+ 6 Help me!! Need recomendations and what to improve on further.
Thought this would be the best place to go for guidance on how to get better physic whise. Any and all comments welcomed. I was very edgy on posting this since everyone else on here blows my phyisc out of the water. But why not ask for help right? Thanks all!!
Hey all so... ive came out of the closet and posted my pics...... I am right now on my second cycle of test e and gained some good amount of weight while gaining some fat too. However I need help. At the moment im running dnp as well so im a little flat then usely, lol not missing much more tho. I still have alot of work to do and a long journey to get there, however ive made it from 350 pounds down to my lowest weight of 220. Right now im 240.
My records are:
Squat 290(Had knee surgery on right knee so yah)
Deadlift 345
Bench 255
Standing Military Press 185
The last pic was when I was 350 pounds that was three years ago. I natural lost weight and started my first cycle last winter of just test e. Then started another cycle of test e recently. Both at 500mg for 12 weeks with pct and all.
Im very carb sensitvie meaning I can blow up in wieght i just an added cup of oatmeal a day without changing anything else to my diet. If I want to cut weight I do cardio and cut eggs down while running a low dose of dnp and to bulk i just stop dnp and cardio and just lift.

BigBmajGreat progress. +
With that kind of determination the sky's the limit. Keep it up.
RustyhookerDude...you're kicking ass. So like if you're now headed towards mass vs lean then it's a workout change.
you've done one amazing transformation you should be soooooo proud of yourself!!
I would say keep building your muscles and hardening up...as far as gear advice that's the men's dept.
great job!! +1
Chaz32621thanks everyone for all your advice
Awesome work put in bud. Don't loose focus and grind out every lb. I am carb sensitive like you are which sucks for cutting, but once you do a lean bulk you will gain strength and muscle much faster and much cheaper then other guys.
You cannot change your genetics but in this game you can adapt and push further
Chaz32621Thanks brother, keep pushing past that finish line man!!
WithdrawlFirst of all, your results are nothing short of amazing. Outstanding job! I can't even imagine how much better you feel now that you've lost all that weight. I think a nice way to give you a faster metabolism would be to add on some more muscle mass, but, you'll have to do that very carefully since you are so prone to weight gain. A good lean bulk, emphasizing the "lean", would be nice because if you can put on another 10 lbs of muscle, not only will you look better but your metabolism will be faster because your body will have to feed all that new muscle. This will also make it easier for you to lose fat when you go on a dieting phase. Also, you might want to try a nice high volume training program where your total sets and reps are higher for each muscle group. This helped me out with increasing muscle size but also burns a lot of calories too to help keep you lean. Just a thought bro. Either way, you're results are very inspirational and you should be extremely proud of what you've accomplished! +1
Absolutley do not use gear. I see you can still make improvement naturally. Only thing i would consider is clen. If I can +5 this comment I would, couldn't have said this any better. I came down from 310 in 01' took me only about 2 years but I still had a lot of loose skin. I was running about 6 miles a day and was about 190 25% bodyfat. Bodyfat % is just a ratio so if you increase your lbm (lean body mass) 10 pounds over a year that would probably be a 7 % swing and you'd go from mid 20s what you appear now to the mid teens. Just eat clean brotha. I can't emphasize how important fruits veggies and protein are. I personally don't like having carbs (starches) unless I'm getting them from fruits and veggies. You can easily accomplish this new goal of adding muscle, legs legs legs,squats, deads lunges and all the grueling excersicing no one likes. Do it slow and take your time. Good luck and +1
Chaz32621Thanks man means a lot from you, ha the weight lost was just the start. Not only did I feel better but mentally I was sharper. Cardio went up like crazy. When I first started I couldn't even do a push up now I can do 20 easy. Lets not even talk about how much ive came from being able to do pullups lol or dips for that matter. And the woman boy was I missing out, however im getting my fair share in now :).
Thanks for the advice man will defiantly take it and start for my lean bulk. I still have alot of work but ive made it this far!
AnonBro you have done well
Obviously diet is number one....... im not saying eat less but what you eat is most important.....i lost alot just eating chicken rice tuna yogurt and just clean foods like that nothing fried and i do mean nothing.... steam veggies like broccoli and such... being southern it is hard..... keep up the good work
Id like to see where you are a year from now
Chaz32621Hhaha so this means no KFC? damn lol!! Thanks man yah when my diet shifts off I lose focus alot but im one determined SOB!
