Crashed metabolism after contest need help!

During my contest diet I was eating 3200 calories as my deficit the contest was may 11th I ate a little junk food the next day but not a lot, I started eating about 4200 calories a day of clean foods just larger portions. I'd like to do a lean bulk but it seems I'm gaining more fat then I should be, my question is how get my metabolism back to where it was (super fast) but with clean bulking?

It could be to do with your T3 levels crashing out, tends to happen close to contest especially with a lot of LISS thrown into the mix from my personal experience dealing with people. Stick to the calories you were at pre contest, then slowly start ramping up the calories by a few hundred each week. Its a pain in the arse but reverse dieting is one way to build up to maintenance after a brutal contest prep.

Yeah about 190 right now but I usually have a very quick metabolism which is why I'm gaining weight, I've bumped it down to about 3600 so I'm gonna see how that goes

You are 5'7" and 180lbs? Is that correct? I would say 4200 calories is too much unless you have a very physically demanding job.

Truth, i reckon 3600 is more than enough for a clean bulk.

Yeah man, definitely for someone this size. I don't know if he was working with a coach or not but I'm not a fan of the crazy ass huge bulks and then cuts that a lot of coaches use now. I don't really believe in metabolic damage either but gaining and dropping weight like that will fuck you up.

I tried caber out last year and just couldn't take it I would get extremely sick from it, no hcg did 40/40/20/20 on the nolvadex I seem to rebound quick off cycle though this will be the last week of pct didn't have any gyno problems throughout cycle

No caber...prami...bromo. No clomid. No hcg.

You need blood test and proper protochol. The future if you keep neglecting your balls is a lifetime of shots, bloods and issues. It is all key to recovery and a happy healthy life.

Get and post bloods. Sexy mexy is good at rebooting. Sounds like you're still shut down

Tren has a harder shutdown. Did you use caber, hcg and a good pct? How many Weeks into pct? Need ya to fill us in to get to an answer so its not 40 questions. Get ya pointed into right direction..
