man that is a massive wake up call. 692 is no joke but at least u know now instead of finding out the hard way during a heavy set. definitely gonna book a calcium scan this week- thanks for the kick in the pants.

dude i’m in the same boat. my dad had his first bypass at 45 and he was a marathoner. i just got my bloods back and my ldl is sky high even on a clean diet. genetics really are the final boss- hope the docs get u sorted on some statins or whatever u need.

this is exactly why i tell guys to stop worrying about their "abs" and start worrying about their bloodwork. u might’ve just saved a few lives by posting this. i’ve been putting off my heart check for months but i’m calling tomorrow morning

damn. 27 years sober and eating clean just to get hit with a 692... that’s frustrating as hell. but hey, u caught it. better to have a high score on a paper than a heart attack in the gym. stay strong man

honestly this is the scariest part of the lifestyle. we all think because we look good on the outside that the plumbing is fine too. i appreciate u being real about the genetics part... some people just have that "sticky" cholesterol no matter how much broccoli they eat.

damn man that is a massive wake up call for everyone here. 692 is definitely no joke especially when your doing everything right on the outside. really appreciate you sharing this because way too many guys think just because they look good in the mirror they're invincible- hope you get a solid plan together to manage it

it's crazy how much genetics just screw you over sometimes. i know dudes who eat like absolute trash and have perfect bloodwork then guys like you who are dialed in and get hit with a high calcium score. definitely gonna look into getting a cac scan now because i havent had one in years- thanks for the kick in the ass to get it done

sorry about your brother man but seriously thanks for the heads up. people always talk about liver and kidneys but the heart is what usually gets guys in this game. 27 years sober and eating clean just goes to show you cant always beat what's in your dna without some medical help too- stay on top of it

wow 692 is high but at least you know now right?? better to find out sitting in a doctors office than when your mid-set at the gym. i've been putting off my heart checks because i "feel fine" but your post is making me rethink that real quick. definitely taking your advice and booking an appointment

man that's scary stuff but seriously good on you for getting checked. it's wild that you can feel 100% and have a ticking bomb like that inside. i'm calling my doc tomorrow to see about getting a calcium score done too just to see where i'm at. stay strong brother you got this handled

this is the most important post on here today. we all focus so much on the gains and the cycle but the internal health is what actually keeps you alive. i hope the docs can get you started on something to stabilize that buildup. thanks for being real about it and not just posting the highlight reel

genetics really are the final boss lol. you can do all the cardio in the world but if your liver just pumps out plaque then it is what it is. glad you caught it before anything actually happened though. i know a few guys on statins who had high scores and they're still training hard so there is definitely a way forward
