Hey!
Been a while since i was active on the board. Life got in the way and health too.
I had to chose between my job and trainning, since i needed to pay my bills, i had to keep working.
Working and managing all the little stuff around the house and my rental properties was more than enough.
So to make a short story, i was able to get my TRT script in June but since that time i wasn't really able to train due to fatigue, weakness and pain.
My body didn't seems to like the normal testosterone of a normal human being, that's what i first tought but now i think we may have found why sadly.
Some may remember in my last log i had higher CK level than normal and i struggled to get my strength number up and wasn't able to put size as i should have, like in the past.
When i came down to normal Test level after my last cycle, i really started to have problem with strength, endurance, recovery and mostly i was easely out of breath. Doing normal thing would drain me out. So i had to stop training because i couldn't recover enough to perform at work and couldn't barely finish my last days of work during the week.
Between june and december i wasn't really able to train, even trying 20-30min of eleptical before going to work would let me regret it during the 2-3 first hours of work.
I had a muscular biopsy done at the beginning of october and just got my result friday.
Again i won at the illness loterry, when i tought T1D was enough for me i was wrong, i now have a new fight in my life, they told me i have Pompe disease (LOPD).
This log will only be there so i can keep track of my progress or degress, i still don't know.
Mostly to keep me motivate also.
A lot to learn in this new life journey.
What i know right know is that i'll need to keep to train so i'll maintain a minimum of life quality and slow progression, also need to work around a nutrition that could help me.
Going to meet a new doctor at the begining of january to learn more about my situation.
So right now i'm really not where i would like to be, my physique isn't at the best at all since my nutrition went shit and without training it's even worst.
So it's now time to be back at it and kick my ass to preserve my health the best i can even if it 10x time harder than before.
Maybe this log will help someone one day.
Current weight is around 212lbs in the morning but a lot more fat than a year ago at the same weight.
Strength is garbage compare to last year.
One good thing is i still have a decent amount of muscle mass.
Goal will be getting leaner and healthier.
Still don't know if higher than maintenance level of testosterone would be benefical, but nothing that can hurt me will be used, a lot of research need to be done.
I'm currently running more than my TRT (340mg) and feel better and can train now even if it's not a lot.
Gonna put picture tomorow even if i'm far from proud but needed to progress i think.
Some training details also will be added.
Won't be the typical AAS log but here is the only forum i'm on to talk about training.
Little detail about Pompe desease (google it for more) :
Pompe disease happens when your body can't make a protein that breaks down a complex sugar, called glycogen, for energy. Too much sugar builds up and damages your muscles and organs.
Pompe disease causes muscle weakness and trouble breathing. It mostly affects the liver, heart, and muscles. You might hear Pompe disease called by other names such as GAA deficiency or type II glycogen storage disease (GSD).

I’m sorry to hear about all this. I hope things start looking up. Missed ya around the message boards.
