New Asking for Advice

[bigphil40]

Hi all. I am new to the board, although I have been lurking for several months. I will give you a brief history and maybe you all can offer some advice. I am ……. Egads …… 40 years old. Over the last 10 years I have had 6 ankle surgeries two of which were fusions that did not work. Third time was a charm. The fusion attempts resulted in me being on crutches for 2 ½ years. Finally, 1 year ago to the week the orthopedic surgeon released me with no restrictions! One problem, I had ballooned to 320 lbs. Heh. That was at 42% Bf. Well over the last year I have lifted and been pretty diligent in my eating habits. I was very careful to create a caloric deficit of 500cal a day. I know how hard it is to lose a lot of fat and still build muscle. As of today, I am at 275 with 25% Bf. Not too bad added 21 lbs of muscle and lost 66 lbs of fat in the last year.

Here is my question, I feel like the last 10 years of my physical life has been wasted. Even at the age of 40 I want to build a body that most 20 year olds would envy! Maybe a midlife crisis. Heh I would like to try the pharmaceutical rout. However, I think I need to lose this last 45 lbs before start a cycle. Should I be patient and work another 2-3 months to shed the excess bulk? Possibly use a drug like cytomel to speed the process. Is it even too late to see the effects of AS. Do sides increase with age? Any thoughts? Phil

Welcome.... I know what its like to be a newbie here- I am too.

I would probably continue to lose a bit more before I started some AS, but, you may wanna consider shit like Clenbuterol, or even milder fat burners like Ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin stack.

again...welcome

Just started a ECA stack. You would think after a year I would have learned some patience. I think that the last 3 months will be the hardest. I could cut my calories back more, but I am making good strength gains and would hate to lose the muscle I have gained. How about cytomel? Can that help speed the weight loss without cutting calories dramatically? I will look up Clenbuterol. Thanks for the welcome!

Well, the Cytomel should increase your thyroid hormone levels, and technically, this should help you lose the fat a little easier, but, as far as dosage- wait till you get a reply from someone here who knows. As for the rest- it sounds like you are on the right track, just gettin a little impatient I guess. Keep doing what yer doing, check into the Clenbuterol, and/or wait until someone who knows about Cytomel answers your questions

I'm not sure about cytomel (haven't read much on it) but I would wait a little longer before starting on the clenbuterol. I would get an e/c/a stack and use that for a while. Make sure you get alot of protein so you don't loose what muscle you do have. Good Luck!!!
