Looking to turn some heads once again

Been choosing to socialize much more than exercise. A few years, a few too many adult beverages, a forgotten passion. Need to turn things around.

Here is the game plan for this HRT patient:
200mg Test E weekly (100mg over the norm for me)
500mcg CJC-1295 weekly (an alt to gh? we'll see)
.5mg MT-II E3D (love the stuff)
1mg finasteride ed (mpb )
.5mg Arimidex ed

Going to give this a go for the next couple months and re-evaluate then.
6' 195lbs

More pictures to come

A week later I am feeling great. On par with my workouts and diet. Up about 10lbs (bloat and water). Sleeping better than I have in awhile. Energy is also up. I suspect the CJC is attributing to both those. Will report more ASAP!

Not looking a shyt different in these progress pictures. But the reaction I got from people at a early thanksgiving deal I went to...got harassment from people feeling me up, etc (the sort of attn you hate...and made me quit working out in the beginning). It was positive attention...but I just perceive it as negative unfortunately. So I dont know what to think, have to tune it out.

Slowly my cognitive function is improving (from not drinking). I feel better and the difference in my endurance at the gym (without alcohol) is astonishing

Not overly strict on diet. I start my day with oats, protein shake, some fruit and maybe a bagel if I take a metformin beforehand.

I definitely am getting plenty of calories throughout the day, at least 5 meals (every couple hours). I have been meaning to put it all into fitday.com. I will try and work on that.

Tonight I will take my one month progress pic. Pretty happy with my results thus far. Feel great. Thanks a lot for the encouragement!!!

One month in the gym. I feel fuller...well words can hardly describe how much better I feel physically in the gym than this before pic! Cant believe the changes November brought.

Got to be some decent, user friendly combination of muscle memory, CJC1295, melanotan (dont really think I need to continue...happy with my skin tone at the moment) workin for me here.

Just thought I would share. Hope to make it through the holidays this year and continue getting results!

VERY nice!

What's CJC1295?



Wondering where to start? Confused? This will get you started.

Here is some of the current info out of gh secretalogues by dat: Dat's - CJC-1295 & GHRP-6 (Basic Guides)

So far I can attribute some vivid dreams to CJC-1295, my skin looks great, my hair is growing nicely (fingernails, etc). All things in the past I remember from using low doses of gh. Certainly becoming a believer in this peptide. Peptides are the future imho...not sure what all is out there on the market or what is to come, but metachems.com is one example in the market which has served me well thus far. I should post a picture with my natural skin tone as well. So safe to say I am a happy camper with this CJC and melanotan in my corner. Sure I wish i just had better genetics and more drive...but got to find that balance i life right???

Oh, yeah, I read about that stuff.

The melanotan, I'm very pale - Celtic origin. What would it do for me?

What great timing, just posted what it did for me

PM me anytime if you want to discuss melanotan. Been a user for a while now. It has given me freedoms I never thought possible. To be able to go to the lake, the beach, play golf without sorry (no sunscreen necessary)...just to live like those that can enjoy the sunlight. Unreal aphrodisiac. With no insecurities in regards to pale skin I found myself dating latinas, red heads, other fair skinned...just unreal how it really effected me personally. I should write a book (or at least an article)

Wow.

I'm a virtual prisoner to the indoors during the summertime. I hate sunblock and I've already had actinic keratosis - I stay away from 100 watt bulbs now!

So you no longer burn?

Melanotan (one) is actually intended to be used for Polymorphous Light Eruption (PMLE) and Actinic Keratosis (AK). Not to say they are anywhere close to getting this peptide approved, accessible or actually functional...but there is hope.

But yes, if I have prepared my skin in such a way (combination of progressive melanotan use and gradual moderate uv rays in the equation) I do not even get a burn. I can tan. The most memorable life changing story that I will never forget is being on yacht for some weekend (4th of july maybe) and being able to party in the sun being irresponsible (boozin, little sunblock...all the bad stuff)...not only not suffering from a nasty burn, but TANNING. was unreal for me.

Okay. I'm in.

I've been damn-near hospitalized with sunburns. I haven't had a tan on my skin in over twenty years.

Thanks all, the encouragement really means something. Still have been away from the booze and wow the difference is unreal when it comes to the gym. The CJC is actually a research product and is not illegal, no worries

lol, thanks so much. Maybe I meant my attempt was to not turn heads not strictly at the bar. A lack of maturity I suppose, but I love it.

Not really training with much drive, but trying to just stay diligent and eat better. Been getting some negative attention from people that see me (this just after a month) and grope me and make comments. All of that generally irritates me and drives me to alcohol. I am at 210 lbs on an empty stomach now and think I may want to stay at this weight and work on my health in general. Start focusing more on cardio, flexibility and maybe even some bjj once again

Here is week by week this first month back in the gym:

Have been slacking when it comes to cardio the past couple weeks. Really just fixated on my strength and endurance gains in the gym (anaerobically speaking I suppose). Been six weeks removed from alcohol. Sorta forgot what it felt like to have the desire to have a spotter in the gym for particular workouts. Dont have a workout partner and havent for years. May be about that time again

Recently have had a few good workouts with an old buddy who I used to lift with in college. Wow has it felt good. Been ages since I have put 100lb dumbbells overhead for shoulder presses. Today I was able to do some reps with 315 on flat barbell bench. And the other day i was comfortably dead lifting/squatting three plates.

On one hand I am perfectly satisfied, on the other...what a high this is. Need to update and take some more pics. Thanks again for those who have pm'd words of encouragement. Hope to return the favor sometime soon!

Quick update, just snapped this tonight. With the holidays and some end of the year business chaos...been away from the gym. A welcome break, but unwelcome stress as I am sure most here can relate to.

All in all, still eating whatever whenever and going about my life. I also intend on being the DD tomorrow evening (NYE). 2009 is going to be good

So in roughly two months I guess I can dell the most different in my upper pecs and delts. Think I can see some definition and size...help me out here. Tell my ass to get serious and diet!

Legs have long been a weakness as I have had a couple knee surgeries. I feel my legs match my upper body well, but could use more size. Have found comfort and confidence in my squats and deads...feel my form is good and can continue adding the plates. Concerns with my ACL always weigh the most in my head. Can rep 315 on squats, but it isnt a cake walk. Leg day is what I mentally and physically prep the most for. Want to continue that in 2009
