bodyweight x 19 :confused:? yikes, that's about 3400 for me I couldn't imagine how fat I'd get Maybe 10 years ago, but at almost 33, I don't think I could pull it off But I guess if I continue experimenting, I might find that's what it takes. But I will creep up to that level if I have to...

mikeh, Well then ours are great stats! jsraaf, Thanks for the link and the info. That's certainly food for thought. After I finished my cutting cycle at 2300 kcals, I took in about 2500 during decon (full 2 weeks) and didn't gain any weight back. So I assume that 2500 is a good estimate of...

jsraaf - 178 pounds this morning at 5' 9.5" small frame, 6.5" wrists max bench ~ 240 max squat ~ 300 max deadlift ~ 365 other info just for reference (certainly not going to impress anyone here

robefc, I was disappointed with a 50/50 ratio muscle to fat gained during my bulk cycle, but your point is well taken. Preferentially dropping fat was easier for me than preferentially gaining muscle so I should accept the fat with the muscle knowing I can rid myself of it later. So it...

I'm not a newbie and I'm not too fat either (by my standards, at least - 13% bf). So I guess I'll have to find ways to eat more. My first HST cycle was a bulking cycle and I added 8 pounds by eating approx. 3100 kcals / day. I measured the gains to be half muscle and half fat. Second cycle I...

If you increased your calorie intake to match the extra calories burnt by additional HST workouts (i.e. going from 3 to 6 weekly workouts) so your bodyweight did not change over the course of the more frequent cycle, are you just wasting your time? or will you improve your body composition?

Aaron, Thanks for responding. I'm 180 and I'm still approx. 13-15% body fat. But the weight is coming off more slowly now and I find myself more tempted than before. I was wondering if a refeed would help me get my motivation back and jumpstart my metabolism.

For those who do refeeds... I have been dieting for the last 6 weeks. I've whittled off about 10 pounds while not missing any planned weights. Just finished with my 5RM and I've got two weeks left in my current HST cycle. I'd like to drop another 5-7 pounds but I'm thinking a week of...

Wish I knew also. Hope someone in the know responds. I was thinking about Andro Poppers just because they are readily available and cheap. But that certainly doesn't mean effective. I've read good things about 1-testosterone, 4-AD and 1-AD but I'm not sure who to believe.

I just finished my first cycle of HST (stopped after 8 weeks, no negatives). The pinches indicate a LBM gain of 4 pounds and fat gain of 4 pounds. I'm impressed. This compares very well against other things I have tried. My standard rate of gain over the last 2 years has been 1 pound of LBM...
