What are you lifting today

[Anabisi]

I had to laugh your my guy…im 45 just turned …and I’m still going but added calisthenics as the gains seem to stick longer

 

[John]

I know exactly where your coming from @JB_rD81 up and down up and down, my doc has recently tried a different med, I believe also it’s a off label use, I know a few other veterans on it as a mood stabilizer, gabapentin, I was using depakote but about 5 weeks in, I had the tremors bad in my hands, and other body parts, the gaba has been helpin a bit, slowly upping dose every 4 weeks

 

[John]

Ha ha, down sizing to 235, fuck you @Dirtnasty I’m trying to “upsize” to 205

 

[John]

Can I ask what your using, or have used in the past @JB_rD81

 

[JB_rD81]

@Bigmurph and @Poppy, thank you for the concern… it’s good to have a community of people so supportive of one another.

@John, bupropion XL @ 300 mg/day. My doctor is very Leary of adding anything else or changing meds… I’ve talked to him a few times about my issues, he knows what I do when it comes to AAS, and I’ve had discussions with him about my bouts with anxiety and panic attacks. The anxiety and panic attacks don’t happen very often, but when the anxiety starts to build it’s almost like there’s no stopping it. I get high, that helps and sometimes it allows me to get away long enough for the anxiety to curtail, others it’s almost like it just builds up and nothing will get rid of it, that’s when the panic attacks start and I’ve got to hide from everyone and everything.

@JB_rD81

No disrespect intended whatsoever…

Do you think that maybe you’re asking too much of your body at this stage in your life?

 

[JB_rD81]

I’m aiming for “most yoked grandpa”

I just saw this, I smell competition @Poppy, I’m a grandpa…

 

[Poppy]

Haha yeah I know. I read it in one of your posts. That’s good stuff.

I can tell you that you’ve already won!!! Hahaha

My new category is most yoked hairiest grandpa!

 

[JB_rD81]

I’m not sure I’ve already won, you’ve got 18 or 19 years on me and look pretty damn good for your age! And yes, I could very well be asking too much of my body at this point, it’s not an easy pill to swallow

 

[Poppy]

it’s not an easy pill to swallow

It’s a tough one brother. I’ve been choking on it for a while…at leadt 10 years now.

Just don’t do irreversible damage to your body.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Brother I could have posted the same exact thing the way you describe your anxiety.

 

[herrubermensch]

Amazing how many of us have such similar issues, maladies, struggles. It really does help me not feel alone.

 

[Poppy]

Very true brother

 

[Bigmurph6]

A group of like minded individuals for sure

This is the strength of ugmuscle

 

[John]

Everything you said, I 100% feel like, luckily my boss is extremely understanding, I showed my wife what you said.

 

[John]

@JB_rD81 Yes the weed helps a lot,so does the klonopin,their both always with me.

 

[Poppy]

You guys have a better handle on it than I did…alcohol and go fast powder was my choice of self medication and they drug me down deep.

 

[Dirtnasty]

So yiur name should be coco not poppy hahah I too share that past time

 

[Poppy]

Blahahaha i hear ya.

Yeah i know. I remember your posts. This is going to sound real stupid but my problem with the go fast was I could afford a bunch of it without sacrificing anything. I get sick now just thinking about it.

 

[Poppy]

Oh and at the time i loved it
