Old guy making a comeback...

[tbody66]

Okay, I mis-quoted my own thread. On 9/01/10 I was 31.8% bf, on 10/01/10 I was 22.2% and now you are saying I'm between 15 and 17, so, that means I have lost between 15 and 17 percent bodyfat in three months. My weight has been consistent throughout, so let's just have some mathematical fun, shall we???

185lbs @ 32% bf = 125.8 lbm/59.2 lbs bf - one month later
185lbs @ 22% bf = 144.3 lbm/40.7 lbs bf 18.5 lbs lbm gain/18.5 lbs of bf lost - two months later
185lbs @ 17% bf = 153.6 lbm/31.4 lbs bf 9.3 lbs lbm gain/9.3 lbs of bf lost since last check if we use 185lbs @ 15% bf = 157.3 lbm/27.7 lbs bf 10 lbs lbm gain/10 lbs of bf lost

Even if I'm at the higher current bodyfat, let's look at three months results
27.8 lbs of muscle gained, 27.8 lbs of fat lost.
I understand there are several other factors, water retention, etc.... etc... etc..., but I'll take those results any three months of any year, how about you guys???

Yes, fantastic results so far. Just goes to show you what dedication to a solid, dialed-in diet and training program can do. I know plenty of guys, some of whom think they're 12-week progress is excellent, who've lowered their body fat just as well but didn't add any lean mass and in some cases, lost some. Therefore, they may have cut their bf% in half but they don't really look like bodybuilders. You, on the other hand, have thickened just about every trainable portion of your body and have the appearance, at 17%, of someone as low as 12% - when you look at it that way, it's a prime example of how being patient and using the fat burning properties of LBM as opposed to starvation is a better way.

Sick bro 27.8 is great! I would advise you to pick up your cardio game and try to get to a lower bf by the end of this cycle. If weight stays the same, we know muscle mass went up, and therefore the fat loss has to have come down. Let's assume 10lbs is water weight (safe side, probably more like 6), this means the rest is going to be muscle and fat loss mix.
If you were to hypothetically come off cycle tomorrow, and keep all of your gains from this cycle, all that you would lose would be 10lbs of water. Now this would put you at about 175lbs. Your bf% would go up slightly due to less mass and most of it coming from your muscles, but you would still be 10 lbs down and about half the bf% that you started from.
I would say end result now would be 175lbs at 17%bf.

PCT is tricky and this is why I said that you should try to lower your bf before the cycle ends; you will want to eat more to preserve the muscle you just gained. Eating more with low levels of testosterone (until it rebounds) is a perfect environment for fat gain. This is why low levels of bf are a good idea.

If you are on trt this is much easier, are you? If so then basically you will be able to keep much of what you end your cycle at.

How long is left in your cycle?
