Time for my first cut

[ch3mical]

Hey everyone,

I have been bulking for the last 4 months, and would like to begin cutting now, as my wife and I are planning a trip to Hawaii in October. After my bulk, I'm sitting at around 15% body fat, and need to get that down to a point where I'm comfortable in taking my shirt off. I also have moobs, so I need to get rid of those as well.

During my bulk, I have been taking in 3500 cals on workout days and 3000 on non-workout days.

I'm looking for advice on a routine that will help me accomplish the goals I listed above (lower bodyfat, get rid of moobs) and keep the muscle I gained during my bulk.

Also, how many calories should I now be taking in? (both workout and non-workout days)

What supplements do you recommend during this time? (taking creatine and multi-vitamins right now along with the usual protien powder and waxy maize)

Thanks!

Eat better, eat less, increase aerobics,

Man boobs...hhhmm. Did they come from gear or are they genetic ?

That will probably need a doc.

Self medicate with letro..maybe.

Or get the gland cut out. I did.

Im afraid they are genetic. I've never used gear, and have had them since puberty, although I've never had my BF below 10% so I'm not sure if they will go away themselves or not.

Well bro..I ain t no doc but I m a walking life long on going experiment with my body and mind.

My gyno was from test period.

Genetic gyno can be as a result of body fat but also as part of how you came out of puberty.

A doc could try letro or it s equivalent to see bout reversing it. How bad is it ???

Pulling your body fat waay down could make it more apparant.

Post a pic ??

I was always chubby kid before puberty, so I know I had them back then. When I hit puberty, I grew tall, very quickly and became less chubby, but the moobs stayed. They aren't terrible, but I'm at the point where I can't wear just a t-shirt, as I am very self-conscious about it. I decided to bulk up and add some muscle to my frame before lowering my BF to a good level so that I would have some decent muscle on my frame first. The fat is just in the lower part of my chest (behind the nipples).

Also, dumb question, but if I get surgery to remove the gland, does that permanently stop it from coming back or would taking test still give it a chance of coming back?

What is the process in having the gland cut out ? Is it an easy procedure that most health insurance will cover ?

Heh, thanks for jacking my thread. Although, I'm curious about this as well, so I'll let it slide.

It's a pretty simple and fast procedure.

.
The only thing that really complicates it is if you have developed "fingers" from the gland throughout your chest..
Most insurance will not cover cutting the entire gland out as it is often considered to be cosmetic.

Sorry bro. I sometimes do that without realizing it.

Ill tell you from experience, the lower you get your body fat range the less moobage is evident. The trick is getting specific regions to cut. Each individual will store/burn fat from wherever their genetics dictate. NOTHING can manipulate that but liposuction or extreme injectables like lipoden, HGH fragment, etc.. Plus, the less body fat a man has the less area there is to physically convert test to estro. In the body fat is where that happens
