90 days from honeymoon...help me break my plateau

Roofus

Hello friends -
First off, this is not some desperation post. Things are good and that's a good thing! But I feel like I've plateaued and with time constraints, I'm just looking for a bit of advice.

So here's the situation:
*Diet/macros have been on point. Rarely cheat, rarely drink. Feeling good here. I adjust macros as I progress.
*Over the last 1.5yrs lifting 3 days a week, and walking focused cardio of 5+ mpd/6 days/week.
*That has led to weight loss from 198lbs to 176lbs. (5'9.5" height).
*Arm, chest, and leg tone is very good and I'm happy with the results.
*Problem areas: Main fat deposits remain on love handles and a smaller lower belly fat creating a (not horrible looking) but noticeable small spare tire look.

Now what I need help with - about a month ago work blew up. I'm putting in 13hrs/day 5 days a week often with post-work responsibilities. This has wrecked my ability to hit the gym regularly - but I have focused the little free time I have on maintaining daily cardio and eating properly. So again still feeling good, but my schedule will likely stay the same for 3 more weeks.

My thinking is that at 90 days out from my honeymoon, I just want to have the best beach bod I can for my bride, and after the honeymoon I can get back to a full body routine.

So my question - already assuming I maintain cardio/diet - I've found a way to rework my schedule to get a 30-40min lift in about 3 days a week. That may realistically limit me to 3-4 lifts per session. What would be some recommended lifts to focus on with that limitation to get the best results over the next 90 days.

I just can't do everything right now, but I don't want to not do anything. So I just need to maximize my available time the best I can. Thanks for any feedback!

welcome back havent seen you in a while, good to see you posting, wish you would post a LOG of your training as you go

I would do big lifts and lots of cardio, big volume lifts
like squats but lots of reps in the time you have
bench press lots of reps in the time
deadlifts high reps
arms shoulders stacked high reps

maybe consider some cycling maybe tren or anavar winstrol
 
Not sure he wants a cycle but yea anavar and winstrol 50mgs each with am cardio as much as you can and fasting on and off

Log this honeymoon for us training diet etc

I really appreciate the feedback guys! Not sure where to post a log. I keep a log in a notebook I take to the gym, so can do there. Should I just post in here, or is there a special place people post logs.

Anyway, wasn't able to make it to the gym last week, but did 5-7 miles every day keeping heart rate at 120bpm.

This week so far 5+ miles M/T/W. I do 90% of my cardio in the AM before work. Closed down the gym tonight (had about 70min till close but may only have 50-60min on most nights).

15min cardio warmup Speed: 4 Incline: 3.5
Incline bench 3x15x95
Deadlift 3x15x95
Leg press 3x15x225
Bar curl 3x15x50
Ryan Humiston incline crunch set
Dumbbell side bend 3x5x35

That was walking in the door until being booted out, so that's about all I can fit in for a set. I kept breaks between 1-2 minutes between sets, and about 3-5min break between lifts. I should have mentioned I cannot do squat rack. I tore my gluteus minimus on squat training for a comp ten years ago (I'm now 41) and had minor outpatient surgery to repair and it took 5 years of PT to get back to normal. That's one reason I blew up to 215 and it's taken years to get back to a good weight. I won't risk it again. I can do bulgarian split squats without pain for whatever reason, so I'm open to those.

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out these splits. Wondering if I should do something like Workout 1(Day1), Workout 2(Day 2), Workout 1(Day 3), Workout 2(Day 4).

Here's pics - Can y'all please give me recommended lifts/areas of focus with the assumption I can probably get in 3 big lifts and 1-2 quick things like crunches?

you need to cut down 100%

FASTING my man. that is the #1 way to cut down and its the healthy way

that is all i would worry about until your wedding. CUT DOWN

Then let's adjust my macros. Maintenance is about 2400-2600 depending on the calculator I use. I've been doing a pretty extreme calorie deficit at 1600cals. 1.5xbody weight for protein (264g), which puts me at about 1050 of those cals from protein. And macros play out to be around 60P/35F/15C.

Do you suggest I make changes?
 
