hey everyone, new to the forum. here goes..
five years ago i decided to take control of my health and lose weight. at 5'9 and 275lbs. i bought a treadmill and counted calories, including 5 calorie drinks. i ate the same food over and was sure to use the treadmill 4x my calorie intake. it worked, in 90 days i lost 90 pounds and i have kept it off this entire time!
the back story is when i am stressed, i know i crave sugar/bad food. i still indulge now and then but when i do i feel sick so it isn't often. i've always been able to eat a lot... like an insane amount. i can eat two large pizzas by myself and go, whats for lunch? i went to a doctor and started taking a b50 complex vitamin and phentermine. it really does help my appetite!!! i have taken that pill everyday since and i can tell you, if i skip that pill... there better not be food in sight.
about two years ago my long term girlfriend and i called it quits after almost 10 years. that being said i came to the conclusion about a year ago perhaps my test levels had fallen quite a bit due to a mild depression. i went to the dr, sure enough they were really low. the dr perscribed a 1.0 ml injection of testE once a week and i decided to get a gym membership. i started waking up every morning at 4:45am and trying 3-5 times a week to go to the gym. i do construction work daily so somedays, it's just too tax'ing on my body if i know the kind of work i have to do later on.
i should mention i am 35 years old, 5'9, and 172lb as of today. waist goes between size 30-34. i use the app 'fat secret' and record my weight daily and know certain foods i eat make my damn waist jump[corn beef or pizza... my two favorites] test levels as of today are 474. all blood work shows im healthy as can be according to doctors. dont smoke[never have]. i occasionally drink but during this focusing i am going to try really hard to have sobriety to make this happen.
now while my weight hasn't changed too much i can tell my muscle mass has and my arms are looking better, chest, shoulders, etc. however, i can't seem to get rid of the last bit of stubborn waist line(muffin top) and i have always wanted abs. i can get the center line, my top two, but thats it. i would like to keep the same frame, lose the muffin, gain muscle. i understand completely losing weight and gaining muscle dont work together, i do not want to be a bodybuilder, different goal entirely.
about 6 months ago i tried sarms and i must say, i was impressed! i have tried rad-140, lgd4033, sr-9009 and mk-677. i was having issues with my wrist due to moving a piece of furniture and nothing seemed to fix the sprain until i started taking the sarms! i do take a multi vitamin daily, bcaa's after training, and try to feed my body protein when i come home from the gym. i stay extremely hydrated to the point where i have tested for diabetes to be sure there is nothing wrong with my thirst. i think i just sweat it out (its not uncommon for me to drink 2-3 gallons of fluid a day).
a few weeks ago i finally said, 2020 = new me again!
i ordered testE, dball, clen, and for the end some clomid. i am hoping it lands before the first of the year.
my routine as of right now is this:
wake up, take a hyde preworkout and wash down my phen and b50. go to gym, come home, take bcaas and some sort of protein, go to work.
after dinner i take my multivitamin(plus a zinc pill because im around dust/demo debris... could be bullshit but works for me). on sundays after a shower i take the perscribed test amount.
i am trying to figure out the best time frames to really make this achieve my goals and my best me. some times say timing doesnt matter however its been my experience with everything in life- timing is everything.
so my questions are:
inject the higher level of test every 3 days to keep consistency or just twice a week?
i am likely going to take the dball 3x a day, thoughts?
best times to take the four sarms? (recap- RAD-140, SR-9009, MK-677, LGD-4033)?
spacing of clen will likely have to be in the late afternoon as i do not plan to stop the phen
recap goals:
lose muffin, shed body fat to show muscle without losing muscle, gain smalll amount lean muscle
foods:
i am an extremely picky eater, to the point where foods touching/certain colors i just dont do.
that being said my diet basically consists of plain hamburgers with just bbq sauce, plain chicken breast, turkey tacos[turkey meat, soft shell, chipotle sauce... thats it]
about once a week ill eat a cheese pizza or a frozen pasta meal
protein pancakes, potatoes, rice, protein bars, protein cookies
thats it... thats literally all i eat you are missing nothing
workout plan:
lifting 3-5 days a week
min 20m cardio
min 10 sauna on gym day
busting out treadmill before dinner
some youtube ab workouts
id appreciate any positive advice from people with experience. i always try to help people in my trade because i remember someone helping me when i didnt know or did not have in depth knowledge. if theres more missing info you need, just let me know! i do plan to record the results just not sure if i want to video or photography, i know when i lost the weight on the treadmill five years ago it was a huge huge motivator! cheers
