Keep expectations reasonable or you’ll set yourself up for disappointment. I’ve learned to set my goals much lower than is actually possible in order that when they are reached, anything over is a bonus and makes me very happy! You’ll get there no doubt. I have faith in you as long as I know you’re doing everything it takes to make your goals a reality.

    I didn’t see this. Ok thanks!! That’s why the hard cut (greater than or equal to 1000 cal deficit). I just didn’t anticipate the metabolic stall. BW results next week will reveal a lot.

That’s 1250, way too low in my opinion. Eating too little during a cut can have poor results. You have to have the calories to have the energy to burn off. Keep the metabolism high.

    Ok. I will consider bumping it up. I don’t know my current metabolic rate. Haven’t had it tested professionally in a while. Electrolytes are in check. E2 unknown. MaBamb ratios ok.

    Still at 178. It’s been 2 weeks eating like this. Some days I’ll nibble of some snacks. Right now I got a 2 pack showing upper stomach lol. Still got veins showing nicely when working out (arms). Not as prominent as before. I’m also on "HGH". My thinking is that and the Test act as a strong muscle sparing stack while cutting hard.

    My plan is to cut then blast/bulk with low dose Tren E/Masteron E. Of course with Test E as a base.

    Raps? You’re saying I should eat more to lose fat? My current protein is ~100 grams. Carbs about that and fat lower.

I use a trt or lower dose though.

    Are you using an AI?

    At 180, even at 5’8", I don’t see a reason for you to be cutting. We’ve all been there, planning for beach season. But 180lbs isn’t much to cut from. I’d be willing to bet you’d look better just running the blast at maintenance calories or a little above to everyone. The cutting part, at your weight, is all in your head.

    Yup I’m on an AI. Aromasin 12.5mg ED. BW results next week will know if I need to bump it up. I think I’m exactly at 20% bf now. Don’t want to go any further. I’d be happy if I could hit ~12% or at least a visible four pack in the next 6-8 weeks.

    Yeah that could be it. I was eating above maintenance but nothing like 500+ over. Half my calories were drinkable. The 20 pound gain without trying was unexpected. Maybe it could’ve also been another hormone messed up?

    I remember Clomid making it easy to bulk too.

    Imo, the cost isn’t worth the benefit.

    Why wouldn’t hgh be useful for under 40? The data shows substantially less serum gh after 16-18 years old.

    4 months (unemployed) pre-cycle ~2500k 160 lbs maintenance

    6 weeks on cycle. Working 60 hrs a week standing. Some cheat days but caloric intake near similar. Probably a couple hundred calories more.

    MaBambs same throughout 6 week bulk vs off cycle:

    1. Raw egg banana protein powder smoothie ~1000k (morning)

    2. Afternoon lunch
    Or
    2. Evening dinner

    3. Quart of Kefir ~600k (before bed)
