Hello all
43 yr old dad of 2 and husband here.
Fighting the constant battle to find the balance between family life, work, training, sleeping, eating and keeping a demanding wife happy.

Ectomorph
New to MG but no newbie to the scene, started playing with roids about 5 years ago and was a member on another forum like this one that unfortunately went downhill a bit. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about!
So, I have done 3 cycles, trying to find my way. All with bloods before during and after, so I have seen the patterns in my reaction to the substances and how I recover.
The first was the standard test cycle, then a drol/test and my last was a dbol/test.
The first was ok, just finding my feet but second two gave good results.
I’m thinking about another Dbol test and have researched a dbol, deca, test cycle. Have brought the PCT required (dex,caber, HGC, nolva, litho and clo etc but haven’t brought the actual aas as yet.
I want to check my bloods and tune my diet again before deciding what to do.
That’s where I’m hoping to find help here…..
I’m a seriously hard gainer. People can’t believe how much I eat, I’m on around 6000 calories a day of real food and only tend to use shakes as a top up or extra. It’s hard work and I have worked hard to stretch my stomach to take it, not sure if I can fit more in.
No BCAA or pre-training caffeine and my body just can’t handle creatine unfortunately. It makes me feel shit on many levels.
I sup on Vit D/K2, B12 and Canabis oil to keep my old joints and rheumatism in check.
I also take organic raw pressed aloevera (tastes like shit) for energy and digestive help, and generic digestive enzymes to make up for the bacterial cultures that seem to be missing in my stomach.
On top of that I am intolerant to all cereal and grains. Wheat obviously and also rye, and oats.I can handle 40g of oats a day max and some sourdough bread a few times a week,
a pasta dish once a week perhaps.
I also react to peanuts and cashews. But I can handle almonds no problem I tend to eat a 25 gram mix of pine nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds every day with a little salad.
My cholesterol readings are always high in my blood test because of the high amounts of fat and meat I eat to get the calories I need, but I make sure I drink 5 to 6 litres of water a day to keep my system flushed.
I’m also diagnosed as being sugar sensitive or pre diabetic. I don’t take any medicine for this but instead have trained myself to keep my blood sugar levels stable through the food I eat. Basically if I eat too much sugar my body reacts with an excessive insulin hit which induces diabetic and low blood sugar like symptoms. However I have a fairly good handle on all this.
As far as training goes I have been hanging around gyms as long as I can remember and have read books, articles and talked with PT’s and physiotherapists, plus my own experience, so I know what I’m doing.
Right now things look like this
Intense cardio and core training every Monday for an hour at fight club.
Then in the following varying days in the week
One session legs,
One session push,
One session pull
with stomach and calves blended in the mix
Other than that I have a manual job where I walk around with tools and equipment all day so I burn some serious calories there
So that’s the basics about me.
If anyone can help with structuring a diet, taking into account my considerations, I would appreciate it J
