I'd stick to test-only for the first time, but YMMV. You should not worry about cutting at all, this is about size/strength. Once you get some meat on ya, you will be more able to reduce body fat. Trying to cut would hinder your gains somewhat, due to restricted calories or whatever, although you might look into cutting out some carbs towards the end.

Dude, judging by your example, you're still not eating NEAR enough. As well, you need more real protein sources later in the evening. Right now, you're using 5 protein shakes. Protein shakes are good for keeping that positive nitrogen balance through the day, but to build mass you NEED SUBSTANCE.
Start trying to incorporate more chicken, fish, some beef, and other sources like cottage cheese into your diet throughout the day. You arent going to add mass, even on test, without eating A LOT. |

- breakfast is good.... - no pre-workout meal and before that your last meal was 4 hours before. Your pre-workout meal should be the largest carb meal of the day (90-120 minutes before)..... - no post-workout meal!!! that meal should be huge as well dude. shake just doesn't cut it after you train...... - wtf is a "roast carrot"? - you have no dinner and actually your last real meal was at noon.... here is what your layout should look like: - 5am - what you have listed is fine (I'd personally eat more carbs) - 8am - protein & fat source - 11am - protein & fat source - 2:30pm - carb & protein source (a sh*t-ton of carbs) - 6pm (or whenever you finish training) - carb & protein source - 8pm - protein & fat source how much do you weigh dude?

I agree. ALot more food. i also think 4 weeks is way to early to expect to see changes in the mirror. The strength gains are mostly placebo at this point. in other words, youve thought yourself stronger cause your taking Test. The mind is a powerful thing.

I was just messing with you, Neil. I'm about as lean as a sumo wrestler, haha. My bottom two abs are still being relentlessly stubbourn and refuse to show up unless I'm working out. My lower belly flab is clinging on for dear life and my ass could put Jennifer Lopez to shame.
I'm still working on cutting but I'm being as careful as possible to maintain my muscle and hopefully add a little along the way. Sorry for the hijack! |

You need water, our muscles are full of it. Also, drinking more water will actually help with bloating, as you guessed. ANYONE that is weight training consistently should be consuming upwards of a gallon a day, more if you are running enhanced supplementation.
