Currently 195lbs 6’ tall and I am 23. Body fat id say is between 14-15% as i got good definition in my arms, shoulders, upper chest, and back. Just not my lower back/love handles area and only my upper 2 abs show when they want to…
Never been on a legitimate cut before I just eat healthy unprocessed foods…I really want to get down to 10% body fat or even lower into single digits. But I dont want to just drop down calories dramatically id rather just tweek my workouts. Thinking ill eat at maintenance or just below but not too low. 2500/2700 calories sounds appropriate to me.High carb/1gprotien per lb of weight and low/moderate fat. I work at a commerical gym and im always tempted to just go workout but I fear over training since I just do heavy lifts but below is something ive mixed together to combine HIIT/body weight circuit training, and weight training/LISS to help prevent muscle loss, maybe even build a slight bit of lean muscle but the goal is to just lose as much body fat as possible, and go from 14/15% BF to 10/8%. Is 3-4 months unrealistic goal? Let me know what you guys think about the routine below if its a good strategy or if im just a fucking idiot, any input or changes you would make please post below. (RPT = reverse pyramid training for those not in the know)
