8) Hey bros.....I am a frequent reader, but do not post often for the sake of learning and absorbing as much different info as I can. Quick story, I have been a dedicated bodybuilder/football play for 10 years. In college, played balled, weighed 230lbs prob. about 10-12%bf (not true abs) at 6'2. Good size, strong as hell, etc. Didn't know too much about nutrition, nor did I really care. I wached my diet, but not strict. Weekends were beer and pizza, but all reasonable amounts.
I graduated and became a CPA. Quickly found myself reading more and more and more and wanted to get that ripped look I never had before. Did a few triatholons, and coupled with my "new" diet, found myself weighing 180 and pretty shredded. Finally had the diced abs and was sorta strong. Ate 6 times a day, but not much, because I sat in an office all damn day. Not like college whereyou were up and movin....
WHELP, I am now 30, a cpa for a national bank, 6'2, and a shredded (lol) 170lbs. I am addicted to training and cardio. I train 6x a week, cardio 6-7 first thing in the am. I still sit all day, thats the reason for my cardio in the am and my light eating (sorta) I havent cheated in years and am so anal about my diet that it is a disease. My parents think I am anorexic. My test levels are EXTREMELY low (but always have been), I am weaker than shit in he gym and I look pathetic. People don't even recognize me.
SInce then, I have overcome the disease and I want to get Big AGAIN. aT LEAST TO WHERE i WAS. And I need your help. I am pondering the idea of running a low dose of test to help me feel better and get my levels to where they should be (have done it in the past) and I have some var on hand, winny and eq for down the road. The thought of losing my abs is the one part I am having trouble beating. WOuld you take a quick glance at my diet and let me know what you think. 6'2, 170lb prob. 7% bf, ab addiciton.....
PLAN:
250MG TEST CYP/WEEK 1-12
VAR 8-14 AT 40MG/DAY
Mild incline walk on treadmill, 3.5mph, 8.5incline for 30 minutes at 5:30am

1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup skim
1 scoop pro

2OZ FLANK STEAK
4 OZ CHICKEN BREAST

A couple of quick things.
First - lose the cardio
Second - you may be able to get test from the doc if your levels are that low
Third - start training heavy - maybe look into HST to start off (training heavy should help the test levels and that means lots of heavy leg work too)
Agree on the fat comment
If you're set on doing a cycle - take it to the hardcore board.
-
oter than that, decent bulker?
-
First off you need to add some fat to your diet either via PB, Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil etc...Way too clean.
I would also add another meal before workout......way too long between meal and your workout
-
ok....so I'll toss in 2tb of anpb in meal #1, 20-30 almonds prebed.....
1/2 cup rice, 4oz chicken at 3pm....
how does it look?

Low BF means low test, Test is a hormone strongly linked to reproduction. Low BF signals the body that it has to secure it's safety first, reproduction is of lower priority so low test levels. I would lose the food micromanagement for a while, you said it had become obsessive, take a break form this 'control-habit'. Eat good healthy meals 3-4 times a day, at 6'2" you should be able to get back at 210-220 (10-11% BF) fairly easy, with your training background. Take some extra protein, keep it simple, working out should be fun and eating healthy should and can be pleasant.
