What can I expect from a cycle of LGD-4033?

Damn man you know your shit. I just thought it was unneccessary to have that much protein. I kinda wanna try it out as I always have followed the traditional bulk macros. Keep you guys up to date with my results

Also the MRPs are expensive , you could do like 70 grams of muscletech phase 8 and save yourself some money , I weighed mine out on my scale and put it in snack baggies , same macros as a good MRP and has the same blend of fast and slow digesting proteins and carbs , usually the MRPs have about 20 grams of carbs so you won't need all those starchy carbs through the day so it will help you lean out fast , I'd incorporate some rice or potato (about 150-200 grams within 1-1.5 hours after your training and that's all the starchy carbs you'll need besides some first thing in the morning , the rest of the day just eat veggies (green beans , broccoli,cauliflower, salad ) , you can find the Phase 8 on sale at bodybuilding.com , in your non training days you can drop your protein a good bit , take in about 300 grams and only have carbs in the morning and maybe 1 200 gram sweet potato mid day or with dinner and that's it on the carbs besides what you get from your shakes and MRPs

This looks pretty good right?
Drop the sodium a bit tho

The higher the protein, the higher the ability to burn fat and gain muscle...

The sodium is far too high...

Here is how I get in that kind of protein...

1 meal

8 egg whites - 28 grams
1 box of mushrooms - 10 grams
2 scoops of protein powder - 44 grams
1 serving peanut butter - 6 grams
1 serving oat bran organic oatmeal - 6 grams

I have this same meal twice a day... I put one scoop of protein in the oatmeal and as the eggs and mushrooms are finishing cooking, i put the protein powder on top and mix it in as i turn off the stove top... then it melts in and oozes peanut butter crunch protein... then i drizzle half the peanut butter on the oat bran and half on the egg whites... 94 grams of protein twice a day is 198... that's only two small meals... 12 oz. of chicken or fish will give you another 75-80 grams... i can of tuna is 24 grams... 1 PLAIN greek yogurt can go up to 18 grams... I eat two quest bars a day (only the natural ones) and those are 20 grams each... your post workout whey protein is another 20-25 grams... now your over 300 with minimal calories and fats... you get good carbs out of the oat bran twice and with the vegetables you would have with your chicken... It is not difficult at all to get a lot of protein from multiple sources...

Back and bis today.
Alright workout, my brain couldn't really focus for some reason. Probably cause my brother is not the best to workout with.
Debating on taking a rest day tomorrow or doing cardio and abs.
Lemme know your thoughts.
Also need advice on lagging biceps!

 

[dscarpin65]

Just killed a 10 oz chicken breast, Jesus am I full

 

[mikkeltaylor]

For biceps try barbell curls really squeezing the bar, chins, 21s, hit them a few times a week too!

Noticing a recomp in the mirror already. Felt so good in the gym today. My mind was cleared able to focus really well on the contractions. Trying to get 325g protein, 225g carbs, and 65g fat. Kinda hard to eat that much protein tho. Sometimes can be challenging for me to eat 6 meals a day as well

 

[dscarpin65]

Definitely feel different in the gym. Met a new PR today on deadlifts, and lat pull downs. Felt really hungry yesterday after downing 10 oz of meat. I think I'm gonna bump up cals to 3000 for a couple weeks and see how that goes

 

[mikkeltaylor]

Nice mate what did you deadlift then?

 

[dscarpin65]

275x6
275x6
225x12
I was doing 245x6-8 and thought fuck it and just threw a 25 on instead of the 10
