My weight is creeping up. I’ve added creatine, but I think most of it is that I’ve started eating breakfast. I switched from injectable test to oral (Jatenzo), and I have to take it with food twice a day. My strength is definitely going up as the weight comes on, but I need to figure something out soon.

I will be curious to hear your thought on the switch from injectable to oral. Do you not like needles or is it for another reason?
I was considering doing the same, for possibly less side effects in regard to hematocrit.
I didn’t even know Jatenzo was a thing until my doctor offered it. I didn’t mind needles, but I’ve been injecting for 15 years. If I could avoid doing it for a couple more decades, I thought I’d give it a go.
I can’t really tell any difference. Sex drive may be a little less than it was, but I was injecting more than I was supposed to be so it’s hard to really know why that is. I’m feeling good in the gym, but I also added creatine recently. I’m on week 5 of Jatenzo. After about 3 more weeks I’m going to have blood work done and see what’s happening.

Gotcha. I will be interested to see your thought after you get your blood work back.
Good to hear you are feeling about the same. Sounds like a mostly smooth transition. That’s a win.

Shoulder I had surgery on a few years ago didn’t feel great doing the shoulder press. I think it was the different angle than I normally use for overhead pressing. Skipped legs. I’m still crippled from Tuesday. Just spent a lot of time stretching.

I’m in Vegas for a few days. Needed a tension breaker and I have a lot of hotel and Southwest points from work. I probably won’t drink at all, but I bought me a mess of gummies. I want to get giggly for a couple of days.

Gummies have not made me giggly, but man they mess with my perception of time. So different than alcohol.

Couldn’t get my back and legs loose this morning, so didn’t really do legs. Weight is back where it was Sunday when I left for Vegas, so that makes me happy.

Ate less yesterday than I have been and gained 1.4lbs. I really wish I was mentally strong enough to only weigh once a week. The day to day fluctuations drive me crazy. I am getting stronger on all of my lifts, which makes me happy. Been on the Jatenza 8 weeks and I’m getting bloodwork this afternoon to see how it’s going.

Shoulder is still feeling very iffy. I have ordered some BPC-157 that I’m gonna inject into it to see if that helps. Legs still really sore from Tuesday, so I just stretched a lot between sets. Right now I plan on getting up and going to do legs in the morning. We’ll see how that goes.
