Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forums although I have been lurking for a couple of months.
A bit of background on me, I'm 23 y/o, 6' 3" and started lifting and watching my diet around the first of the year when I weighed 207 lbs. I am currently sitting at 196 lbs and have gone from a 500 cal deficit to Intermittent fasting as of yesterday. I have a fair amount of muscle built up in my legs and arms, but excess fat is certainly covering a good portion of it. I had a DEXA scan the other day and am currently sitting at 21.5% body fat which was more than I had hoped, but I do carry a fair amount of excess fat on my gut, love handles, and thighs.
My current workout is as follows;
Day 1 Chest/Triceps/shoulders
Day 2 Back/Biceps
Day 3 Cardio
Day 4 Legs
Day 5 Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
Day 6 Cardio
Day 7 Legs
Day 8 Back/Biceps
and the pattern repeats in a 2 on, 1 off manner.
Additionally I eat fairly clean around 1,950 calories/day which represents a 500 calorie deficit, mostly chicken/fish/Lean Pork, brown rice, veggies, protein bars, protein shakes, BCAAs, Fish Oil, Multi vitamin, Green Tea & Hydroxycut.
My intermittent fasting to date has been a 16/8 split starting at 8:00 pm and ending at noon the following day. I also typically workout around 5am as I work a 9-5 and enjoy having my afternoons free when the gym is busiest.
I guess the main point here is that I am trying to get to around 12% bodyfat by May. Does anyone have any suggestions or see any errors in my plan?
I appreciate all of the help and look forward to your feedback!
