TrenboloneTax: Hybrid Cycling / Lifting Log aka Make Hulk Bike Fast

[Benf15harp]

Pretty sure my right hip issue is labrum related. It checks all of the boxes based on my conversation with chatGPT.

@Benf15harp you dealt with labrum issue...any advice that isn't "go see the doc"?

1. Location of Pain​

• Usually felt deep in the front of the hip or groin area.

3. Specific Symptoms​

• Clicking, locking, or popping sensation in the hip joint.
• Pain worsens with activities such as:
  • Prolonged sitting (especially if hips are flexed)
  • rotating the hip
• Getting in/out of a car

4. Aggravating Positions​

• Pain intensifies when the hip is:
  • Internally rotated (turning the leg inward).
  • Combined motions like hip flexion + rotation often reproduce the pain.

Complete rest for min 1-2 weeks
And take 3 of these

Wtf are those!?

Sounds like this is becoming a major problem
If you must continue lifting upper body
No reaching down to pickup plates or dumbbells
do seated lifts. no standing lifts.
Absolutely no twisting.
No deep stretching. Light is ok and recommended.
Basically, think of being an 85 year woman with osteoporosis and live like that for two weeks.
Lol. But serious.

The pain isn't bad. It's super mild. Very mild. 1/10.

It's the popping / cracking that is alarming when getting out of car, internally rotating, etc.

I’m guessing pain killers and was kidding. But do take antiinflamatories

Fetty bruh

 

[bjjgear]

Lol I’m even worse. I’ve got full bottles that stare at me but I just don’t take them. Bad TrenT.

Is there anywhere you have detailed your daily Health supp / vitamin stack? I’d be really interested in that and I’d imagine a lot of folks would be curious / get value out of it.

Hah. I need to drop back under 500mg of AAS per week and just be happy there lol.

The best part of going moderate HRT is the low maintenance of it all.

The lack of pain is definitely good. Problem is those other issues could mean you’re not far from some serious pain. Take the time off brother. You’ll be better off. Took me being cut open 9 times and another several scopes before I realized rest was absolutely critical lol. But I’m a moron. Don’t be a moron.

The more the better baby!

TSH = .02

Free, T4 = 1.7
Free, T3 = 3.3

Was my last!

Typical US ref ranges on these free thyroid results? Just wanted to confirm.

I'm excited. I'm more banged up now than I remember being and I don't even have a good reason. Nothing acute.

I'm going to refrain from any hip hinge or squatting movements. No leg press either.

Will stick to hamstring and quad isolations very light and high reps.

I think I'm noticing some improvement already with the BPC + TB megadosing. BPC is cheap AF I might need to bump my numbers up on it.

I'm also a moron but I'm trying not to be a huge moron, lol.

Thanks for the consult, Dr. Ben.

Fetty bruh

Sounds nice. Won't fix anything lol. If I had to play a football game though I'd be on board with something like that.

Yes typical US reference ranges

Titrate TSH to about 1. No point in going below that. Taking needless risk. You aren't getting tissue biopsies of free thyroid hormones so all you've got to go on is serum TSH, fT4, fT3. Thyrotropin (or lack thereof) is not inert in the heart. I could post a lot of info bit will refrain.

You are pushing yourself to severe subclinical hypothyroidism. Looking forward to your recent bloods. The titration curve of TSH vs fT4 is very nonlinear and individual. You could most likely (as someone with apparently normal thyroid function) take your T4 dose down slightly, keep TSH and fT4/fT3 in range.

Ok, had to post at least one paper haha.

Subclinical Hyperthyroidism: When to Consider Treatment

Subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined by a low or undetectable serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level, with normal free thyroxine and total or free triiodothyronine levels. It can be caused by increased endogenous production of thyroid hormone (e.g., in Graves disease, toxic nodular goiter, or...

Gotcha. This is inline with what @Excel.exe had mentioned in the thread earlier this morning.

I’ll take a week or two off of T4 and then resume at 100mcg per day instead of 200.

Gearing up for bloods this week. Just trying to fuck them up more with some MSten.

Wow you are a speedboat the size of a cruise ship. Just switch to 100 or 150 mcg/day and reassess bloodwork in 8 weeks. No need to cold turkey for a week. I have no data on the shape of your titration curve so I would go 150 but would also want to see your baselines. So many questions.

Also added more comments in above post. Bad habit.

 

[Grey Spartan]

Would you mind explaining how I’m running hyperthyroid at a risky amount if my free t4 and free t3 are both in range?

I have the same question for my Docs next time I see them. I have had a biopsy done (no cancer), ultrasounds and non stop blood work. I'm starting to think it has nothing to do with gear since it has been going on years before.
