First Test E cycle- diet? Workout?

[W13ldcat]

This will be my first test E cycle. I have been very consistent over the last several years in the gym. Seems like the last year I have struggled and struggled to see gains. I carry more fat than I like at 5’10 200lbs. Any workout and meal plan recommendations while on cycle? Do I stick with low to mid reps and heavy weight?

Thanks!

Do you enjoy low to mid reps and heavy weight? If so ...then yes do that

I do, I enjoy lifting heavy.

Lifting is a long term activity-- as in it should be fun and progressive to be sustainable. But with the added hormones in affect, you will accomplish your goals faster. Just lift-- don't think too much about it. If you make a habit of it, your goals will come.

If you don’t know how to diet properly now, adding gear isn’t going to make a difference. 5’10”, 200lbs and “more fat than you like” indicates you don’t know how to dial in your nutrition. Get that in check first to get the most out of the gear.

The best workout advice I can give:

Pick one or two big movements for each training day and stick to them for a couple months. Get progressively better at them each week and spend time in all rep ranges. If your training isn't structured this way its very easy to fall into just going through the motions without having any way to actually measure progression.


The best diet advice I can give: (for you exclusively)

If you're carrying more fat than you'd like to I'd aim to stay around the same body weight if possible and slowly work to change your body composition. Linear meal plans don't work very well because your energy output differs day to day (i.e., one day you are off work and only train arms..one day you are working ten hours on your feet and are training legs. The energy requirement for these days are vastly different). Without going into extreme detail, consciously think about this daily and pull back your food intake a bit on days you know you haven't done very much. Visa versa as well, if you know you've had a very physically demanding day make sure to account for it by throwing in a bit more food. How you think about eating shouldn't be weekly, it should be daily! This is how you sustain a certain physique for an extended period of time.

Hope this helps!
