There is no known upper limit for Vitamin D3 intake other than the sunburn one gets trying to make it with solar exposure.
25000IU doage daily results in no toxic reaction unless an extreme feeling of well-being is now considered toxic. I take 10000IU daily myself.
Hmmmmā¦ I thought taking too much over an extended period could cause hypercalcemia.
Too much being how much?
I have none of the outward symptoms of hypercalcemia. Canāt say about my blood serum calcium levels as I rarely ever see a doctor and that only when my wife nags me to distraction.
10000iu is the absolute highest recommended dosage. My dad was diagnosed with low d levels. They gave him 100000s and it made him sick. So I have done a little research about it.
If itās working for you thatās all that matters. But, too much of a good thing can still be too muchš

Realized I donāt care about biceps peak. Tweaked right lower back previous session so wasnāt sure I could squat today, but it went great. SQ not fast, but no rep was in doubt. Possibly too much volume too soon, but it was the best session since restarting (again). Stay at 135 for next OHP as last rep of last set almost stalled.
For those who remember him, Alpha (Brian Alsruhe) started his own strongman gym and is making videos of his competitors and training. Good dude.
Where you been hiding?
Cubicle land. My soul was sucked so hard that I lost the will to lift.
Iām better now.
Been a while Skid. Nice to see you back. Iām headed over to the Philippines for 4 months so wonāt be posting as much but Iāll be checking in.
Good on ya, Hel.
Enjoy!

Had to do hacks because the single SQ rack in the place was infested with bros. Had planned to do Front SQ. Twanged something in lower back on dips. Encouraging though since I couldnāt do 5 dips a month ago. Will add weight.
Back tweak has turned into repeating muscle spasms. Quite uncomfortable.
Good to see you Tony. Hope your back feels better. I watch Brian Alsruhe on YouTube all the time. Another guy I watch a lot is Alan Thrall. Heās trains with Brian on a couple videos.
It does this each time I start back lifting again. Good reason not to stop, really
I dig 'em both as well. Alphaās giant sets are insane. But for a reasonably big guy heās goddam explosive.
Iām on the Appalachian Trail in South Carolina at the Wasser Shelter. Did 15 miles today in steady cold rain.
Iāll need to start weight training again next week when I get back home.
This post inspired me to start after it again.
