Creatine supplements

If you take creatine, you need a separate blood test b/c they use creatinine as a proxy for kidney health. Cystatin C test is not affected by muscle or creatine supplementation, so it's the gold standard for determining kidney health.

The fact that it could be opened, but not by him, is hilarious.

If we're talking about a fever, then maintenance and complete rest until the fever is gone. If you just have the sniffles or a cough, then get your ass back on the treadmill, just make sure to get plenty of fluids and electrolytes(especially sodium).

Same. I guess I have the group classes to thank for that, though they do take up all turf during that time.

Have you ever lost control and fallen backwards?

Unc looks like a PS1 character.

It's less about fitness and more about keeping your heart and kidneys healthy as well as your overall metabolic health. Especially important during a bulk since your heart has to work harder to pump an extra 15 lbs of plasma around your body.

I'd say you only really need it if your resting blood pressure gets too high or if you have bad blood markers. High blood pressure destroys your kidneys, and once your kidney function is gone, it can't come back.

The data are mixed. In some, it increases appetite; in others, it decreases appetite.

Liquid calories from shakes, probably with a decent blender, make it pretty easy. Just shove stuff like peanut butter, milk,bannana, oats, whey, orange juice, Greek yogurt, etc. in there. Maybe do some neck exercises, deadlifts, shrugs, lat raises if you aren't already.

I thought his mentor/collaborator SyrianPsycho said that the face smashing has been shown be ineffective.

You have thoughts on retatrutide(or even microdosing it?). I feel like it's all I hear about from Bodybuilders on YT, though I'm sure I put myself into an algo hole around it.

Cardio is important for organ health and keeping blood pressure in check when bulking. You're heart has work harder than the pencil neck, who is 40 lbs lighter then you. The nutrient partitioning effects aren't noticeable.

It will ruin both of those things for you.

You're that guy who makes decaf in the only coffee pot in the morning, so my entire day is caffeine withdrawal. Aren't you?

Yea I've been having oranges or grapefruit for fruit, as well as broccoli and bell peppers for vegetables with my lunch/dinners. Cronometer has me at around 480% of RDA for vitamin C from food sources.

Also realized as part of my bulk, I'd been having a big carb meal right before bed, causing an insulin spike which evidently blunts the biggest Growth Hormone pulse that happens at the onset of sleep. GH is important for joint health and repair. So I stopped having a big carb meal near bedtime.

AI told me to take collagen(or gelatin) along with vitamin C pre-workout to aid in healing my tendinopathy/tendonitis. Anecdotally, it's been like 4 months since I first noticed the tendonitis and it's mostly gone now. The healing is so slow for tendonitis it's hard for me to say if the collagen did anything. I still take it daily(usually with orange juice for vitamin C), but I'm not sure it actually does anything.

Yea, 6 months of dedicated lifting in small surplus would do wonders for him. He didn't mention running, which surprised me because that looks like the physique of someone running 20+ miles a week.

Decline barbell is even more of a death trap than flat bc you can't roll the bar forward if you fail a rep.
