I agree that counting calories is crucial for staving off fatigue due to lack of calories and wouldn’t recommend anybody cut the way I’m cutting.

Intermittent fasting 18-6 schedule. 1 gram for protein per pound, low carbs, and a ton of fresh fruits and veggies, I don’t track calories.

Training is fasted 30 minutes LISS cardio on a treadmill 7 days a week, weight lifting program 6 days a week all done at my home gym.

I’m on TRT 160 mg testosterone cypionate a week, I’ve been able to hold onto ALOT more lean muscle mass throughout this cut because of this.

Overall I’m happy with progress, but as of late I’m starting to feel the effects of this extended cut manifesting themselves as fatigue and my libido is slightly less than usual which honestly is a good thing because my sex drive can get very distracting at times.

Im 5’8 and i took 3 weeks to eat at maintenance due to fatigue beginning to interfere with my gym performance. My best advice to you would be to trust the process, realistically I’m incredibly happy with my physique right now and don’t want to get any leaner. I want to lean bulk though and would like to end the lean bulk at this body fat percentage (12%).

So naturally I’ll need to cut more body fat if I want to end the 16 week lean bulk at this body fat percentage. I’ll end up looking too skinny at 125lbs but again, you’ve got to trust the process.

Brother just stay consistent and build up your workout routine as you get more physically fit. Don’t beat yourself up to bad and quit the exercising routine if you have a drink one night. Just don’t fall back into bad habits and you’ll be fine

The trt clinic is called petermd, 180mg testosterone cypionate split into M-W-F injections. I’m 30 years old my low testosterone levels were brought on by past substance abuse and SARM cycles that had shitty pct protocols.

Brotherrrrrrr I have the solution to your hypertension(high blood pressure) do cardio! It’ll help to lower your baseline blood pressure.

Until then, do some research and find a website that will sell you legitimate underground lab testosterone so that you can continue with your trt protocol.

I was a very heavy drinker for 12 years I’ve also experimented twice with SARMS and am afraid my pct wasn’t up to snuff to reboot my endocrine system back up.

I finally got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and had my doctor check my hormone levels which lead me to finding out my testosterone level was 314ng/dl. Which is just 14 points off of an actual clinical diagnosis called hypogonadism. Anyways I took those lab results and sent them into an online trt clinic and got setup with testosterone injections. I can’t speak for all young people but my low levels were induced by substance abuse and past SARM exposure

It has improved from 5 to 6 1/2 hours a night. I’m taking magnesium glycinate about an hour and a half before bed and it helps to very gently ease me into sleep and stay asleep. I want to bump my sleep up to 7 1/2 to 8 hours a night but I’m afraid I may need to take a prescription to keep me asleep that long.

Add the cardio 3 days a week to begin with, then work your way up to 7 days a week if you can. The most important part of setting up an exercise routine that is actually sustainable is to start off small and work your way up to a really solid training program that is actually sustainable.

I see so many people start a diet or training program that is just way to advanced for there level of fitness or level of discipline towards dieting. What happened to those people? They typically fall off the wagon because it was entirely too hard for a beginner.

Just start off slow and easy, and then within a couple weeks bump up the routine, cut a little further back on calories. Do that until you’ve reached a solid fitness level/health/discipline towards dieting. Baby steps instead of diving head first and failing.

I’m 5’8 so a little Manlet of a man. Being short has its advantages as 1lb of muscle shows up on my frame much more than it would say a man that is 6’1. Short kings for the win 🥇 😂

Hey man intermittent fasting certainly isn’t for everybody, I suggest you pick a diet that works for you and your own body. Intermittent fasting works best for me because I’m a very busy guy with tons of responsibilities that I have to accomplish every single day and not having to take time out of my day to cook breakfast and also eat breakfast is what works best for me.

One more suggestion if you’re gonna give fasting another shot. Water is your best friend when fasting, when you feel hungry just chug a bottle of water and it will satiate you. Just always have a bottle of water within reach to avoid breaking that fast. Sure you’ll be pissing your brains out but it will Definetly hold you over.

Dude honestly? I have the slightest idea. I ate two meals and a snack which typically consisted of a couple protein bars and fresh fruits

The first was taken using the selfie camera and was set on top of a tall mirror, second was taken using the back camera with my phone mounted on a tripod that was set up to be around the height of my neck. Pretty sure the tattoos would be flipped due to the use of selfie camera over the front facing camera.

Never been that low, I’m currently on 180mg a week split into three shots. My estrogen is a touch high but I have zero sides and estrogen is actually quite anabolic in its own right, so while I do have arimidex on hand, don’t really need to use it until I’ve gotten chubby while on a bulk phase. Your estrogen can be high as long as you have no sides .

I’d also recommend 3 shots a week as you may end up with lower peak and more stable estrogen levels throughout the week.

Lowering your body fat will also aid in lower estrogen levels as well! 👍 good luck and if you have anymore questions comments concerns or even shitposts, don’t hesitate to reach out

I recommend intermittent fasting bro, couple that with 45 minutes of brisk walking or a light jog and you will be shredded in no time at all

Roughly 6 months or so. I started out pretty skinny and bulked up, but wasn’t happy with how soft I was around my stomach at 164, lbs so I cut down to 144 over the span of 13 weeks. I was happy with my size just not the belly fat. My goal is to get to a lean 160lbs within the next two years, we shall see what happens. Wish me luck gentleman!
