Looking for educated opinions or experiences regarding getting back into it

Thanks mike and almost gone. That was along the lines my buddy who is a PA and myself were thinking. The other aspect of it that I was thinking the other day is just incase these levels start to get a little on the higher side, I imagine running test prop would be the better option so that I can stop and it can vacate the system ASAP?

As for the adding more calories not aas solution, I think the others missed the part where I said I like lean gains. I know it is hard work and I have already went from 150lbs post coma (+2 cranioplasty's) to 5'9" at 175 lbs approximately 13% BF 2.5 years later. That is about 153lbs of LMM, so to maintain is approx 2300 cals. I am not trying to blow up like a balloon, I don't need to. 2800-3000 cals is more than enough to keep adding lean weight towards 185 natty. On test I will of course increase the cals.

Are your macros the same on training days vs non training days? What type of training high volume or high intensity/failure sets?

Where are you gettting this information? You need to eat more to grow, period. AAS wil NOT ACCOMPLISH your goal at that caloric intake.

What are your exact macros at 2800-3000 calories?

How long are your workouts?

What's your daily step count?

...out of curiosity.

Hi Narkissos, thank you for you patience regarding your question, I wanted to reply earlier but was busy on a summer tasking.



That's a close estimate of my macros. I have increased my sweet potato intake to 2 cups. I also have a great value ice cream sandwich on workout days that I forgot to add in. They are small @ 5g fat, 12g sugar, 111 cals.
My breakfast is actually split into 2 portions, I do the eggs when I wake up, have my black coffee, then eat the rest at about 10 am.

for workouts I do a 10-15 rom/HR warm up, then about 20 to 30 mins of a compound movement, then 10-20 mins of metabolic conditioning at high intensity, and 10 min cooldown. I workout every other day. I tried to add back to back days into my routine like before but it creates too many tbi symptoms. So I am sticking with EoD. I do yoga, walks, or light rom work on off days. I don't really track my steps.
