Good Progress! Yeah you must start the Accutane as fast as possible. When you little prone to Acne, I can tell you that on Masteron you will Break out. You must have a good dose in and wait till its gone. Than start the Masteron. But Liver on 60 mg is Little harsh so better no Orals. You know it better than me i think. When down the other 5 kg, you will see the Masteron shine. But better do a Reverse Diet after cutting.

im around 3-4 weeks on accutane already. mast made my bacne bad last year. i hipe that with accutane it wont happen again.
tho i dont like combating side effects of drug i wanna take with different drug...
will see, hopefully it will help.

im but affraid of sides from 60mg accutane.
liver on 40 was clean, you can check bloodwork. im not affraid of that. var didnt touch my liver either, even after heavy use. everything was low.

after cut i plan to refill for one weekend, mid march i have booked trip to wellness hotel with my girl. i plan to look full, lean, vascular and tanned there after that i will see if i need to push another 3-4 week block of diet or i can slowly reverse into growing.

that will be THE hard part i think. i wiill
keep tirz in so i hopefully wont binge and can keep eating clean or rather low fat stuff.
with this approach i could add some lean body mass without much fat gain. will see if i will be able to handle it.

I was diagnosed with CKD stage three a and the nephrologist put me on jardiance and all my kidney numbers have improved significantly, yes it does control glucose but it also helps the kidneys

I know this is kinda old, but I'm curious since my egfr is in the tank right now. I'm thinking the creatine supplementation is hurting it, and I am making an appointment with a nephrologist Monday. I have some jardiance, but haven't taken it yet because I was hoping the astragalus would bring it up. I went from a 63 eGFR to a 51 eGFR in 6 months, with my creatinine at 1.66. I was taking creatine, and stopped it 2 days before the test which wasn't enough time for it to clear. Astragalus at 4k mg did absolutely nothing for me. I'm hoping the nephrologist will give me a cystatin c test, but I'm not holding a ton of muscle right now, I'm about 205 but very lean. How much did the jardiance help? I'm debating on going ahead and starting it before I go to the nephrologist.

It’s helped tremendously, all my kidney numbers have improved, and continue to improve, Astagulus did absolutely nothing for me , and I tried large doses of different types of Astragulus , but Jardiance is a game changer imo, the nephrologist is the one who put me on the jardiance, now my pcp handles all my refills .

Thank you for your reply. If you don't mind, what was your starting egfr? What is it now?

 

[Ateam2023]

Thank you for your reply. If you don't mind, what was your starting egfr? What is it now?

If I remember correctly, it was somewhere around 57 and now I’m around 69 , when I first started the jardiance it shot up to 76 , that seemed to taper back down then it kind of leveled itself off my last test on 1/30/2026 was 69 with a creatinine of 1.26

small update

pain, suffering, sleepless night, more pain, mood is shit, training sucks. eeehm.

after refeed week i went back to rfl style cutting and its kind of weird. ive gained 2kg's, im bloated, abs are covered a bit/blurred, i feel heavy. i suspect high e2 from test increase. lot of definition is gone, i look fatter than 10 days ago...
i aromatize like a pig, 300/300 test/mast should be enough to have high e2 but i expected mast to help with sides... maybe its just better to lower e2.

i think i will wait few more days and retest e2. longer saturation time of D ester sucks in this case. sure, i could pop 2x10mg of aromasin for 2 weeks and see if i will feel better/worse, in worst case i will crash my e2 for while but have plenty of dbol/tne ready for it

aaanyway, training is still the same, diet is still the same, clen is back at 80mcg, accutane at 60mg... added var 4 weeks before my wellness weekend. god's candy <3

one thing ive noticed from mast is that libido exploded, even without kcals. im 24/7 at least half hard, i can fuck for 45min, have 5-10min break and go again. and again.

gf is not exactly happy about this situation, not gonna lie. mentally im not "in mood" all the time but physically i have almost painfull, random errections middle of the day.

added few photos from today, psuhday, i look worse than before imo. muscles still flat, im bloated and my face is puffy. also, i have no idea how to do at least basic poses, flex or make a photo.

