Body Goals

Whatsup Guys? So I am a 5'10 Male, and im 20 years old. I have always been semi-athletic (played sports my whole life) but I've also always been a big guy. At my biggest point I was 250 lbs. I realized I needed to make a change and this year (sophomore year of college) I dropped 70-75 lbs. so Now i weigh around 175-177 but im not completely happy with my body. I am a bigger guy in general (broad shoulders and just not a small kid) so im not really trying to drop much more weight but I am trying to lose body fat percentage and put on muscle. I've been eating a lot of protein and trying to stay away from carbs and sugars. Are they any programs/plans you guys know about that would help me acheive me goals? Trying to reach 10% or so body fat %.

 

You will find it almost impossible to drop you bf% and gain muscle at the same time, you need to be weight lifting as hard as you can for a good few months to build a strong base of muscle. Once you have established the muscle it's time to cut out carb and create a kcal defecit of around 500-800 kcal per day, over the space of a few months your bf% should steadily decrease as you increase cardio and reduce callorie intake.

 

yeah That's what I generally hear. However Im just going to continue to try to do lose BF % and continue to put on muscle by just eating protein, but a significant amount of it.

 

Quick update: I am starting a new plan that consists of calorie cutting/cardio (using HIIT) and then 3 days a week, heavy lifting in the afternoon and eating a lot of healthy protein/carbs after that. And then the next day immediately going back to calorie cutting and HIIT. IT seems like it might work.

 

Make sure you know how many cals you need to be taking in and your macros.
