Body recomp update....quite the transformation

Status
Not open for further replies.
All,

I wanted to give update on how things are going as I made some major changes almost exactly 6 months ago. Prior to this I was very untrained and was carrying a lot of unnecessary fat. I typically would never recommend running a cycle when body fat is above 15%, but the added motivation and muscle sparing effects were perfect for this process. Finally getting much more visible vascularity while at the same time increasing strength and size. I’m at the end so will be starting PCT soon, then very late fall I’m all set for a focus on more on increasing muscle where I won’t be in the constant moderate m calorie deficit. I do have a before pic, but it’s at a bad angle and am actually embarrassed I let myself lapse so much. Never again as I have so much more energy and well-being in addition to losing the classic dad bod. I’ll post a better pic without shirt to show the entire upper body and will also show the wheels in a few weeks, as my conditioning is still in progress.

500 mg Test Cyp weekly, 600-700 mg EQ Weekly. I ended up dropping the EQ 4 weeks ago mainly because my estrogen levels were quite low. AI was on hand but never needed it. Since dropping EQ, libido went through the roof and seemed to be getting better strength and size gains. Removing also will allow me to start PCT a bit earlier as my understanding is EQ remains active in your system for at least 3-4 weeks after last pin.

Sorry for the grainy pic…not very good at taking selfies haha. Overall I have dropped 30 lbs of deadweight.

Man been working like crazy! Lol still been hitting the gym hard tho! I stopped cutting weight tho cause I got to 186 and I just looked really skinny and was feeling pretty drained so I’ve just been eating at a surplus to try and help out metabolism plus I need a break after cutting for the last 11 months. It was just wearing on me and feeling like I was starving to death was really effecting me
 
I cut for like 12 out of 14 months now I started really fat. But when it came time to bulk I blew up. Now all good weight. But I’m 30 pounds above when was lowest in November. And maybe as lean or leaner so don’t be surprised to put in some decent mass
 
So I’m now down almost 35 lbs but have put on a decent amount of size (and maintained what muscle I still had) even though on a ~750-1000 calorie deficit. This took a lot of guts as I am quite embarrassed looking back how bad of shape I was actually in. This time period spans from 1-2-2021 to present (6-25-2021). Still have some conditioning to get my body fat where I’d like to get where abs are clearly visible. Primary workouts was a combo between a modified “Bro split” to most recently a PPL split where I now hit each muscle group at least twice a week. Also below is my weight loss as tracked on a smart scale for this time period.

Probably going to maintain for awhile, before doing another slightly less of a caloric deficit to help add on more size more effectively.

Be gentle…LOL. Will get legs in a pic but had enough trouble getting the auto camera to work for this one. 😂

Thanks! Just to clarify I was at most on a 1000 calorie deficit which is subtracted from my basal metabolic rate (~2500 calories) + activity factor. I was quite active easily burning 1000-1500 per day, so for food intake I was taking in about 2500 calories per day to put me in that deficit. Kept protein at minimum 1 gram per body weight and ate lots of lean meats and vegetables to help to always feel full. Definitely did not want to crash my metabolism by decreasing calorie intake too much.
 
That sounds alot better my bad I misunderstood.

That’s still amazing run and transformation im very impressed and im coming back for the crown lol just playing brother you look amazing
