@jdwaid I have no experience with peptides but form what I hear from friends of mine they are hit and miss. Even with TRT you will not feel a big difference in recovery as the dosage is very conservative. Now there are TRT clinics that subscribe 200mgrs of test per week but that is not a small dosage. That is a small cycle and yes you will feel that. The best advice I can.give you is solid nutrition, good sleep, creatine and an adequate amount of protein per day in the range of 1 gram per pound of lean body mass.

@yannis all good advice and the exercise and diet protocol has been my regimen for many years now. In the US there have been a lot of changes to wellness industry and my algorithm is overloaded with all things TRT, peptides, wellness optimization, etc. I am all about doing what I can to stay feeling young but TRT has never been on my radar. The fact peptides return to baseline when you stop them got me curious. I appreciate what you’ve heard about them being hit or miss. It’s a costly investment and I wouldn’t want to “miss.”

a current study shows that walking (5001-7500 steps per day) significantly reduces tau-protein accumulation in the brain associated with slower cognitive decline

I've been getting back into rock climbing lately, and currently I continue working on my longterm goal of an unassisted one arm pull-up.

So I did a thing in January.
I started training again on my rowing machine a couple of years ago, mainly driven by the goal of weight loss. Tried to be consistent, but fell into old habits last winter.
Picked it up stronger than before after the summer holidays, with the goal of actually being competitive again.
Currently taking part in a competition, and was also fueled be a virtual challenge on the Concept 2 app. Trained every single day in January, with greatly improved times. Finished off with a half marathon yesterday.
Will take it slower in February, but I am thinking about stepping up from my usual 10k to a 15k session.

@tody Congrats and keep it going!

[tody]

thanks guys. current plan is to keep it at 20-25 sessions per month, at extended duration. with 15k i'm around the 1 hour mark. weight loss goal is 3-4 more kilos, to get just under 90kg.
