Ok, so I'm giving this all I've got again. I've always been a gym rat but I have bad metabolism and a not consistent good diet so I'm on it. I got up to 17% BF a few weeks ago and up to 191 and was seriously about to give up on lifting all together. Got back on my diet and up'd my cardio and dropped down to 15.8%. I'm going to take it to the next level and short term goal hope to be down to 10-12% in 3 months. Long term goals will be 8 to 10% with in a year or so and to get a little bigger. But I would die happy if I could around 10% as my family is a bunch of fat asses and I genetically am destined to be to unless I stick with this. Having got back down to around 15% BF makes me want to work harder and get on my diet for real. I've got down to 14% at my lowest before but its been a long time. Pics are posted under my albums on my profile
Age: 24
Height: 5' 9''
Weight: 190
waist line: 37''
stomach: 38.5''
chest: 41.5"
arms: 15".
Basic diet is going to be about 2500 calories a day w/ 60 to 70% coming from protein and a split between fats and carbs on the remaining amount.

Im almost 2 weeks into a stack of Shotgun prework out and synthesize post work out and only take a mulitvitamin and zinc besides that. I will be starting a test cypionate cycle here a couple of weeks for 8 to 10 weeks and then phasing into tren and equipoise after that. but haven't figured out the specifics of that yet.

Ok so I fell off the wagon really hard on this. Made a big mistake and keep learning the hard way when it comes to supplements and AAS. BUT!! in the process I'm learning a lot about the compounds and how I personally react to them and what I do and don't need to be doing. I learned the importance about PCTs and sources. I twice the last year have crashed really hard after starting a cycle with no PCT. The second time I started it I was told he would get some but ended up getting screwed out of $$. I'm swearing off the juice til the spring at least if not longer depending on how I see results through just doing it clean and strait up. My best results honestly came from when I was just dieting right and working out like crazy so I'm back to that. Thankfully I haven't done too much damage. Took me about a month and half to recover my energy levels and will to work out so i got soft. Put on about an inch and half around the guy

but lost a half inch this my 2nd week of working back out and eating clean again. Check back in as soon as I have some real results to report.

You're young, and have alot of natural testosterone to begin with, so why even go the AAS route?

B/c I'm being dumb and impatient and hoped to get big quick. I did get big, then I got a little chubby for it, I'm holding off for awhile though. Going all natural for quite awhile before I consider getting back on. Thanks for the read by the way

Damn! I gained 5 lbs this last week, trying to cut. I didn't miss one day. Worked out 5 days strait doing weights and aerobic activity and still gained 5 lbs. I'm a freaking pig, disgusting. I need to have more will power around the food. I thought doing two a days 3 days of the week I could pig out a little more. All this extra food around the office is killing me. Also I think I'm going to change my work out a little, taking out dead lifts for awhile. My back has been hurting plus my shoulders/traps are pretty bulky so I'm happy with them. Maybe start targeting my pecs, bi-ceps, quads, hamstrings, calves. Pretty happy with the rest of my body, I'm cutting any ways so would like to add some more shape to those areas. Definitely having a hard time with this cutting thing, I don't think I know how to work out for that. I know how to diet for it, but if your working like a power lifter but eating for weight loss I'm sure I'm not doing something right.

Hey Bro!

Just a thought... You can really push your natural growth hormone by doing compound leg movements... Like try 85lb db goblet squats ATG... weighted lunges, deadlift.

Here is a video that rocked my world about leg exercises!!!
Hope this helps knee grow!

cracked the 200 lb bench press mark on saturday. it was kind of bad ass:
9 reps 195 lbs
9 reps 195 lbs
9 reps 205 lbs

i remember when i started 2 years ago i was repping around 140ish. seems like i've taken a long time to get up to that weight but if you put all the time i've missed together taking off a week here or 2 or even a month. that's probly a good 6 months w/ out exaggerating. I'm psyched. and also at least 6 months to a year I wasn't training right. Didn't even used to do flat bench b/c I was self conscious about how little i did. Anyways know I could have went a little higher but didn't have a spotter. I now bench at least 10lbs more than i weigh. Awesome
