HOW MUCH PROTEIN AND CALS WERE YOU GETTING IN THOSE PICS? [DID YOU APPLY 'RESTORATIVE MEASURES'
LOL...YOU ARE CERTAINLY THICK IN THE OTHER PICS YOU POSTED.
I GET THAT SWEATY THING ON CARB DAYS TOO! I THINK A PERSONS METABOLISM JUST STARTS SMOKING...GET'S JARRED BACK INTO ACTION. I USE THE ECA STACK AS WELL. IT KILLS MY APPETITE TO SOME DEGREE...WHICH IS ANOTHER PLUS. I START LOSING TOO MUCH AND I EAT. I TRY TO KEEP IT AT 2 POUNDS PER WEEK AFTER THE INITIAL WATER DROP IN THE FIRST WEEK OF LOWERED CARB INTAKE.
YES...THE LOOSE BOWEL SYNDROME CAN STRIKE HARD IF A FELLAS BEEN EATING SUPER CLEAN FOR MONTHS ON END. THAT'S NASTY FOR SURE...BUT IT NEVER HAS STOPPED ME FROM EATING ONCE A DIET WAS 'OVER'. LOL..
KEEP ON POSTING, DOC!
LOL... yeah, can you believe that? That was 7 years ago but at the same time, I had never done any cycles or anything like that. I ate a good bit of protein but what I think happened to me is that I didn't take in enough carbs. Even when depleting, you need some carbs... At that time, I began to grow more and more of the mind, "well if i lost 2 lbs, why not go another week with no carbs!" - and for dudes like me, that fat loss can be intoxicating. I gained all 20 or so lbs back within a few months of eating normally. I think the CEA stack disguised symtoms that normally I would have noticed. Damn ephedrine. It was really hard for me to put those pics up actually. I remember when I was dieting a good friend and fellow lifter said to me "Man, you look like you lost everything!" - at the time I was just ... ugh... that hurts.
On a positive note, I'm the leanest 220 I've ever been. In 4 days I start my feb-may cycle using 300mg test e and 600 deca per week. I'll bump the test every few weeks til it reaches 900 and then back off again. I have dbol that I may put in the 2nd half of the cycle (last 8 weeks).
As far as diet for me, I've come up with my own diet plan that I call the Cro-Magnon Diet (patent pending lol). It's very simple. If you can't throw a spear into it, milk it, dig it up, or pull it from a tree, don't eat it. Whole meats, whole fruits, and whole vegetables. I came up with the idea after reading this paper on evolution and how our bodies still basically are the same as they were hundreds of thousands of years ago. It's only recently that we've started eating so many processed foods. It's been working well for me since I started.
I'll still take extra protein (whey), glutamine, multi-vitamin, B6, B12 and I can't give up my shredded wheat. I would eat 4000 cals a day whether I lifted or not so volume isn't a problem
From past experience, I'm guessing that I'll be coming to around 240lb by june and with a little cleanup, 225-230 (5-10lb lean mass gain). At least that's the goal I've set for myself.
