Well, now that I'm back at home I figure it's about time I start my log! I just finished up a very successful bulk going from 220 up to about 270. Problem is I put on a lot more fat than I would have liked, so now it's time to start getting ready for the beach! I usually try to recomp, but given the amount of fat I need to lose I am going for a straight cut this go around.
Starting stats:
271.2
20.4% BF
Goal:
215
8% BF
In order to accomplish this I will have to lose about 38lbs of fat, and have room to lose up to 18lbs of muscle. I'm more worried about the BF% than my weight, so if I manage to maintain more LBM even better!! I would, however, like to get under 225lbs just for health reasons and because I'm on my feet all day, so less wear and tear on the joints.
As most of you know, I own Helios Nutrition so I will be doing my own diet. I won't be posting up too many details just for reasons of keeping some of my dieting secrets, secret. I will tell you that it is based off on intermittent fasting, but with my own take on it.
My training will consist of 5 days LISS cardio (45-60 minutes) and a 3 week cycle of lifting.
What I mean by 3 week cycles is this:
Week 1 - Compound at 6-10 reps
Week 2 - Compound and Isolation 8-12 reps
Week 3 - Compound and Isolation drop sets - 8-10 (drop weight 4 times = 1 set)
Repeat
Day 1 - Chest
Day 2 - Back
Day 3 - Arms
Day 4 - Shoulders
Day 5 - Legs
I would like to hit my goal by the beginning of May, but I don't want to rush it so we will see how that goes.
Right now I am on just a TRT dose of Testosterone but am planning on running an extended cycle starting early january. Most likely Test, Primo, Var, then taking a ride the Tren Train during March and April.
At the conclusion of my cycle I will go back on my TRT dose for 8 weeks or so, then try to do an HRT restart along the lines of Cashout's HRT Exit Strategy. I have been on TRT for 1 year now, so that will put me at about 20 months of being on Test. I'm hoping for the best as the wife would like babies at some point (which is why I'm coming off).