I have a buddy that was in the same spot as you. Hard work and watching what you eat is #1. However he uses TestP and winny. He does some cardio but mostly works out hard. He's dropped over 100lbs.
AnonI wouldn't mess with tren just yet until you've tried other stuff because our bodies develop a tolerance. I personally love EQ. Run for 16 weeks EQ at 750-800mg per week and Test e at a low dose of 250-300mg per week let the EQ do the work run the test e for 18 weeks two weeks past so you don't crash. Do 6 weeks of Var at the beginning then 50mg per day of Winstrol last six weeks with proper pct you have a killer cycle. Don't be too rush to jump on the tren train it will burn and cripple yiur cardio. Trust me if all you've run is test e add EQ check out Winstrol use other things before boarding the tren train. Good luck bro!
Awesome dude. My suggestion is to do heavy sets maybe a 5x5 routine to maintain muscle while you cardio your ass off 45 mins to 1 hr a day. Maybe try hiit cardio a coue days to switch it up
Wow!Fantastic job on the weight loss.How many calories are you getting a day?
Chaz32621Around 2, 500 protein is about 55% 30% carbs 15% fat cutting tho
I just put your stats into a bmr calculator(Basal Metabolic Rate).Your bmr is 2370 calories.That is how many calories your body would burn if you laid in bed and slept all day.If you did little to no exercise,you would need 2844 calories a day.I know you had a weight problem,but I don't think you are getting enough calories.For me,I was at a standstill with fat loss at 2500 calories.I figured out my bmr and multiplied by my activity factor and came up with about 3200.I started eating that.I put a little weight on for about 3 weeks and then my weight leveled out and started decreasing.I am leaner now than I have been in years.And that is with 3200 to 3600 or more calories a day.
Where'd you find this calculator?
I put a link to it a couple posts down.Here it is http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/social/cheryls-blog/
Hah! I see it now. Thanks for posting again bro
Chaz32621Damn really? I think whats hurting me the most is when I go to increase my calories and I gain weight i get really scared and rebound back to not wanting to eat alot and getting fat. Thats been my biggest problem however ive seen more results from the last 8 weeks of my test e then ive done all year besides my last cycle of it. Now when you did that increase in cals did your waist increase? I guess once you put the weight on and it started to come off your waist decreases as well?
My waist pretty much stayed the same.I can't guarantee it will be the same for you.I'm sure you kept pants of various sizes,just in case.lol But when I came of my blast,I'm older,I blast and cruise(trt),and all the water weight dropped off.I was in 34's at 212 lbs.Before I couldn't get into 34's unless I was 190 or less.Here is the link to the bmr calculator I use.It's the best one I've found. http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/social/cheryls-blog/
Chaz32621My biggest thing is where do i go now? I have my top two pack barley I can feel them slowly starting to define in, however I still hold alot of fat. Should i cut more while on cycle or should i be putting muscle mass on and getting bigger.
Also im 6'4 and wear a size 34 jeans
Really good changes man, you shouldn't worry about not being as jacked as some of these monsters on here they had to start some where too.
My question for you is where do you wanna go with this? Are we just taking things as they come or do we have a certain physique in mind?
If you wanted to go for more size I say why not with winter around the corner.. You won't be at any beaches.. Then cut the fat off when you near spring.
But I can also understand wanting to unpackage all of your hard work and see the results
Chaz32621Thanks man, ideally im looking for a physic like zyzz or jeff seid however I want about 20 30 pounds more of lbm. However both guys started at such a skinny weight and have such a different metabolism then i have myself. They where always the skinny type where i can just get fat lol. I also have a very big bone stucture well atleast a big rib cage. So im kinda stuck at a standstill I dont really wanna be massivle huge, however I want to make it look like I can lift with a shit on. I do a little now but I don't have the shreddedness I want some veins are starting to poke out of my legs which is great but not alot. So Ive kinda been just going with the flow and taking things how they come, is this a good way of doing things haha??
Zyzz was a serious ecto so being shredded like that wasn't too difficult for him but once he came off of gear he deflated like a balloon lol.. They could stuff their faces and not gain much fat.. In your case it sounds like you can put mass on easily and shredding will be difficult.. So I'd approach it a little differently.. You'll put mass on faster most likely so keep bulking (try to keep it lean for the most part) then start cutting down when spring starts coming and you should have some big gains by then.. Cutting now could be okay but if that's the look your going for you might as well keep pushing for mass instead of hopping back and forth between lean and bulky lean and bulky.. Just put the mass on then focus on staying lean.
