Sounds great man. Not surprised on how you are feeling with the test dose. Even though most would consider it low, it is still double what a TRT dose would be. Looking forward to the updates!
Hey bros. It's been a while and I missed chatting with you.While I was not active for the last couple months, I have checked in time to time and caught up. Not much has changed around here, which is nice to know there are still a few constants in this crazy world.
So here is my deal. If I were younger with fewer issues, I would probably post a lot more, but I am at the stage in life that I know my body and sometimes I just don't want to hear everyone's opinion before I gather accurate first hand data. That is what I have been doing to a degree. Now I am ready to hear opinions, should you want to throw them down!
A couple things.
First off...if you recall a blood test in November my liver enzymes were elevated and I was convinced it was because either the SARMS were liver toxic or because I did not use N2Gaurd. Upon learning about the elevated results I started using a regime of organ support sups and expected the levels to drop. Unfortunately, they did not. I got another blood test in January and they were higher and the only thing I was taking for the past month was my TRT(yes I started it and it is awesome) and GW 501516.
My doc scheduled a liver ultrasound and I was diagnosed with "MILD" fatty liver. I am heading to a specialist next week to discuss at length because here are the causes of a fatty liver:
obesity
diabetes
high cholesterol
high trigluycerides
Of which I have never had one! Not one. I asked my family doc if the supplements could cause it and he said without question no.
I am baffled.
In other news, I am pretty sure I tore my right meniscus for a second time. Unfortunately, I did not do it training or doing anything cool. Instead I hyper flexed it while ripping out a bathroom floor!
Spent the last month in PT 3x/week trying to avoid surgery. It ain't working well, so I am heading in next week for an MRI and prob surgery within the next month.
This will be my third knee surgery, so I know what to expect...to a degree. My last was 4 years ago and recovery time increases with age, so I guess we shall see.
I have not looked anything because all my efforts have been on maintaining what I have and attending to my injury.
Basically, plugging leaks in the damn.
That's all I got boys.
I hope everyone is well! Looking forward to catching up.

Sarms4Sale and Umbrella Labs
My liver was perfectly fine in March 2022. I started my first Sarms cycle (100% Sarms4Sale) early May 2022 and wrapped it up in August. I started a second cycle in October, but never fully launched it because 2 weeks in I got my first set of test results indicating elevated enzymes.
A few more thoughts:
I do not drink. Ever. I have been sober for 14 years. Not a drop, so my liver issue is technically classified as a "non alcoholic fatty liver" (NAFLD)
Also, I neglected to add in one additional potential cause for NAFLD
obesity
diabetes
high cholesterol
high trigluycerides
POOR DIET
So as far as poor diet goes, here's the deal. I am 49 years old. For 45 of those 49 years I ate clean as a whistle...basically the Mediterranean diet. I am Italian, so olive oil is in my freakin blood, little sugar, clean protein (usually venison because I am a die hard big game hunter) and lots of veggies including a salad 5x per week.
However, about 4 years ago I went on KETO diet for about 18 months straight. Stayed very lean and had a ton of energy. Most of it was "clean KETO", but I definitely ate bacon and other saturated fats more than I never did previously.
After 18 months I became uncomfortable with it long term and decided to stop and return to my Mediterranean roots. However, I will admit, I intermittently ate more saturated fats for the past 2 years than I had previously, but it was not like I was eating fast food multiple times per week or bacon every day.
I am not cut from that cloth like many of you. If I eat like shit, I feel like shit, so I choose to eat clean.
Despite the slight increase in saturated fats in my diet the last two years, I just cannot believe I could develop a fatty liver as a result. Especially after eating clean my entire life.
This is why I am going to see a liver specialist. I have to nip this shit in the bud right now before it becomes an issue. Luckily I caught it early and the liver is resilient if you treat it well.
If anyone has experience with something similar, please let me know.
Thanks!
