Depending on what levels your at the moment - I'd say pretty damn high to be 20%bf.....why let yourself get that big? I know a little excess fat is a given but damn. I'm still bulking and I make sure I'm never above 12-13% but usually hover at 9-10.....part of that is because of my job though, no-one wants to hire a fat PT

Well as I said, depending on what your levels are at, I'd usually up protein a little, drop carbs and drop fats a bit but throw in re-feed days. Cardio, again, dependant on where your at, your cals, metabolism etc....

Hard to say without knowing what your doing at the moment.

I'll just give my advice and thats start cutting now 3-4 more weeks on whatever diet your on is just going to add fat with minimal muscle. Don't try and cut too quick, 300 - 500 cal defecit, and build the cardio up.

id say start the cardio , and higher the reps when training , like 10-12 reps , start toning the muscle aswell as losing bf ,
its half the effort for later on then matey !

That BS

Just stick with whatever rep-range your using and train hard. The burn more calories this way and for longer as EPOC is present.

Warstu

roughly on 3500-4000 cals aday at most , is it possile to get bigger well losing bf%

my split is
chest bis
legs
delts tris
back

cavles twice week

and cardio 3 times week after weight
prob getting 250-300g protein 300-400 carbs 50 fat

thats rough

simeon69

just out of interest mate what bf % was you when you started? and how clean/ish has your diet been?

Robbie

You keep going on about toning muscle, I think you need to start posting such drivvel before someone takes something you say as fact...

Iirc more reps will help gain muscle endurance but has no baring at all on fat loss. Burning fat off through a calorie deficiency is the way. Calories through training come from the repair period of overload as I understand. So, its not how many reps you do, but achieving overload in your session. Then adding cardio in between days.

Id also argue that you cant tone muscle. You can gain definition through lowering your bf%.

(now if Id only listen to what I write Id get somewhere myself... )

I've got to say, your posts are bloody hard work reading sometimes. I know this isn't a grammar website but a considered and well worded post/question may return better responses...

I'm with you on that one mate. Warstu - please just pay a little more attention and re-read things before posting to make sure everyone can understand it completely

Warstu

Sorry guys about the grammar in my post.

simeon69 my bodyfat% was 15% at 83kg now 20% at 105kg( 1 year and 5months). Will start cutting start of march to give me time to get ready for the differnces in diet, my diet is 80-90% clean.


Would it help seeing rough daily meals ?

Robbie

That can't be nearly 17 stone surely!?!?

Get some new photos up!


I'm surprised your deadlift is less that your squat as well, Mark Rippetoe says everyone's deadlift should be higher than their squat...
