diet and CARDIO will do that.

what do you recommend for cardio? i go to college, so i try to get pickup games etc., but when i'm focused on cardio i tend to do 20 min interval training... what do you (all) suggest

Perfect.

so, what type of training plan do ya'll recommend?

I read about the 5x5 and it is pretty appealing. I've been doing a plan similar to the book, body for life. The reps are: (12,10,8,6,12) with increasing weight and doing the last set at the 2nd weight, - for about 4 different exercise, with a 20 rep burn out after each exercise..i.e. I do the 12,10,8,6,12 on db presses then do 20 db flys.

Anyway, that was working for me, and I could keep it up, but I feel like I should probably change something as I go on cycle?

yeah , hold off on the gear for a while until you have your training and diet sussed. and do some research on gear, anavar is not going to make you cut!
