Raynor! Been a while!
I want to be around 7-8 bf for the summer . I don't think I've EVER been below 10
I'm willing to do what ever it takes.
The thing is I don't want to be some puny little kid and lose a lot of size so I'm havin trouble debating what workout routine to follow.
I've always trained strenght and don't have much siZe
Last 4 weeks my training has been in the 8-12 rep range focusing on hypertrophy....
My diet has been good.
Currently. Basically same every day..
Meal 1: 2 scoops whey/ fruit
Meal 2: 4eggs/2egg whites. 1sl Swiss cheese, 2-3 red potatoes ,some fruit
Meal 3 PWO. 2 scoops whey/ fruit
Meal 4: 1 cup WW pasta, 1.5 chicken breasts, 2 cups steamed veggies
Meal 5: 1 cup WW pasta, 1.5 chicken breasts, 2 cups steamed veggies
Meal 6: 1-2 scoops casein, little bit of Evoo or almonds
Sum it up:
Currently 11-13 %bf , 165ish lbs
Goal- 7-8%
Want. To be ripped but don't want to be so tiny,
1.How should I approach the Training
2.When/ how much cardio needs to be done(cause I do NONe lol)
3.Suggestions on diet
Hope all is well.
Thanks:)
Hey there.
1. You need to be doing a VERY strict cutting routine to drop the fat. Immediately after you reach 7%, you will begin hypertrophy with a maintenance diet on non-workout days, and a 300 cal surplus on workout days. You will maintain the leanness, but start enhancing your volume. Follow this pattern:

2. In regard to cardio, follow the above cutting plan. You need around 30 mins HIIT per day and 60 mins on your non-workout day.
3. Diet is the hardest part. You will need around 1,500 cals a day. However you need to keep your protein up, and to keep volume, carbs need to be present, so low-fat high protein and moderate carb is the way to go. I'd say 40/35/25 is the best method during your cut. That means APPROXIMATELY 150g protein, 130g carbs, and 40g fat. This will be very little food, but it's just enough to sustain you and also get you cut down to where you want to be.
4. Remember to keep the activity level as high as possible.The more activity the faster you will burn fat.
5. CAFFEINE IS YOUR FRIEND!! Don't overdo it, but certainly use it as needed.
6. Drink enough water, less water = more water retention. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and also to stay clean and dry. If you want to get super dry (pre-contest) I will explain that separately....but for now, this will suit your 7% purposes.
