Gym And Supplement Discussion

"possibly attributing"

I think the sleep pattern issue is definitely the supp, i think the aggression is just being so f**king tired and just worn the f**k out (and possibly amplified by the supp?) Work/home etc has been mad busy and then weekends roll around and I spent 12hrs doing shit I hate doing and while I had success, it was a hard slog, stuffed today so it may just be stress related.

As for low test levels, it shouldn't be an issue by now, if you're referring back to my comments from when Ella was born and being too emotional, that shit is supposed to stop around the 1yr old mark, she's 19mths old now. Granted I might just be a huge pussy though.

Anyway, just sharing what I'm seeing. Really should have had a blood test done before and after.

Yeah, I think I read somewhere that you had low levels, that's probably it.

I've used it before, Hard to say as to whether it did what it's meant to do with myself as there are too many other variables and I've made progression without it just as much.

I was wondering if I did because since having Ella my emotional responses are much worse/amplified than before and I was going heavily backwards in training - but sleep is a big factor in both of those as well plus months of sickness etc - having a kid is not conducive to staying fit and healthy.

Tiredness alone will give you irritability

Strong correlation with intolerance for everyday grievances and all it takes is a big one to come along and make you lose your shit

[No Crust Racing]

I'd say this is likely the key.

Star picket was thrown across the yard upon extraction, neighbor came over for a laugh as I sucked in air and regained some composure.

Well Friday's gym session went surprisingly well, added a bit of weight to everything and got it all out, but that could be reintroducing creatine or having more protien or having dropped reps and adding weight for stimulus etc.

2 things I am finding and possibly attributing to the DAA is that my sleep patterns are bad, i am now dropping the dose and only having it in the morning and that when annoyed I seem to get angry, quite angry for me. I had to remove a star picket on the weekend and almost lost my shit because I couldn't get it out. Grabbed my sledge hammer and beat the shit out of it (got it out though) and managed to damage the garden bed also. I haven't raged like that for a while. Might be unrelated as I've been very busy/tired etc but still something to note.

DAA does nothing. Simple test for anything claiming to boost performance. Is it banned to use in sporting comps? No = waste of money.

Doesn't boost hormone levels , if it did significantly then it would be banned. placebo effect only. If you really want elevated hormone levels then go on roids. Anything claiming to be able to give the same or similar effects to roids would ,if it actually worked, give you the same negative complications and require the same management.

Stop wasting your money.

Fair enough Rev, for $10 I'm willing to see out the pack.

I can say without doubt that it has affected my ability to get to sleep/stay asleep and I'm not getting the 3:30itis I did have. Does that mean anything to do with Testosterone? No idea, but it's a very noticeable difference.

Sleep and stuff.

Plasma TV are the worst from what I am told, but any bright thing be it TV or other bright screens will screw with your melatonin.

Turn off and tune out at least 2 hours before bed.

Don't have a big meal before bed.

Swap out your high wattage globes around the house where you relax, low wattage in the loo as well, it only takes a short burst of bright light to put you into day mode.

No TV or computers in your bed rooms, the bed room is a place for sleep and the only entertainment should be sexy time.

Another good thing with this is you end up talking to and interacting with your family members instead of being a zombie staring at a screen which is another health benefit.

Remember the old adage of "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise".

I feel sorry for shift workers that constantly work between 10pm and 6am , that is the most unnatural and unhealthy way to live.

Me, I wakeup at least twice a night for a piss (no I don't have prostate cancer), I'm old and drink a shit tin of water.

[Birds]

You might have diabetes

Tin also isn't the best for storing water, let alone a used tin

[The Bogan]

It might be a tumour, LOL

just received my order of NO3X pre workout and some creatine. Have three weeks off over Christmas, so hoping to use that time to make some progress.

What flavour NO3X did you get?

I'm loving the watermelon atm, apple/raspberry was my previous favourite

[No Crust Racing]

Sleep pattern getting better as I lower the DAA amount.

See how I go tonight as I skipped Monday due to massive weekend on the tools (I even had a really hot bath on Sunday night to hepl and I never have baths...)

I went pineapple/orange, hoping that it may be the more subtle one of the lot.

Quick delivery. Ordered it on Tuesday and they tried to deliver yesterday. Pick it up today

[Trozzle]

I liked pineapple/orange. Tasted a bit much like chemicals, but I was having a double scoop and diluted with less water, so was ridiculously strong. Definitely noticed positive effects from it, though like most PWOs/stims lately, it upsets ze guts a little. Bloat like crazy, feel like I've just consumed a banquet haha

[PWND]

I will give you my verdict tomorrow morning. Will give it a crack

[Trozzle]

Bloating side will just be my shitty digestive system. I think it *may* be the creatine pulling too much water through into my guts lol.

But yeah, I definitely noticed more energy, focus, strength, etc from it. If I didn't get the sides I spoke of, and it wasn't bad to use a PWO all the time....I'd use it every session haha

[Dani Boi]

I bought the small pouch of DAA from BN in my last order. Used it for 4 weeks straight with 3g daily. No effects at all so I don't use it anymore.

Protein Powder recipes (desserts, snack food blah blah blah). Good snacks to take to the office.

No sleep pattern changes? As it's been quite apparent for me.

[Dani Boi]

Nope, still sleep like a log. Too many real life factors that contribute to sleep problems, but if you are noticing that DAA is perhaps causing you the problems, then best you lay off it.

[No Crust Racing]

I want to see if I get any "gainz" first.

Hard to know for sure as I added creatine back in also.
