It is finally time , I am nearly 220 lbs,and I have become stronger and frankly fat.I need to cut, I am a fucking highschool tool and i have sacrificed a lot(meaning not being lean enough to feel fucking comfortable) bulking up to 220. I am in a stage in which i do not feel comfortable to take my shirt off and my belly is getting visible through the motherfucking shirt,despite my wider shoulders.
So if im going to end like BPIFC so be it,(although i doubt it)Iam going to cut,fuck it all…So for a guy who has difficulties losing fat what do you suggest diet wise and supp wise.,.
I would honestly just set a date, slowly taper calories every week according to how soon it’s coming up. Plan all the workouts, plan all the high/low/medium carb days and pick 10 foods to eat the whole time (excluding green vegetables). Obviously put the high days on leg and back day.
Increase cardio every week based on results and only have a cheat day when you are feeling extremely flat and weak, no need to plan one if you don’t need it.
I always leave cardio out for a bit,… I honestly believe that you can achieve a lot of desired results via diet alone for most people, and you always want to have options in reserve (meaning, you made changes one at a time,… firing all of your guns at once will be too much for your body, and you will lose more muscle than you have to!)
So according to the mighty one :p,i should add cardio later when fatloss starts to slow down with diet alone,good.What type of cardio do you guys suggest and when?I am going to post pics tomorrow :D.
I’ll give you my basic cardio approach during a prep,… always leaving room for ‘step-downs’ as the contest date gets closer.
-No cardio at all, just dietary manipulation
-15 mins intervals 2x a week (recumbent bike)
-20 mins 2x a week
-25 mins every 3 days
-25 mins every 3 days + 20 mins low intensity steady state pre-breakfast (treadmill incline walking)
-25 mins H.I.I.T. every 3 days + 25 mins L.I.S.S.
-25 mins H.I.I.T. every 3 days + 30 mins L.I.S.S.
and if my skin isn’t thinning enough by 2 weeks out, I’ll actually add 15 mins L.I.S.S. after each weight session, but ONLY the last couple of weeks.
Don’t mean to hijack but what is the average time between the steps? This is pretty interesting, also what do you do for H.I.I.T sessions? I’m gonna do a recomp in march and find this really useful, will bookmark this.
I like your simple approach stu. I’m tired of all these big complex and boring numbers lol.

It really all depends on if you’re making progress, and at what rate it’s occuring. When you’re dealing with shifts in the body, small changes can yield big results if given proper duration. Personally, I liked to do my Interval work on a bike. The treadmill just seem to jarring on my joints (I’m usually above 2 bills), and the eliptical always feels like it’s going to topple over when I sprint on it.
Hey guys I have been proposed to work as a model in one the best magazines in here,I’ve turned down offers in the past because i needed to cut for the photos ,but maybe this time ill accept…i have time until september
