Age: 29 in one month
Sex: Male
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 169
BodyFat: I'd say around 30%, too much to get good measurements with calipers.

So I started this last week as I'm fixing to turn 29 next month and I've always said I wanted to have abs while still in my 20s which means I'm running out of time.

Here's what I've been doing and I'm just looking for some general advice if I'm doing too much or if I could possibly be doing more.

Calorie intake

1500 - 50% protein - 30% fat - 20% carbs

Workout: Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Phraks greyskull LP (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/phraks-gslp)

It's a full body strength training routine. Squats, Bench, Overhead Press, Barbell Rows, Deadlifts, etc...

Workout: Tuesday, Thursday

21 Minutes HIIT treadmill (walk 3mph, run 8mph)

5:00 walk 5:00
0:30 run 5:30
1:30 walk 7:00
0:30 run 7:30
1:30 walk 9:00
0:30 run 9:30
1:30 walk 11:00
0:30 run 11:30
1:30 walk 13:00
0:30 run 13:30
1:30 walk 15:00
0:30 run 15:30
5:30 walk 21:00

During running, heart rate monitor watch puts my HR over 90% of maximum. Definitly feel like dieing after this.

Saturday, Sunday rest

I'm also looking for ideas on what the best way to measure progress would be. I'm hoping with the strength training I manage to gain some muscle if possible, so don't think scale weight will be a good indicator of progress. Hard to measure bodyfat right now as I'm too fat. Maybe waist measurements or something?

Thanks in advanced for any advice/support!
