Running with helios

[creekrat]

Started my 12 weeks with Helios Nutrition today. Focus is cutting while maintaining or increasing as much lean mass as possible. Right now I'm 6', 220lb, and around 18% bf. Long term ultimate goal is 250 at 10%, although i'd be happy at 240 and 10. I'm on trt with 200 mg cyp ew and my total t hovers around 1100. When I'm at home the diet will be easy. I work offshore in the gulf of mexico and work a 14 day on/off schedule. Fortunately the rig cooks accommodate me and typically grill me some chicken or fish every day. The diet consists of 4 meals a day with breakfast and the last meal being liquid. This includes almond milk, granola, coconut oil, peanut butter, and protein powder. For the rest of my mealy i have this to chose from:

Protein options

1 ¼ scoop protein ( no more than 3/day)

5 oz chicken, steak, fish

1 ¼ egg beaters

15 oz Stoneyfield Plain Greek Yogurt(only an option at 2&4)

1 ¼ cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese(only an option at 2&4)

Carb Options

¼ cup 100% granola

¼ cup dry oatmeal

1/3 cup white or brown rice

½ cup cooked pasta

1 slice whole wheat bread

½ 98% Fat Free Flour tortilla

1 ½ sheets Graham crackers

11 ½ wheat thins

1 apple/orange

¾ cup blackberries/blueberries

1 ¼ cup Strawberries

½ Banana

12 grapes

Fat options

1 tbsp peanut butter(no more than 3/day)

12 almonds/cashews

¼ Avocado



An example meal

Protein 5oz steak

Carb 1/3 cup white rice

This is just for week one and will evolve as I do.

The transformation is coming bro. I can't wait to see your incredible before and after pics!

So far so good. I really thought that i would be hungrier throughout the day but i'm not. This is just a shock to the system and we should be ramping things up in the coming weeks. Lifting is 3 heavy days a week and cardio is 4 sessions a week at 440 calories per session. Note to self, do not do cardio the day after deads. feeling really good and sleeping well.

Here is at the end of week 1. Mind you I lost about 20 lbs before starting the diet as well as put on a little size

looking good brother I can't wait to see the progress!

What would be your dream goal for these 12 weeks?

 

[creekrat]

10-12% at 220-230 would be stellar.

While "running with helios" keep the sharp end pointed away from you

 

[creekrat]

this is after week 2. I am loving the definition of the tris and delts as well as the back thickness. These have always been trouble areas for me

Prison or a man camp?
