    Big Guy, Big Steps

    Hi everyone!


    I have been trolling through this site for years, but have finally registered confident that this is the best site with genuine people (for the most part) wanting to interact within a community. Eager to learn and always happy to meet new people, I know i'm in the right place and hope that I can inspire others with knowledge and careful guidance and many of you do.

    Well, i'm 34 years old, originally from the UK but moved to Toronto, Canada, three years ago. I'm 6'2", 285lbs at aprox 24% body fat.
    Having been training on and off for 15 years, I have always eaten like I've been training which is most likely why i have put on so much weight and body fat.
    A single parent father, to a beautiful and intelligent two-year old daughter, I have to be the best role model i can be for her... plus i have the desire to be in the best shape I have ever been in my life... RIGHT NOW.

    I have done half a dozen courses, although admittedly not for seven or eight years, which includes test (various types), Sus, Deca, and more. I plan to take this very seriously and have my eyes on G.H., but I have to get there first.

    Am currently on my first course in a long time;

    Week 1 - 250ml Test. Eth./ Diet = No carbs, no sugar
    Week 2 - 250ml Test Eth./ Diet = No carbs, no sugar
    Week 3 - 500ml Test. Eth./ Diet = No Carbs, no sugar (i lost perhaps over 5% body fat, 2" off the waist, gained some good lean muscle/ good gains)
    Week 4 - 500ml Test Eth. / Diet = Carbs, minimal sugar (ONE WEEK ONLY), a cheat day saw me grow and i decided to continue carbs for a short while
    Week 5 - 500ml Test Eth. / Diet = Low carbs, no sugar (CURRENT WEEK)

    GYM
    I have been focusing on weaker areas for 5-7 sets, 4-6 reps
    Heavy weights 3-4 sets generally, in effort to maximise growth

    SUPPLIMENTS
    Vita Freak Vitamins
    Rivalus + Syntha 6 Protein blends
    Kaizen Whey isolate protein
    Cellucor D4 Fat burner
    L-Carnatine
    Plenty of water, coffee and green tea.

    PROBLEM HISTORY
    [LIST=1][*]I have suffered with gyno since being at school, and had a fat removal op when 18/19 years old. This was the beginning of my motivation for the gym, and although at times i suffer I believe that once I am in shape again I can re-evaluate my progress and areas to be worked.
    [LIST=2] My VO2 Max levels are poor, and so is my cardio (admittedly). This is something i have to work on, although it has slightly improved with reccent BJuiTjuitso classes, which has now stopped.
    1. My sleep is an issue, as I have always had a problem with.


    Please feel free to ask me any questions, i'm very calm and relaxed and won't bite (unless i'm gripping that cold hard steel in the gym).

    All advice, guidance and suggestions are welcomed and respected. I still consider myself a student of the gym and am always researching.

    This week I begin training with an old training partner, who has just started the same/ and first cycle ever (for him), so i look forward to my gains resulting from disciplined diet, training and nutrition.

    ALSO, thank YOU ALL for making this the best forum ever. I have never been so open anywhere or with anyone EVER, but this forum is the only place I feel comfortable and confident with in disclosing personal info in advance, believing that my trust will be rewarded.


    Your new guy on the block,

    Looking at your picture, I would guess you are a lot more than 24% body fat.
    Care to post up your diet on the no carb weeks? What inspired no carbs? This is silly in my opinion.

    AI? HCG? PCT?

    You might be right. I'm trying to add muscle, speed up metabolism and burn fat (through increased muscle, cardio and suppliments).
    I was 30% BF six months ago. The 24% may not be accurate but that was a reading given with a hand held analyser in the gym last week.

    My diet is high in protein and fat, almost no carbs and strictly no sugar. My body went through ketosis for over 2 weeks which was rough, but i ended up loosing a lot of weight (pre photo above).

    An example of my no carb diet would be:

    GYM at 7:15AM for an hour including Cardio at finish (powerball smashed, plank, etc)

    BREAKFAST
    170g Steak and a boiled egg
    Protein shake

    SNACK
    Protein shake

    GYM at lunch (twice a week for 40 mins)

    Lunch
    240g Chicken breast, stewed tomatoes with cumin and paprika
    Protein Shake

    snack
    Nuts (unsalted almonds, etc)

    Dinner
    Roast chicken + Veggies
    Protein Shake

    This is my most recent photo 4 days ago

    Mate, welcome. Agreed you are over 24%bf. a lot more. I'm surprised you are cycling with it being that high.

    Can you post your stats and diet plan in the nutrition forum? I have to say, despite your results, it's in need of some real work. Keto without regular refeeds is asking for muscle wastage.

    Can you post your cycle in the steroid q&a section too? Detail in its entirety including Any HCG, AI's and planned PCT.
