To loose weight, you need to look at your diet, and have a Caloric Deficit, and when you have this, it is hard to Gain Strength. You seem to know what to eat, from seeing other posts, So just cut back your current Diet by say 500 cals, and Hit some cardio 3-4x's a week, to help with the caloric Deficit. Get yourself to the Bf% you desire, and then look at either going back on a Bulking phase, or just maintane your BF%. But I would say Best Idea is to Focus on one thing at a time, and not try and do both.

You really don't have to change your workout much at all, make sure you stay with heavy weight. We can adjust it if you like, but diet is the key here. We need to have your maintenance calories first, what you are eating right now that will keep you exactly the same with your daily activities. Then we can start to work. So, post your diet(total calories also if you know them would help), and we will start there. A haphazard approach will normally result in a decent muscle loss right off the bat. ============ Quoting from goldengloves: I was wanting to gain mass and put on weight....Well I put on some and am around my goal (my goal was 165)....Now I still have some excess fat I want to get rid of this and would like to start up a new routine to get me lean and at the same time add a little bit of muscle....Anyone wish to guide me in the right direction? ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
