Muscle wastage and working out

[rahaysa]

I've experienced pretty bad muscle loss and weakness in the <3 months since my crash. I'm just wondering if there's anyone else here who had this? How long did it take before you were able to workout? I realize everyone's different, I'm just feeling frustrated that I'm still losing muscle. Stretching, bodyweight squats and pushups is about all I can handle right now without making myself worse.

An OATS test from my naturopath showed that I'm in ketosis, so maybe I should up my carbs?

i have experinced muscle wastage ... after i crashed i got man boobs ... and i alsolost muscle in my arms and hips ... my hips havent recovered from the muscle wastage yet to an extent i can be happy ... but arms are doing good ...

most of my pants have become unfit due to muscle wastage in hips ... i feel its a very slow process from muscle wastage to muscle building ..

How long ago was your crash?

It started out really bad in my legs (none of my pants fit me anymore either). My legs seem to have stabilized but now my upper body, especially my arms are wasting.

Guys do you have any update on this? I have experienced significant muscle wastage. I am 5 months post taking the drug (only a single 1mg pill) and have been eating healthy, perhaps not enough total intake, but I definitely have wastage, not simply atrophy. I don't get a full pump like I used to, and my muscles are flat now. This is truly heartbreaking. Has anyone experienced muscle wastage that has improved?

Very positive updates for me. I have basically put back all my muscle. My forearms and shoulders are still a bit thin but my legs and core are significantly bigger than they were pre pfs. Give it time, I'm a year and 8 months into this now
