In for this!
Are you a chubby chaser?In for this!
You were eating & taking drugs to literally gain as much weight/leverage in a very short time span as possible - you know muscle was a very small amount of that gain, mainly water and fat as muscle can only build so fast of course.I got a question, is it possible that my insulin sensitivity went to **** from that dirty bulk and that's how I put on Soo much fat n lost muscle so fast? I know I was hurt but it's bothering me how fast it went downhill.
I did 40 days of cyclic keto prior to my current bulk, dropping 11 total lbs down to 234.0. And fasting blood glucose went from 99 on 500mg Berberine daily to 93 without any glucose support. This morning after 3 weeks on cycle & surplus I am up to 255.0! Bodyfat appears nearly the same, truly.It MAY be possible that it is playing its part. Over here vets always recommend going keto before cycle for some time to increase insulin sensitivity. Broscience or not, you cant say it doesnt work for them.
mk677 is supposed to mess with insulin sensitivity and whenever i come off i gain belly fat. Nowhere else, just on my belly.

All makes a lot of sense. I'm not going to cut carbs completely right away but too see how I feel in going to do a day or 2 this week on no carbs with calories staying the same to see how satiating it feels vs moderate carb low fat.You were eating & taking drugs to literally gain as much weight/leverage in a very short time span as possible - you know muscle was a very small amount of that gain, mainly water and fat as muscle can only build so fast of course.
As Jinsun stated, when you add bodyfat insulin sensitivity decreases. When you eat lots of carbs it decreases. When you lower activity (to focus on pressing, accelerate weight gain, and to peak strength) sensitivity decreases.
You also stopped taking all the Superdrol and dropped 500+mg of oil out after your successful 353lb bench, then had a forced layoff from training due to your very untimely neck kink.
You will bounce back - you will be training legs, training more frequently, eating at a deficit with less carbs. You got this!

Reversing out of a short keto cut into a carby surplus and blasting after 5 months off cycle, I am blowing up without forcing any meals.
I was working on protein ideas last night.Proteins what Ive been finding hard to hit, Im aiming for around 200sh as well. I prefer not to use shakes, I cant stand them unless using full milk and that sh1t puts my carb intake up too much ugh.
I've used epi in the past, didn't notice anything till I hit 30mg and at 40 I loved it. But I'm not messing with it right now. Sticking with a little test and mast and I have some td dienolone and epiandro combo leftover that will probably come into play as there not really harsh or toxic. I took a bunch of crap not too long ago so no orals right nowI just noticed for me 20 mg of epi makes for a powerful recomp. 10 at morn 10 at even.
I'm just losing fat looking bigger and gaining not a pound, diet is unchanged also. I imagine on a deficit not much could preserve like a low dose of epistane. Except maybe d-plex. Just a thought.
Smart man that will give you some aggression needed to smash weights hopefully. How does dienolone td treat you?I've used epi in the past, didn't notice anything till I hit 30mg and at 40 I loved it.

I haven't used it for more then 4 weeks, when in reality it should probably be used for 8. At 75mg I felt a little boost in the gym and also got puffy nips. But I was on other stuff that aromatizes and no ai so I think it was a bad combo for raising estrogen and progesterone. Il be able to figure it out better this time as I don't really feel anything from the little bit of test and mast I'm onSmart man that will give you some aggression needed to smash weights hopefully.

Calories are king, I can do just as good on low fat as I do on low carb if calories are the same. I prefer low fat cus I can get more food volume out of carbs then I can fat. But for me the problem with carbs is I will overeat them a lot easier then fat. I love breads pasta and white rice. So I try to limit eating them cus it's hard for my to stop lolJust my opinion...but carbs wont make you fat. First of all, nothing will if you dont exceed maintenace cals (but you obviously know that).
Also, i would rather go low fat than low carb. Low carb and performance suffers. If you are on steroids ypu dont need to worry abput diminishing T levels which happen on low fat diets.
I never got fat while eating a sh1t ton of oats and white rice. I get fat when i incorporate stuff like cheese etc (thankfully i dont eat those types of food anymore).
Oh I eat a lot of vegetables, tomatoes, cuecumber, pickles, peppers and onions. Lots of canned green beans. I love asparagus but it's another one I can't eat too much of. This is pretty much a experiment because it's the lowest my calories have been in about a year and a half. And I haven't dieted to get really lean in over 5 years. I'm going to play this out by ear and keep fiddling with it. I did go to a small family cook out today so I lost count of calories but I only ate meat and veggies so I'm sure the damage wasn't too bad. I'm guestimating I'm probably just over 2200 so I kinda used up all my meals. But il eat again if I get really hungry and keep it reasonable.Bell peppers, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, seedless cucumber, spinach, green beans, asparagus are all negligible calorie veggies (and fruits) that can add a lot of satiety & great for snacking or filling out a meal. You don’t have to have cruciferous veggies man; don’t throw the baby out with the bath water - find foods that work for you!
Same for carbs. Nothing saying you have to eat whole grains; just experiment if you have trouble staying full.
Mmmmmm mashed potatoesMashed potatoes, green beans and chicken breast. Amazing.
All I can think of is Requiem for a DreamMmmmmm mashed potatoes

I feel the same way. I use to be a very good deadlifter, at least by non powerlifting standards. I could pull high 400s it's not a lift I really train at making better either. I've always just throwing three or four sets in a back workout, trying to add 5 lbs here and there. I hurt my back a while ago where I could no longer go over 315 without pain. So I stopped for a month or so and went back down to 250 and worked on form and was back in the high 300s within 2 months with good form and pain free. After about 375/395 I need straps. Painting, powerwashing and boxing have fux up my hand strength.i also like to deadlift bro. Mainly because it’s my best lift and I enjoy shifting big weights.
personally I think heavy deads should be kept to sets of 5 or less. The problem with volume (for me and imo) Is that form can tend to break down slowly with a deadlift (more so than a squat or bench) allowing you to keep moving weight but with ever worsening form (I’m not a form Nazi btw, I think the risks of an occasional shitty looking lift are way overblown but consistently placing excess stress on the lower back can be problematic).
I find it easier to focus and get set for a big set of 3 or 5. What I could lift for ten would be different to what I could really focus on each rep for 10.
I actually really like madcow 5x5 or 5/4/3 for deads - both ramp up to one big heavy set.
of course aside from staying healthy the other issue with lots of heavy volume on deads is the sheer taxing nature on the cns. Nothing batters it more than deadlifting for me. I’ve really fucked myself in the past doing too heavy for too long (on cycle) and it took a long time to recover (like 6 months).
where I do like more volume is deadlift variations/assistance for accessory work. Rdl’s being an obvious example but good mornings, back extensions, rounded back deadlifts etc all decent with lower weight and more reps
the other way to deadlift more would be switching between conventional and sumo. Something I think more people should do. Your weaker lifting style automatically forces a reduction in weight but still allows you to target muscles that will have carry over to your preferred style. If you have a trap bar then this adds a third option (does lend itself to higher re
yeah I’m at a similar level. That madcow 5x5 got me to a top set of 5x473. It is also the time I destroyed my cns and actually started losing strength on cycle. Annoyingly I never put a big single up at that time so my best one rep is still 523.I feel the same way. I use to be a very good deadlifter, at least by non powerlifting standards.

I'm doing a pull workout today, I think il start it off with 5,5,5,3,3 on deadlifts. The first 3 being warm ups. And pick a weight to play it safe for the first couple times
Well obesity is technically a disability in some states so I got that obesity from my dirty bulk last month lol.Subbed. What injuries are you coming back from?
