You wanna do less.Training 7bdays a week. 30-40 mins fasted cardio every morning. Split goes Legs/Chest/back/shoulders/arms repeat. No days off as far as routine but I do throw a reload or light day in as needed and if a muscle groups still too sore I shift it around and work something that's not sore that day so it changes. Calories are right at 3800-4000 a day depending on what lift I'm doing that day. Roughly 350g protein, 350g carbs and I keep the fat under 100g. I shoot for fat being all healthy fats and try to keep it at 25% of total calories. I only have Sunday to meal prep for Monday- Friday. I prep 4 meals a day, then we fix dinner at home each night. So Sunday meal prep is a monster. It's working though. So much stronger than I was 3 months ago.
My concern is, the skin on my abs is super thin now, I can see some veins in it, but abs are stnot defined because my skin is so stretched out and loose. I added in abs work and abs are strong and hard now. I can feel then really good. I like it but they are also getting bulky, especially large looking after heavy Squats. Then when trying to pack in all this food my mid section looks even bigger. What can I do to make abs more defined without getting bigger after the fatbis off but the skin is still loose. GH seems to be helping with this quite a bit but I don't know how far that will get me.
it does for sure man. it will really attack those cells within the skin and recycle them. you can get bloods during a long fast and see your cells in your body are dying out as proof it really works. but you gotta hit the fasting 20+hours, that is when autophagy reallly kicks into high gearYea I know fasting helps. I don't know if it's gonna do it with as loose as my skin is.
@TM173 if you dont rest you'll get a lot of cortisol inflammation and long term issues, you should do 1 day with cardio if you want to push 7daysI don't take days off because the gym is what I look forward to each day and I like staying in my routine. That's not to say I don't rest, a light day consist of lower weight on favorite movements and it keeps me in routine and gets me moving and gets my blood flowing.
Nice workUpdate 240lbs. Made big improvements to diet and meal prep and changed it up a bit and hit PRs on almost every movement this week. Loving the hell out of it. Cycle has been tweaked and titrate up. Blood work is all still good so far.
3 days a week for me and my body is thrashed.7 days is really brutal on the body long term just be cautious.
Same man, I train so hard and push so much I cant do over 3 days3 days a week for me and my body is thrashed.
Yep, every single morning. I try to make sure when I wake up , I'm fasted for at least 12 hrs. I do 30- 40 mins of fasted cardio, then I wait 30 mins before pre-workout shake, then go to the gym, I have a banana with a intraworkout shake. Then my largest highest Carb meal post workout.I would be hitting the fasted cardio every morning that will help
it will burn off excess skin
