I'm coming to the end of a pretty successful cycle. I had been training for about 3 years previously and got myself up to about a pretty lean 190lbs. I started studying hardcore for this exam, got rx'd some Dexedrine to give me an extra boost (I usually just take Ritalin) and totally ditched my training and diet.
Long story short, I weighed myself after the test and was 149lbs
I looked almost sick I was so thin!!!
So I started a cycle to try and bring myself back to where I was, hired an IFBB nutritionist and lifting coach, and made some great progress. I'm 183lbs getting ready to start week 11. My lifts are also higher than they've ever been, ever.
Now, I have not gotten fat, but I have put on a little more weight than I would like around my mid section. I've had to reduce my training from 6 days a week to much less... sometimes just one day where I just do bench, squat, and deadlifts... the 3 big compound exercises... because I'm just too busy with school, work, and studying. And it's a legit busy... it's not simple becoming a doctor
So I'm back on the Dexedrine and have reduced my calories to about 2000 or so... I'm not sure exactly what they are, but it's +/- 100 of 2000. It's been like 2 and a half weeks and I am not losing weight. I have actually gone up from 181lbs when I started to 183lbs as of today. I really don't know what the problem is. I suspect my metabolism has gone down the tubes since I'm not kicking it in the gym every day, but I would also expect that combined with the Dexedrine and essentially cutting my calories in half, I would have to be losing some weight (fat). And it's just not happening.
I've had regular blood tests so I know my testosterone is very high (but since I'm not lifting as much, I have reduced the juice) and my estradiol is under good control. I feel a little bloated sometimes, but I don't feel like I'm holding on to water and I'm very careful about salt intake. And anyways, amphetamines are a diuretic so if I was, that would help.
Does anyone have any advice for what I can do to shed about 5lbs of fat? I'd like to do it while I'm still supraphysiological so that I don't compromise as much of my gains. I'm still pretty surprised I haven't lost any weight since last time I lost the weight faster than the speed of light. Where I'm at right now, you can see the shadows of my abs. I can tell they are there, but there is no definition. I want definition. I would appreciate any advice.
