then 7. I've been eating/ finishing my last meal closer to bedtime and I think I need more time for it to start digesting before bed, which is usually around 9:30-10PM.
I'll be adding in sweet potatoes with my chicken, beef and greens. I made some brussel sprouts the other day, and those are awesome. I've been on a garlic green bean kick for a while, so the change is nice.
I'm actually going to have a cheat meal tonight, making some breaded chicken. My 'cheat' meals the last month have been my Saturday chicken breast, white rice, and sweet potatoes. I think this will give me a little kick start again. We'll see!
I was supposed to get BW done yesterday, but got too busy with work. I'll go and get'r done Monday.
BP this morning was 123/80.
I'll get my wife to take some pics tomorrow morning so I can start looking at those for changes. Not the best light in here, other than the bathroom which is tiny, so no full length shots in there.

Thread '"Forged by Fletcher" INFO-SERIES: EP 1. - PANCREATIN - Why you should be supplementing!'

Aug 15, 2023

This should be in EVERYONE'S dietary supplement regimen!

Basics:
1. Pancreatin is produced by the pancreas and pancreatin production decreases with age and due to other factors.
2. Pancreatin is a blend of essential digestive enzymes.
3. Pancreatin levels directly determine the percentage of nutritients absorbed vs. nutrients consumed.
4. Pancreatin enzymes are the weapons used by your Killer-T White Blood Cells to combat disease and infection.

Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important for digesting fats...

Ah great, more pills! What makes one think they might need to supplement with this? What are the first notable effects when first taking these to know it's really working, or is it a long term effect?

Read that thread.

 

[Curlieque]

Just got some bloods back and it's pretty much the same, so I'm not concerned. I have a platelets that I started as my platelets were high a few months back.
Platelets- 483
Hemo- 16.0
Hema- 50.4
Test- 2045 BW done the day after injecting, so it's lower than before. This wasn't a concern of mine, just some stuff in the men's light panel I wanted to see.

I guess that's just what my platelets do while on cycle since I never checked it before. It's so convenient now it's stupid not to. I have been tired lately, but think that's due to the gh I've been taking for the first time. E2 is 46. Fasted glucose is 88. But it seems after my first meal I get really tired during the afternoon. It's not a carb heavy meal by any means. I don't have a glucose monitor, and don't plan on getting one. GH is only 2IU before bed. No insulin just is in my future.

My shoulder has been giving me more issues lately, so I'm wondering if I should get another MRI done to see if surgery it's needed. I really want it( torn labrum) fixed so I can get back to lifting real weights here and there. My neck has been super tight/ sore lately as well, I've been meaning to get to the chiropractor to get adjusted, and a massage I think is needed. I got one of those massage guns, and it works pretty good, but haven't really used it for long periods. I think I'll do that today.

I measured my biceps the other day just to see where I'm at, and it's a pathetic 18", but I'm not 22 anymore when it was closer to 19.5"-20", still small for my size but that would be nice.

Weight is still at 232 this morning, with a few mornings at 230. I thought I would break into the 220s, but I have added in a little more carbs this week to see if that would kick up my metabolism. Maybe start to lower cals?
I've been 'cutting' since January, so maybe my body just needs a break. You figured I'd be super lean by now, but I've just been kind of wingin' it.

I've been consistent with cardio, doing 25-30 mins 3-4 times this week. Maybe I'll up it to 5-6 days. Maybe time to add in some clen? That's worked in the past.

What are your macros? Sounds more like a diet issue than cardio one.

 

[Curlieque]

Yeah, it definitely is. I have my macros in this thread, but that was previous to this past week where I ate a little more carbs, less fat this week. I need to sit down and write it all out later. It's definitely not as easy as when I was younger to follow a plan and get really lean, losing fat each week.

As you know it's 90% diet! Get that dialed in and the weight will drop.
