Nah mate, 8 weeks isn't long enough for enth. 10-12 weeks, that's what you'll need!
ya know, its a bit frustrating, on the topic of gear......ive done my research....put my time in on the forum reading HOURS worth of material....and honestly, when it comes to some stuff, i find i still have some simple beginner questions.....i always hold off askin thinkin somewhere, if i just keep searching i'll find my answer and i dont want to get flamed for asking......but damn...there are some serious contradictory statements and theories on here....in particular, im focusing much of my reading on PCT.....if i run gear, its going to be basic, simple, and incredibly safety conscious....i did my first cycle 6 years ago, and honestly, those gains kept me happy for YEARS....but now as i plan on stepping it up to something stronger, im VERY concerned with the post cycle.......its confusing what people say, about what to run DURING the cycle, nolva and ldex....just nolva.......or even nothing until pct starts then use just clomid......THEN the whole HCG thing....at this point im TOTALLY lost....lol......sorry, this is the nutrition forum, but i had a momentary vent as ive been reading ALLL DAY...lol
so today i start my new program.....its crazy how just 4 weeks of light work has made me FEEL so different already....its like my body is saying, "hey i remember that shit!! hell yeah!".....my posture is changing, my step is a bit quicker and i just feel tighter all around in general........and that was a just a "re-boot".....now i start 6 weeks of strength training......pix from today......down to around 162.....a lil less body fat as im noticing some vascularity in my upper abs and hip/groin area when i workout.....

my new motivational photoshop crop.......anything can be accomplished......sure, finding out the chic you wanted to marry would rather sleep with everybody in a 3 county radius helps a bit....but diet and dedication do play a small role too....lol

today was a workout day.......i went over Stems 2700 a lil bit....still trying to work everything out to really fine tune it.....
i can say that my food sources are quality though......only exception would be the choc milk and bagel post workout...but from everything ive read, thats not entireley a bad idea?????? thoughts??????
the working out is going great though...2nd week of my 6 week strength routine and my strength is coming back FASSSSST...the old muscle memory is kicking in in very predictable ways....my chest has always been a fast grower and already blasting through my prescribed weight ranges and having to tweek the program regularly....
most importantly...
I FEEEEEL ****ING GREAT!!!! thanks for the continued support all!!!!
Yeah PWO not great. Don't believe everything you read. A sweet potato, some brocolli and chick breast would be a better choice IMO.
Tell me about the vpx drink you had.
I wouild have had a more complex source of carbs closer to your workout too.
Glad to hear you are still up for it and getting results already. Kick ass, man!
this is where i get confused....i always thought immediately after working out u should be consuming high gly***ic carbs and proteing....thats why i chose the white flour bagel and chocolate milk.....choc milk has protein and sugar........i honestly cant see myself putting down the weights then eating a sweet potato and chicken....lol.....plus arent sweet potatoes lower on the gly***ic chart? i would have thought they would make a less than ideal choice for the immediate glycogen repla***ent needed post workout.....i could see adding to the following meal though.....
vpx is a protein shake......40 g protein and very little carb.....
if my post looks off im trying to view and comment from my phone....and its being a pain....lol
It's a bit old school thinking tbh. I prefer my immediate pwo meal to be a blended protein (whey, egg white & casein) and powdered oats. I only have the shake as it feels like a sweet treat. If I ran out I would have no quarms (sp) in eating a solid meal instead.
hmmmmmmmm....mental note taken.....so skip the immediate sugar dump and just eat some moderate range carbs in a nice whole food meal when i get home?
Yep, or a pro shake with some slow digesting carbs on the side. I eat again about 90 mins after my PWO.Quote:
