Hello ISarms family!

Before I jump into my stats, goals and meal plan, I thought I would tell you a little about myself and what fitness means to me. I was the fat kid growing up. My first addiction was to food and I used it to control the way I felt. Yes, I more or less ate my feelings. Around the age of 16, I came to the conclusion that I was the one responsible and nobody was forcing food into my face. I didn’t change what I was eating, but more or less how much I was eating. I lost weight while still eating pizza, cookies and crap. While this was good to some extent, I was skinny fat. At the age of 18, I began lifting weights. Not seriously, just messing around in the gym with friends. Of course I got the noobie gains, but this quickly came to a halt. My nutrition improved a little over the years, I cut out junk food and replaced it with healthier options. Due to the nature of my profession in my 20’s, I traveled 4 days a week and was in a new city every night that I was gone. This made nutrition and working out difficult, but not impossible. Through my 20’s, I managed to keep the weight off and stay in average shape.

Between the ages of 30-33, I completely fell off and out of the gym, but kept my weight under control through average nutrition. Nevertheless, I was skinny fat. At the age of 34, I returned to the gym. I began to apply principles I learned outside the gym to fitness. I read and learned how to properly setup up a nutrition plan/macros ect. I cut out alcohol completely. I learned how to better structure my lifting program. The results have been slow, but profound over the years. At the age of 34, I was 25% Bodyfat at 180lbs with a LBM of 135lbs. Now, at age 37, I am 177lbs at around 9-10% Body fat with a LBM around 159lbs. Most of this progress has been within the last year and a half as a result of focusing on heavy compound lifts.

Today, I enjoy fitness because it provides a sense of accomplishment. I love setting and achieving goals in all aspects of my life. Fitness is big part of my daily meditation. Anytime I am stressed, depressed or am having bad anxiety, I can go to the gym to lift weights or to the park for some cardio and am able to mentally detach from life. I have found fitness allows me to handle stress in a healthy manor rather than my old go to...drugs or alcohol.

This 12 week transformation falls during a transitional time for me. I am presently starting a 4-6 week cut then will transition into a lean bulk. I am on Doctor prescribed TRT at the moment 150mg/week along with LiquiAro 12.5mg EOD. I am participating in the 12 week transformation in order to continue to push myself as well as help, push and motivate other ISarms members who are participating. It’s a good way to get out and meet other members in the community here.

Current Stats:
37 y/o
5’10
177lbs
10% Body Fat
LBM 159 lbs.

Skin Fold Measurements: 7mm Stomach 8mm Chest 7mm Leg
Based on these figures, my fat caliper book says I am around 7%, but I figure I am closer to about 10% Body Fat.


Goals for 12 Week Transformation:

Goal Week 1-6 – Reduce Body fat 2% while maintaining LBM. (TRT Dose 150mg/week)
Goal Weeks 7-12** Clean Bulk; add 3lbs LBM – End up at 179lbs, 9% Body Fay and with 162 LBM **This goal may change depending on whether I start 3rd Cycle.

Cycle History:
1st – Test. Only
2nd – Test, TBOL, S4 & LGD

3rd – Will be Test, Deca with either an oral starter or finisher. Dosages & Starting Date TO BE DETERMINED as Doctor Bloods are in early March.

Current Workout Split
