Gender: | Aight guys for after my bulk cycle I want to start cutting, with losing as little muscle and strength as possible. I plan to keep my routine with added cardio into it, and possibly more reps. Now this is where it gets bad. I really dont like anything other then meats, simply because as soon as i start carbs its harder to control what I eat, aka the pantry gets tore up. Anyways what i was thinking of was an all protien VERY low carb/fat intake. Now this is more then just a regular cut, I talking bout 50lb or 60lb, simply because I have that to lose. Aright go ahead and rip this post up :P im sure its coming but just tell me what you think about the diet, and what if any i need to change with my workout. |

Gender: | How did you manage to bulk up with 50-60lbs of fat? With 7-10yrs experience I don't know how you could've screwed your diet up so much Keep in mind that you still need carbs even when cutting, they provide alot of energy. As long as you monitor your fat and carb intake and keep protein high you should be alright, just don't drop carbs down to like 20grams a day...IMO that's a bad move unless your shooting for some sort of carb depletion or carb cycling diets. What is your current routine? Its hard to make changes when I have no clue what your current routine is... I would also suggest looking into HIIT training for cardio. I put together a training program using HIIT for a friend and he's lost 20lbs this month (which to me is a very manageable level of fat loss). |

Gender: | After you have broken down your diet and training as Talo and Kane suggested take a look at the cutting sticky in the nutrition forum and then if you have any other questions let us know. From what I have seen so far you need to definitely adjust the diet big time and incorporate or modify your cardio. Just my 2 cents so far without your info. |

Gender: | OK, I think i have a good question. I have been working out every day past 2 weeks the fat is coming off nice, not taking anything but a pct now, since i realized that my over training has stopped muscle and strenth growth. But in trying to lose fat, is there over training???? If i work out 2 time a day at 1.5 hours each time (on avg) is that too much. The first work out is a home routine (just bands and isometrics) called p90x has a mix of different stuff you do. Monday-shoulders back tuesday- pyrometrics wends-shoulders arms thurs- yoga fri- legs back sat- kempo Sunday- a stretch routine All of these are about an 1hour 30min and really seem to be alot of cardio, considering there is 1-2 30sec breaks. Also at the gym I do my regular work out with weights. 3 day cycle day1- chest back day2- legs day3- arms I have been running on the elliptical at the gym anywhere between 20-40 mins coming out to be between 300-600 cals Now is that to much if my goal is to lose weight . And if it is why? |
