I weigh 251 right now and I have lost weight from 273 a few months ago. My main changes have been less carbs and cut out all cokes drink a ton of water and smaller portions with 30 min cardio 4 times a week on a bike and absolutely no fast food. When I returned from Afghanistan in 2006 I weighed 200 lbs and looked like I was sick, my build has always been a little bigger even with low body fat, Best estimate right now is mid 30 body fat Im 5-10. I had a torn labrum from a motorcycle crash in april and have been cleared by the doc for 3 months to work out and am fully released now. My goals are to gain muscle mass lower fat % and get much much stronger. I dont want mild gains I want to go beast, I know this body transformation even with a little help will take truly years to accomplish. I have some work out plans, and a workout partner that ive know for years. He used to play some college ball and is going to let me join him with his work out. I am about to start the transition to weights and after a few solid months of training I think Ill want to start a cycle. Is this the right way to go about it or should I continue cardio harder and then when im around 230 or so hit the weights. in my mind i think of the muscle as an engine burning the fat so more muscle means more fat burnt in a work out and more fuel to build muscle. Is this wrong? I dont want to be a body builder for competition I just want to push myself to higher limits and maybe take it from there. Im not going to ask anyone here where to get it ... but ive asked around and not had any luck, maybe when I start the weights ill find a gym rat or someone who will help me out. I really dont feel comfortable with the whole online order because I really just dont trust any site that advertises and I could easily find on google... if they really where selling it would be to easy to be caught that way. I also dont want to take some unknown pill that could just be saw dust.... I guess read it over and tell me what yall think , thanks
