My transformation cycle log

[Special]

Hi,

This is a log for my weight loss transformation journey.

I am a 26 y/o male who has been obese since childhood. I want to make a big change as a result of a lot of things happening in my personal life.

I have been training this year for 5x a week alongside a Keto diet (very low carbs). I started at 275 lbs and I am currently 235lb. My height is 5 ft 9. My weight has started to plateu. I did get to 230lb but was stuck there for a while. I haven't been gym for a month due to surgery hence the 5lb gain and now I have started gym again.

I want to try a new programme that involves intermittent fasting, fasted cardio and a good balanced diet. Alongside a good cycle.




Diet


In progress. Thinking to restrict to under 2500 calories (3500 is my maintenance). Predominately chicken breast, rice and vegetables.



Provisional Training Programme

Monday: 30 minutes stepper machine (fasted, first thing in morning) and then Back

Tuesday: Chest and Triceps

Wednesday: 30 minutes stepper machine (fasted, first thing in morning) and then legs

Thursday: Shoulders and Biceps

Friday: 30 minutes stepper machine + mixed cardio (treadmill/cross-trainer etc)

Saturday: Chest and Triceps

Sunday: Rest or Cardio.


Cycle

In progress

This was me in the end of last year: (275lb)




This is me today 13/07/2023 (235lb)






I apologise in advance if I haven't completed this as well as I should. I am new to logging everything in and I do like it as it adds a element of accountability. Let me know if I need to include anything else.

Also to add, this would be my second ever cycle. I did a 500mg a week test only 12 week cycle at the start of the year and loved it. (Omnadren 250 twice a week).

It made me more active, motivated and generally happier. Hence why I really want to go on another cycle, just not sure on the cycle now due to varying opinions due to my bodyweight.

Wait to use anything until you lose more body fat. You are doing a good job, but high fat and gear don’t mix well at all, either for health or for visual sides.

fasted cardio is a weapon to fat loss

intermittent fasting is a weapon to fat loss but needs to be done correctly. I am not a fan of 16/8 at all. that is the least amount of fasted time you should do. you should be fasting mininum 20 hours a day. so stick to a 2-4 hour window. also EOD fasting is extremely potent for switching you from insulin resistant to insulin sensitive

as far as calories. instead of worrying about getting X amount a day, focus more on what types of food you are getting. that is important to do, and you will naturally cycle calories day by day. now why do i recommend this? because this is how humans have eaten for 2.5M years! you find food, you eat food. there was no apps to track calories, fridges, freezes or processed foods.. nor were there super markets or phone apps where you can literally eat what you want, when you want, and as much as you want.

Thanks Steve, OK, I will do a couple days of 16 hour fasts to get my body adjusted to the fasting and then stick to 20+ hour fasts as you mentioned.



I love your advice regarding nutrition as that makes it easier. I'l focus on getting the right foods and food, especially since I will only be eating in small windows. The calories probably won't matter all that much anyway, as I can only eat so much in that narrow window. I did some meal prep today. I made boxes of chicken breast, white rice and mixed vegetables.



Just need to dial down the cycle now. Steve, I understand you and several others recommend I stay away from Tren due to my high body fat, so I will stay away from Tren as I now understand the risks you mentioned.



I do want to take Test as it helped me a lot in my first ever cycle in terms of mood and energy. What can I take alongside the test to facilitate the next few months of fat loss?

Good luck. Stay consistent and get below 20% bf before hitting the gear again. You can do it.

Fasting will make you leaner. Focus on rich and high quality food.

Good luck brother.

Appreciate the love!

Ok, I will stay away from the gear until I drop to a suitable level and re-evaluate.

Thanks all

 

[stevesmi]

that is a smart choice. tren will only get in your way. and ANY results you get on it, you will get a boomerang effect when you come off and gain everything back and more. seen it a million times

you need to get a log going and focus on JUST your diet and training. remember your ancestors were all LEAN, unless they were kings/queens/nobels etc. all our ancestors had to work their asses off for a meal, now people just use an app or drive to the supermarket.. they even use a scooter to go around the supermarket to get groceries, heaven forbid they do any walking at all!! . your body keeps storing fat because it is trained to do that. now you must train it to BURN FAT instead

Good job posting this LOG journal, very strong of you to start off this way. Thank you.

a few things, first your diet, can you post what you're actually eating? meals food when you eat it etc
and your maintenance is NOT 3500, you need to be eating around 2400 with your bodyfat level

on the training, good over training layout but we need to see sets and reps and how you are training, exercises and weights actual detail

now the cardio, i would up the cardio to 60minutes fasted in the morning but this will be related to the DIET question too when and what you'll eat

on the cycle front, I dont think you need steroids unless you have low testosterone and in that case TRT, you have blood work testosterone levels done?

 

[ceo]

bros we need more training diet info from u

 

[ROIDDERS]

gotta know what you eating man

 

[Ulter]

to transform we need to see your diet and work on it

 

[chesty]

your caloric intake should be around 2200 with 16 hour fasts
