My pants are too big now!

Nice work. Started at 300 myself, now I'm at 228. You're giving me real hope here. Keep pushing toward that next goal.

Caffeine tolerance is real. I barely feel it anymore.

Timing the dose relative to heavy lifting is a real calibration problem - most people find 12-24 hours before the session works better than dosing the same day for compound movements. Torn rotator cuff plus biceps tendinosis is a constraint that significantly narrows the exercise menu; the hip thrust and lower-body work becoming central to the program isn't a compromise, it's just the correct rotation given what's overhead. MOTS-C for energy and recovery gets mentioned in contexts like this where the overhead press shelf is temporarily out of reach.
