The amonia smell is very faint.
What'd you change in order to reduce the ammonia?
Yeah I sometimes stink to high heaven of ammonia when heavy sweating. Never gave it much thought. Is it bad for you?
I hope you are doing ok. I definitely listen to my body. Getting big hurts like a mother but it’s worth it. There is a difference between working through the gains and working through pain that is injury related. I’m just now getting in tune with all of that.
Long distance runners sometimes smell of amonia as they switch to protein as a fuel source on long runs.
Sometimes it can he from a buildup in workout clothing.
I was tested and told the reason is I have (hopefully temporary) lowered kidney function. The doctor is saying it might be from taking creatine and is going to test me in a month to see if it gets better.
Basically your body is using protein as a fuel source and a byproduct of that is ammonia buildup and if the kidneys can't deal with it it can become a very serious issue. You sweat it out instead of pee it out.
I was told to drop the protien levels and creatine so I did.
Interestingly CJ and I both seemed to he pondering the same thing. I was on a high protein low carb diet for a long time. Perhaps it was not the creatine and my body adapted to the lack of carbs and fats and started seeing protein as a fuel source.
Or I could just have bad kidneys, time will tell.
I am dropping bodyfat pretty quickly and so far my strength isn't taking a real hit according to this Monday and last mondays Monday's numbers.
That’s very interesting and it was usually after long runs. I need to quit that shit. I was doing a lower carb deal for a minute but I didn’t have the juice to make it through workouts so I switched up to a 40/40/20 macro split. I struggle staying the course of lean gains and being patient. Part of me wants to go keto and drop weight quicker but I know i will sacrifice muscle too.
You are kicking ass. Keep it up dude!
I cut protien way back, dropped the BCAAs, stopped the creatine and any powdered concentrated protein.
The only thing I take that isnt a food in its natural state if you will is fit pb.
I also cut back the number of meals.
Hoping for the best bro.
Any idea what is going on with the shoulder? Still trying to cut to below 200?

You're doing a lot of program hopping lately. Find one you like gawd dammit! :32 (20):