Okay, someone check my math here:
TDEE calculators put my daily caloric maintenance intake at 2,500cals/day.
With 79 days to go, that's 197,000cals for maintenance.
I'm targeting 160lbs, which would put me a 16lbs drop as of this morning. At 3,500cals/lb, I need a deficit of 56,000cals over that stretch, putting me at 141,000cals, or 1,784cals/day. I could get this to 1,600cals/day pretty easy and it would be a good target knowing I had a bit of wiggle room if something didn't fit perfectly.

If this is the way to go, what's the recommended macros for this cut? 60/20/20? 60/30/10? (P/F/C)

this is your problem

you are counting calories and tracking macros

this isn't the way you lose weight man. thats why 99% of people who do weight watchers fail miserably. it doesn't work. i can list you off 100 reasons why it doesn't work but there are millions of people in your shoes too

yes calories in/out is true but the problem with that is when you eat in a caloric defict you also burn less calories too. so simply eating in a deficit and counting macros is a woefully poor way to achieve success with fat loss as you obviously know from your own experience.

this is why you see guys like The ROCK who eat 6000 calories a day which according to the calculators would be about 3000 calories too much, yet he magically stays lean year round

but fat obese people eat very little and eat in deficits but stay fat and cannot lose weight

i can def work with you 1 on 1 off the forum if you want to stop spinning your wheels and help you cut fat now and permanently. and the first thing i will tell you straight up is delete those stupid app calculators that i see people using. they do more harm than good. "oh i am 500 calories in a deficit, let me eat a slice of pizza since I will finish the day in a deficit" that is what the reality is. drop me a PM if you are serious and want to do this the way that actually works. my fees are very fair and i've helped thousands over the years
 
*Progress Report 8/10*

Locked in meal plan right around 3 weeks ago based on the following:

79(days) @ 2500cals/day maintenance = 197,500cals
3500cals/lb @ 17lbs desired fat loss = 59,500cals
197,500 - 59,500 = 138,000/79 = 1746cals/day

177lbs (starting weight) * 1.5g(P)/lb = 265.5g protein/day.

Based on this, macro breakdown is roughly:
60%(P)/20%(F)/20%(C)
265g(P)
40g(F)
89g(C)

Diet on 18/6 fast (this hits macros almost perfectly):

2pm
2 boiled eggs
6oz hamburger patty (93/7F)
ON whey shake (2 scoops)

6pm
4oz chicken breast grilled/broiled
ON whey shake (2 scoops)

8pm
8oz strip steak
1 cup broc
1 cup califlower

Before bed
ON whey shake (2 scoops)

I'm closing out week 3 on this diet with only one cheat meal in that span (had a large pizza and two protein shakes last Saturday). Other than this I have not cheated once. No sugar, no sauces, no alcohol. Laser focused.

Weight is down to 172.5lbs as of this morning. So good progress, but hoping to hit 171lbs by end of week so I'm staying on a roughly 2lb loss/week track, but nothing to stress about if it's not exact.

Routine as of now:
Every morning (fasted) 3 x 100 on jump rope
Every day (unfasted evenings) 5 miles cardio

Day 1/3
Incline bench 3x15x95
Deadlift 3x15x95
Leg press 3x15x225
Bar curl 3x15x50
Incline crunch set

Day 2/4
Row 3x15x95
Lunges 3x20x15
Triceps 3x15x50
Shoulder press 3x15x15 (Don't laugh. Bad shoulder from wrestling. 15lbs hurts like fk. Probs need surgery.)
Hanging leg lift

HIIT has been sprinkled in on lifting days (I recognize I need to do more here).

I feel like I'm on a good track, but certainly looking for feedback if anyone wants to recommend changes. Working hard and trying to stay encouraged/focused!
 
If your shoulder is aggravating you, stop doing any lifts above the shoulder. Move to a flat or decline bench from the incline. change overhead press to front delt raises, side lateral delt raises, and rear delt flys as these three will pound all three heads of the delts where as overhead mainly targets the front head.

Also need to start a PT routine for that shoulder and document it. Take the documentation with you to the doctor and that will let you bypass some steps. Another option might be getting a Cortisone shot if you only have a small tear or some minor impingement going on.

