Hello all! This is my first post. I realize that all these first timer posts can make you guys want to kill yourselves, especially with the "help I need advice" then they don't want to follow your advice, or often questions are asked which have been answered 1000 times before. I'll try to not be one of those people >.< I read all of the top "sticky'd" threads before making this post so hopefully I don't screw it up.
Quick background: I grew up fat. I have never once in my life (since I was 4) been in good shape. I'm not saying I was born fat, I'm saying I've had horrible diet, exercise, and self-control. Fast-food, fried foods, and not exercising were the only enjoyable things in life for me for several years. I decided in 2009 I wanted to turn it all around, and that I was willing to give up everything or completely change my lifestyle to accomplish it.
The flip: I purchased Tom Venuto's BFFM e-book and began changing my life. Every month I would fine tune more and more things to get my life as close to the BFFM plan as possible. I've always (and still do) looked for ways to tweak everything from my nutrient portions/meal, to meal times, and exercise. It has worked really well for me as you can see my progress below.
@ start of BFFM:
1) Age: 23
2) Weight and Percent BodyFat: 310lbs, ~35%
3) Years of Consistant Training experience: 0
4) Previous Cycle experience: None
5) Training routine and Diet: No exercice + fastfood 3xday
6) Cycle Goals: n/a
CURRENT:
1) Age: 24
2) Weight and Percent BodyFat: 256lbs, ~30.3%
3) Years of Consistant Training experience: 1
4) Previous Cycle experience: none
5) Training routine and Diet: Following BFFM exactly exercise+diet
6) Cycle Goals: lose massive amounts of fat if not possible then raise mass to increase RMR.
I am 6ft 1in tall, and believe I am supposed to weigh somewhere around 180-200 lbs.
Here is my situation: I recently found a source who only has access to 2 things: test, and Trembolone. I explained to him that I still have lots of fat to lose before I worry about muscle gain. I do understand (thanks to BFFM) that having more muscle will help because it will raise my RMR. I also understand that you can't really burn fat and build muscle at the same time. There must be a clear goal, as one requires a caloric deficit and the other requires a caloric surplus. My goal end result goal is to lose lots of fat. I wasn't sure (and neither was the source) how long I would be able to get them for. Meaning I might decide I wanted them a week later but the source wouldn't be able to get them. That sort of panic'd me into just buying them right then and there. I now realize I wish I had posted this first...
Now I'm almost positive some of you will say "don't use that, use xyz" or "you would be much better off using some l+m". I believe you guys, and trust you 100%. You are all much more knowledgeable about any of this stuff than I am. I would never disagree and claim that your advice is "bad" or "incorrect". I would just like to point out: I don't have access to xyz, nor do I have access to l or m... So if you're giving your "this is best" recommendation, I do appreciate it, and I do commend you for your knowledge and taking your time to share it with me, but it doesn't do me a whole lot of good seeing as I don't have a source to get it, and asking for a source is strictly against forum rules (and for a good reason).
That being said, this is my question: How do I now modify or tweak the BFFM plan (I'm sure most of you guys know it by heart) to incorporate the Trembolone since I already purchased it? Is there a way to stay in my "burn fat" mode while using it? If so, what modifications (if any) need to be made? If it is not possible to stay in that mode (calorie deficit), then I assume my only option would be to switch modes to building muscle just for the duration of the cycle (90 days), and then go back to fat loss?
Your wisdom and insight is much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
