Yep the whole food plant based diet has great health benefits. I just cannot see myself eating enough beans and tofu to meet protein requirements for muscle building lol. If I'm gonna eat every 2-3 hrs I'd rather drink 3 out of 5 meals or 5 out of 7 meals.

I def agree with you here. Problem is I'm mostly plant based, not for some moral issues, I do it for the health benefits. At the same time I'm aware of the need for the full aminos. I don't have confidence in plant protein powders on their own. Yes some are considered complete proteins, but how...

Cool thanks

Thank you! I hope it will help and encourage others too!

Give me an example of small changes so I'm understanding right...thanks again!

Breakfast typical : 1cup rolled oats uncooked soaked in soy or almond milk. 1/4 cup raw walnuts 1/4 cup blueberries 1 egg hardboiled 1 serving plant protein powder ( 20gms yeild) now using EAA powder instead. Lunch typical: 2 cliff bars (20gms protein total) 3 bananas Dinner typical: Could...

No TRT yet. Diet is still 3 meals/day. Clean, mostly plant based, need more protein, eggs, EAA. Increased calories in the last week. Increasing weight to the bars wanting to lower the reps. I want to do 5X5 again, compound movements to build strength perhaps every other day (3days) and isolation...

OK, dumb question. Do I post updates by just replying to my own posts?

OK a bit more recent background. About 4 yrs ago my friend Kent and I decided to do the old 5X5 routine, 3- 4 days/ wk. I'm bad at remembering how long we did this or that. I think we did that routine for 2yrs.(?) This I do know. We gained alot of strength back then. For whatever reason we went...

Details I forgot to add...OK, so TRT not started yet. Also the mostly plant based diet has been only the last 10yrs about.

Hi everyone. Markb here. Age 65 Weight 171 Bf unknown I weighed almost 300lbs in the unhealthy fat days in my 20's so I've never seen an ab lol. Started walking and lifting weights around 1990. In the early 2000's started using mostly test but added dbol, tren here and there. I had no...

Wow, that's way cool. Great for community. You guys run a tight ship.Look forward to logging. Glad to be back!

Indeed! Self TRT is what I'd like to do. So true that the doc's care only about numbers. It's sad too. Lots of guys suffering and don't find out for years that it's low T symptoms. I'm glad you guys are here and I appreciate the help very much!

Yep old lol. Last time "on" over 20yrs I think.

I was thinking TRT because of my age but I'm open to suggestions.

Have no cycle plan at this time. More like TRT. I can see my lowering stamina over the last few yrs. Had full blood work and physical all good. Only high SHBG. Still work out to stay in shape. Not on any meds.

I'm old lol. My thought was to stay on like replace therapy.

Noticed my stamina was lower compared to last summer and summer before. Went to my gp for labs. Total T was around 800, free T low normal range,, SHBG flagged high.. Of course they ignored that and said you're fine...cycle? My thoughts were to stay on and improve strength and stamina.

Prob 20 yrs.back

Solubilizer Yes. I'm 65. I was here prob 20 years ago?
