8 Week Comp - CBH

[CBH]

Bit about me:
Age: 49 (50 in June)
Height: 178cm
Weight: 104.2kg
Calorie Deficit Goal: 2500 Kcal
Macros:

• Carbs 40%: 240g
• Protein 30%: 200g (up to 230g on heavy gym days)
• Fats 30%: 82g

Goal weight: 88-92kg (depending on how I look) over 6 months. I recently lost 14kg over 12months with Mounjaro's help.

Daily Supps:

• Pre-Workout on gym days
• Creatine: 5-8g
• BCAA’s: 15-20g
• Protein Powder: 44g (double if low for the day)
• Fish Oil: 3000mg
• Magnesium: 520mg
• L-Theanine: 200mg
• Collagen:1250mg
• Vitamin C: 75mg
• Zinc: 3.5mg

Been going to the Gym for about 15 years, I change up what I do quite often, I find Chat GPT beneficial to give me a no brainer workout plan. If you want to know a bit more about me, have a look at my first post "New here, be kind"

I want to use this log to

1. Track my goal of losing weight without compromising muscle; I feel I have the best muscle mass I have ever had but it is hiding behind some fat layers.
2. Track my lifts; I feel there’s no way I can get back to my PB’s I had 10+ years ago, and I really don’t want to, mainly because at my age I would rather have great form than an ego lift that may break me, it takes a lot longer to repair at my age.
3. Try and keep an honest log of macros. I use the excuse of life getting in the way. It is hard, but I will try.
4. Receive some great advice, and occasionally give it to, just ask.

I'm not very good at consistent so I'm planning on logging one of the above points from the day or preceding days.

And finally, I'm really needy, I need to know way more information than I need to actually know. I don't like to assume anything, I want to get it right (the first time).

Are you running any compounds/gear with this log.

Monday Day 1 first log, body weight is the first thing I want to talk about. I don’t have access to a full body scan so normal bathroom scales are the next best thing.

I was at my heaviest at 114kg about 12 months ago, I got down to 99kg about 3 months ago. I can tell you that I lost more than 15kg body fat due to the amount of extra muscle I gained. This really proves that a full body composition scales are the way to go.
Any recommendations for body composition scales and any ones in particular i should keep away from?

The next two weeks will be a strict cut, I’m going to try and reduce my intake myself before I start on Reta, why not start now? Well that was a rookie mistake of mine, perhaps a story for tomorrow.

So far so good, I was able to bounce back from a big cheat day on the beers last week.

Last week is perhaps a good week on the scales to show a calorie deficit can be over a week instead of daily and cheat days are not a bad thing.


So I didn’t hit my protein goal today, but uncanny how I managed to get my macro percentages perfect:

Not from the start, but I will be adding Reta and Test-e, which will be a first for me.
