I had a very tasty weekend! Today's the Love-of-My-Life's birthday and we celebrated all weekend! She loves sushi and Italian food, so that's what I treated her to! I've noticed that I have been getting a bit leaner and leaner as the weeks go by, but my weight has been steady for awhile now - hovering at or around 170 lbs.
So this is what I'm going to do...
- Keep my training consistent - PUSH / PULL / LEGS 6 days on, 1 day off with daily goals of progressive overload
- Continue performing 2 sessions of 20 min. cardio per week at the end of Leg Days (I have been doing a 5 min. warm-up, 10 min. HIIT, 5 min. warm-down on the elliptical lately because of my plantar fasciitis)
- Drop calories by about 200 calories from carbs, keeping proteins and fats the same
Current Daily Macros (~3000 calories)
230g P, 350g C, 75g F
New Daily Macros (~2800 calories)
230g P, 300g C, 75g F
Refeeds - Usually Sundays (~3400 calories)
230g P, 450g C, 75g F
My strength has been consistent and managed to perform a 405 lb. deadlift for 3 reps on my 7th set a few days ago. I just need to be patient and I will eventually get there. The goal, I must remember, is to get sub 10% bf lean, maintain strength, maintain LBM, and keep calories (specifically carbs) as high as possible. Last year was my first attempt at getting really shredded for a competition, but I did that with very low carbs and calories. I am convinced that with the knowledge of gained in nutrition, diet, and training, the same results can be achieved without drastic measures. Let's go!
