So Week 3 started Monday - with 1mg - i cracked out a 20 odd mile hike on Sunday with about 3k elevation - was kinda good but it did kinda hack me up. ontp this week - so i completed a weight check in (fasted) Into week 3 - ive been finding it easier to not eat more than normally do last week was a really high output week and i felt good at the time haha, today is a much needed rest day - onto the weight loss 21/09/2026 - 211 Pound starting (95.7 kg) 06/10/2026 - 206.8 Pound (93.8 kg) Mmm - im not sure if this is what im needing - but it does work for weight loss, my strength in the gym has gone down a little bit, think thats due to me not eating so much - but it could of also been down to the huge hike i did Sunday and then hit the gym Monday 🤣 Last night i had a kinda sicky feeling and woke up, wasnt sick thou - it passed after a while and i managed to go back to sleep and then i felt spot on when i woke. Ive also been monitoring my Glucose - this is really stable and have seen no spikes - maybe thats due to being low Carb LOL!! - i have the machine on hand as a just in case now. Today ive also noticed really achy legs - i normally dont suffer with DOMS or ache and can continue to move, but today its been uncomfortable - again maybe due to the Hike. Ive noticed ive been peeing a lot more now as well - it did go away at one point and now its back - ive cut back on electrolytes but think i need to up them if anything . Overall all this is manageable and i just think i needed to rest my body - ill fill up on fuel today and see how tomorrow is.

Hi all, im looking for advice on pre/post workout/RT options to maximise muscle gains. Im a seasoned gym goer, i train fasted in the mornings 4 times pweek, and i follow a very low carb lifestyle. Just wondering if adding in a small amount of carbs around training would help. I dont have low energy or focus etc, just want to make the most of each session. TIA

As you all know, I said I would raise the group price for new members ( founders are locked) on Oct 1st. I thought keeping it at $40 would encourage more people to join, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Adding detailed content is extremely time-consuming. But I can't make myself produce the shit that everyone else doing this sort of thing seems happy with. Thoughts anyone?

So I thought I'd document what I'm up to as I've felt crap for many years overall, sometimes just a little niggle. This is the protocol from https://derekpruski.substack.com/p/energy-peptides-course-complete-mitochondrial?utm_source=publication-search Realistic expectations by phase: Week 2-4 (Post-FOX04): - Slight improvement in baseline energy - Reduced inflammation feeling - Foundation cleaned Week 6 (End of SS-31 phase): - 20-40% better mitochondrial function - Noticeably better workouts - Improved recovery Week 10 (End of MOTS-c addition): - This is the big jump - Metabolic flexibility restored - Energy dramatically more stable - Fasted training comfortable - 50-70% total improvement from baseline Week 14 (End of NAD+ addition): - Mental clarity peaked - Full optimization beginning - 70-85% total improvement from baseline Week 20 (Full optimization maintained): - Peak benefits - 85-95% total improvement from baseline - New normal established - Can maintain or adjust as needed
