Schwellington trims down before his next bulk

[Srt4Muscle]

Oooo I get to say I ****ing told you so!!! I knew I could not control a refeed, just knew it. Im sorry you couldn't either bro, your not starting over just a speed bump. Keep it up...Carbs before workout is pretty cool. I been taking 25g prior to workout EOD.

EDIT: that first part was rude my bad bro

so i think you need to actually measure your BF, guessing is way ****ty. its bad enough using a stand on scale for me i would go crazy guessing, and as a matter of fact i was way off when i did guess before i bought my scale. i would at least get a caliper and try to measure or something.

[EasyEJL]

I stopped worrying about what bodyfat % I am. It's whether I look better or worse in the mirror and how close I am to looking the way I want

[Srt4Muscle]

i like knowing and using it for motivation, step on my scale if it says too high, i can get my ass in gear. plus when i look at myself too much i seem to lose track of how much progress ive made, even if im semi happy with the way i look, for how hard i work i deserve to see the numbers lol everybodys got their own thing though.

[schwellington]

No harm no foul easy I take your approach but I have always been curious about my bf levels too. I'm back at it reefeeds are out the window. I can't stay in ketosis forever and don't want to blow up like a blimp- I guess when it comes time to eat carbs again i will add them in slowly? Anyways going to doc in about an hour to get trt started

[Srt4Muscle]

yeah you def have to get back into carbs slow, and im not sure if a carb up prior to workout takes you out of ketosis or not, im pretty sure it does. its good though because your body can store the glucose for brain function later in the week lol.

[Srt4Muscle]

how low is you test, once you start TRT its like theres no going back right? how old are you?

[schwellington]

About to be 24 made some stupid choices in the past with hormones probably be about 150mgs/week

if you take in a relatively small amount (20-30g) of a lower GI carb preworkout or more or less immediately postworkout (but not both!) you barely dip out of ketosis.

[Srt4Muscle]

why low i thought it was high GI so it would burn off faster?

[Srt4Muscle]

what dude your 24 and actually got on TRT thats crazy, i think you should explore other options bro, i mean how much time have you had off between cycles and stuff. have you tried taking a whole year off of hormones.

[EasyEJL]

why low i thought it was high GI so it would burn off faster?

low so it doesn't spike insulin as much. The high insulin spike would take you further out of ketosis

[Srt4Muscle]

k i was just thinking something easy like a nutrigrain bar. 25g of carbs, 3g fiber, what you think

[schwellington]

Oats for me and milk.

[schwellington]

[Srt4Muscle]

i know i asked this already lol but are you running ECA or ECY right now. **** had me cracked out yesterday lol had to go the gym and do cardio just so i could sleep. helps so much with hunger too, just saying if you got it run it!!!

[schwellington]

No ECA but I want the ECY I know where to get a premade stack.....

[schwellington]

Results are in I need trt. Doc gave me three vials of test cyp at 200mg a week self administration. Also I got the thyroid tested my thyroid was low- I always wondered because I loose fat extremely slowly. I was put on 25mcgs of synthroid as well. Today is an off day going to do 45 minutes of cardio

[schwellington]

Took 25mcgs t4 and 25mg ephedra along with caffeine going to hit back and shoulders! Went ahead and started ostarine as well to help with fat loss-

[schwellington]

Continuing on chest was a bit different today I started with incline each set was ss with abs and biceps

Warmup

Incline barbell
205x8 210x8 225x6 ss biceps and abs
