Short story shorter: I was originally a fat 215 lbs, cut down to 166 in ten months (Feb 2013-Dec 2013), I had a bunch of loose skin on my abs as a result of the weight loss. I started to do a fairly weak clean bulk after that (3,500ish kcal/day), and largely maintained a body weight of 175 lbs. or so. Decided to man up in October 2014, and have gradually increased my caloric intake to 6,200ish kcal/day. I had a minimally invasive laser surgery in December to tighten up some skin, but it seems to have done only a minor amount of good. I started my first cycle on January 14, 500 mg of test cypionate a week, injecting Wednesdays and Saturdays. I weighed 186 lbs. the day after my first injection, and am currently sitting at 193 or so morning weight, but I attribute this purely to water weight as I wasn't taking my AI until last week, and the test probably hasn't kicked in yet. Essentially I'm aiming to add as much mass as I can to fill out my abdominal skin.
I've attached a picture from October of what my abs look like, and I would say they largely look the same now (minus some ab definition due to putting on body fat). Also, surgery isn't an option to remove the loose skin, as I do not have enough skin for it, and the two plastic surgeons I've met with wouldn't even consider it. That's basically why I tried the laser surgery.
I have fairly developed abs so I don't think adding much ab work in my routine will do any good. I do have somewhat underdeveloped lower lats. I've started to add in a bunch of t-bar rows and close grip pulls ups to by two back days. Any advice guys?
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 193 lbs.
Body fat%: Hard to say due to the loose skin, but I still have vascularity on my shoulders/biceps, so I imagine it's still under 10%.
