awesome advice guys....I have been riding cardio bike in my gym and I now see what you are talking about with losing strenght during my work out...My carb intake is only before workout periods....I don't eat any carbs after dark( except in my protien shakes but I am about to get no carb ispure so that will be gone too). I usually try to drink 3 to 4 table spoons of olive oil before my work out....I spread that out not all at once....My protein intake is huge.....3 chix breasts a day...sometimes I throw a steak in there too plus at least 250 to 300 grams of protein from my shakes....I spread it out over time to bc I know the body can only take so much protein at one time. I will do my cardio at night before bed now...usually I work out mid day. I thought you had to keep your heart rate at a steady speed to lose fat? if not just walking for an hour a day does the trick? pincusher what is the difference in a cutter and bulking cycle if the cutter doesn't help with fat loss? could I get the same results if I just to a bulk?
some of the differences between a cutter & bulking cycle are that certain steroids will only work well if you have a very high calorie & protein intake where some will work even at low amounts. certain steroids are also good at maintaining strength & endurance while dieting down during a cutter or for contest prep.
products commonly used during a cutter: test prop, tren, anavar, winny, eq, nan/phenyl, primo, masteron. all these are good because of low water retention, they are fast acting, they provide extra strength & endurance to get through your low cal restrictions from your cutting diet, primo & masteron work very well on a low calorie diet and with someone with an already low bf% who wants to get it even lower still.
long estered test, deca, dbol, anadrol, eq, & tren also work well as a bulking product. primo & masteron will work but you need very high dosages for them to turn into bulking products.
you should try to get more of your protein intake from whole foods and not as much from shakes. get most of your carbs from veggies cause the fiber will also be good for ya. v8 juice is great if you have a busy schedule cause it is basically a vegetable concentrate.
make sure you also include carbs in your post workout shake or meal. it is very important to take in carbs then to help your body recover faster from the workout.
