I want to be a real boy!!!

Hunger is back today with a vengeance, after 4 straight days of lower calories. I'm going to take this as a signal that my body is ready to proceed.

But, I'm going to go a bit more moderate on the food going forward, and making adjustments daily if needed to stave off that bloated/full feeling. I'm going to stick a few soeedbumps in that road.

Do you have a specific number you want to drop your cals/macros to or just gonna stop when you feel full?

I jumped the calories up too quickly the last few weeks, I got greedy/stupid. I bumped up something like 600 Cals. I'm just going to go back closer to the prior amount, where there was a good balance of weight gain and feeling good.

I have a running total of my weekly weights and Cals on the very 1st post of this thread.

Quick turnaround for the bloodwork. As expected, the Tren did a number on the lipids, even at only 50mg EOD(175mg/wk).

Cholesterol now at 259 fasted, last test a few months ago was 209 NON-fasted, about a year ago it was 178 fasted.

HDL now 31, was 45 a few months ago NON fasted, and 48 about a year ago fasted.

LDL now 210, was 128 a few months ago NON fasted, and 115 about a year ago fasted.

Hematocrit also went up a bit to 50.5 from 48.8

Weekly Update:

Spent the last week+ eating at a more realistic calorie level, to clear out the excessive bloat that I had. Dropped 2.8 lbs this week to 202.3. But that's still up 1.6 lbs from 4 weeks ago, before I started pushing the Cals too much, too quickly. Lesson learned, didn't like it, how I felt, how I looked, how I moved, nothing. BP also dropped 5 points (systolic) from dropping the bloat.

3438 Cals
360g C
256g P
108g F

The gym feels great, unbelievable amount of energy and stamina. I'm probably doing too much at this point. Not sure if I should push the volume since I'm able to, or just ride out what I was doing? I'm recovering from workouts in 2 days, max. Except hamstrings, those fukkers get SORE!

Also added in two 15 minute LISS cardio sessions during the week. I've basically done ZERO dedicated cardio training the last 5 months.

Quick update pics. Still have some bloat and gained some bodyfat, but still acceptable for being up 21 pounds. Nothing that'll be a bitch to lose.

Pics admittedly aren't great, bad lighting, and it's hard to flex and take a pic at the same time, especially the back pics. The back looks much, much better in real life, there's a lot more meat on it now.

Weekly Update:

Down 0.5 lbs to a 201.8 lb average this week.
3901 Cals
406g C
250g P
140g F

Failing at this weight gain thing. Upped the Cals almost 500 over last week, still lost weight, and the weight loss ACCELERATED as the week went on. Only 200.6 this morning. Crazy shit!

I do feel more solid though, even with the weight loss. Lost 3mm of fat from the stomach and 2 mm from the chest from my last measurements 2 weeks ago. Thigh measurement was unchanged. Maybe a slight recomp happening?

Going to up the Cals this week, hoping to hit 4250 Cals average, see what happens. I think I'll do it mainly with having a few glasses of whole milk per day. I've dropped most of the bloat, feeling better, moving better, so I'd like to keep it that way.

Gym is going great, feeling strong and dialed in on my exercises, really feeling the muscles working. Taking most working sets to 1 shy of failure, then technical failure on last set, if an appropriate/safe exercise to do so. Recovering extremely well, feel ready to go 2 days later. Hitting everything 2-3 times per week.

I did reintroduce LISS cardio about a week and a half ago. Nothing crazy, just 2 fifteen minute sessions per week on the bike, keeping HR in the 120's.

Aere you suggesting that 2 lbs in 2 months isn't a lot? :32 (18):

But yeah, 175mg/week. I don't hate it, but the NPP was better for weight gain.