Appreciate the recs on the alternate movements bud. I actually have an MRI scheduled for later this month. I've done cortisone about once every 3 years for about a decade. Ortho recommended MRI this time and said it may be time to get it scopped. We'll see...

i like this overall but im thinking your diet doesnt have enough healthy fats
how much fats you adding? i dont see nuts in there no flaxseed no fish oil etc

Absolutely! I have a kitchen full of nuts. It's my go to snack. If I get a bad craving during off fast window I grab a handful or two to tide me over. I take a daily and omega-3's every day. Some extra magnesium, VitC, horny goatweed, and black cherry for inflammation reduction. I additionally take a daily serving, split between first and last prot. shake of L-Citrulline, L-Lysine, and L-Proline. I have flaxseed meal - not sure how to incorporate that - I was using it in homemade oatmeal/protein brownies.
 
Besides hard training, consider adding NATURAL sarms replacements:
OSTAZOL-booster of TEST and strength
NUTROZOL-booster of HGH, sleep/recovery aid
CARDAZOL-booster of cardio, stamina, energy, FAT loss

A lot of my clients have dealt with shoulder injuries, pretty common
 
I'll grab some cardazol. Website says buy 2 get 1 free, but when you put two in the basket it doesn't indicate a third bottle, so hopefully, it's just put in the box. Happy to use a referral link - I'll just use whoever can get me one first so as not to play favorites.

*Progress Report 8/17*

Had a bit of a rough patch since last report this last week. The last day I was able to lift was Friday. Did not get to lift Sun-Wed. I had to move my fiance to storage over the weekend and we had to paint our place Sun and Mon night. Tues/Wed(today) work got the better of me. I did get in cardio tonight when I finally got home -- 4 miles with a mix of HIIT. And at least I was active with the moving and painting so I wasn't just sitting around. I'll be able to lift every day the rest of the week, so I can still get four lifting days in.

Eating is still on point. Same diet as listed before. One cheat meal Sat night. But I need feedback here. This knocked me off track bigly. As I said, no cheating at all since my last post with the exception of my cheat meal. I fasted all day Saturday while moving and then we went to a restaurant for dinner. For my cheat meal I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries and 3 beers. Based on the listed calories this should have put me no more than around maintenance calories, roughly 2500. My weight spiked from 172.5 to 177 the next day and did not settle back until this morning at 173.5. So the results of the last 7 days end up being I've gained a pound.

Clearly something I can overcome, but I'm looking for some insight as to why I gained here and didn't seem to spike metabolism. If I made a mistake, I don't want to make it again. Also, aside from my bachelor party in two weeks, I'm just going to completely cut alcohol. I had only drank once or twice in the last several months and thought I could get away with it, but it's just empty calories and not worth it. I can drink on my honeymoon.

Cardazol will be here tomorrow, so I will begin incorporating that with morning fasted cardio. But really need some feedback on the cheat meal - if I need to be more picky in my cheat selections, or space it out further than every 7 days, or cut it completely.

Thanks
 
Weighed in at 172.6 this morning. So essentially back where I started a week ago. Just got an update that cardazol will arrive friday night.

you can make a burger at home on your own which is perfectly fine. i do it all the time. get grassfed beef, get unbun bread or use a lettuce to wrap the burger. and you can add raw cheese if you want

what kills you with restaurant food is obviously the refined flour in the bread + the refined oils

for what? it isn't better then a homemade burger and the dude prepping it has a neck tat and hasn't washed his hands in a month.

i haven't been to a restaurant in over 3 years and don't plan on going

cheat meals are for the WEAK. i don't believe in them. you can cook delicious AND healthy food yourself

i would not worry about the cheat meal, it happens

when you are low carb and you eat a cheat meal during dieting/cutting you can gain up to 10lbs with glycogen storage refill and water retention
1 gram of carbs pulls in 2 grams of water so take note of that

cut the alcohol, add the cardazol to aM cardio and keep going strong

dont cheat, keep control you can do it, you're close

and keep posting updates, I see admins made you platinum
 
Consider intermittent fasting, cut carbs out, just meat and veggies, plus CARDAZOL-NATURAL booster of cardio, stamina, energy, FAT loss

Just left the gym and want to get thoughts down while I remember since yesterday and today were my first days on Cardazol.

