Current Focus: Adductor Recovery
Right now, my training focus is less about moving huge weights and more about addressing the nagging issues that keep me from pushing forward at full capacity. The adductor has been a sticking point, and I’m doing everything I can to accelerate the healing process. This means dialing back intensity, leaning into recovery modalities, and being consistent with a supplement and peptide protocol designed to keep me on track.
Along with this, I’m working hard to keep my bodyweight trending under 250 pounds. Carrying extra weight when dealing with soft tissue problems only makes things worse, so this has been a necessary adjustment. It’s not the glamorous side of training, but it’s the foundation that will allow me to eventually return to heavier work under the bar.
Peptide and Supplement Protocol
For those who have asked, here’s a breakdown of my current daily regimen:
- TB-500: 0.75 mg
- BPC-157: 0.75 mg
- Copper: 2 mg
- Tesamorelin: 1 mg nightly (for growth hormone support)
I’ve paired this with regular saline injections and frequent ultrasound treatments. The goal is to keep inflammation at bay while helping damaged tissues repair themselves more effectively. If you’re curious about the peptides, Apex Peptides (Apex-Peptides.com) has been my go-to source, and you can save with the code BRIAN.
Lipoma History and Ongoing Management
Another major component of my journey these past few years has been dealing with lipomas. In total, I’ve had over 100 removed in just the last three years. For most people this sounds unbelievable, but genetically, I’m predisposed to them. Statistically, about one in three people will develop at least one lipoma in their lifetime, and once you’ve had one, it’s common to develop more.
In my case, the lipomas have almost always developed symmetrically. For example, if I have one show up in a pec, another will usually appear in the opposite pec. I strongly believe this pattern ties back to stress concentrations from lifting heavy for decades. When you hammer the same tissues under extreme load, the weak links eventually show themselves.
The most recent ones came from my arm and wrist—hotspots from years of bench pressing. One of those wasn’t even a lipoma but a synovial cyst that had to be removed. Still, the principle is the same: genetic predisposition combined with years of heavy load and inflammation creates the perfect storm for these growths.
Benign but Not Harmless
Every lipoma I’ve had removed has been sent to the lab, and thankfully, they’ve all been benign. Most are painless and just sit under the skin as fatty nodules. But when they’re pressing against nerves or tangled with blood vessels, they turn into angiolipomas, which can be quite painful and disruptive to training.
Even though they aren’t dangerous, managing them has become part of my long-term strategy for longevity. Ignoring them isn’t an option when they interfere with performance or quality of life.
Looking Ahead
Moving forward, I plan to share more content specifically about lipomas and how they relate to lifting. I know I’m not the only one who deals with them, and the more lifters open up about it, the better we can compare notes and strategies.
At the same time, my focus will remain on adductor rehab, peptide-assisted recovery, and building a foundation for heavier lifting in the months ahead. It’s a process of staying disciplined and taking the long view.
Thanks to everyone who continues to follow these logs—it keeps me motivated to keep pushing, learning, and sharing the journey.
