Hey guys,
What suppliments do you use to minimize muscle loss during dieting? I have done 3 different bulking cycles so far. Each time I put on nearly 20 lbs of weight with a bit of fat added to my abs (never more than 2 inches added to my waist meas.), but despite trying different diet plans (ketogenic, cyclical ketogenic, low fat/high protein/mod carbs low calorie 2000), by the time I get my abs showing again I have lost nearly all of the muscle gains. I am beginning to think I am wasting my time with all this bulking and cutting crap.
I am currently 175 at 9% bf. I have bulked as high as 200 lbs 14% bf. I eat a very clean diet on a 40-30-30 cpf plan when bulking, when bulking I step my calories up as high as 5000, when dieting I go as low as 2000. I lift 3 to to 4 times a week high intensity, short sessions < 1hr . I have mixed up my training techniques every 6-8 weeks.
I am always really happy with my success at the bulking phase, my chest arms and legs seem huge at 200. Arms are 17.25", but I have to lose so much weight before my abs lean out. It is really frustrating. By the time I get my abs lean again I have lost nearly 3/4" off my arms and an inch off my chest.
Is it time to hit the juice?
