Time to get after it

[Tbgr]

40 5’10 185. So pre covid I decided to get my ass in the gym ever for first time, and made solid gains just getting after it, at 38 I went from 155 to 198 lbs and a fair bit was muscle. Then covid really slowed down gym time.

Recently got a power rack and goodies, and been going hard again, just making up my strength I lost form the covid lull.

I have tons of questions in regards to enhancing my performance, and look forward to interacting with you fine knowledgeable fellows!

Welcome sir. All questions will be answered.

We’re not a market place so don’t ask anything about purchasing aas.

I will post rules for you to read.

What are your training goals?

Have you ever been enhanced before?

Have you had a full blood panel recently?

Nope to macros, but eat clean, I’m pretty good at maintaining proper eating.

Goal is to recomp my current weight. Lose ten gain ten-15(So about 185 -190 15%) Lifting goals are more my thing.
I want the 5 plate dead, 4 plate squat, 3 bench, and bw ohp, I’m basically 4,3,2,1 right now. If I was a younger man I would just get after it naturally.

No enhancement experience.

Going to set up pre blood panels this week, I don’t want to enhance until I plateau on re gains from covid rest.

I just said this on another post… it’s hard to serve two masters.

Recomping and making strength gains is possible… just gotta be diligent.

I would suggest maybe starting counting macros for your recomp. A cycle of aas is always better when you’re as lean as you can get.

Smart man.

Honestly I’m pretty lean, for an average joe as I am. I look pretty good with cloths on .

If I do enhance, I would bulk just to pack as much muscle as I can, also though that requires the discipline to do a proper cut at the end.

I have never had to cut weight in my life so I’m not even sure I can do it properly, if I’m being honest… I love lifting and hate eating, so I can modulate weight easy, just not maximize strength when I lose Oh well won’t know if I ain’t willing to try.

I will start macro counting now though to see if I have the gumption to do it. More info about my self the better . All I care about right now is total calories and protien 1g per
Lbs. never bother figuring out carbs and fat.

Arbs and fats are extremely important as I myself am learning as I go. I discovered the more carbs I eat the more strength I have in the gym, a lot more. and my muscles are bigger also. If I don’t eat enough carbs then my muscles will cannibalize for energy as I am lifting. Also depends on the type of carbs your body tolerates the best. Anything with wheat makes me tired for example.

Welcome BTW. Glad to have you in the community
