asked: I am a 5’11” male, and weigh at around 190lbs. I have around 20% boy fat, and would like to lose as much of it as possible, while maintaining my muscle and perhaps even gaining some.
I am a beginner, I mean I have been working out for the past 3-4 years, but have been on and off every 2-3 months, so never really had any real gains from it, so consider myself a beginner. My diet was also primarily comprised of junk food, and over the past 6-7 month, I have tried to curb the junk food I take in.
Given the goals I have in mind, and the timeline is not like a month or two, maybe even 4 months is good as long as I see continued benefits.
My current diet profile looks like this: Daily calories – 1800-2000 (counted for variations, and 1 day over feeding will be around 2500); Proteins – 125 grams per day; Carbs – 320 grams/day ; Fat – 30 grams/day.
Supplements: Whey Protein Isolates – 24grams Protein/scoop, 3 times daily with 1% reduced fat chocolate milk; 4 grams Creatine, 4 grams L-Glutamine, around 2 grams BCAA, 1 tablet Multivitamin.
Additional Supplements: Mil fat burners – Prolab Cuts2 – 2-3 times daily (4 tablets), Prolab Metabolic Thyrolean – 2-3 times daily (2 capsules); Night time thermogenesis (by Lean) – 3 capsules daily before bed. I do apply the Ab Solution Plus topical fat loss cream 1-2 times daily.
Workout Schedule:
Mon – Back/Biceps (3 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Tues – Chest/Triceps (3-4 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Wed – Shoulders/Legs (3-4 exercises per part, 5 sets x 7 reps), no cardio, 10 min Abs
Thur – 25 min HIIT, next level Abs exercises (almost double the intensity and diff exercises), 15 min HIIT
Friday – Full Body (compound exercises), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs
Sat- Full Body (compound exercises, different exercises than on Friday), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs.
Sun – Off
I don’t lift too much weight (well, I cant over a certain weight for a given exercises), and thought of adding creatine just so I can lift more, so that even when I quit taking creatine, I would still have moved up from what I am doing right now.
Please analyze my schedule and give your comments on it. Does it coincide with my goal? I plan to continue doing the same for about 8-10 weeks, then maybe change some diet/supplements/workout. I don’t want to bulk up (not literally), I wish to gain some muscle, more definition, and lose fat to get to about 13%-15% (from 20%-22% right now).
Would really appreciate any help from all you guys there, who are experienced in bodybuilding. Thanks for taking time to read through the long post.
