Bone Loss...Can we recover???

[Hulk Smash]

I'm steady at 85% recovered

I think my stagnant progress may be due to my fat loss struggle. Too many cheat meals/sodas.
Hopefully I will be disciplined 100% for 2021. I think with losing that fat, my T and DHT should hit their max and I will be at 110%.
Keep at it guys. Move from your city or state if you must to find an open gym. Recovery is priority, then all else will fall into place.

And guys please don't go vegan. Its destructive long-term.

Great to hear.

And that's exactly why the Modified Paleo is the diet recommended on TMO

Does it really matter? You should focus on the 85% that he is feeling rather then the 15% he's still dealing with. Perception is everything.

Surely, in fact is a dream of me being 85% better. Re-reading my post I might have sounded rude. Sorry

I don't think you sounded rude at all and there is nothing for you to apologize for. We as people tend to only focus on what is wrong, and not what is right. Human nature I guess, but that one little change in perception and the way you look at things goes a long way.

"Cortical bone represents 80% of the skeletal mass and therefore supports most of the mechanical function."

Estrogen seems to have inhibitory effect on cortical/appositional mass.
Must keep E within healthy range consistently.

Revisited some old threads to confirm one recovery reported bone mass improvement in hands.

Seems like testosterone functions more on the inside of the bone.

DHT operates more on the outer region of bone. Outer layer makes up near 80% of bone mass according to several sources.

Excess estrogen will interfere with bone metabolism. Has an inhibitory effect on bone formation. Smaller skeletal mass overall.

Therefore lack of DHT and/or excess estrogen will limit skeletal mass.

Also, stress/inflammation will throw off parathyroid to produce more osteoclasts vs osteoblasts, thereby also inhibiting bone mass. Thyroid function also plays a role, from what I remember.

Man shoutout to you Hulk, you are Swole's official bone expert.

You say DHT helps, have you ever cycled?
