New to the board and just back from iraq
I just got back from Iraq and realized after my body went to shit out there its time to get back in the game. I need some advice on what I can do to lean up ( a lot) and get my muscles back. I used to workout a lot in college and did a cycle and since i joined the army i have lost my muscle mass, gained beer mass, and got a lil thicker than wanted....After being in iraq and not being to maintain a healthy body, I am looking to get my muscle hardness back, trim up , and get a LITTLE bit of size.. Im 6'4 , 250 pounds. I definately have fat that i need to burn off, but am very limited with my cardio due to breathing problems that stemmed from being over there. Any advice on products, exercises , or anything would be appreciated...feel free to pm me to if you want.. THanks

Do they let you train at all while you're on active duty?

7COCU7, you can train on active duty, it's encouraged, but most can't in a combat zone unless your a base bunny, you try to get 4hrs of sleep a night and the work isn't office work... Welcome home vinyl, i came home in sept, what's your MOS?

Now, as far as fat burners or anything that would assist with losing weight and being limited to cardio, i know winstrol is harder to get ahold of , but something like T3 or Clen is that something that u can get offline or does it fall in the category of winstrol and other anabolics....If that question cant be asked , i apologize, im just trying to figure out what i need to help me out

Glad you make it home soldier!
Hell with that place man! What a SH%$ hole,
I too was deployed in IRAQ.
I was there for the initial insurgency, late feb 2003 till Aug 2003. my unit piggy backed with the 101 north and we settled "Bilad" or better know as "Camp Anaconda"
I was injured and medevaced back to the states and in Physical therapy for a year at Ft. Campbell. My back is still screwed, but if you want a decent cycle and diet info you can check out my post here below.
Finishing up! My 2nd cycle results
Although if you have never juiced before I don't really recommend the test, but definately stanzonol and Primoject / Primobol will get you nice and lean and you'll pass your tape test. But only if you work at it bro.. And you know what I mean, I was an MFT(I) (Master Fitness Trainer / Instructor) for the Army so you know I can guide you and give you a "fatboy plan" as we called it. Just jokin with ya, but seriously hit me up and we'll see what we can do.
Kinda curious, how did you possibly gain weight over there? Are you Airforce? No offense? LOL

Hey man I am in the sandbox right now so I know exactly what you went through. Start doing cardio even if its every other day for about an hour along with your normal squad/section pt. Don't start off to strong or you will get burnt out just let your body adjust to getting back into the gym. Good luck with your board!

Hey man thanks for the response....as far as anaconda that was what we pretty much called home, our motorpool was in Tallil, but we did 90 percent of our missions to anaconda, the rest to najaf and fallujah...some to tikrit..i came back as well medevac'd cause i had lasik surgery before i deployed and my eyes got damaged due to one too many ied blasts, my night vision is pretty much shot now. as far as any work out plans or anything , im very open to suggestions...The only thing is though as stated early is, i cant do a lot of cardio cause of respitory problems i obtained while i was over there, and im having knee surgery at the end of this month....and i didnt necessarily gain weight over there,i just lost a lot of muscle mass and obtained a lot of water... i have slow metabolism as it is, now with my breathing problems and my knee, its hard to just naturally burn off fat....i have a very strict diet, and do what i can to work out,....just out there we ran convoys 20 + hours a day , and without the right diet or sleep, my body just went to shit.

Thanks for serving bud! I did 8 active and training was very challenging when deployed every other dam month. I tried to make friends with guys who had extra storage space on hmmv's and get them to lug out dumbells for me, the rest of the shit we'd make or "borrow" from the seabees. Cutting weight is just that- Do your cardio, watch your intake and if you can..take a little help. I used to do a lot of swimming in the ocean, I felt like it didn't eat up too much muscle and it really shaved the weight off. Good luck with your board!

I'm pretty new here, but from what I've seen there's plenty of info here on the boards-I don't know where you're stationed, but, if you are down south close to the border there's very little you can't find in Mexico. If you're elsewhere I would encourage searching the boards, I've used the search feature and have found it very helpful. Maybe search "clen /sten/whatever" + "geographic area". With this said I would be very careful, some commanders are pretty lax and spend there time hanging and leveling picture frames in their offices, some however like to micromanage and can get a real hard-on for you if they see a quick change in body composition. Peace and good luck.

Straight outta porkchop platoon huh? lol I was in Afghanistan 3 years ago...not pretty. At least you got 3 hots and a cotton, we didnt, MRE's 3 times a day and sleeping bags!!! As far as you gut goes, well nothing will shedd fat without PT, but an ECA stack or clen /t3 will help and is legal.

If we got real hungry we climbed out the trucks to the belly box to get an mre as we were going 60 mph through iraq somewhere...And sleeping bag...ya thats what we had to. spent the majority of the time out there sleeping under or on our trailers. Thx for the response though people, now i might be able to start getting somewhere. I have my knee surgery tomorrow so im gona be out of it for a couple days.
