Cutting cycle 8 weeks out

[Tkc0mand3r]

Alright, I am 95% positive I'm going to do a competition finally and I wanted to make sure my cutting cycle was mastered because I do have a lot of fat to cut. I'm 21 years old 5'11 226lbs and around 15% bf (I know high for 8 weeks but its a test run). I'm doing 30 minutes morning cardio everyday and 30 minutes post-workout which I train 5 days a week. My diet is protein = bodyweight, moderate carbs (150-300g) and never eating direct fat sources (pb, almonds). Well here it goes, I really want to expect good fat loss and keep my size if not harden up and put some more muscle on as well.

Weeks 1-8 250mg/week Sustanon 250
Clen 20mcg 2 weeks on/2 weeks off
Epistane 20mg ED last 4 weeks

I've been cutting fat for about 6 weeks now with just Sustanon 250mg a week. I need to cut a lot more, but I'm also a college student so I need the energy to study so I tend to eat more carbs then I should. Should I throw in OxyElitePro so I have the energy to go about my day? I don't want to do much higher doses of these compounds besides Clen if I react well I will bump up. I just want to get a feel of what might come of this I can include a daily diet example with my staple supps if needed.

Thanks for any help guys I really appreciate it!

you are not taking in enough protein.... 1.5-2.0 g protein/lb bodyweight

you should be taking in between 339g-452g of protein daily

Ok I try for around 250-275 I'll bump it up for sure. What about losing fat though? And the cycle? Watching video now

[upperhandy]

if you head over to the nutrition section you will find a ton of stuff about cutting fat

8 weeks out. and that bf% i dont see u coming in sharp.

i think u need to look at another comp further down the track and hire a trainer. this will take out the guess work and u can learn alot from them

Here is my daily diet on a training day and staple supps.

Keep in mind I'm away at college with only a microwave/fridge and the meal timing is basically around my classes and studying schedule

Wake up: 20mcg clen 30 minute cardio
Meal #1: 1 cup egg whites, 1 cup oats
2 opti-men, 2 fish oil, 2 CLA, 10mg Epistane, Milk thistle
Meal #2: Zero Impact Bar, 1 piece fruit
BCAA's while training - 1 hour weights, 30 minute cardio
Meal #3: Post-workout 2 scoop whey shake, 1 piece fruit
Meal #4: 6 oz. grilled chicken, 1 cup rice, 1 cup veggies
10mg Epistane
Meal #5: 6 oz. oz chicken or beef, 2 pieces whole wheat bread (I make it like a sandwich), 1 cup veggies
Meal #6: 2 scoop whey or if I have casein with 8 oz. skim milk

With sust 250 1cc a week, gallon or more of water each day and coke zero with most meals. Its not my ideal diet but what I can get my hands on.

Let me know if you think I will lose an adequate amount of fat to atleast look good for the summer or what I can tweak, forget the comp for now! Thanks everyone!

like you said above... that is max like 200-250g protein... not nearly enough...you need to add like another 16oz meat in there or 12oz + another shake

i would add all of this into the calorie counter over at livestrong and report the results back... this looks like maybe 2500-2750kcal and you should prob be aiming for 3000kcal

what's your bmr and tdee? i think you can calculate that over at livestrong too...

Protein demands should be figured off of lean body mass not bodyweight.

Good luck on this one.Sounds like you let yourself go to much.But on the brightside theres always powerlifting

[jpowell]

imo, there is alot of things wrong here. def need to do the diet over. def need to post pone ur show. continue to train hard n prep but go for a further put show. ull need to cotrol those carbs. if i were u, id switch carbs and fats. that wat ull have fats fueling u throughout the day n burn. myself, im taking m 361 pro, 161 fats, and 82 carbs. working on losing my lower stomach as our stats are quite close. a trainer will def help u out.

anyone phased by the fact he is only 21 and really shouldnt be cycling at all

[AD]

i guess preparing for a comp trumps that (his age)...and the fact that he is already on cycle

not the perfect scenario

[Tkc0mand3r]

Ok interesting, the reason the carbs are that high is because like I said being in college demands me being focused throughout the day for class and studying which is almost impossible without some. I have a "coach" at my gym who writes up my macros. If I knew how to post some pics I'd show you guys I'm in no way interested in powerlifting lol. Let me ask this differently what SHOULD I EXPECT from this diet/cardio/cycle

Diet: Day 1: 250 protein, 300 carb Day 2: 275 protein, 150 carb Day 3: 300 protein 0 carb Repeat
Cardio 30 minutes morning fasted, 30 minutes post-workout
Sust 250 1cc/week, 20mcg clen 2 weeks on/2 weeks off, 20mg Epistane ED
Opti-men, Fish oil, CLA, Milk thistle

Forget the comp and all that, anything you see that could easily be tweaked or fixed?
