Hi all. I'll get right into it. I am 5'8, 266 lbs, about 24% bf. Been lifting for many years and focused strictly on powerlifting, without much care about nutrition. Just looking for opinions on my fat loss cycle I will be doing doing for the next few months; I started a couple of weeks ago and although it is tough I feel good.
-full body circuit training 3x/weekly; descending reps per cycle of 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 and each cycle consists of squats, bent row, dumbell bench press, dumbell overhead press, hammer curls and lying dumbell triceps extensions.
-"distance" run 2x/weekly. I put the quotes around distance because well, I can't really go that far. I do a moderate distance run (last week was 2.5 km) and long distance run (last one was 5.75 km)
-hill run 2x/weekly. I run ( for the first few rounds anyway) up and down a roughly 40 degree incline hill 15 times and try to beat the previous time I did it in.
-nutrition: 2350 cal./daily. Macros. are 50% protien, 35% fat and 15% carbs. I try to make 80% (although I fall short some days) of the carb. intake from fruits and veggies and the rest from steel cut oats and sweet potatoes.
That's it in a nutshell. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions or suggestions on things. Like I said I am kind of new to the goal of fat loss and gpp. Thank you all very much.

My opinion :
Too much for the start, what will you add when you will got difficulty to loose fat ?
Keep some heavy lifting and add progressively "cardio/fat loss" training over month
For the nutrition, im pretty sure you don't need to follow a strict diet to loose the first 15-20 pounds, just follow paleo diet principe and after, when that will stall, start to count macro/cal

Thanks so much for the info. So basically, don't worry to much about the macros. right now, and just keep protien high (maybe 1 gram per pound), good low glycemic carbs, and some healthy fats? Also, I was wondering, in terms of the workouts, how would I structure it to to most efficiant? I thought circuit training would be the best plan of action as it would help my metabolism while maintaining lbm. However, should I lift heavy and do circuit work or keep it heavy and add in some cardio. and forget the circuits?
So sorry for all the questions just want to be sure I am doing things properly.
Thank you all very much.
