Got cleared to go back to normal training again

[Coach is Back!]

Meaning, I can finally go back to training more often (back to a regular schedule) with the same intensity and weight as before. I can start upping my protein a little (like 200gr max for now) eGFR is up, Creatnine levels are within high-normal range, BUN is about normal and BP is stable and normal (average is like 130/68-71). Albumin is high but not alarming (still leaking protein).

We’ll see if I stupid enough to give this one more go next year

Be careful Coach.  Just because I think your politics suck doesn't mean I want to see you unwell.

Just win North American 2o21 !.

[Montague]

Glad to hear the good news, Coach!

Sometimes, though, I think certain biomarkers are “mis-emphasized.”
For example, creatinine levels are often elevated in people who exercise because that kind of physical activity increases the breakdown of creatine into creatinine.

Of course, I’m not dismissing any of these markers - particularly for anyone with demonstrated health concerns.
And, I wish you the best of luck getting back to your routine safely and intelligently!

[Bevo]

You can do it safely and intelligently as much as you can but you are nearing 60. The thought of you even considering giving it one last go next year is mind boggling

Bbers are truly sick in the head, won’t quit until 6 ft under

Just work out, stay in shape, and enjoy your life

I really do fear for your health coach

[Humble Narcissist]

Just maintain your current jacked condition and you'll be fine.

Although creatinine numbers will be higher in individuals partaking in more than average exercise/weight training,  one cannot dismiss the higher # of creatinine, BUN, with simultaneous drop in GFR. (especially if there are symptomatic issues signaling drop in renal function)  Very high correlation to Renal function!!!  BUN will self regulate over time--just your body's way of maintaining proper pH levels.
  It is great news to hear that your renal GFR is getting better...  Just always remember the functioning of your kidneys far outweighs the potential musculature achieved through excessive amounts of byproducts that your kidney needs to filtrate at this point...  Once your renal system goes down... everything else follows-- liver...cardiovascular.. .etc.  Thus leading to more systemic complications... This is ALWAYS the same story..    Although it sucks to be extra cautious, it is good news that you have the ability to now see it from this perspective and can make adjustments..  but that is up to you brother...  keep your head up

What was the problem Coach?

You look f'n jacked and ripped in that posted pic! Very Impressive!  100% serious.

Now,  bro to bro, it might be a good idea to switch gears and evolve into a more overall fitness program.

God's speed my friend in finding some inner peace as you make this tough decision .

[OneMoreRep]

You look fantastic here Joe..



As someone that really likes you, my suggestion is to walk away from the steroids. Want to continue working out and competing? Sure, why not, but do it all natural. The results won't be as impressive, but we need you alive man.

If you can keep that weight and overall shape as displayed in the picture above, you're all set buddy. There's nothing left to prove Joe.

TRUTH



WE NEED YOU ALIVE JOE!

Coach,

Don't listen to these pussies.

Now that the docs cleared you get back in there and push your body to its limit and beyond.

Life is short so why not make it shorter.

Red line it, baby!

Yes, he could do that , but is it in his best interest? I don't think so.
Will these getbig cheerleaders be there if he ruins a kidney ? Fuk No!

His body and blood work are the messengers and he needs to listen and make his peace with it.
 
I'm really sorry Coach, but, It's TIME to move on bro.

[joswift]

Looking great Coach

Give it a go next year , if you dont you might regret it

[Van_Bilderass]

Coach, did you consider astragalus as a kidney supplement? Not saying it's a panacea but it's interesting how it seems to help kidney markers in juicers.

You look fantastic here Joe..

Come on, man. There's no walking away from steroids completely, at least HRT is a must for old juiceheads. Most would rather die than go clean, just the way it is. Competing and maintaining natural? There is no maintaining off everything and absolutely no competing, unless you want to weigh 50lbs less with 10lbs more fat.

Great news - more power to you 

Just please go easy on the anti-inflammatories this time round (was it naproxen?)
