Help me transform my body please

**crazychapin** · 07-17-2008, 12:44 PM

I'm 26 year old and been going to the gym for about 2.5 years now
I'm a little bulked up but I still have a small beer belly and still kind of chuby
I never tried or know where to get steroids and I'm really considering trying
them, since I think I peaked my level on strenght with just protein, vitamins and creatine also tried fat burners and I want to see how far by body can go, so can someone lead me to the path to which steroids or supplements I should take so I can be ripped like this guy

Whats does your daily diet look like including all the macros? That's the most important.

I don't really believe in full body workouts multiple times per week as I believe in letting the muscle group rest longer than that.

HITT cardio is good but 10 or 20 minutes isn't going to do much. If you can maintain HITT cardio for more than that I would otherwise doing 45min-1HR EVERYDAY before any meals at a slower rate (65% max HR) will work better.

I dont really have a diet I just try to stay away from junk food

**StoneGRMI** · 07-17-2008, 01:04 PM

That could be a big problem. Must people that say they stay away from junk food really don't know the difference between healthy foods and junk foods. Also, when building muscle it's important to have the correct amounts of protein coming in at the correct times. If you put together a diet from the cutting sticky atop of the diet board we'll critique it. Once that diet is in place and you start a better cardio regime you'll melt away (while hopefully keeping muscle!).

Dude you need to get on a diet ASAP... dont even THINK about AAS till you have 6 months of full commitment training and dieting...

Not to worry though, youre in the right place... Read up on some example diets in this fourm, and check out what you want to do.. i.e. bulking, cutting, and just plain learning to diet...

start there, then put together a daily diet meal plan and post it for some helpful input... from that point, move on to lifting techniques and your workout regimens, btw, i agree with Stone, full body workouts have never worked for anyone i know...

personally, i stick to muscle groups at a time... Not to get into to much detail in the interest of time, but i like to do

Triceps
back
quads+calves
abs
biceps
chest
cardio 4days a week for about 20 mins...

I usually give myself 2 days off a week in order to let my muscles heal properly...

on top of that, my diet, is my religion and needs to be followed as such. You really need to bear down on it, its very very important. If you cant manage to stick with your diet when your not cycling, how in hell do u think youre gonna do it when your on? seriously bro, give yourself some time

Excellent advise.

Good advice for the most part. Look up some sample training because this ain't gonna work for you IMO. Spend a whole lotta time in the diet section because "I stay away from junk food" doesn't mean anything. If you want to look like that guy you've got to want it 100%. That means sacrafice my man.

Can someone tell me how many calories I have to take to start cutting?

Look at some of the diets posted. I am no expert, but from the amount of research i have done you are not ready for steroids . From the picture you still have alot of natural potential. Do what stone said and get your diet in check. Staying away from junk food is great but for cutting it will not help. There is also alot of junk food that is actually made at home that people think is okay to eat since its not fast food.
Good luck bro...

**crazychapin** · 07-18-2008, 09:02 AM

Is 2200-2400 calories alright?

**firmechicano831** · 07-18-2008, 09:44 AM

its all diet bro. Once u get ur diet and cardio in check u will see results. Gear won't do miracles for u or anyone else.

**firmechicano831** · 07-18-2008, 09:46 AM

Do cardio five days as week. Try to do 20 min minimum in the morning then 30 min in the afternoon. With a good diet u will see results within two weeks.
