I'm not competing in a contest anytime soon but I put together a cutting plan as if I was going to compete just to see if I have what it takes to do it. I gave myself a date, May 16, the day I go on vacation. I bulked up until about the beginning of February and I have gradually cut carbs and increased cardio along the way. I'm 21 years old and after bulking I was about 205lbs. I can't really guess as to what the bf% was but it wasnt anything pretty. Maybe 14%. I am now roughly 194lbs and considerably leaner (maybe 10%). I have about 7 weeks until the day I set and I just wanna get some input from the guys who have gone through this before.
--When I finished bulking I was doing no cardio and taking in roughly 400-450g of carbs. Currently, I'm down to averaging 200g of carbs a day, about 250-300g of protein, and about 80g of fat. I do interval cardio 3 times a week after lifting for 15 minutes on the treadmill (1 min at 6.5, then 1 min at 8.5). On two off days I do about 45 min of cardio and abs. I do HIIT on the bike for about 15 min and then I go on the ellyptical for 30 min at a moderate pace.
My question is basically how does this look? The foods I eat are very clean, my biggest meal coming post workout and next biggest meal coming at breakfast. I have very little carbs at night and eat every 2.5-3 hours. I lift 4 days a week, do cardio and abs on 2 other days, and take 1 day off from the gym where I play street hockey.
So what do you guys think? I am mainly concerned about the amt of carbs I should be eating and the amt of cardio I should be doing for 7 weeks out.
