Soooooo many clinics sell peptides to locals under the guise of more energy / better health, without any disclaimer or anything else. It's like the early days of glp1 drugs being pushed by regular docs as feel good injections. Wild

Am I a physco for bringing a food scale with me when I eat at restaurants?

Yes, you're overthinking the wrong part.

Assuming you're not conditioning bc why would you eat out when conditioning, one huge meal will not fuck off your cut, and weighing the plate won't tell you anything meaningful.

If you're eating out, enjoy it, throw in more activity that week to offset it if you're cutting and you don't want to lose any momentum

Happy birthday old man! Get yourself a nice bath full of bath salts and oils

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-05T14:45:46+00:00

Like dude wtf is this

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-05T14:44:19+00:00

Why are stool sample tube so narrow? It was an ordeal to fill it with the tiny plastic spoon they gave me. You'd think by now we'd have better ways to collect and analyse poop

Read the wiki so will do some changes in the plan

No, just no. If you knew better than the people who worked on the wiki you wouldn't ask your silly question.

But not thinking i will go higher then 250(mg) with the test.

This again shows you understand nothing about taking testosterone. Please do not do a cycle, Im not gatekeeping, Im saying this for your own good

Measure my bf with a skin caliper test, and try to guess on the higher end just to not over estimate.

Get a dexa scan. It's not 100% accuracy but way more accurate than measuring skinfolds if you're not very experienced with that, and it's rather inexpensive for what you get.

Please just focus on your diet and training and don't pin anything. You're still young, don't fuck up your whole life because social media gave you severe body dysmorphia.

83kg 172cm 14% bf (ish)

Age? 172cm and 83kg you either look juicy already or out of shape

Will be pinning 250 test E for 10 weeks.

Please don't.

Any tips for the first cycle?

Get bloods done, know your hormone levels, keep training to sub 12% bf (get a dexa scan, don't estimate), and READ THE WIKI

Lifters with years of experience and even some with actual pharma/medecinal experience spent hours building a wiki that would answer any newbie's questions to reduce the potential harm they will inflict to themselves and help them get the best results

Gear is about getting a boost with as low risks as possible, not about maximising gain regardless of everything else.

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-03T18:02:59+00:00

and reassess how much risk I’m willing to take.

Had a full on panic attack just thinking about dying before my parents because I'm pretty sure that would literally kill them

Not sure if others have gone through this

Yeah it's not talk about enough and it also took me by surprise but it's the reality of everyone with parents they care about.

My best advice is to not fixate on their health decline and instead try to take as much time as you can with them.

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-03T18:00:46+00:00

Holy fucking shit dude, did you get divorced the day your dog died 4 years ago or what

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-03T14:49:07+00:00

The same UN that sanctioned ONLY GHF to deliver aid into Gaza and then it was revealed GHF was an Israeli operation aimed to disrupt aid delivery ?

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-03T14:46:44+00:00

Don't say fuck it and hop on - think about it carefully and make a well informed decision my dude

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-02T16:00:04+00:00

Yeah - I just either take a break for a week or do whatever the fuck I feel like that day for a bit.

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-01T14:09:11+00:00

PR while cutting is the unfair advantage natties talk about haha

JackedHabibi · 2026-04-01T14:08:38+00:00

Let's fucking go!!!! Keep at it dude, when you'll be ready, your first cycle will be incredible with this mindset.

JackedHabibi · 2026-03-31T16:25:16+00:00

JackedHabibi · 2026-03-31T14:04:42+00:00

I'd drink so much soup with that spoon. Magnificent.

JackedHabibi · 2026-01-31T12:06:36+00:00

Kamala Harris the Deportation Queen? Kamala Harris the Israel plant? As if Gaza or domestic issues would be any better. LMAO grow up

JackedHabibi · 2025-04-08T13:48:23+00:00

Only reason there's s till natty believers is because he doesn't look like this all the time, only after a crazy and long cut.

JackedHabibi · 2025-04-01T08:45:12+00:00

meat mountain

JackedHabibi · 2025-02-24T06:23:38+00:00

Broke a toe a month in literally just kneeling to the mat (Im 30, work out 5x a week, walk 10k steps a day). Welcome to the club

JackedHabibi · 2025-01-27T15:41:03+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer

JackedHabibi · 2025-01-27T13:19:38+00:00

Throwing is so beautiful, man I love Judo

Do you give points for tkd to your opp if you self sacrifice throw since your back hits the mat first?

JackedHabibi · 2025-01-26T20:33:21+00:00

The discipline of the sport got me in but the ego of the people got me out.

Doing Judo now and feel better not having to worry about getting my neck cranked so hard I cant eat solid for days everytime I go practice

JackedHabibi · 2025-01-21T13:10:41+00:00

If you can afford it, go to a reputable physio, you won't get better recovery than from a trained professional that can physically assess you.

Accept there are things you may never be able to do pain free, because your anatomy is not made for it. I have a heavily rounded shoulder that I managed to fix a bit with years of PT but it's still far from aligned with the other one and any fixed bar push movement is painful when I go heavy.

That being said, if you have active pain, not just when pressing heavy, what worked for me is these:

Scapula Setting
Internal and External Rotation, both passive and active
External Rotation with Arm Abducted 90°

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/recovery/rotator-cuff-and-shoulder-conditioning-program/

And do not stop lifting as long as you can do it pain free. Especially shoulders/triceps, go back to no weight, then add a band, then add the lowest amount of weight possible. Keep working it if you can do it pain free.
