    I wouldn’t have gone 5k to 2.9k off the bat I’d be a little more gradual than that in future if I was you.

    In this phase I’d leave food where it is and add 20’mins daily cardio in fasted so it’s away from training.

    It was my first push push phase gained alot of weight. I actually was experimenting and yeah I agree with you the drop was drastic. But I’m learning now and definitely will be doing this next! Thanks brother

    I have just done a full year

    Started after prep 32 weeks push up from a stage lean point – 10 week diet into 14 week push up.

    Stick to primo & mast you won’t get any benefits over those using eq imo – eq is literally the only drug that makes me feel horrible and I get nothing from it. If your blood work is also good why change 0 reason for it bud.

    I like a low low dose of insulin from start, my reason is pretty simple. Adding insulin when your already insulin resistant doesn’t make sense but keeping some in whilst your sensitive only keeps you more sensitive in a way

    Thanks Kuba!

    I’ve had some issues with BG honestly whenever I’d measure in the morning it would almost be around 5.7-5.9mmol. However when i do my HBA1C it’s around 4 so something was wrong there. Also for your push, when dieting did you lower the androgen load? If yes by what margin? And when restarting the push again did you titrate back to the starting dosage or jump straight into it ?

    Thanks!

    I also started adding in 1 high carb day where I’d push cals to 3K and push carbs in while keeping fats around 20-25. Not sure if I should keep doing those or just push on the 1800 for the next 4 weeks

    Over how long did you drop drop 2900 to 1800 and did you just drop right from 5000 to 2900?

    how is performance In the gym.

    If you want to be as lean as you can in 4 weeks then you just keep pushing mate in reality but you shouldn’t need to push food lower than this ti see drastic changes based in the muscle mass you have and how lean you want to be IMO

    Performance is pretty much good on the first two days. I’m more of a HIT training guy so I keep the reps around 5-8 for 2-3 sets. Only the last two weeks Strength has slowly started to drop by 1-2 reps

    I ended the bulk, dropped cals to 2900 and then stayed for 2 weeks and each week would be dropping cals. Started the cut 7 weeks ago up until 3 weeks ago when I pushed the cals lower due to the rate of loss so went from 500 deficit to 800 to 1000

    I would say continue pushing down for the next 4 weeks. If you’re not doing cardio this would move things along nicely by adding that in. Energy is going to come and go when dieting but you’ve plenty of room to keep pushing ☺️

    Awesome! Will keep going 🫡

    You take them as low as needed based on fat loss. You look good here but you still have more room to keep losing before lean lean. How about adding in direct cardio other than just steps?

    So what I’ve started doing currently is post training I’d do 45 mins of walking on my walking pad to finish up the steps of the day. Normally I spread the steps across the day but now around 6000 steps in one go.
