Fat burning cycle? your opinion
OK. Before I have replies with the "standard" answers, keep in mind that I am an experienced and well-educated user.
For Endomorphic-Mesomorphic body types a solid muscle build but too much fat as a result of a period of unclean eating (while still training) and genetics -- a combination that will guarentee extra fat.
I am wondering whether a cycle geared toward fat burning, high androgen high anabolic moderate dose 12-15 weeks. Resistance Training regiment stays at maintainence level (3 sets, incrementing to max with 8 reps) @ 2-3x week. Cardio training at 5 days/wk 1-2x per day at low intensity. Diet stays very clean and strict, obviously -- MAINTAINENCE LEVEL - 15% or roughly 3000 for someone my size... consisting of 40% from protein, 50% carbs, 10% fat. This is adjusted off-norm taking into consideration the anabolic/androgen boost.
The goal of this cycle is to maintain muscle with slight-moderate gains while achieving the real goal of melting the fat off the muscle without loosing the muscle with it.
I am currently at 235-240 lbs, goal is to drop 20-25 lbs while meeting the goals listed above. 15% of maintainence calories each day is 600 calories about... over 100 days, that is 60000 calories.. each pound of fat is 3600 calories. Ideally (not even close to realistically) 20 lbs of fat is 72,000 calories. Of course, in the real world, we burn energy, not fat. Even with the anabolics, we're gonna loose muscle, so this seems about accurate.
Even though this might be thought of as a waste of a cycle, I'm still going to put the idea out there.
T3, clen, dnp has all resulted in muscle loss as well as a varying rebound.
So, what do ya'll think.
