Want to Loose Weight + Keep Muscle - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hollywood · 08-02-2008, 09:19 AM

Hi all,.

Need some advice on loosing weight while keeping muscle.

I am male 22 6ft0 15stone, been gyming for a couple of years and have made decent muscle gains through protein and creatine. when i started i was about 11.5-12stone.

unfortunately i have also packed on some unwanted fat along the way and i am looking to loose about a stone roughly of fat while keeping the muscle i have gained. - I also want to try and achieve this in 4 months (as i am trying to look good before i go away).

so is this feasible? can and how is it done?

Thanks for you help.

If you are six foot and 14st then I would be more concerned about gaining muscle than loosing weight...

6ft and 13stone @ 12% BF would be skinny IMHO....

But to answer your question, a clean negative calorific diet, regular weight training and cardio and your goal is easily acheivable.

What is your current diet and training?

Sorry dude, 15stone, typed it wrong.

I eat 3 main meals a day with 2-3 protein shakes a day. Some days i will snack also which doesnt help.

I train 2 times (hard) a week currently.

What do your two days training look like...

What does your diet look like... What are your P/F/C macros look like...

just up your cardio and eat clean, you have plenty of room on your frame to pack on size being 6ft

Each training session lasts around an hour and a half ,
I change it up quite a bit but I do keep a record of weights lifted etc.

One Session I will hit Chest, Triceps, Shoulders.
Another Session I will hit Biceps, Traps, Delts.

One month I will do 5x5 rep-set ratio , then 3x10 another month.

- I dont do much leg work as my legs are large from other sports i have done in the past - I may hit them once a month.

My Diet Ratio is around 45%p/40%c/15%f

Lol...

Can you post up the exercises you do...

Can you post up the food you eat...

You are limiting your natural capability by not training legs.

Deads/Squats release lots of lovely natty Test & GH...

Train legs... Trust me...

Chris4Pez · 08-02-2008, 10:52 AM

lol looks like his is limiting his info

m8 you need to give a full break down of what you eat and when you eat it and also what you train and how e.g eggs 4 brekkie, chicken for dinner etc

I know im a fat kid but I used to think my legs are beast enough I dont need to train them and I think it was TH&S that told me to train them. Now they are getting monsterous! I love the way the look now and the power I have in them. So I will back up what TH&S says, train legs even if you think they are uber.

Is it possible to loose 14lb of blubber in 4 months, while retaining muscle?

simple question.

The hard part? How?, cardio, how much and what is most effective?
High protein diet, limit the carb/calories?.

Thanks.
