Hello everyone, a great pleasure to be here with you. I would like to thank everyone for their help on the previous post with my photo. I'm new to the forum, I don't know if I'm posting in the right section and in the right format, sorry about that.
I'm 46 years old, 5'8", 174 pounds. I started my TRT with 125mg/week of sustanon (I've taken 2 doses so far) and I'm not sure if this is the best ester for this or if cypionate would be more indicated. I have a lot of sensitivity with aromatization.

Age: 46
5'8"
174 pounds
Muscle mass: 40 kg
% BF: 10,5

Goals:
Muscle Mass: 45kg

Hematocrit: 50.7%

Diet: 2.500 kcal
CHO: 290g (45%)
PROT: 270g (42%)
LIP: 38g (13%)

Meal1 (6h):
Whey Protein 20g
Yogurt 200ml
Oat 30g
Whole grain bread 2 slices
Golden linseed 10g
Omega 3 - 2 caps
Creatine 6g

Meal 2 (9h):
2 boiled egg
120g rice
1 apple

Meal 3 (12h):
150 g boiled sweet potato
150 g of chicken breast
Broccoli 120g

Meal 4 (14h): pré workout
1 banana
1 serving of pre workout

Meal 5 (16h) - pos workout 1
200ml skimmed milk
30g whey
30g oatmeal

Training:
ABC training 7 times a week
Chest x Biceps
Back x Triceps
leg x shoulder
Cardio walking 5.5 on the treadmill or jogging 30-40 min post workout 5 to 6 times a week

I've been doing this routine for a while and my best was 42 pounds of muscle for 8.5% BF but lately I've been getting 40 pounds of muscle for 9 or 10% BF. I would like to reach 45 pounds of muscle with 7% BF. What can I improve in this planning? (diet, training, drugs...)
Thank you very much, I will post the results.

I'm happy to see you share your log @leandropirulito and you look really good.

What I'd like to see is your training actual set and reps.

Please post for 2 weeks training details, sets reps and exercises so we can talk how you can improve.

And your diet, is this the same ever day or you change? most guys changing a lot
 
Thanks for the answer.

I've been following this diet steadily for about 3 months but I've stalled in muscle weight and %BF. I follow the same diet every day.
Any help is welcome
 
I've never really played with carb cycling, I think that would be really good to break this plateau I'm feeling. I've never done this technique, some say to increase protein and fat when lowering the carb, others don't. I'm a little confused. Do you recommend any reading or an initial step?
 
you should do legs on a solo day

like legs should be all in 1 day , quads hams and calf muscles with some hip work

also can you actually post reps and sets and exercises you did? we waiting bro @leandropirulito
Hi, thanks for the reply. I posted my workout routine and it's on page 1. I'm thinking of doing a carb cycling diet but I've never done it that way, do you think 3 low carb days, 2 moderate carb days and 2 high carb days might be a good strategy ( 8weeks) ? I think about keeping the amount of protein constant and increasing the fats on low carb days but not exceeding 1g/kg. What do you guys think about?

@leandropirulito I saw the diet but not specific food amounts.

Carb cycling is a must if you want to make the gains. You should keep protein high and have 3 days high carbs 3 days low carbs and 1 day no carbs like keto, the 3 days is your hardest training.

You follow?
 
@leandropirulito Eu vi a dieta, mas não quantidades específicas de alimentos.

A ciclagem de carboidratos é obrigatória se você deseja obter ganhos. Você deve manter a proteína alta e ter 3 dias de alto teor de carboidratos, 3 dias de baixo teor de carboidratos e 1 dia sem carboidratos como ceto, os 3 dias são o seu treinamento mais difícil.

Você segue?
Perfect, I'll put together a diet with this format, thank you very much.
 
@leandropirulito please post the adjustments to diet you made, we are waiting for diet training updates but dont see them here
I started doing 3 low carb days (lunch and post workout only) and 2 moderate carb days.
Low carb:
Cho1.4g/kg
Pro:2.6g/kg
Lip:0.7gkg
moderate carb:
Cho: 2.7g/kg
Pro: 3g/kg
Lip:0.4

On the days that I lowered the carbs and increased the fats I felt better and more satiated, on the third day I found my skin better and a more defined appearance. Is it worth it to do low carb for about 10 days straight or is it better to cycle? What do you think of this ratio? My goal is to go from 10% BF to 7%
 
Sorry I am late to this log.
First advise is keep up the good log. Details question and answers. With that these guys will give good advice.
I am older at 56 but kind of the same as you.
10 body fat is a great start. Most can’t get to that. To get below that there is defiantly a plateau. 7 percent is obtainable but harder to maintain. Unless you are Dylan. He is a different bread but knows how to do it.
I can maintain about 8 if I stay focused. I have seen 7 and even did 5.5 once but looked like a crack head.
As you get older is gets different.
Carb cycling for me truly works.
Fasting is great for some folks. I end up trying to eat my arm by 10 am.
Right now you just need a recomp. Drop some fat and gain some muscle.
Both are going be mostly diet. Of course with that you need good lifting and cardio.
Bf drop will come from diet and cardio.
Cardio also needs ab and core work. Lots of it. You have a great start to that but time to step it up. Try 20-40 minutes fasted cardio every morning. I did great at 40 min.
You need to drop carbs and rais fat and protein.
Try different ratios to figure out what works for you.
I would say 1g to 1.5 G protein per pound of body weight
Carbs and fat make up the rest.
Example 45 %protein, 35% carb, 20%fat.
That is just one of several combos.
Some like their fat higher than carbs.

Sorry I ramble.
I’ll stop here and let you absorb this.

What are you using to track food?
I think your maintenance calories are too high.
At 190 lbs 6’ tall mine are 2500.
I bet yours are more like 2000. And to drop bf you would do better around 1500.

All just my opinion and with more details we can get more solid numbers for ya

Hello slyderkt and all. Thanks for the answers and the tips, I'm not doing fasted cardio. I'm only doing it 30-40min after training. I'm going to start fasted cardio.
My low carb diet has 1870kcal and medium carb days is at 2200kcal. I'm 5'8" and 174lb. I need to improve my water intake and adjust my calories, thank you.

@leandropirulito you're giving ratios not food, you understand this is a problem right?

for example if you eat 2 tbps of sugar thats also 30 carbs but if you eat a pack of oatmeal thats also 30 carbs. So we need to know what you actually eat.

Please post food amount and when you eat it.

like
200grams chicken breast 6am (or OZ if you want to use our measurements)

You should do low and high carbs but first lets see actual food.

What you did makes for a temporary effect. It's the rest of the work that's getting you lean

I think cycling low carbs way btr along with fasting. 3-4 low days then a high day then a fast works great for me
