Hey
Looking for a bit of advice,
I’m 6’3 and 19.2 stone with a 38inch waist. This is down from 20.5 stone and a 41inch waist 3 months ago.
Thing is I want to keep losing weight as I have a high bf count at the moment I reckon and seem to carry lots of weight around my chest and under arms, but I also want to keep lifting heavier weights as my goal is muscle size rather than slimming down.
Being that I do have to lose quiet a bit of fat am I better off working harder at cardio until my bf is down and then packing the protein and muscle diet in, working harder at weights from that condition.
I really want to work at the cardio and keep building the weights but I’m not sure if its counter productive to some degree??
A typical days feed is:
8am - Muesli and skimmed milk
10am - Protein shake
12.30 - 1 x tin tuna, big handful assorted veg, small handful pasta/rice/potato
1pm - Creatine sup and 1 hour at gym
2.30pm – Protein shake
4.30pm – 1 chicken breast, large handful veg, small handful pasta/rice/potato, creatine sup.
I generally don’t eat after 5pm if I can help it.
Gym wise I do:
Monday lunch - chest
Tuesday morning - 40 min incline walk
Wednesday lunch - back and Bi’s
Thursday morning - 40 min incline walk
Friday lunch - shoulders
Satuday - 40 min incline walk
Sunday - Legs and Tri’s
Any pointers, advice or comments all welcome and appreciated.
Cheers

Mate you have to keep eating throughout the day - After 5 just keep it to protien and veg and leave out the carbs.
If you stop eating at 5 ed your metabolism will slow and you'l find it harder to lose bf - something about your body going into starvation mode and storing up instead of burning.
Theres no reason you cant diet and lose weight - how do you think bb drop 2-3 stone to get into comp shape.
Keep the weights going to work your muscles and keep the cardio and diet up to burn of fat.

..not sure if your doing this already but the morning cardio should be done on an empty stomach.

IMO I'd concentrate on stripping the weight first and then working on your size/strength.
