  6. can someone double check my macro math?

    I'm going to try this cutting thing. So my understanding is that; Y=1 gram protein x 1 pound body weight (136) X=0.3 grams fat x 1 pound body weight (136) so I am 62 kg which is 136 pounds. (Y x 4) + (X x 9) = 544 + 367.2 = 911.2 The BMR thing suggested I eat 2,218.05 cals for my level of...

    Lee Priest Gives PCT Advice to Bodybuilders

    Post cycle therapy, or PCT, is a very serious matter. A lot of guys can lift plenty of weight after a cycle of steroids, but have a lot of difficulty raising something else in the bedroom. One reason I steer well clear of the good stuff. Lee never denies his steroid usage, so he will have no...
