@ChickenLittle @littlesleeper @MarkKO Thanks! Actually had a really good birthday. Spent Saturday in PDX eating at all the best thai places.
Breakfast
Post Lunch Dessert
Dinner
Breakfast was a full keto compliant. haha The ice cream is by the far the greatest ice cream in the world. You can only get it in Portland and LA. I can’t even describe how good it is. Dinner was by far, one of the best I’ve had. It was super packed, and we got sat in the corner of the bar, which was perfect. Felt like I was in Thailand. The picture is of one of the three entrees I had. It was a whole tilapia.
@robstein - Thanks for the great info! I’m going to proceed with keto through Thursday. Then start with: [quote=“robstein, post:201, topic:224841”]
170p, 40c, ~170f

Until I shed some more fat.
So, basically, keto on non training days. On training days, I’ll have an apple or orange around training. Probably around mid-march, if weight is coming off again, I’ll start adding toast or half cup of rice prior to workout.
Back to Birthday – I was given a good amount of money for my home gym. I’d really like to get an axle bar and a 55lb and 88lb KB. I priced it at Rogue, then was frustratingly disappointed by $175 in shipping. I’m sadly going to have to find a local shop that sells equipment.
@The_Myth – I’m not quite sure what to do RE: TRT and testing hormones. I have great insurance, but don’t have a GP. I’m wondering if I should go the private labs route and get a blood test myself, or try and go the GP route, as I should probably get one regardless. I don’t think I’m suffering a lot of the symptoms of Hypogonadism, but there are some symptoms that have made me wonder. I’d like to know for baseline purposes at least, that way when I’m 40 I have a comparison. Thoughts?
Morning weight: 222 (I’m not going to weigh myself for a week)
Morning workout:
Frankenstein holds - 2x60secs w/135lbs - basically holding the weight on my shoulders with arms out.
Strict Press 2/15sec hold at lockout - 2x8x105lbs
Hang Cleans - 3x3x135lbs
SGHP - 2x10x135lbs
Band Pull Aparts - lots
None of that was challenging, really just trying to get blood flowing and use up glycogen stores to make entering keto easier.
