Group,
A good buddy of mine has recently lost 70lbs in 6 months! I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of him.
He lifts 5-6 days a week with a trainer and has a good diet. He does 30 minutes of cardio 7 days a week.
He's not looking to be a ripped bodybuilder, but has hit a plateau of weight loss.
His Stats:
41yo
6'4"
270lbs (down from 340lbs)
I advised him to see an endocrinologist and gave him a list of blood markers to get checked. Everything came back great, including TSH, T-3, and T-4. His total and free testosterone was on the lower end of normal, but within normal limits. The endocrinologist said he wanted to see if his testicles would be stimulated by prescribing clomid vs. HRT with the idea of trying to fix his low test vs. treating with test for now.
I know T-3 supplementation can raise metabolism
I know that Clen will also help shed bodyfat
I know that diet and cardio are key
I have created a diet diary to log each item that goes in his mouth. It's essentially listing the macros of protein, carbs, sugar, fiber, and total calories. I have stressed to him how important protein is and that he needs to keeping track of getting at least 1G of protein per lb/body weight per day. I am asking him to weigh and measure everything he consumes at each meal.
1. At what point should he consider adding Clen and/or T-3 into his supplement regiment? (If you have a high bf%, will he benefit at all?)
2. Would any of the known testosterone compounds be of benefit yet? (since his bf% is still high)
Thoughts?
