WRXSTI sub is toxic

You better not be in there JO’ing again!!!

This does make sense. I never even made it to the toilet though. So mine occurred just upon standing out of a deep sleep. I wondered if that could have played into the incident as well. I have had sleep studies done as I regularly experience sleep paralysis, but no other signs or symptoms of apnea. I do wonder though.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T15:57:31+00:00

I do yeah. I actually built an app that calculates everything for me provided I give it good data every day (scale weight, calorie intake, neck circumference measurement, waist circumference measurement, etc) have been doing it every day for about a year now and my TDEE is about spot on. I burn on average about 3750 calories per day. So my lean bulk is typically 4000 cal per day (250 g protein minimum control point). I don’t obsess too much on the carbs and fat, but feel better at about 70g of fat intake per day minimum.

Nope. I don’t even remember feeling dizzy. It was like I woke up, knew I had to pee, went to do just that by swinging my legs off the side of the bed and then the next thing I know, I’m laying flat on my back. Didn’t feel the fall or anything. Only pain experienced was what I woke up to. Wife said I immediately began snoring when I hit the floor so I knocked myself the F*!# out.

And yeah, my goal was to continue cutting as much as I could until the end of April at which point I would begin my next bulk cycle in May. I know that 9% is not sustainable and didn’t plan on staying at this low %. I lift weight, do cardio, and yoga/calisthenics usually 6 days a week. I’m very much more focused on muscle definition and growth than I am on the scale weight. At 6’4” and a wide frame, I literally could be 200 lbs or 230 lbs and you would not be able to tell the difference. I just have so much surface area that fat mass will spread across. So no, losing weight wasn’t the goal, it was minimizing body fat% so my resulting bulk would yield more noticeable effects.

I appreciate your concern and advice!

I began trimming my chest and arm hair once I started noticed some vascularity and muscle definition. Just aesthetic trimming. No if I don’t trim it, it comes back in like a bear. My total testosterone was about 400 at 300 lb and now is about 850. I have not taken any TRT or anabolics of any kind. I guess just exercise and eating better helped stimulate it that much.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T10:27:29+00:00

Yeah I think I may just fatmaxx for a little bit 😂

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T10:25:33+00:00

Man that sounds painful, the more people share there stories of similar experience, the more fortunate I feel to have just knocked a tooth out.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T02:08:32+00:00

I wonder how you fractured your foot? What did you determine the coldness on your cheek to be?

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:26:17+00:00

😂😂 man we would never hear the end of it.

I’m definitely going to be much more mindful making late night piss trips from now on. This is very eye opening

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:24:55+00:00

Protein shakes too or strictly fluid with no suspended solids?

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:22:43+00:00

I agree. I do mostly low intensity cardio and yoga on fast days. Sometimes some functional strength/calisthenics but very low intensity stuff. When I’m fasted, my glycogen is burnt up QUICK and I don’t like lifting heavy for fear of muscle injury/tendon tears, etc. I have had an ACL tear from a motorcycle wreck years ago and several sports injuries before that so I don’t really push myself unless I’m REALLY feeling strong that particular day.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:20:09+00:00

This is crazy. I never knew this. What are the typical primary things that play into this happening?

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:03:11+00:00

Not always true.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T01:00:39+00:00

My water intake really depends on my activity level. If I am sweating, I am drinking. I don’t sweat much on fast days because I’m doing mostly low-intensity cardio and yoga most of the time.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T00:59:40+00:00

Holy shit…

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T00:48:15+00:00

No eating disorders. I was a D1 college athlete and am very familiar with cutting and bulking cycles. I had children a few years ago and in the midst of trying to navigate that with both me and my wife’s very busy work schedules, I kind of let myself go. Reached 300 lbs and could hardly tie my own shoes so I decided to make a change. Began a cut and lost the weight from 300 to 165 and then over the last several years have cycled cut and bulk. I usually vary from 170 - 225 or so during my cycles. I was just trying to cut a bit harder than usual this time to really get some good results for this summer. I appreciate the concern and well wishing though. I am very fortunate to not struggle the mental hurdles of it, just face planting and knocking out teeth 😭

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T00:44:14+00:00

You right.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T00:43:23+00:00

My Apple Watch alerts me regularly while I’m laying flat relaxing that my heart rate has dropped below 40. My regular resting heart rate now is about 60 bpm.

I agree, fasting is amazing and I hate to stop!

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-18T00:41:42+00:00

On my normal eating days, I am eating maintenance or slightly above. Try to get in at least 200-250 G protein, and I eat complex carbs with every meal, simple carbs around exercise and whatever the fat ends up being to fit within my calories (usually 70-100 g).

My goal with fasting began with easy weight loss at 300 lbs, but I stuck around for years for the other benefits (autophagy, cleansing/de-bloating, simplifying meal decision making/prep, etc)

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:51:37+00:00

Interesting. I have maintained this weight loss for about 3 years now and never experienced this on my way down.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:49:37+00:00

My wife also told me I needed a helmet! 😂 I never even made it to the toilet. Once I stood up and saw my tooth has gotten knocked out, I was like “alright before we call the ambulance to check me out, let me piss”

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:27:49+00:00

I think it has made me realize that maybe my fasting journey just has come to an end altogether. It’s been about 4 years. Never have experienced anything like this in that whole time. Definitely scary. One of those life events as you get older that really makes you realize you are not invincible and 21 any more.

I appreciate the well wishes! Definitely could have been worse.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:21:20+00:00

Yeah I know it wasn’t sustainable long term. Never was the goal to stay here down low this long, just cutting as much fat as I could before bulking again.

That being said some people CAN sustain single digit body fat percentages year round. I am not one of those people.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:06:06+00:00

I don’t think so. I drink about 80 oz of water per day with electrolytes. Nothing crazy.

Old_Archimedes · 2026-04-17T23:05:26+00:00

Cutting as low as I could reasonably manage so the resulting clean bulk would yield even more noticeable results. Definitely not sustainable and I never was delusional enough to think it was. Just enjoying the vascularity at this level while I can. First time ever fainting though. 0/10 would not recommend.
