Doh! This thread isn't steroid related. SOrry for posting in the wrong place!

If you are a newbie trainer or have some freaky genetics, yes.

First time you diet down for a comp, yes.

Other than that, it is usually maintaining what you have and taking off the bodyfat.

Yes, with substantial dose of legitimate hGH you can do so without dieting. AAS and HGH .

anabolics are great for muscle tissue retention

So as a "seasoned beginner" would you say lose the beer belly before trying to bulk up? Or bulk up and then lose the beer belly or what...

Eating a ton of calories to bulk up and doing cardio to burn calories/trim doesn't make sense.

My friend did a test/tren ace cycle over the summer. He got shredded on it and I mean cut. If I had to guess his BF% was under 5. But he also ended up 15 pounds heavier from where he started. He is a seasoned user so I dont know if that helps and its not like he was fat to begin with.
What I do know...
5 9
Beginning weight was 205
His ending weight was 220
His BF% was under 10 when he started cause he was vascular and you could see all his abs.
When he finished that cycle it was definitely under 5 because you could see everything!!!!

Assuming it was natural...

If you have a beer belly, then I would not recommend any more bulking.

How about training, some cardio, eating a healthy balanced diet and see how your body transforms.

So can you give me some pointers? Of my time at the gym what % to cardio and what % to lifting? Should I focus on more reps or more weight or what?

I have decent muscles and the beer gut isn't very large- but its more than I'd like it to be. I'd like to tirm it off but not lose what I've worked so hard to earn.

Investigating diets as well..

Percentage times?

Interesting question.

As most peeps hate cardio, I do think that 75% of the time training, 25% of the time doing cardio to start with.

If you are not getting the results you want, up the cardio.

There are a lot of great threads on diet on this site.

I would check the women's forum, there is a sticky with a link to the best threads for diet and training.

We do like to be organised and keep a clean forum
