+ 4 2nd cycle diet help!!
5 weeks in, no pump picture. Will post that later on. No that is not gyno, I just used to be really fat LOL
Slowly feeling the test e kicking in. 10 days in on the Var. 25mg in morning before workout, with bump to 50 mg here within next week. I like the overall feeling, a little more endurance and vascularity but no crazy pumps (preworkout hits hard so i can’t tell a difference with the Var)
Need help please with diet. Seeing a lot of results but getting discouraged
Diet is around 2700 cal a day - 300g protein, 225 carbs, 50g fat.
Oats in morning and eggs in morning. Chicken and rice veggie mix 3-4 times a day, Salad , 2 protein shakes morning and night. Cheat meal on Friday is usually a heavy hibachi meal , steak chicken rice and then burgers/dry rub wings.
I love carbs (whole wheat) especially for energy and muscle fullness. However losing motivation in mid section . Obviously carbs needs to come down , but I’m just not sure what else to do without straight eating like a maniac on winter cycle

AnonThat don't look like gyno at all. I can tell it's just a little normal subcutaneous fat like what you got on your belly. You can burn all that fat away. In time the skin will tighten up too.
I wouldn’t say carbs necessarily need to come down.
But in general like the guys said, overall cals need to come down let’s say 200 to start. No cheat meals. Period. You’re not doing yourself any favors man. And Where’s the cardio?
I personally prefer just getting steps in. LISS upon waking. Weight training afternoon/evening. I like to split cardio and weights to different times of the day if I can. And I use HIIT post workout when I start to hit a plateau. 10-15min on the stair master haul ass and don’t hold on.
Everyone is different. You’ll have to experiment to see what works best for you. But no matter what. Be diligent. Be committed. You won’t see the results you want cheating.
Molinin302Been behind you since you got on, I knew it. Looking good buddy, should befriend a couple of the guys on here that are more knowledgeable than I about the diet stuff, they'll get you dialed in. ++
I think that was the first thing u said was check my diet haha
Molinin302I think you're right lol. Bro I had a rough start, gained karma, lipped off, posted pics during a run that I didn't know the dianabol was terribly overdosed (my pissed off wife called me Beetlejuice because my head looked shrunk), lashed out, went -20 or so with the karma, but stuck around. Shared my knowledge and learned from others. It's a good place here. But yeah, I knew you had in you, got the structure! Good for you bro!
Haha yea sounds about right lol still trying to control the lash out . Good support here but no where near where I want to be. Under construction still , never satisfied!
Molinin302I set smaller goals, keep things reasonable works for me. Without doing it, my stepson was over one night, he had been exercising, said his arms were 17". I laughed. Of course Mol has a tape so we measured and he stretched my tape out to a wicked 14.5". Honest 14.5" though to be fair. He asked mine, I said 18", he said let's measure. Bro... I was shy of 19". Cold. I'd love to say 19", I really would but honestly can't. But it made me feel amazing. I knew I had made gains, but not that much. My next goal (pumped, not cold) is 20". I think I can do it.
20” arms are ridiculous! Go for it! Post the pics when u get there
Keep pushing bro it can only get better once you dial in more and makwa below just said it all +
You are closer to a maintenance diet there. If you want to cut some fat you are going to have to lower the carbs and the cals a bit more. I would cut those carbs in half and add in about 25g of fat and go from there. Refeed day only 1/month if needed if weight loss plateaus. No carbs for breakfast (unless you workout in the morning). Just protein and fats. Majority of carbs should be eaten pre and post workout. Rest of meals just protein and fat.
AnonWait what’s the problem? What’s your goal that you need help with the diet for?
What’s your cycle also
I kinda wondered the same thing, he does mention " losing motivation in midsection". I'm assuming, he doesnt like his belly????
Correct sir
Abs. Never had visible abs before lol easily been on muscle mass but mid section has been flat without crazy visible abs
Test e 250 -400mg a week split mon-Thur
Anavar 50 mg
Get rid of the cheat meal, maybe bring the calories down 250 or so. Also, bring in some cardio.
That easy huh I do 15 min of cardio preworkout already, run longer then?
Cardio should be done post workout. Just burning up fuel that could be used to lift weights and build muscle. Cardio after workout will focus the shift on more fat for energy instead of carbs since you should have burned up a significant amount of glucose during training and the body will now switch over to using more fat for fuel. HIIT is best for cardio.
AnonUgh I hate hiit, I prefer liss after lifting, but I don’t practice what I preach there lol daddy likes donuts and I only have about 45mins 4x a week for lifting...so my gut is similar to his little pooch lmao
Awesome advice thank you
Everyone is different for sure. I personally run every other day, 2.5 miles. The belly fat has got to be taken care of by calorie deficit, eating or working out.
29 years of straight belly haha gotta goooo
I lived that way 37 years, diet diet diet.
