Recomp Cycle #2
I read everything you all said. Thanks for the advice. I'm planning on running 500mg test per week. I'll be around 8% body fat by the time I start on 500mg. I plan to run my macros at 400p 250c (pre workout carbs) 10-20f for 2 weeks. That should take me closer to 5-6% body fat. Here is where I'm not entirely sure how to run my macros. I plan on switching to 400p 250c 100f on non weight days and bumping carbs to 500 grams on days I lift. My plan is to grow and stay lean here. I'm not sure if 3500 and 4500 calories are enough but I plan to use the mirror. As my weight continues to rise my body fat should stay the same or lessen. If my body fat begins to decrease I would add another 500 calories of fat or carbs and see what happens. I do plan to work with someone soon so this is all really my plan for the next 2-3 months before I'm able to start with my coach.
Thoughts? Again, thanks in advance for all the flames and possible advice lol

Muscleg33kwith those macros you are actually bulking!!!
You are planning on dropping 2-3% BF and getting down to 5% BF in two weeks, and with those macros! Seriously?! It takes me 2 months to drop from 8% to 5%. Your body will fight you tooth and nail to keep that body fat when you start getting that low. Have you ever been that low of bodyfat? If so you might as well be stepping on stage cause that is about where many competitors come in at. You are kind of in la-la land here. The type of recomp you are trying to do isn't going to happen. It's like chasing after 2 bunny rabbits and the same time and trying to catch them. It is an effort in futility. Try to set some more realistic goals so you aren't dissapointed in the the outcome.
So far, I'm dropping weight according to my calculations so I know it's working. Once I'm within the desired body fat I plan to run off 500mg of test and begin to grow within that body fat. My proposed macros for that will be (3100 cals) 450p 100c 100f and then to take in another 250 carbs post workout to replenish
I'm uncertain if I have to count protein toward my metabolic rate, the same proposed cycle may be 450p 500c 100f and 250c to replenish, I'll have to see what my weight does on 100c with 250c to replenish, if it drops 3lbs then I know I need to run off of 500c not 100c
What's your cycle history? Be specific, too.
I did a beginner cycle with the help of you guys on 500mg. I had awesome growth but was burning off a lot of muscle by doing cardio in keto lol I did a 600test 600eq and blew up, too sloppy with carbs and fats though, I didn't know how to pinpoint. My favorite was my last run on 500mg, I was 230 25% body fat but the size was most impressive. My proposed next cycle is 500mg test 450p 100c 100f and 250c post workout to replenish.

Somebody's fishin......nibble nibble ....lol
Lol...sounds like he needs more help if he is gonna increase carbs that high...
LMFAO
Sorry bro, that's some funny ass shit. Really it is. The dream of every competitive bodybuilder. Let me know how that works out for you. It could revolutionize the whole sport of bodybuilding bro. You could become a multi-millionaire if you could teach the elite athletes in the sport how to do that. I don't know how to do that and I don't know anybody that does.
