Currently sitting around 100kg/20%bf at 6ft1 and considering my first baby cycle at age 37. Basically looking to lean out but get strong (the impossible dream?)
Preliminary plan is 250mg test a week over two doses and around 3k clean calories. I average around 12k daily steps and have recently implemented 20 mins stairmaster as a warm up for most sessions. Recent bloods were fine.
What can I realistically expect? Worried about just ballooning up into a big fat mess from the gear.
Steroids are for building muscle.
20% is not s good place to be to start using gear. Side effects you may have from the test may be amplified by high BF.
Drop down to the 10-12% range and then think about using AAS.
I’ll repeat. Steroids are for building muscle. They do not burn fat. The only reason you would cycle them in a cutting phase is if you were very lean a trying to retain muscle.
How long have you been lifting weights? This highly impacts what you will get from adding exogenous testosterone.
You should always include your lifting history and how strong you are, or have been. Both is better if there is a difference, with an explanation of why you are currently weaker today.
About all I can say is to work on the basics of weight training. Your training needs to focused on strength.
It would be nice if you were doing that weight for 10 reps on the squat and bench press.
Within a year, you can hope to make a 10% strength improvement, especially if you had low endogenous testosterone.
What you achieve in body composition is all about your diet and whatever additional calories that you can burn. But you should make the fat loss slow and steady
It’s slightly more calories than that total, but nonetheless, it’s a bit heavy in fat. Folks will split hairs over protein and carb intake, but what I can assure you is that your fat intake is very high for a cutting scenario.
It’s nearly impossible to gain weight on chicken breast and rice….
When I peaked last year, my high carb days were between 800 and 1000, protein at 1.25 grams per pound of lean mass and very very little fat and I was able to cut on that level of calories at 212 pounds.
track calories accurately, stay consistent in the gym, and don’t skip cardio. I could be wrong but you could lose weight just by cutting the 2800 calories you are eating and upping your protein. Someone will correct me I’m sure, but you should be eating around 2300 calories to lose
