TSH range goes up to 5.0 so they may hesitate to treat unless you have a documented history of gradual elevation. Ideally you want around 1.0.

Is your cholesterol high too?

If you get more bloodwork, try to get prolactin, vit D, and basic hormone panel.
In men aged 31 and over.

I’m 23, my maximum level should be 4.5 at most and should be even lower for my age range.

gonna go the @KingZimbabwe route and get some bloodwork done. my scale legit aint moving, i'm also not losing inches. something is off. the only next step i can think of is just doing cardio and letting weights go, maybe my body just can't take the stress from that. shyt's annoying because the more the scale stays the same, the more i stress, the more stress you have the higher your cortisol levels, and cortisol is terrible for weight loss, it's a self-feeding cycle

I glanced at it also but I think similar to @KingZimbabwe you might be doing too much overall as well.

First workout with no masks.

Steroid shot drained the remaining inflammation in my ankle.

We byke :wow:

Hat-trick incoming this saturday

SN: Idk why my left side doesn’t get as much engagement on chest days. I do the same number of reps/sets on each side but I find my right side “taking over” on those last couple of reps. Need to correct that ASAP.

i'm not tho, i do the circuit class 3x week, full body 1-2x, and SS/LISS cardio (mix of spin, walking outside or incline tread). i feel the need to be active twice a day since working at home, i don't get the natural movement that you'd get going to work or whatever. but i'mma drop the circuit classes next week and see if that helps, in the meantime i'mma check out my bloodwork and see if anything is off.

i was making progress in april but this month everything stopped, that week my weight shot up 5lbs, it took 2-3 weeks to get that off, like wtf!?
