    Nice progress. I would remove steady state cardio from your routine since I found it to be a huge waste of time. HIIT and a good lift routine is the way to go and better progress.

    Hmm. I'll think about that. I don't run too often. Maybe 3 times a week at 5km each run. And run on off days from lifting too to keep my caloric deficit in tact

    But I will consider it. To be honest. I've already wondered about the steady state

    I don't really do much cardio but I'm at a different point than you are whereas you are losing weight and I'm maintaining and soon going to be gaining. But I did just stop cutting recently. Was at about 170 since I gained some weight when I moved and ate like crap. Now I'm back down to 160 but didn't do much cardio during that period, just ate at a deficit, lifted and did some HIIT.

    If I could change my training when I started at 185, I would have followed a lift routine, little to no cardio and HIIT. All the cardio (running) led me to being skinny fat since lifting and HIIT are definitely better at burning fat. Not skinnyfat anymore but it would of been better if I followed a good routine.
