Doing CG lantus/keto protocol

[montego]

So here's a question for anyone following. Montego asked about the cruise week that's involved with fortitude training. My body feels a little beat up and probably could use the break. I'm in the middle of this cycle running insulin if I take a break would you guys recommend stopping insulin and only using a small dose that test to keep me going for the week instead of test suspension twice a day? Or just keep pushing until the cycle is over. Probably be another 3 weeks ish

Curious on your opinions

Keep everything the same.

Fasted glucose this morning was 78. my weight is fluctuating everywhere. Yesterday just under 210 today 206.5lbs. Not sure why but I'm happy with the results so far

Good workout, weights were a little lighter then last week. Knees are kinda achy. I'm thinking winstrol has something to do with it

Planned your cruise week yet?

I've read over the cruise a few times. It seems as though there is no structure. Kind of a do what you want to phase.

Thought I'd just randomly check my glucose level about quarter after 11 I drink a shake at 10:30. Glucose level reading was 111. Holy crap

that's awesome, man! looks like the lantus is jacking your bg up hardly at all!

that's great to see

I would think that as long as your bg stays low, you could run the lantus indefinitely..

thanks for staying up on this log

At what blood level don you feel the best at?
60 - 90- 120?

You're welcome,thanks for reading along. I appreciate all of you guys input. this is keeping me on point also.

I think I'm ordering more lantus to keep it going. I'm very happy with this run. Dudes at the are like man wtf! Your getting leaner and bigger lol.

At what blood level don you feel the best at?
60 - 90- 120?

I honestly don't feel much differently at each. Ill try to make notes on how I feel when I test myself. Be interesting to know

Fasted glucose was 91 again. Weight is 207.6 I do think I need a deload / cruise. My body feels beat up. Reading over the book and researching it seems as the cruise is very individual so I'm thinking for me a light leg day Monday. Leg ext and curl . Wednesdays chest and back Friday shoulders and arms. I thought about doing just arms all week, they are lagging imo so they could use a bit of help.. Lots of stretching and rolling all week. Might even schedule a massage. Probably get in the tanning bed a few times. Relaxing and need to get my glow on lol

Yesterday's fasted glucose was 91. Seems to be right there " normally" now. Keeping lantus at 50iu. Some clen and t3 for a few weeks would probably bring me in stage weight fairly easy and I'm doing no cardio at all. Love leaning out without cardio lol

Yesterday's workout felt decent but cut back a few sets.

2 x MR back thick chest supported row. 2 45 plates each side

2 x MR back width**wide grip pull down 195lb

1x MR delts seated machine 165

1 x MR triceps tricep machine 120

Busy weekend. Had to take my dad to the hospital for a knee replacement and pick him the next day. Diet was eh lol. Friday I was 206.7lbs had a sub and chips Friday night woke up at 205 even. So Saturday morning I had a huge breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, home fries, toast.... The works.. Glucose level was 155 after that meal. Pretty much a cheat day Saturday big pasta meal at night . Sunday big breakfast the diet back on point. This morning I looked leaner and weighed in at 208.6. Fasted glucose was 85

I added in tren a and mast a along with a low dose of t3 and clen. Going to run that for 3 weeks then I'll cruise for a while

Fasted Bg was 114 this morning. Just checked it before my shake it was 140. Highest its been since I've started this. Still using 50iu lantus in the morning

 

[lilgumby]

So I've been watching my glucose levels since it was high fasted this morning.

8:30 before I drink my meal was 116

10:30 before my next Shake was 93

11:30 before my meal it was 97

1230 hour after my meal it was a 91

The number seem kind of odds compared to where they were. This is the new meter I'm using. The test strips come in a big case not individually wrapped like my last one. Not sure if it has a difference testing because of touching the strips getting them out of the jar

Do you take the first drop of blood or wipe, squeeze and use the second drop?