 

[BabaJagga]

also, about compounds...

test is best. we all know it.

mast is... meh. for sure wont be using it for amy growth phase. rn its there for the veins and dryer look, will se what will happen in few weeks

var is great during cutting, other than that more test is better. cant run it long term (i wish i could)

nandrolone and other 19 nors like ment & tren are out of debate, for now and very possibly for future also. dont wanna mess with mental health, tren would be effective for cut but im scared and dont need it. ment is useless for me.

primo would be option since it seems like situation with raws is improving but price of 60-80€/vial is no go for me, also its lot of oil to pin and im kind of limited by 2-3ml per week of oil.

orals are no go. after recent bad experience with anadrol, im not gonna use them outside of cut (var) probably. maybe if there will be different goal and drug that i would benefit from

eq is... well dislike that long ass ester very much. 14 days halflife is no go. with doses all over, crashing e2, not enough e2 management, im not gonna pin something with 14 days halflife

BUUUT... there could be option
ive ordered boldenone cypionate from eu domestic lab. that could function as add on to high test and e2 control.

dont get me wrong, high test + enouch aromasin works and i may be stupid to try something else until i hit ceeling with enough test... but i wanna experiment.

cyp having halif life 5 days and test d 7 days, it could work. again, i aromatize like pig and i need strong e2 mamagement. lets say, if total anabolic load is 1000mg (nice and round number, 800/200 could work. thats exactly 3ml's of oil, 3x 1ml shot

will see, i have no idea how it would affect me. will see about that in future.

ment is useless for me.

Dont knock it until you try it. the mentals on MENT are great for me (also a rather high aromatizer, but I enjoy it to the point I NEEDED more) Libido might go even crazier though. But satisfaction/desire goes up as well. 1000%.

I might be wrong but those pictures look a lot better than some other recent ones of you, maybe its the abs/torso but something just looks more like a mens physique competitor.

And Mast is evil in regards to libido.
I think one of the reasons many people describe this "alpha" feeling on mast is a way to cope with the physical need to fuck to counteract the 24/7 half-mast they get from mast, plus the sexual thoughts that are kind of like the ones when you are in puberty and have not yet figured out about sexuality yet.

Tough to deal with, but it will likely go away with time as your body gets used to the androgenic stimulus from the Masteron.
Hope your girl doesn't get too upset with you until then.

As for the posing, set your phone down.
Posing will never be good if you have half your body semi relaxed just to hold a camera. Awkward and messes up your whole flow. Timed photos are ideal, or take a video and screenshot your best poses/frames (and then delete video to save storage space)

nah man, i have "problem" to control aromatization from regular test, dont wanna dabble with ment. lot of potential issues and i dont belive that it can be so much better than test.
for growth, food and trainin will be main anchors ...

idk, its honestly weird. i do progress pics cause its rollercoster in head sometimes heh i will continue to cut and will see where i will end up.

i was thinkin about buyin separate big mirror into one room, with some flashlight on wall and maybe tripod. so i can at least try.
issue is, everything is white in here, every room. i will look into that

libido is fun but it can be too much. mentally i feel bit different, same as first time. cant properly describe that what it is exactly, maybe more good aggression in life. something like that, mild, in the background.

You look better than before dude, haven’t seen your arms looking that good in the past, also you’re getting nicely lean. You can’t be in a deficit and full unless you manipulate things temporarily, don’t stress it too much.

thanks man. its hard to tell sometimes... people told me the same but i guess i cant see it properly....

good thing is that veins are back, everywhere... during workouts im flat but i look like walking penis cause of veins (also im bald so...)

its getting harder to push bf% down as this is new for my body i guess. will see where will i end up.

