I don’t think the red lentil pasta was my problem, so I will still have it sometimes on carb backloading days.
I most likely hadn’t been getting enough protein or calories, since my arms haven’t really grown in a long time. I’m adding another 50 grams of protein per day and am logging literally everything I eat to make sure I’m in a small calorie surplus. The idea is to gain muscle and not much fat. When I’m gaining more muscle again I will have more upswings, and consistent morning wood again.
I also ordered this “Snowball” underwear which has cold packs you put in the freezer and they chill your balls for 30 mins at a time. So you do that for 2 hours per day (not all at once) and over time it’s supposed to help your test production.
I can’t wait for an upswing.
