As low as you can possibly get it. # Full Abs

Ok thank you

I’m 34 6’2 268lbs. I do 4-5 days of weightlifting and roughly and hour of cardio per week. Would 2500 calories be enough to cut weight pretty quickly

It’s high. Does a specific number really matter?

Please try to keep it to just one topic here.

Ok will do i’m sorry

10

How do I delete any pictures that show my full face?

There is no way to answer this question without knowing what you are currently eating and what you weight is doing. One could only guess.

This is never a good idea.

12

Haven’t you asked this question 3x already?

You’re 40%+ bodyfat.

Drop 60lbs and then do all the steroids you want.
Or, just take a bunch of test now, grow some big ole tits, still be fat, then come back asking how to get a breast reduction surgery.

Start with 2500cals daily. Hold yourself to it like your life depends on it, then see what the scale does after a week of this.

Calculate your daily caloric intake to maintain your current weight, and then aim to adjust your diet to consume 500-750 calories a day less. Many people have found, and research supports, that too aggressive of calorie restriction of 1000+ below maintenence caloric intake often is counterproductive because it makes your body think it’s in starvation mode and the system responds by holding onto weight more aggressively in turn.

To calculate your weight maintenance daily calories and determine how many calories you need to lose weight, you can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Your BMR is the number of calories your body burns at rest, accounting for basic functions like breathing and digestion. A common formula to calculate BMR is the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:

• For men:
BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age (years) + 5

• For women:
BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age (years) − 161

  1. Factor in Activity Level

Multiply your BMR by an activity factor to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight.

Activity levels:

• Sedentary (little or no exercise): BMR × 1.2

• Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): BMR × 1.375

• Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): BMR × 1.55

• Very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): BMR × 1.725

• Super active (very hard exercise, physical job, or training twice a day): BMR × 1.9

  1. Calculate Calories to Lose Weight

To lose weight, you generally want to create a caloric deficit by eating fewer calories than your TDEE. A deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories per day is common for weight loss of about 1-2 pounds per week, which is considered a safe and sustainable rate.

• Moderate deficit: TDEE − 500 calories (to lose about 1 lb per week).

• Aggressive deficit: TDEE − 1,000 calories (to lose about 2 lbs per week).

Example:

• Weight: 228 pounds (103.4 kg)

• Height: 6’0” (183 cm)

• Age: Let’s assume 30 years old

• Activity level: Moderately active

• BMR = 10 × 103.4 + 6.25 × 183 − 5 × 30 + 5
BMR ≈ 2,050 calories/day

• TDEE = BMR × 1.55
TDEE ≈ 3,178 calories/day

Calories to lose weight:

• Moderate deficit (500 cal): 3,178 − 500 = 2,678 calories/day

• Aggressive deficit (1,000 cal): 3,178 − 1,000 = 2,178 calories/day

Dunno that there is a set figure, mostly it would depend on your health and your goals, and the cycle you want to run. A low dose test cycle during a cut wouldn’t be horrible. However wouldn’t suggest trying to put on 20lbs of muscle if you’re 20%+ BF

15

I just had blood work the only thing that was off, was my cholesterol it was high. I would like to mainly just strip bodyfat and keep what muscle I have.

16

Low dose like 250-300

Gear isn’t going to help you with that. That’s what everyone’s saying.

Okay then:

Send it, dude. You’re a grown ass man, do what the fuck you want.
Just don’t fool yourself into thinking this is going to make a huge difference.

There is no shortcut. Something you’ll realize after you’ve shut down your balls and grown some tits.

The better question is what strength level are you at before starting steroids? If you’re into classic weightlifting you should have at least 2 years of lifting under your belt and be in the intermediate 1rm category. If you’re ‘just’ bodybuilding then you should also have a couple of years under your belt and a physique to show that you actually lift weights.

The good news for you is that you are fat and completely untrained, effectively a novice in every aspect and have tons of room to grow no matter your goal without using anything other than creatine.

Learn how to properly train (not exercise but train), get you bodyfat down to at least 15%, and come back in two years for advice on cycling steroids. In the meantime start a public training log which will help hold you accountable to your goals and where you can receive good training advice from knowledgeable members.
