3j,

Can you explain what "macros" are? I will never be a BB. Should I care?

Do you know if subcantaneous being basically the marbling and protection for internals burns 1st THEN fat cells on top?

Thanks

Ok for number one,

Macros, or macro nutrients, are the 3 main forms of energy we recieve from our nutrition. Carbs, fats, and proteins.. Those are macros

Did you mean subcutaneous?

What exactly are you asking? Are you asking when your cutting what type of fat is the body pulling energy from?

Do you believe in site fat reduction through exercise (had to through in the "through exercise" or I might get a smart ass comment about liposuction)?

When going into a show/ photo shoot do you like any natural(herbal) diuretic vs pharma diurectic?

Genetics play a major role in where you will put on and where you will lose fat from first.. There are statistical averages.. For example the midsection is most stubborn for majority of people. But its highly individualistic and I do not believe in site fat reduction in that way

I personally do not like or condone the use of diuretics last week of show.. If you're doing it right you won't need diuretics.. But if you do need it, Rx is the way to go

I qualified for TRT having serum test levels of 495 ng/dl. Do you think relatively low levels of test like that would make building muscle more difficult/limit my potential for muscular development?

 

[3J]

How old are you?

 

[KngShisa]

How old are you?

32 years old

Test is not the only thing contributing to your ability to grow muscle, but a person on trt will always have advantage


Your levels aren't that low.. Esp given the fact that your levels Flux regularly due to environmental factors.
I would look into trying natural ways of boosting testosterone first through nutrition and better sleep schedules

Yes. I am referring to the deep brown subcantaneous fat and not the adipose close to the surface. I've noticed over the past two months my adominal cavity ribs seem to be getting closer together. I was wondering if subcantaneous deep fat is really always a fixed amount we have as humans and the adipose surface fat is what ebbbs and flows.

As far as macros I follow several Comp BB and I see some talking about macros.

Thanks!

Mine was 346.... Life is much better with Test over 850...everything is easy and a sense if well being like I am bhudist monk at times. Test should prescribed to 75% of all men.

When you stall on fat loss do you up cardio or cut calories first?

There is 100% absolutely no such thing as spot reduction.

I like to up cardio when I stall on fat loss. If that dose not work I will start adjusting calories.

when overweight the body will use white fat mainly for stores.. brown fat and subq fat are secondary.. though i have read studies that indicate people that are lean carry more brown fat than those that are obese.. brown fat can more easily be stimulated... likely because white fat isn't as readily available though

think of losing weight like an onion... first you cut calories a bit and lose weight.. then cut some more.. then add some light cardio... then move your cardio up..

you do this slowly as your body stalls.. and aim for 1-2lbs a week of weight loss

Great thread, 3J! Post up brutha's

the only time i have seen some choppy evidence of it is with gh injections

Even then, there is no legitimate way to spot reduce. Your body sheds fat as a whole. It won't just take fat from spot x or y. As I'm sure you know, that's just not how the body works. And I'm not just some dude saying this Lol. I have a degree in exercise physiology and all that jazz
