Hi ladies. I’ve been away from lifting for 7 months. Recently been living away for a few years but back home now so for the past 7 months I’ve been losing some excess weight I gained whilst I was away just doing outdoor activities like running/walking (no gym access)
Back to a proper gym now though and got myself on to an established routine (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger)
I’m 130lbs, pictures attatched (weight loss has plateaued for the past few weeks now) and I guess I could stand to cut a little more but tbh I don’t think there would be much point as I don’t think I have the muscle definition in the first place for it to make any real difference. I think all I will wind up looking like is a thinner version of what I am now. My bf isn’t super low though (again, you can have a look at the pictures) so this is where I’m unsure.
I’ve bulked in the past before and my strength went way up but my nutrition wasn’t great tbh so I gained quite a bit of bf. Right now I just want to focus on getting my strength back to the way it used to be and adding noticeable definition and muscle.
I’m thinking of a slow recomp for the summer then slow bulk during winter. Has anybody had experiences of a recomp where it’s made a noticeable difference to their physique? Worth it?
Currently aiming for around 120-130g protein, 45g fat, rest carbs. Lifting 4 times a week on the program with 2-3 sessions of 20/25 min HIIT cardio through the week.
Calorie wise, 1500-1600. I’ve been maintaining on that for the past few weeks.
Thanks for any advice you can give me. I usually have a pretty good idea of where I want to go but due to my weight not being obviously too low or too high, I’m a bit unsure.
