TweetFor starters, I'm trying to get down to 210 and really lean. I was doing a 3 day split and wasn't losing any weight so I swithced to a 4 day split to get an extra day of cardio in. So, I've been doing a 4 day split for about a month and I stopped the drol AND dbol last week. I was getting sick on Wed so I didn't go to the gym, didn't eat crap all day, just laid around and rested. I go to the gym yesterday and I weigh 250. WTFH?!?!? I tought for sure I would have started dropping weight after stopping both dbol AND drol. But no, I'm up 5 pounds from where I was last dam week. I only get on the scale once a week and it's alway around the same time of day. I'm doing cardio 4 days a week and I've cut out all the crap food like fast food and chips and all that. Basically everything I eat is pretty clean. Sure, I may have some mac and cheese with my grilled chicken and broccoli but it's not like I eat the whole damn box. And, my pants are looser and even my wife is saying "what are you on?" Even a couple of my clients have said stuff the last couple weeks about my face looking much leaner than it did. (I got really fat during my Achilles tear rehab)
So, here's my dilema. I can't jog because my calf is still pretty weak and I just end up with shin splints. So, what else can I do. I've been cutting back on carbs but it's just not enough. I know once I can jog I will loose it quickly. I was kicking the soccer ball around with my son the other day and I was getting winded just going after the ball. But, I can get on the eliptical and go crazy without dying. I'm really in a catch 22 here guys. I need to jog because I think that's the thoughest thing on my body, however, I need to be careful of my Achilles still.
Now, I do realize that I'm getting muscle back that I lost and I do realize the omna/eq/npp is adding muscle. Should I just be more patient? I know the more muscle I add the more calories I will burn but I can't keep going up in weight. It just makes it that much harder on my Achilles. I was really hoping to be down to 230 by now but instead I'm up 10 pounds from when I started back. I was 240 when I started back. Of course, that was a very soft and squishy 240.
Any ideas you guys can give, any diet plans, anything will be much appreciated. I really want to drop down to atleast 225. At this point I'm thinking 210 is unrealistic. So, if I can make 225 that 25 pounds off of where I am now and that would be a huge difference. I'm doing everything I know to do and it's not working so I need some outside advise. I'm sure there is something I'm over looking or something I need to do differently but I need a different perspective on it.
Also, just to let you know what my training looks like, I've been wearing my Polar HR monitor through my whole workout and for the past month my average HR has been in the high 120's to low 130's for 90 minutes straight. That's 90 minutes of being in the fat burining zone. Some workouts (quad day especially) my average HR is in the high 140's. That's 90 minutes of that and still I can't lose weight.
Thanks!
