Well an update: As of today it's been 30 days. I'm down 17lbs, 2" on my waist, and made tape for work. I feel pretty good considering... Strength is good and I feel like I kept quite a bit of muscle. I'd like to lose another 10lbs and i am transitioning into a more normal plan. My back is doing much better (L5 cracked) and…

So far it's working. Down 8lbs and got to tighten my belt a notch in 9 days. Over the hump of hangry and exhausted. Yesterday and todays workouts were both good. Today I was able to perform a couple sets of doubles at 90% on banded deadlifts (heavy black band) after working up to it with pyramid sets. I imagine recovery is…

Good advice above. I squat heavy and often and use compression sleeves and wraps depending on the weight.

Roughly 2000 to meet weightloss goal of 25lbs at 2lbs a week (max I could enter) Starting weight 250lbs. I check in March 8th. Need most fat loss with as much muscle retention as possible in that amount of time. I realize I'm jumping off a cliff here. I'm chasing tape numbers (waist/neck ratio) not true BMI.

Unsure what your training looks like but when guys are trying to pack it on, I recommend squatting and deadlifting twice a week. And with large muscle group lifts, (presses, squat, deads) spend a lot of time in the 85-90% range working on increasing volume. But different strokes for different folks... I'm also 6'1" 35…

Thanks for the input. Yes, male. I can up my calories no problem with that lol! I'm on a 4/2 program 4 fueling and 2 lean and green meals. I was concerned I wasnt getting enough calories. I'm doing light workouts and have been gassing out pretty quick. I do have a food scale and am logging diet on myfitnesspal.
