Physlifter Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Good morning Weight down to 222.8 this morning. Last few days i've held onto water and was up to 228 at one point, but the last day and a half it dropped off. I'm definitely noticing a bit of my metabolism slowing. I can't eat the 2700-3000 cals a day anymore at 240 lbs unless i'm doing 45-60 mins of cardio and i'm not at the point where I want ot suffer that much. So now on low feed days i'm getting at 1800, but yesterday I was at 2300, and it seems to be working well. New pics this weekend showing hopefully some good improvement and deeper ab cuts. 10 more full pounds of fat should do me nicely for the summer and then it's holding onto it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physlifter Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 218.8 lbs this morning makes it 22 lbs down in 7 weeks!! Starting to make very visual changes but i'm flatter than the earth Going to do a full day carb up tomorrow instead of one meal to see if I can fill out more. I only want to get to 210 and don't want to rush too much faster, so I expect to be there by July at the current rate. Maintenance will be fun this summer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hey, So update. The last week and a bit i've dropped down to 209.6 So 31.5 lbs down. I'm going to probably stop at 205. We'll see how I look at that point. As for how I look, I will say i'm not as happy as I'd expected to be. The lockdowns have really fucked my physique up. Training at home has been doing wonders, but it's just not the same. When I was 209 lbs in 2018 doing my show prep I was significantly leaner than I was now. I was 199.6 with weigh in and stepped on stage around 205. So yea even if I lost another 10 lbs of fat I still wouldn't be in the same shape, attributing to the msk loss that the last year and a bit has done to me. That being said, i'm actually feeling significantly better; less snoring, more mobility, more feeling healthy. Reducing down to 75 mcg T3 gives me the heat, but not the incredible shakes and anxiety feeling, and the loss is still consistent. Gear is doing it's job well, and i'm happy with getting down. I'll put more photos up this coming weekend once i'm able to settle in a weight and I feel a bit better about myself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Happy Flex Friday y'all! It's been a few weeks since last progress. 31 lbs down in 9 weeks. Sitting at 210. I'm not as lean or as big as I was in 2018 at my last show with the same weight, but the details like the back Xmas tree and hamstrings are coming through. Enjoying the eating and the process throughout, and have made no excuses with shutdowns to not be in better shape. We can all do a little better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 So i'm ramping down off the T3 after a long while on. Can feel it's been too long and my health is suffering. More restless, heart palpitations, and getting lethargic. Was running 75 mcg for last coupel of weeks now on my 3rd day of 50 mcg, another day or two at this then down to 25 mcg until the end of the week and then off completely. Gear is still going for another month. Diet will also be changing where I lost too much mass with this running keto. Will be doing a normal deficit diet using carbs now, but will still stay in the 2200-2300 cal range. Diet is below MEAL CALORIES FAT CARBS FIBER PROTEIN Anabolic French Toast 3 slices With 0.2 cup Ms. Buttersworth Sugar Free Syrup 424 2 56 9 45 Shake 1.5 scoops protein 15 g (2.5 TBSP PB&ME) 1 banana 372 7 37 0 44.5 6 oz chicken 200 g carbs 5g fat 370 5 41 7 36 Shake 1.5 scoops protein 15 g (2.5 TBSP PB&ME) 251 7 5.8 0 43 As per meal 3 370 5 41 7 36 Cottage Cheese 1 cup Blueberries 1 scoops protein 412 6 37 7 55 TOTAL 2199 32 217.8 30 259.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujiin Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Looking forward to seeing the final result, side by side before and after, and hearing about your HydroxyCut sponsorship lol. "I lost 35lbs in 10 weeks...thanks HydroxyCut" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 So far so good with diet changes. It's freaking AMAZING to eat french toast every morning! I couldnt' find mrs. buttersworth as it seems to be in short supply but luckily my boss supps store in barrie had a 1 gallon tub of Walden's pancake syrup for 40 bucks so I was extremely happy for that. Weight only up from 209 to 212 but this is water and man I feel much stronger now. I'll try to get some updated pics sometime this week (could even be tonight) after a workout and more carbs, but I think i'll see some substantial difference in filling out. So I had my french toast this morning, at lunch today I get 6 oz of chicken, veggies, AND a whole bag of popcorn! yummmm and filling. My shake before I get home, do a workout, go teach Tae Kwon Do for two hours, eat supper and then my bedtime meal. Should hit 2200 or so cals and I will be satisfied One more month of gear cycle. I'm completely off the stims and T3 now and I Feel better; HR is stabalizing around 70 bpm instead of 100, and i my heart palpitations have dropped but haven't gone away, i'll keep monitoring. Not even taking ephedrine now as it's doing the same shit to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 So this is fun: I'm going for bloods tomorrow to check thyroid, getting an ecg done, and getting a holter monitor on hopefully soon for 48 hours. Heart palpitations from T3 use has continued onwards 2 weeks after fully stopping. Every 20-62 beats or so I Can feel a skip beat then a larger beat. GP concerned for sure and needs me in ASAP to get checked out. If it's continued factitious hyperthyroidism it'll level itself out eventually but I don't want a heart attack in the process. Stay tuned... That beind said, I got really lean and look good, and i'll put some progress pics of my 'completed' 12 week diet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physlifter Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 So here are the "Final" pics for my dieting. As I sort through my health shit (had blood work today and ECG), i've now pulled back to just taking 500 mg test and 400 mg masteron, will ride that out for antoher month or so and then go back to full TRT until my endo appoint on dec 8. I will continue my cardio 4-5x/wk, keep up the training now that we are going back into step 3 in ontario (full gym openings). But my progress is still fantastic! Thoughts?

Physlifter Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 So I've been given a script for bisoprolol 2.5 mg as my heart is acting up with all day random premature ventricular contractions. Went to the hospital last week and was given full scan overs. All my bloods are 100% perfect, my heart is fine (athletic enlargement but within normal limits), but my ECG shows this weird shit. We don't know if it's from all the stress I have in life or if from some other source. The meds have worked and I rarely get a skip now. Training is reduced as I'm not allowed to exceed 120-130 BPM. But I'm still lean and following the diet and training. Weight at 207 lbs. Pretty much where I want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
