My cycle was for 10 weeks and damn my flat bench is up to 250 from 185. And I got my BF tested today at 4.2% (from 5.7% last summer)

No shit....Happy Birthday Tomorrow you wobbling, tuxedo wearin' mutant...Tux said:How young and short are you? 250 bench after a 10-week cycle is pretty weak bro. I know I had a decent bench when I started lifting, but before juice, when I was 5'5", 118lbs, I could put up 225 raw, with a pause on the chest, in a PL meet. And did you get your bf tested hydrostatically or via calipers or something? B/c 4.2% is about what most competitive bbers are ONSTAGE... maybe .5-1% less. 4% isn't healthy to maintain for most people, so if it's that low you may get sick alot. Still, congrats on the gains, they are great improvements, it's just that you started SO low, I wonder how slight and young you are? No offense.

FBodyGuy02 said:Oh and BTW - the BF test was administered by a fitness teacher/trainer at my work via calipers. Each "pinch" was taken 3 times in the same area for more accurate results.

LVTitan said:those aren't very accurate, when i was tested with the pinch caliper i came in at 2%
bruce410 said:yeah caliper is not accurate. as lvtitan said i test at 2% and we all know that is not possible, then i starated throwin around 5% as an estimate, and as lean and ripped as i am still i think more like 6 or 7 cause 5 is bananas. 4.2 sorry bro you would be passing out as you wrote this

wtf is youre problem.s.t.f.u.Triple J said:bro i respect you for posting your stats, and you are modest regarding your abilities, probably too modest. see, most of us think that results of that level should be easily achievable without gear. but at least you got results with the gear added. so it shows your body is capable of something. now go back to the drawing board and figure out and tell us, why you cannot do that natural. no point taking juice to go from a 140 pound weakling to a 160 pound weakling. bad example to the youth of america. i have got to side with george bush on this one.

FBodyGuy02 said:Note - my "max" bench is probably a bit higher than 250lbs. I was a bit fatigued at the time I tried for my max. When I put up 250, that was after 3 sets, of which my 3rd set consisted of 225lbs at 12 reps.FBG

JLA said:Nice results bro - as long as you are continuing to make progress, none of that other shit matters. I would be willing to bet that a lot of guys are at a point were they cannot gain anything unless on cycle...
van_wilder said:Sorry bro... can't respect that. I stronlgy feel you've chosen to take the easy road... and that is disrespectful to everyone who has put in their time in the gym and in the kitchen. I think you have to put in your time in and learn how to train and eat properly and put some size on yourself before you hit the roids. And don't give me the "no matter what I do I can't gain naturally" cuz i started at 132lbs too. I don't mean to flame but I feel pretty strongly about this...just my.02
No hard feelings...

I don't know what you consider low dosages but I assure you that world championships and olympic medals have been won on lower mg per week. To add some perspective, in all of the cycles I've run (granted this was over a lot of years and quite a while back - still human physiology hasn't evolved in a decade or so) I've never exceeded 1 gram. I can say the same for a friend who was one of the better lifters in the country for a number of years (could put 500 overhead, front squat > 600, clean 480). I can go on but the point is that this is just to add some perspective on what are low dosages and what aren't and these aren't and definitely not for a first cycle.
I'd focus on eating a lot more and improving the big lifts. You might consider ordering Rippetoe's book Starting Strength (www.startingstrength.com). He's one of the better people in the country at adding weight to novice lifters - routinely getting 30-40lbs on an athlete in the first 6 months. Here's an overview on his squatting program and progression for the first year: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4658227&postcount=235. There are interviews with him and Glenn Pendlay over at www.readthecore.com. Only the first part of Rippetoe's is available yet which is pretty much bio with more on programing for novice, int, advanced lifters from him and Glenn due next month. The direct link to the one from Glenn a few month's ago is here: http://www.readthecore.com/200503/reynolds-glenn-pendlay.htm
This is my thread in the training section that covers a lot of topics: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375215
Here's a very solid workout that's put tons of weight on people over the years - you'll note the similarities between Bill Starr and Rippetoe's methods. Glenn Pendlay also uses very similar methods on his lifters: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4497774&postcount=15
This is probably the only post I've written on nutrition and it's concerned solely with the nature of caloric excess and its absolute requirement to gaining muscle. Given your low initial BF level and given that it was lower post cycle which means you sacrificed a lot of potential LBM gains it's worth a read: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4866519&postcount=465
If you have questions, ask in the training forum. Make use of what you will. Hope it's helpful in some way.
There's a lot but take a browse through the weighttraining forum and you'll find a number of people using these programs now. Many naturals have put on 10-20lbs in 10 weeks - a lot of them have had years of experience and a number have used drugs before so we aren't talking a population of rank beginners. One guy comes to mind, Jim Quini who's journal is here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391939. It starts at weak 6 with him only up 4-5 pounds (still not bad and almost 1lb per week). Somebody was nice enough to tally up his calories and let him on to the fact that he wasn't eating enough. That was April 18th. Now July 8th he's around 203ish with serious increases in all the core liftsFBodyGuy02 said:Madcow- Holy shit bro. What a great post! Tons of great info. Thanks alot. I will definatly be doing more reading. K to ya!![]()
BTW - When I mentioned "lower dosages" I mean in comparision to most of te fellas on this forum...
FBodyGuy02 said:Dude. WTF? It's people like you that run this forum into shit. Posts like this discourage other from learning form other people past experiences, mistakes or not. Ease up man, don't take this shit so personally...I'm not trying to dis anyone on this board at all.
By telling me "I think you have to put in your time in and learn how to train and eat properly and put some size on yourself before you hit the roids." is not going to change anything. I am an adult, and I can make my own decisions in life. I feel strongly about this...So quit yo bitchin', thanks.

Whoever tested you--needs to get better educated or his meters need calibrating....either 4.2 is NO WHERE NEAR accurate.....
(Still look good and ready to bust out---dont get me wrong---just not 4.2 or whatever....probably more like 8% (which is still great).....
Here bro--this is 4.5% BODYFAT....
