I think people might have been overwhelmed by the post. I just saw it now.

My guess is that you were eating too little food early on. Too few calories, too little protein, not enough heavy weights (maybe?) led to muscle and strength loss.

The good news is that you should be able to get it back quickly with proper nutrition and training when you're done with the fat loss. By the poor man's ECA stack, sounds like you're still going for fat loss?

You listed the foods, but not the ratios, calories, and macros. Any ideas on those? Tracked them at all?

You don't need all the supplements, really. At least some are a waste of money and some aren't good.

SixStar creatine-lifting days - you don't need to calories in the sugary part of this. Plain creatine is fine and cheaper. Kook Aid is calories. unless of course, you are counting on those calories to fuel your workout... Still expensive, though.

SixStar whey protein-every day - fine. Any protein powder without added carbs is fine. PP is just food in powder form.

SixStar nitric oxide-lifting days - worthless product NO products don't work.

{ZCA stack-self assembled and capsuled by me in a 400:400:54 ratio(yeah i know it's higher than normal, but that's the mix that works best for my energy level in the morning)Now Bitter Orange, Bayer aspirin, 2 cups coffee-black}a.k.a. poor man's ECA Stack - if it's working for you, go for it.

flaxseed oil-every day - flaxseed oil is a bad source of omega-3s. Use fish oil, instead.

one a day multi-vitamin - fine

glucosamine chondroitin - joint problems? fine.


Thought starters. Hope this helps.

Good job on the fat loss!