And we’ll always be our own worst critics, but I agree with what others are saying you look so much better and have gained in places that are showing, good work, brother

thanks mate. i guess its body dismorphia kicking in... all i can see is acne, excess skin, lot of fat left, soft lookin dude in mirror... -_-

 

[BabaJagga]

today was pull, very nice one.
somehow i was pumped af. veiny and hard, mast & var are doin its thing i guess. pity that it lasts like 15min and its gone

ive ordered new apple buds, i have been without any for 4 months? maybe more, im not sure
damn that noise canceling is phenomenal. finally i cant hear anything around me, total isolation for mind. i did few sets like that, just without noise & music, then it was rammstein.

im in deep love with hammer strenght pullover machine, plate loaded. 5 plates for rest pause set until absolute failure and lats were cooked. very good seating position, nice and wide. first machine that i like to strap onto, it helps a ton.

with lower bodyweight i can finally do stuff with bar, pullups are phenomenal, as warmup i did set of 12 wide grip and then another 9 with underhand grip and narrow.
good to warm up core as well.

anyway, few photos from today.

small update, progres seems... weird?

sleep is shit, recovery is shit, everything hurts so much. very stressfull period of time in work doesnt help much.

yesterday was restday with sauna and cold plunge. legs day before. ive felt physically so bad, hunger was at 200%, i felt like my body is screaming (it probably is) so ive added 100g of uncooked rice split into 2 portions with chicken. after first meal i felt like someone hit me, like drunk almost. it was weird, it took solid hour until that went away and i felt some energy. after that i exploded with small veins.

interesting fact is that my face look bloated after i had day with 100g of rice added. not like moonface from 600g carbs on 750 test but there is a difference.
without carbs my face look chiseled a bit, kind of like start of the deadface people get before shows. i actually like it that way, even tho its probably not sustainable or healthy. ive been told that i look like im in pain.

yesterday my morning fasted weight was 81.2kg, so my new low during this cut i belive. today, it was 83.2kg, so exactly 2kg up from yesterday, yet i look leaner, fuller.

i think im in simillar, if not better condition than previous cut where i finished at 76kg.
so i think ive added about 4-5? kgs of solid tissue, if i calculate it with 81kg morning weight, dry, without carbs and with clen. thats massive success for short period of time, from september to end of the year basicly. insert happy noises

i think i will need to add rice here and there just to be able to function in normal day to day life. beeing dizzy, feeling like zombie, its not exactly great experience.

legday was hard, mentally i was "affraid/anxious" about it the day before. it happens during cut. normally i like to train legs, its hard but dopamine hits after working sets so its good. during cut there is no dopamine, only pain

anyway, attached one vid from warmup set on leg extensions, one photo of legs day before legday i think and one from yesterday before sauna. finally i found setting on my camera phone and i can adjust light down a bit so definition can be seen better. its not filter, just exposure setting i think.

 

[IndividualMan]

good progress, sad to hear about the feelz tho

 

[BabaJagga]

good progress, sad to hear about the feelz tho

yea it is what it is. my gf told me im different. i prepared her to worst case scenario that cut is difficult period of time and time spent with me will suck. but i think its not something you can prepare someone

its part of the process and im weird enough that i enjoy suffering but when i have trouble beeing functional in daily tasks, i have to add carbs even tho it will slow the process a bit.

honestly, i could stop rn and try to maintan. i did not expected so rapid fatloss (RFL is the name right...). this style of cutting works, its rough but it works.
i dont wanna add mass or push food any time soon i think so i could stop and maintain, lean a bit more before summer with lot of bike rides (i have very littlr acitivity durimg summer) and be happy about it.

i will push for 2 more weeks, keep clen and var as well, then i will attempt to do refill before my weekend wellness so i can look juicy and tanned

after that no more var & clen, that will give my body much needed break. i will probably try to maintain after for while.
that phase is just boring for me, workin out without strict quest/goal in front of me.
