Although i don't write much, i read alot on this forum for a long while. My first language is french so bare with me please.

Last summer i did the Dave Palumbo Diet for 6 weeks, cheating a bit here and there (because i didn't research it throughly before hand) and still went from 240 18.5% BF to 212 looking alot better in the mirror (unknown BF), i was so proud.

Since then, i have put muscle during the winter, but certainly some weight with all the stress in my life and all bad eating. My stats went up too though, so i am stronger then before.

I want to run the Diet again and I am really serious about it.

ME:
21 years old
6''
230 LBS
around 18% bodyfat
Bench 260 3 x 8 (+warmup)
Squat 315 3 x 8-10 (+warmup)
Dealift 275 3 x 8 (+warmup)


These stats are approximately if you need anything else tell me!

My Questions;
Can I (should I) use creatine Monohydrate this time around?

Should I be calorie deficient on this diet? (I think i saw somewhere that dave palumbo is not about calorie deficient its about science?!?)

I am going to be using Clenbuterol this time around (I used ECA before) since it isn't a "steroid" i shouldn't worry about my age right?

I wanted to through in some Test E but I am too young? Could I use a lower does just to retain my muscle or Clen will do the trick?

Am i missing anything supplement wise;

Protein Isolate
Fish oil
Fiber Supplement
Multi Vitamine
Vitamine C (before and after workouts)
BCAA
Creatine
Green Tea
Clenbuterol Going up from 20mcg/day

As for Cardio everyone refers to P's Cardio prescription, I can't find it, can someone link me please!

Thats all for now, soon to appear in the log! Thank you!

For the cardio, what is typically advocated is start at 35min with bpm~120 either first thing in the morning or postworkout. Increase that by 5min every day until you reach 1h, then split it into two sessions of 30min (am and postworkout) and continue adding 5min to each until you reach 2h per day.

My Questions;
Can I (should I) use creatine Monohydrate this time around? YES MAKE SURE ITS ONLY CREATINE AND NO SUGAR IN IT

Should I be calorie deficient on this diet? (I think i saw somewhere that dave palumbo is not about calorie deficient its about science?!?) FOLLOW THE 200LBS MALE DIET AND YOULL BE FINE

I am going to be using Clenbuterol this time around (I used ECA before) since it isn't a "steroid" i shouldn't worry about my age right? CLEN WORKS WELL ON THE DIET...START AT 20MCG TWICE DAILY AND INCREASE BY 20MCG EVERY TWO WEEKS UNTIL YOU HIT 120MCG DAILY....LEAVE IT THERE AND TAPER OFF AFTER THE DIET IS FINISHED

I wanted to through in some Test E but I am too young? Could I use a lower does just to retain my muscle or Clen will do the trick? CLEN IS PROBABLY ALL YOU NEED FOR NOW

Am i missing anything supplement wise;

Protein Isolate
Fish oil
Fiber Supplement
Multi Vitamine
Vitamine C (before and after workouts)
BCAA UNNECESSARY
Creatine
Green Tea
Clenbuterol Going up from 20mcg/day

As for Cardio everyone refers to P's Cardio prescription, I can't find it, can someone link me please! START AT 40MIN ONCE DAILY MORNING BEFORE BREAKFAST OR POST WORKOUT, ALWAYS ON EMPTY STOMACH...INCREASE BY 10 MIN EVERY WEEK OR TWO DEPENDING ON CONDITION

Why the vitamin c before and after workout instead of one daily dose? How much vitamin c?

1000mg before and 1000mg doesnt cost much and brings cortisol level downs appearantly!

I've heard the same thing and may have to give that a try myself

I've been doing it for a while, i don't "feel" a difference, i don't think i should either.

Unless you are running stimulants and are completely stressed out there should be no reason why you have elevated cortisol levels...especially ones that need to be controlled.
