Approved Log My Training Log - Another old man trying to live life as a young man

Anyway as you can tell, I'm now back, and what should be a training day isn't. Completely forgot I had to go to the pathology clinic and pick up this little ***y handbag. 24hrs of blood pressure monitoring. Seriously looking forward to getting back in the gym on Wednesday.

Finished the anavar on Friday, back to 200mg a week now, getting all in order for blood work in a month.

Hope you all had a good long weekend.

Haven’t jumped on the forum in a bit, just catching up on your posts now. Saw you had a few hiccups there bro, hope things are on the mend and you're feeling better.

Thanks @shrekmode yep hitting the mid 40s hard. Last 9 months I discovered I had been having issues with high blood pressure, borderline high chlorestrol, both genetic. Found out last week my foot 'injury' is actually bursitits and arthritis with no cartilage remaining, and off on Friday to have another BCC cut out my head.

Good news is that I can still train around the foot, I was just worried it was fractured so didn't want to train on it if I felt pain. I now know I can and it'll just hurt a bit. Also I'm now on Telmisartan which is almost a wonder drug so pleased with that for when on cycles, I was having another ABPM test as the Dr thinks I should run higher doses.

Interesting, was looking at my weight since coming off Anavar and dropping my test from 300 to 200mg a week. The two weeks after stopping I haven't been training due to holidays, bad timing. But I've lost 1.8kg, I really didn't feel I had that much water, guess not training also meant I had lower glycogen demand. But wasn't expecting to lose almost 2kg!

Telmisartan is good, keeps BP in check and has metabolic perks, so it’s a smart move especially on cycle. Just make sure you’re watching kidney markers and lipids every few months. With coming off var and dropping test would definitely drop some water and glycogen. Especially with no training in the mix. Even if you didn’t feel watery, Anavar keeps you looking dry but still holds intracellular water and fullness. No training = no glycogen turnover = deflate a bit. That 1.8kg is mostly water and carbs, not muscle. Once you're back in the gym and carbs are up, you’ll fill out again quick.
