Weightlifting to Bodyweight training fat loss progress

Hi

For the past 2 or so years I started to hit the gym every 3-5 days varying up my routine to keep things diferent. I gained a decent amount of muscle especially around the chest but never saw any real difference due to the fat covering it all up. I also realised that although I was hitting records such as squatting 150kg, I never found any practical uses for the strength along with never finding a good way to keep track of my food.

Starting from this year I decided to make two major changes.

First start a years worth of pure bodyweight training. I have been inspired by the likes of barstarzz and am currently following convict conditioning. My aim by the end of this year is to do a single handstand push up rep without the wall. As of today the 16th of May I can now do a full hand stand for 30 seconds. 2 Months ago I struggled with a head handstand.

Second is keeping a much better track of what I eat. My soft spot was mixing oatmeal with chocolate whey power (no longer taking). I would fill an entire bowl (150g worth) at 8pm at night not thinking about how calorie dense it was even though I kept good track of what else I ate throughout the day.

So as of today I am now at 137lbs getting very close to under 10% body fat and I believe the pictures show that only a small fat loss can make a difference. I plan to get the last pair of abs showing and then increase my caloric intake by 800 to get me on a 300 calorie surplus.

Right now I am consuming 1800 - 1900 calories per day based upon a sedentary lifestyle (office job) and then including my workouts (cycle to work every day and then every other day body weight training)

Before at 152 (about 4 months ago)



Now at 137lb (might get rid of the chest hair)
