TheMovement here and Im looking to start another log and this one particularly documenting my weight loss and recomp approach to the summer. I have been recomping for awhile and the transition has been pretty smooth so far.
Goals:
-Id like to reach 10% BF
-See no more than a 10% decrease on my Big 3 lifts
-Become more of an ABOMINATION
Nutrition: Im definitely a higher calorie kind of guy and I pace alot due to my job. This allows for plenty more calories but too less and I really suffer, too much and I dont see the results I should so this is going to be a fun learning experience.
Currently set my total intake around 4200 cals. I started just over 5k and have been cutting it back every two weeks. Weights been slowly coming off and strength hasn't been compromised thus far.
Macros are as follows:
Carbs-525g (50%)
Protein- 210 (20%)
Fats-140g (30%)
As time goes on I will be dropping my carb intake and increasing my protein intake but that will be relevant as time goes on.
Cardio-
I attempt 3-4 cardio days a week. 2 higher intensity days and 2 lower. Lower intensity days are walking or bike riding. My higher intensity includes sprints, bleachers, crossfit workout, or HIIT class.
My current numbers as of 232 weight limit are:
Bench: 375
Squat: 455
Deadlift: 605
Maintaining strength is of the utmost importance to me but with this frame and at my age there is plenty of room for improvements and my journeys only just beginning!
