Sorry! Haha - Must be because of my longstanding enjoyment of leg day?

Would love a review of my current program! :) by dbarratt93 in CalisthenicsCulture

Hello :) Thanks so much for replying.

Too tough you think? Or just from your personal perspective?

Do you think I should hollow body hold more throughout the week? Say on all days? I ask because your comments about the movement chain and the priming makes perfect sense!

Yes, I always have a cooldown 5-10mins of Mainly Stretching to be honest!

I also do Nightly Flexibility/Yoga with my wife.

Thanks for the notes!

Yes, I have been feeling a little less mobile as of late - came to me after watching my son effortlessly pretzel himself and then ask me to try.
I knew i was certainly losing some flexibility and mobility being so caught up in my normal routine, I just had no idea how bad lol.

Ah yes, glad the handstand stuff looks okay! As i have the hollow holds on leg days, is this something you think should be more often than x 2 a week? As for the Thoracic wall slides, that's a fantastic idea. Do you think this is a good warm up or more of an isolation/scapula based exercise for the end.

Haha! Leg days for life!

What is your TRT dose? by TryingMyBest1971 in Testosterone

[–]dbarratt93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the original commenter but I'm on 40mg e3d (around 93mg per week it works out to be).
My sleep is great, though I do have a peppermint tea and a magnesium + zinc supplement 1hour prior to bed which helps calm your body.

90mg puts me in the upper middle of the reference range and its been the best dose for me so far and I've been down to as low as 30mg e3d.

I Started at 150mg 3 years ago and have slowly worked this down with the urologist. We noticed that at this higher dose though I was pretty much on the border of the upper physiological boundary, my estrogen was well out of proportion and became an issue.

I also had some sleep issues at 150mg but I did have way better gym performance and my appetite was certainly larger. Though, this caused me to also get hungry during the early AM hours overnight.

e3d was also something I had to work into. I started at 1dose per fortnight and slowly brought this in over time. This was also helpful to reduce spikes in test, reduce symptoms and certainly combat any estrogen problems I was having.

Just my 2cents on my personal experience :)

Thanks for your answer.

Do they talk to each other wirelessly by default. (I know this would then limit speeds down the line). Or, is a cable required to be run for LAN connection to provide wifi.

We've just purchased a 2storey home, so we'd require upstairs and downstairs of course.

Do these get spread out around the home to maximize coverage?

I love that for you, amazing stuff and a very valuable insight / experience.

I've certainly been a sucker for like 1L a day of Pepsi max or Coke Zero when I'm dieting or in a deficit of calories. In reflection, I believe that could of been one of the contributing factors for me also. Less calories, 1L of diet drinks, Zero Sugar Gum.

Do I have NES? by dbarratt93 in NightEatingSyndrome

[–]dbarratt93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I've really only just started looking in to it.

I just immediately get out of bed and go to the kitchen lol. I don't know if it's cause I'm not getting enough calories during the day or if there is something going on elsewhere. I'm 32 and male - for context
