tryin-nate · 03-03-2008, 01:06 AM

Hey really would appreciate any help with this! Im new to the site for starters so hello to everybody! Im 5"9, 12st 8lb, and 10.7% bodyfat (prob more like 12-13 as i dont really trust the measuring machines at my gym) anyways iv been training now about 14 months and have made some nice gains in size and strength, i currently eat well and take protein shakes and met-rx nos creatine for extra help. Im looking to lose more bodyfat and look lean particulary around my midsection, but i am worried about losing muscle that iv worked so hard for! i lift 4 x a week on mon,tue,wed,fri and do a boxing circuit on thursdays. 1st: is this to much (train different bodyparts each session? and 2nd: how can i keep my size and strength but get my bodyfat down enough to sufficently show good ab development?

Any help would be great, thanks
