At 40 years old I decided to make a change, roughly 18 months later I am down 100lbs today. 285 -> 185lbs, 6’1”Tall.
Plan:
For the past 18 months I’ve been cycling between cutting and maintenance. I would cut until I noticed fatigue, strength loss, sleep issues and depression creeping in, then switch to maintenance for 4 weeks before returning to the cut.
Cut: 2200 calories, 200g protein, 50g fat, remainder into carbs.
Maintenance: 2700 calories, 200g protein, 50g fat, rest into carbs.
Routine: 6x weight sessions a week with a focus on strength and mind/muscle connection, this was my most important tracking stat.
Supplements:
Zepbound for food noise control
Multivitamin
Legion pre / post workout w/ creatine
Fish oil
Next: the cut continues until I can finish up my lower abs and love handles or my strength starts going down (holding strong). Then comes the fun lean gains stage!
