Changed up my deadlift accessories and my shoulder day and felt like a good thing. Felt like I really hit some things. Yesterday went in on about a 16 hour fast planning to do an arm day but had to leave for work after 30 minutes of cardio. May have been a good thing as my whole upper back and rear delts were cramping up on the treadmill.
Continued the fast and went straight for squats today. Started with weight at 110, which was a kg up from 2 days before. How you can fast for 2 days and gain a kg is a mystery to me.
Anyway, felt good and did triples from 170 +10. Got my triple at 200, a first, and did a single at 210 to finish, a PR. Was absolutely toasted after the accessories. Got home and ate, rested, and weighed 108. Go figure. Taking a rest day tomorrow. I think I need to do something to stay hydrated better during my workouts. I’m sweating so damn much I’m probably losing all my electrolytes, but I don’t want to interrupt a fasted workout. Any ideas?

Sorry for the long absence. Been really depressed with how things are going both with this cycle and work. Short version is the weight just isn’t coming off this time. Frankly, I don’t know how it’s possible. Gain 1 kg during a 72 hour fast? Doesn’t make sense.
I think I may be getting some intestinal blockage due to fiber that is absorbing all the liquid I drink. Passed one a week or so ago and then started pissing normal. Lost 2 kg in a day. But then it seems to have just happened again. Barely pissing. When I do it can be dark brown and burn a bit. Did labs. Some blood and protein in my urine. Definitely in ketosis with my ketones at an 8 with less than .5 being normal. After those labs started another fast drinking as much water as I can. 48 hours in an my urine appears normal but I’m holding some in my legs too and getting softer around the gut. Gonna try a laxative tomorrow I think. After the first blockage I cut out any extra fiber, so what I got now is just from avocado, vegetables, and macadamia nuts. Shouldn’t be enough to cause this, but no real BM in about 4 days.
I will say I do look a little better, but strength is down, recovery seems slower than it should be, and my mood is shit. When I did very similar things before the weight just fell off.
please be more specific
what did you eat or drink during the 72 hours?
did you eat any foods? drink juices? etc be more detailed
and no gaining 1 kg is not normal 72 hours no food
you dont need a laxative, you need to drink more water, like a lot more water with some tea, herbal teas for digestion
if you use a laxative you'll gain more water weight after
sounds like digestive issues
you taking probiotics digestive enzymes?
trenbolone can cause kidney issues
Just water, sometimes with a little pink salt or apple cider vinegar, and black coffee. I took some of my supplements but nothing with any caloric value. Kept taking milk thistle, NAC, turmeric, etc., stopped fish oil, lecithin, CLA, MCT
I’ve read that the kidney issues caused by tren are usually BP related? If so my BP has been lower than normal. 107/70 this morning
Thanks everyone. So still no BM, but I feel that something is at least moving. Been having gas. Drank 4 liters of water at least yesterday and was up all night pissing. Ankles are edema free again and I lost about 2.5 kg in the last 24 hours. Head feels a little fuzzy but otherwise feel completely normal. Had a pretty good deadlift workout today as well. I did get a laxative and hoping it works it’s magic. Not necessarily worried about water weight temporarily as I’m concentrating on losing actual fat.
Remind me if you've roughage or veggies in the diet.
Well, blockage is gone. I suspect water will return to normal soon as well. My blood pressure was already on the low side. With that internal pressure gone, even after a large meal, BP was 98/70 tonight. I cut my BP meds in half now and will see where it’s at over the next few days.
Also picked up some magnesium today. Felt like it really made a difference during my workout.
I have an idea what’s been causing these digestive issues. I’ve hit this diet hard like before but wasn’t dropping weight the same. I just realized today that I hadn’t done a cheat meal since I started. Before I did one every sunday as my whole gym would go eat together every week. My ghrelin levels were probably tanked and my body was trying to hold on to everything it could. Can’t know for sure of course, but it makes sense as it is one of the only differences from before.
wait, you're taking blood pressure medication with low blood pressure? thats VERY dangerous
you shouldn't be on BP meds and I didnt see that in your log
whats the BP meds and whats the dose?
on the cheat meal side, sure you should do a cheat meal every sunday that will help you get your system back in order (if you're lean under 15% bodyfat)
My BP was slightly high and climbing when I started this cycle. I was on Telmisartan 40 mg when I started. When BP went up I raised it to 80. Back to 40 now. Just coming off a 72 hour fast probably made it lower than normal too. I’ll check it every day and see where it’s at.
I was at 19% when I started. I’m down about 7 kg, so probably around 15% now. The cheat meal will still be keto. Just more of it.
I plan to stay in ketosis, so no carbs. You know it can take weeks to get back into it after 15-20 grams of carbs?
That's incorrect, get some ketone strips and test your urine after 5 days under 20 grams of carbs with high fats, you'll see you're in ketosis
ketosis generally takes 3-4 days of high fat low protein low carbs
and you wont be fully kicked out of ketosis with 1 cheat meal, trust me I do a lot of keto diets
The system won't let me upload anything else. No idea why and I'm too tired to mess with it anymore tonight. My pics don't look all that different, but when I have a decent pump going the difference is pretty obvious. I was planning to get rid of all the hair once I got below 100 kg, but I really thought I would have been there awhile ago. The fat is slowly going away, but not the weight. My bloodwork is kinda all over the place. Liver isn't terrible and to be expected. Lipids aren't great, but again kinda expected on Tren, though last cycle it was within range at this point. Biggest concern for me is the troponin level. It's higher than it was last year when I actually had covid and my valves were leaking. No leakage now, but still a high troponin. Cardio is easy. Don't feel any problems. Adding the magnesium seemed to help things a lot. No idea why it would be high. E2 is high, but I read that's common with Tren as a false high. Free test is really high, but base test is barely out of range. That doesn't make sense to me at all.
I did get a new InBody scan today as well. Again, won't let me upload it, but it has me actually losing a little SMM to be at 52.7 right now, but it also has my PBF down to 13.7% I try to upload again later. Seeing a cardiologist tuesday about the troponin level. Not sure it will make any difference while being on the Tren, but really curious what's going on with that and my blood pressure. I actually brought my BP cuff to the gym today. Checked it a few times between sets and was the same as in the morning before my coffee and any exercise, 125/80.

Can’t post the video, but when I have a pump, can’t pinch much at all on me except for my mid section.
Ok Keto experts, just got back from the doctor and he noticed something. My blood ketone levels are about 16 times the normal range, which is to be expected after 3 months of keto and lots of MCT oil. However, my urine was negative for ketones! Does that make sense? I don’t have any urine strips to test it, but seems to me a lab should at least detect something. Any reason blood levels could be so high and urine still negative?
During my injection 2 nights ago I felt a twinge in my tongue and got a slight metallic taste for a few seconds. Very slight tren cough after a minute or so. Was gone just as quickly. Two days later though i still feel the spot in my tongue, like it got burnt or I bit it, and pain at the injection site. (Glute). This is a new one for me.
It happens sometimes, massage the site and keep going
and dont inject that site for 2 weeks
hows your diet going?
I’ve added in more protein and calories and seem to be losing fat faster, but still not overall weight. But, love handles are disappearing and that’s the ultimate goal I guess. Be interesting to see what happens if I keep on keto after the tren.
You're probably gaining muscle and losing bodyfat
you got updated pics?
I’ll try to get some when I actually have a pump going.
