Progress report (73yro 180lb 6ft)
I have been doing the fission/fusion protocol for 3 weeks, taking the following fusion dose with my coffee 3 days per week
followed by an hour of tennis and then some weight lifting (M/T/W).
1.0g nicotinamide (2 tab biophix),
1.0g D-Ribose (2 tab BoostCeuticals),
900mg LE AMPK (2 tab LE),
100mg Fisetin (1 tab DrBest)
I occasionally add 0.5g nicotinamide+ 0.5g D-Ribose before bed to see if I can get the vivid dreams
I had occasionally when taking NR some years ago - but so far nothing.
I have not had any repeat of the skipping heart rate I experienced when starting out at fission@1.5g nicotinamide .
Next week I will try upping my fission dose to 1.5g nicotinamide daily.
Rather than "exercise like a girl" I do my own "exercise like a geezer" weight lifting which consists of
1 set of bench presses, 1 set of pullups, and 1 set of dips, with plenty of rest between exercises.
I think that I am following the old Nautilis Machine (Arthur Jones) recommendations
that suggested that older people have less recovery ability, so they should do only 1 set of exercises at the heaviest
weight where they can do ~4-10 reps. This is supposed to give you max muscle stimulation with minimum breakdown. Anyway, that's my story and I am sticking to it.
Weight Lifting Results: in 3 weeks I have gone from 6 to 8 reps at 165lb bench press, from 4 to 6 pullups, and from 10 to 12 dips. Maybe some of that is due to more exercise diligence than normal, but I credit some to the fis/fus protocol. I have been doing this weight lifting for years, and this is the first time I have seen a clear increase rather than the gradual decrease that comes with aging.
On non weight lifting days, and on fusion protocol, I do HIIT and there it is harder to track my progress, but the
stairstepper machine I use has a heart rate monitor, and finishes with an average heart rate over 16min, and that is gradually falling but the true test will be my weekly mountain hike where I time myself over the same course and have years of previous data. I will try that tomorrow if the weather permits.
Also, I took the Osiris Green biological age test about a month ago, before fis/fus, and recently got back a result of
"Estimated age: 59.5 years old, plus or minus 1.8 years (median absolute deviation)" thanks to my ancestors
and clean living? I am not sure if I should expect to see any improvement if I retake the biological age test after
some months on the fis/fus protocol?
