I'm 27, skinny-fat ectomorph (if that's a real thing), 185 lbs, ~18% BF, 6 ft. 500mg test/wk
If I carefully watch my carbs in relation to energy output, keep my protein high and my fats low, will I have success building lean muscle while reducing body fat? (Keep in mind I do a fair amount of compound lifts + body weight exercises in a week, also I try to run 20 min of good pace 5-7 times/wk, or bicycle)
I've successfully gone from 18-19% bf to 13-14% bf in two months, but I was hugely calorie deficient. Mostly ate protein and fibrous carbs (raw vegetables). I went from being a big fat guy to having a six pack, but I lost probably as much muscle mass as I did fat (~15 lbs total), so I was skinny and weaker (But still looked good, underwear model-ish)
Of course, I ****ed up and gained back a large amount of fat in my belly, sides, and tits.
That being said, I just lifted probably my best workout tonight, breaking a PR on leg press and hitting close to PR on bench fairly easily. But I look like an accountant with my shirt off.
I'll admit.. my diet sucked ass now that I think about it. I watched that milos sarcev video and he explains it so well.. I was eating carbs then sitting around for hours doing **** all. And I won't even mention how much dairy fat I was eating...
So.... anyone with similar body type lose BF% while gaining lean mass on a 12 wk 500 mg test e/wk cycle? Tell me how you did it and things that will help me
