Following a three day per week full body routine.

It’s working for me due to time constraints etc.

Had to drop the Tren as I got nasty stomach and digestive issues.

I was nauseous 24/7.

I have also added Proviron 25mg a day to the mix and cut my Ai in half.

500mg Tren is a hefty dose. I’m sure you had lots of sides. I’m on 200mg and minus some heartburn I have zero sides. Maybe lower the dose to like 150-200 a week. Or replace it with NPP.

I’m taking a break for a month and then 20mg ed, and seeing how I feel.

It was late when I got back from the game with the fam, so it was a quick garage session.

Hit squats and BSS hard and quick.

Worked up a good sweat and I’m sure I’ll have a little doms.

I forget how simple movement can be very effective.

Definitely following and excited to see your progress!!

Why only 200 grams of protein? What do the rest of your macros look like?

You're doing great sir but yes I would raise protein if I was you. Might as well get the most that you can out of your diet.

What do you think I should shoot for 250?

2000 calls per day
Under 100 grams of carbs

250 would be great.

Nutrient partitioning is a real thing. You're short changing your self if you don't get enough protein. The body can't convert anything else into protein. If you have extra protein and your body needs carbs it can convert protein into glucose but it can't covert carbs to protein.

Man 2k calories isn't very much for an extended period of time. Any idea what your maintenance calories are? 🤔 Are you consistently losing weight? If your weight loss stalls I'd raise calories a bit for a while bc your metabolism might slow way down. Do a week of say 2500 calories to give your metabolism some incentive to fire on all cylinders.
