Hey all,
So looking to lose some weight, college baseball coach wants me to drop down about 15/20 lbs to improve my athleticism. Kind of a weird circumstance, but basically as a baseball pitcher I have gotten too big from all the power lifting things they have had me doing (makes no sense, right? anyways...) and want me more lean and flexible.
I have already come to grips with the fact I will lose muscle and strength, but when they are paying for your college you jump through all the hoops they give you.
Current ideas I have are:
Lyle Mcdonald's Rapid Fat loss diet ( a version on PSMF)
Carb cycling with maint days and -1500 cal days
Slight deficit (1000-500) with large amounts of cardio everyday
as for fat burning supplements:
ECA and T3 (50mg-100mg/day) or
possibly clen (80mcg 2wks on, 2 off) and T3 (taper 50mg-100mg/wk)
Test P 175mg/wk to help maintain muscle
Workout:
Basically fullbody 2-3 times a week
Baseball practice 5 days a week
Yes I know I will lose muscle with these extreme measures. I am ok with that, that is actually part of the goal.
Anyways what ideas would anyone add? I feel like the best will include high levels of cardio. Also leaning towards workout days with more cals to workout harder.
Keto I feel like would compromise my workouts and energy levels too much.
So the question, what would you do??
