So I had a bad year shoulder injury and health problems. I recently got everything in check including my shoulder. It is now a 100% once again just not yet where I used to be strength wise with pressing movements.
Decided January 1st I was going to get in shape again. I was natural for a year at 205ibs at about 20%bf. Pre injury I was on average at about 210-220 at about 15% bf at 6ft tall and fairly ectomorphic.
Fast forward to today I am on a cycle 500mgs test e and 200mgs masterone e a week for the last 7 weeks. I went from training weights 4x a week to 6. Also went from zero cardio to an hour a day 6 times a week. I upped my training volume from 10 sets a body part to 15-20 sets as well.
I am eating 2000-2200 cals a day all clean Ezekiel bread, brown rice, fish, chicken breast and almonds. I have counted every calorie including some of the miscellaneous ones that get in here and there.
My issue is after 7 weeks I am still floating between 195-197 ibs. I am not sure if my metabolism has stalled? I am recovering great from workouts. My endurance is skyrocketing, I am also making sure to stay in a reasonable heart rate.
Other theory is maybe because I am coming off of injury I could possibly be fairly undertrained on top of having such a long break from gear that I am responding well and somehow gaining in a deficit?
Could just be impatient I feel like I look to have leaned out, but I am still a little off from where I want to be.
