+ 6 Do u guys think I'm losing muscle
Hey guys I completed my first cycle about 2-3 months ago did proper pct I ended at 207 and got a lot of fat after I posted progress pics last time it was suggested I cut down so that's what I have been doing I'm down to 183 and have lost a lot of fat but concerned I'm losing a lot of muscle too i look a lot smaller. I lift almost the same as when I completed my cycle so that's good. I eat 2000 to 2500 calories every day and do fasted cardio mon-fri before weight training I do drink amino acids with my pre workout to help aid in not losing that much muscle(don't know if working it was suggested). I have a fat caliper too but I get a different reading every time I use it so I don't know what my body fat percentage is I'm 5'6 though. Any advice is welcome I can take constructive criticism too, thanks

keep up the shred bro!
what are your goals? physique, body builder, powerlift...?
Thanks brother, I've been at it I'm 177 this morning and never been this light, kinda tired of eating barely anything though, lol. im gonna keep at it. goals are bodybuilder I'm just trying to see some abs right now though
Looking good brother! Progressive transformation right there! Get that body fat down for the next cycle and you're going to be awesome! +1 for diligence, dedication and sacrifice.
Thanks brother
Keep at it brother! By the looks of it you have a really good base underneath and the after pic shows really good progress. Keep hitting it, consistency will get you there.
And don't worry about losing a little muscle. When you done cutting down, you can gain those lost pounds of muscle on i no time!
Ok will do thanks
People who neg self pics are fucking pathetic. Especially on a pic like this, you've made Alot of progress id be proud
Thanks bro I am
Whoever gave this man a negative is a bitch in my eyes...Aint nothing wrong with showing your progress or base point. Were here to help not to judge. +1 HOPE IT EVENS IT OUT.
RustyhookerProbably big yhumbs on touchphone...but agree. Bumped as well +1. Hope the op keeps busting ass. Not an easy chore at all
Thanks man
Thanks man I appreciate it
No problem... try to shed some fat for the next pics you post.i love to see transformations. Im sure that you will show everyone what hard work and sweat builds.
Btw Congrats you can vote now. VOTE WISELY AND HONESTLY. This is how we keep the good gear afloat and the shit at the bottom.
Did somebody take a karma away? They gonna at least tell my why
Strict diet... im horrible at it though. Have faith brother
Haha tell me about it it's tough. Thanks
RustyhookerIf stength is solid and/or going up yet your lbs are dropping....great! Recomp. Meaning your hard base is there and it's just fat dropping. That's excellent! Keep cooking!
Thanks!
Looks like your losing a good amount of fat! Keep up the progress bro! Lalso i dont think you lost much muscle just fat from where im standing. Well done
Cool thanks
No other way to put it - You are Fat. Taking gear will not be optimal and also will be marginally effective unless you are using maintanence doses supplemented with a calorie deficit - with the sole intention fo losing weight! Why use any steroids/peps at your BF when you will need to eventually lose weight and thus put your body in a deficit state and lose some of that hard earned muscle?
Id halt any gear usage, get on a Diet and stick to it for 8-10 weeks and review. You need hard cardio, a decent 5x5 routine and a diet that will put you at 400-500 below maintenance. Stick to it, work hard, watch the scales once a week, look at the mirror and get down to circa 15% bf. Eight now you are in the 25%+ range...and I am being nice about that
Sorry dude - just saying it how it is.
It's all good that's why I said I can take constructive criticism. I will continue to lose weight till I get down to 15% body fat at least I know I'm fat that's why I've been dieting and doing cardio just wasn't shure if I was doing it the right way with the fasted cardio (ive heard good and bad about it). but I'm eating 2000-2500 calories a day so that should be a good deficit
fasted cardio is the best. Don't worry about losing muscle because you will have plenty of fat to burn before your body will be burning a ton of muscle. Besides muscle will be easier to gain back once you are lean
keep it up. feel free to add more calories from vegetables to help keep you feeling full longer.
Ok cool thanks for the advice
Fasted cardio is great but can be very catabolic if you go too intense. A slow jog for 20mins wouldn't do any damage when fasted
AnonYou need to focus more on losing weight not gaining it.
IMO, stay away from juice until youre at 10% BF. Just wasting it at your condition.
Yea that's why Ive been losing weight right now and dieting. I've lost 24 lbs and counting so i can get down to at the very least 15% body fat before starting again. I was just asking if it looks like I'm losing muscle too so maybe I need to switch up how I'm losing weight
