Hey guys,
There's this question that is popping in my head...
So i joined MyFitnessPal community when i was like 86 - 87 kg (i'm not sure as i didn't weight my self at that time) and my goal is to go down to 80 kg. As of today i'm 83.3 kg.
My goal is to lose weight and gain muscle through Calisthenics training and a 4 km run 3 times a week.
What do i do when i reach my goal of 80 kg? I'm not a big fan of the bulking - cutting strategy. I like to stay lean while gaining muscle.
Sorry if my English is not the best, i'm European.
If you didn't understand well i can try to explain better.
Thanks guys,
Luís Castro Soares

You run 4k so far, why not run another 1k more? Join a local 5k run for fun and make use of the physical conditioning you acquired.
If you want to have some sort of structure to maintain your gains, I urge you to explore the idea as it's just a logical profession from where you are today, 5k running compels you to be as lean and physically fit as possible to run efficiently.0 -

My main goal is to be healthy, but obviously i would like to gain some muscle which means gaining weight, but that's ok as long as it's muscle and not fat. Is 5 km run 3 times a week a good number? I know cardio is a must in order to be fit but i don't want to kill my muscle gains.

Eat at maintenance while lifting heavy. Idea is that muscle increases while fat decreases. It's a slow process, but it's a viable option to bulking and cutting.1 -
