Cycle Exp: None!
PCT Knowledge: PCT?

I know I am pretty small for 18 years and 6 feet tall, but I am working on it!

I am really interested in "clen /t3" but I cannot find a good explanation as to what that is except for some really technical looking descriptions, if anyone could point me towards an easier to understand and more complete source, I would really appreciate it!

Also, if you could give me a quick BF estimate, that would be great =]

I would steer clear of both clen and t3. At your stage of development you need neither. You're not fat, but not muscular. Concentrate on learning how to diet (eat properly) and your training regimen. You've got a long ways to go. This is a lifestyle, it takes time.

This stickie will help you with learning how to properly structure you diet to meet your goals.

So you wanna learn how to Diet?

Thanks for the advice.

I have been focusing more on cardio and dieting in the last year, should I be focusing on building muscle more?

I really don't want to be a body builder, but I want a body that I can be proud of. What do you suggest?

Keep up the cardio and dieting. Not dieting to lose fat, but healthy eating dieting.

Focus on building muscle. Your frame drastically needs some. If you are having trouble gaining weight, make sure you are getting your protein and up your calories!

I would focus on adding more lean mass. You really need more IMO. Having more mass will burn more resting calories helping you stay lean. And it will improve your overall shape. Cardio is a good thing along with a good weight lifing regimen. Focus on your diet and you will be good to go.

No need to try to look like me, I know Im over the top for many. But adding some muscle will do you good overall.

How do I "up my calories" without gaining weight? Should I be eating more calories just to burn them off? I am confused.

You NEED to gain weight man. You are scrawny!

Just eat clean and do proper cardio and weight training and you will gain "good" weight (muscle) rather than "bad" weight (fat).

Spend some time and read this stickie. A great tutorial on dieting. Everything you need to know.

Remember, diet and training. It doesn't appear that you even lift weights. You don't want that look I assume. If you don't have proper training down, research that as well.

Thanks a lot for the help guys! I will watch those video's in the sticky later tonight or tomorrow.

I hope all works out for you. Remember this is a lifestyle, not just bodybuilding, but fitness. Consistency is very important. Eat right and train and you will change the body into what you want it to be. We are always a work in progress.
