Howdy all, kinda new here. Been lurking a while but never posted until now. I realise it's totally different to ukm and folk are helpful and supportive.
So here goes. 24 years old, 5' 11", currently sitting at 16st 13lbs. I used to be around 14-15st in reasonable nick but had a v active job, after getting a desk job my weight shot up to 18st 4lb at my heaviest. So got back into training and diet, added cardio for first time ever.
Training currently looks like
Monday - 40 mins pm cardio
Tuesday - push / 40 mins pm cardio
Wednesday - 40 mins pm cardio
Thursday - pull / 40 mins pm cardio
Friday - 40 mins am cardio
Saturday - Legs / 40 mins pm cardio
Sunday - Rest
Started cardio at 5 x 30 mins and upped it, not going to increase anymore until further down the line. Also going to split my push session into a chest day and shoulder day I think. Training is high-ish volume as I respond better to it, ive tried the PL style 5x5 and 5,3,1 but not for me.
Diet atm varies but I shoot for
P 220g
C 260g
F 90g
Gear use in the past was very high, being honest I relied on it too much to compensate for shit diet and training. Atm just cruising along on test at 200mg e10d or so, that's plenty. Will look to add mast at about 400mg and t3 in a few weeks time but only if get down to a decent level. Days of stacking TTM with mtren, var and Oxy are long gone.
Also been diagnosed with hypokalemic period paralysis which is a funny one so need to watch sodium closely. This was partly responsible for my weight gain as during attacks I was rendered pretty much immobile. Fun stuff.
Will get pics up tonight or tomorrow, apologies for the essay folks hope it doesn't bore folk.
