Took the day off from everything. Woke up early to get bloodwork done. It’s been raining like crazy. So me n the wife met friends for breakfast. Went food shopping, then Home Depot and picked out flowers to plant in the front yard tomorrow with all the soil and needed tools... Went to the mother in laws to assist her with some things and now chilling inside watching some Walking Dead episodes... we got like 4 or 5 left I believe...

Tomorrow I’ll handle the chores, hit the gym and do everything I was suppose to do today lol. Good day with the wife though.

So much busy work today with food prep, chores and catching up... I didn’t even get to the flowers...

Hit the gym though and decided to repeat a routine I did not too long ago. Just a simple, little bit of this and that. Got some var and cialis to help me rise to the occasion and I was not disappointed. Felt good not to stress, I just had fun. Nice empty gym this morning. No waiting for anything!


Ready for the week. Let’s do this!

Great day today!! Perfect mixture of physical work with easy work mixed in... made for a perfect flow. Made for a fun day tbh. If I could work this type of day everyday, I’d love my job lol... multiple job sites, next to the ocean all day.. I got to use my brain to troubleshoot and figure out solutions... my muscles to execute said solutions... a couple hours of physical, few hours of mental, few hours of mindless easiness.. then drive time... had a good day with the boss. He was cool today. I was cool today. It was a good day. Put in a long day and it didn’t even feel like it.

Made it to the gym right in time for gym rush hour... definitely not my favorite time to go... my elbow and that tendon issue really interfered with my routine... but despite that I smashed PR’s on the stand up dumbbell curls. I was super stoked... had I not had that pain, I would’ve murdered them even more... it effected more of my forearms and tricep movements though... hammer curls were brutal... I will have to buy a regular single strap and go that route... the one I bought cradles the elbow and straps across the forearm and bicep.. it was more of a nuisance than a help. So I removed it... so I shortened the routine down. Had no real choice tbh.. I have plenty of rest time coming. I just need to not injure myself in the time between now and then.

This new bloodwork requisition lab I used is quick AF on some items... it’s weird because they don’t wait to send the whole report... they just keep updating the account as it all comes in.. I got blood drawn Saturday morning. Results started coming in Sunday morning... just waiting for the main items so I can post... but interesting findings on my wellness panel...

For the first time in my life I’m low on iron and the results point me in an anemic direction... very odd for me. I am still curious as to the main results of T E and P but, just the blood health section alone points to some of the possible causes of me feeling so tired lately... but I need to see the other results before I can lock and load solid theories and pathways to rectify... regardless I’m adding iron supplements for the next couple weeks to get that back up. I guess I haven’t been off EQ this long before... that EQ, for me, these results wouldn’t even exist. My mch is low.. which won’t do me any good if my bloods not carrying enough oxygen to my muscles... everything ties into the iron though... but I need the final pieces to know that’s it 100% and not just part of it...

I’ll post full report once everything comes in though.


Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to get to be by the ocean today. I forgot how much it had always been my refuge... my escape... for so many years... today I remembered. For that I’m grateful.

Hey, people that have anemia qualify for prescription oxymethelone or oxandrolone, a dr would still be hard pressed to prescribe it though. Lol. Try perfect Iron(more bio-available) Red meat would help but I don’t know if your diet permits? Anyhow anemia is a tough one to deal with(especially in males), keep me posted on that. Side note- I love when the gym is empty!!

I can definitely do red meats anytime before 3pm... anytime after makes for a bad wake up drowning in it...

Hopefully this simply passes over with simple supplements... never had the issue before. It’s actually always been the opposite... so definitely weird turn of events.

I just got blood done today for surgery pre-op... so I’ll see in a day or so if the numbers have changed since Saturday with just simple supplements. ;0)

Those values interest me though.. the mch is related to oxygen in the blood... but even though it’s low, my rbc is way high and over producing... would that, in theory, counter balance the low oxygen per cell, if I produce more cells than normal but just carrying less oxygen per?

Or maybe I don’t understand fully how it works lol... regardless adding EQ after surgery to trt dose should eliminate the issue all together.

The day was epic... the weather was a perfect mix of cool breeze, some humungous clouds, shining sun and just right temps... I just love looking towards the sun and closing my eyes and just kind of breath in and enjoy the warmth in my face... the fresh clean air... it was a bummer to have to go inside to work... But! Another solid day of some physical work mixed in with some inspections and easy work.. a few repair items and quite a bit of interactions with new clients... I feel right at home with this type of stuff for sure!

Got home, handled my blood draw for surgery doc, hit the gym for some chest after... Popped my pre-workout regiment and by the time I was warming up, it was kicking in... little agony behind the rear delt and that tendon. But I don’t go heavy on chest (yet) so I was able to deal with it and work through it. The pump seemed a bit more intense today. I was definitely laser focused on my movements. Keeping it slow and deliberate. I had to fight to get through the cables.. I reached muscle fatigue on a whole new level. Felt fantastic.

Hit up my shower, grabbed a snack and headed out for my well deserved and anticipated massage... man she gets it. Hands down the best therapist on the planet... I don’t even need to say what or where. She zeros in on all the trouble spots just by simply brushing past them... then she pounces and goes to work on destroying the issues... I’m literally foggy brained walking out of there and on a cloud of euphoria... when I’m running my own show again, I’ll be getting everyone due to be sitting at the negotiation table, massaged before hand... then I’ll slaughter them at the negotiations.. they’ll succumb to my every demand lol

Everything’s in on the bloodwork except free and total test... figures lol
Such a different experience getting items piece mailed to my email lol.. but their prices were spot on so I’ll deal with it...

Hope everyone had an amazing day today!

Apparently getting the transport of iron into the cell is the problem(it sounds weird but you can have high rbc and be anemic at the same time). I won’t bore with all that. EQ definitely increases red blood cell production and endurance in most people. I guess for some odd reason, your not getting the oxygen into those cells even though you have elevated rbc. Definitely update me on this topic.

Interesting actually... I’m going to do some reading... got my results back from the pre-op bloodwork and everything’s in range...

Now I wasn’t fasted, blood drawn at end of day after plenty of food n drink and I’ve been supplementing... I understand the body will fluctuate, but I didn’t expect such a dramatic improvement lol... good news is, all cleared to get my head cut open again ;0)

I’m still interested in reading up. This truly is uncharted territory for me and it truly amazes me the ability guys like you posted to learn this stuff, retain it and understand how it works... I feel it’ll take me a little longer to grasp. However, I will eventually grasp it. Just gotta keep chipping away at it ;0)
