Just curious but what’s a high number? I had some blood work recently and I think they measured creatinine but didn’t pay attention to it

Honestly, I'd avoid any situation that could potentially lead to kidney stones. That said, cut it until the next blood test and see what happens. Completely unrelated, hit a personal goal of a 5-rep bodyweight front squat with a 105kg x5 set! A belt with heavy front squats really helped. Gave me something to throw my diaphragm into so I didn't feel like I was crunching every rep.

Doesn't just lifting in general raise serum creatinine levels due to muscle breakdown products? I always tell my doctor before any blood test so I don't get the YOUR KIDNEYS ARE FAILING speech

I always tell my doctor before any blood test so I don't get the YOUR KIDNEYS ARE FAILING speech I think so. Trauma can as well, I remember back in college I had blood work done before surgery and my surgeon called me and asked if I had been in a car accident since trauma can raise the levels and mine were high. Day before the blood work I had slammed into a tree while mountain biking.

Use your creatinine juiced muscles to convince your doctor to shut the gently caress up.

You aren't a real lifter until your doctor gets mad at you. Honestly I think the issue is most family doctors kind of suck if you are any kind of strength athlete. My blood pressure and blood work is perfect and I still get yelled at for not doing "cardio" everytime I have a physical.

No, sorry, cardio would hinder my recovery between workouts and negatively affect my lifts. Nice try, gains goblins.

Anyone try Alpha Lion preworkout powder? I keep getting ads for it on FB, but reviews are like, "Works great, but don't take it every day 'cause it's got DMHA and that poo poo is technically banned."

I was not, and am not now on steroids. And yes, I took it as a complement lol. Another of my doctors while assessing me called me a "well built young man". Also my therapist asked me if I was on steroids recently

Maybe they're going the other way with it - y'know, "are you on steroids? No? Maybe think about it?"

Just tested my squat 1 rep max. My old max was 315lb @150lb bodyweight. 320lb Successful 325lb Successful 330lb Successful 335lb Successful I was really conservative with how much I was increasing the weight by. I think I could have done 340lb or more, but I was feeling pretty tired after five warm-up sets (pyramiding the weight) and one attempt at my old 1RM* (a total of five working sets). Fairly happy with the results of the program! Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Mar 21, 2022 |

I got flank pain. Right side. I thought abstaining from preworkout for a day would help it abate but it didn't.
