Greetings,
A little back ground info: 5”9”, 170lbs, 15% BF, and training off and on since 99 (I follow a mix of HST and DC principles in my training routing that works well for me). I have moderate experience with A.A.S., but have since decided to take a natural approach this round since recently getting myself into trouble and shrinking down from 195lbs @ 12% BF. I’m fairly knowledgeable in regard to sups, and my previous major was Nutrition before changing to Business Finance and Management double major.
That said, I haven’t been in the gym in almost a year. I’m weak, loads are extremely light, and endurance is shot. I don’t have a gym membership, but I do have access to a gym if needed and also have a decent home gym set up (mostly free weights). Normally when I start/get into a program I chart everything on Excel tracking my progress a long the way. This has worked wonders for me in the past.
My most recent problem is that I have let my diet go to sh*t and have accumulated a good amounts of BF around my waist and hips (which by the way is where I hold 80% of my body fat anyway). I’d like to first cut down 10lbs around these area. Knowing spot reduction is nearly impossible I plan to use a dermal and PGF2a in these areas. I also have the choice to use DNP if I feel necessary, but I’ll probably leave that out of the equation
Now I know many of you will protest but my question(s) is (are) do you think a few week dieting program consisting of only 3 protein shakes a day containing: milk, raw oat bran, extra virgin olive oil, protein powder, cinnamon, and blue berries and other fruits available, as well as a variety of natural sups for further nutrient contain (multi, ect), will hinder my progress? Of course I will also be eating low fat healthy veggie & protein filled dinners nightly to balance out the diet. Remember, this first phase is simply to shed unwanted body fat. The bulking phase will take place after once I’ve achieved a desired BF% - preferably around 12% or lower and weighing no less than 160lbs.
All though and suggestion as encouraged and welcome … & I apologies if my talk of certain substances are prohibited in this forum, but I just need you to know where I stand in my efforts to slim down before bulking up …
Regards,
Sprt
PS: As a side note, I usually dont have a hard time with recomping ... so there is a good chance I will lose that fat around the targeted area while gaining muscle else where. I guess I'm blessed in that sense.