First off, everything Is good since my last update. Feeling much stronger these past two weeks. Eating is still on point. I went trail riding on Saturday out in the bush so no access to food outside the protein shakes I took. Had a toned down cheat meal of three Chick-fil-A grilled club sandwiches with no bun or sauce. So basically just three chicken breasts with the cheese and bacon slice in a medium fry. This caused no weight gain like I got from the burger cheat meal.

I logged in at 173 even this morning. So stuck at the same weight for about a week. I’m hoping the Cardazol will help with the new plateau.

So the Cardazol arrived a little later than expected, so yesterday was my first use. I’m very sensitive to work out stimulants, So I wanted to start out slow. Yesterday I took one cap about one hour before training and one cap about 20 minutes before training. It was a good workout and noticed my skin was warm at times but didn’t notice anything really.

Today I upped the dose to two caps 30 minutes before training and one cap at the start of training and the results were fantastic. My 45 minute cardio session to start training was a breeze and I incorporated 30 second sprints throughout the session and never lost my breath or felt like I was entering fatigue. The whole cardio session was like I was in a state of euphoria. Very odd but good. Fatigue was also reduced during my lifts and I was able to increase weight while maintaining 15 reps per set with no problem.

Tomorrow I plan to switch over to decaf coffee and pop two caps a.m. and do three caps before training (two cap one hour before and one cap at start). If no issues then I will move to the full 6 cap/day dose.

8lbs to goal weight (anything more is cherry on top). 6 weeks to go. If I need to make changes to diet or routine, now’s the time.

I went trail riding on Saturday out in the bush so no access to food outside the protein shakes I took. Had a toned down cheat meal of three Chick-fil-A grilled club sandwiches with no bun or sauce. So basically just three chicken breasts with the cheese and bacon slice in a medium fry. This caused no weight gain like I got from the burger cheat meal.

I logged in at 173 even this morning. So stuck at the same weight for about a week. I’m hoping the Cardazol will help with the new plateau.

So the Cardazol arrived a little later than expected, so yesterday was my first use. I’m very sensitive to work out stimulants, So I wanted to start out slow. Yesterday I took one cap about one hour before training and one cap about 20 minutes before training. It was a good workout and noticed my skin was warm at times but didn’t notice anything really.

Today I upped the dose to two caps 30 minutes before training and one cap at the start of training and the results were fantastic. My 45 minute cardio session to start training was a breeze and I incorporated 30 second sprints throughout the session and never lost my breath or felt like I was entering fatigue. The whole cardio session was like I was in a state of euphoria. Very odd but good. Fatigue was also reduced during my lifts and I was able to increase weight while maintaining 15 reps per set with no problem.

Tomorrow I plan to switch over to decaf coffee and pop two caps a.m. and do three caps before training (two cap one hour before and one cap at start). If no issues then I will move to the full 6 cap/day dose.

8lbs to goal weight (anything more is cherry on top). 6 weeks to go. If I need to make changes to diet or routine, now’s the time.

good dosing on the cardazol, thats what I use

i use 2 caps 30min before training and 1 cap before I train and 1 cap 30min into the training session its awesome

and 2 caps in AM of cardazol have been 100x better and smoother then any coffee I've had, try it

Gents - I have a 9hr drive on Thursday and then back on Monday. Once I arrive I’ll have access to a kitchen and I can take protein shakes with me and get nuts for car snacking. But need suggestions on other meals. Do y’all pack lunches for long road drives and eat cold or do you hit like a chipotle for a protein/legume bowl or something?

I'll be at my folks that night. If I time it right I can hit dinner at home. I can do shakes in the car and I guess throw boiled eggs and a burger patty in the cooler. I've done the heat up the food in the gas station microwave before but it's such a miserable experience.
 
Consider intermittent fasting, cardio and check CARDAZOL-NATURAL booster of cardio, stamina, energy, FAT loss
 
***Progress Report 9/12***

Just a quick and dirty update here... Packed lunches for the drive down and back and escaped my "bachelor party" (football tailgate) largely unscathed.

Bit of a bad week for lifting/cardio last week due to work and travel. Did get a few cardio sessions in, but only one lifting day. Back on a normal schedule starting today.

Clocked in at 167.9lbs this morning. I'll try to snap a pic this week, but I don't see much change from 170 (nor would I expect it).

Let's say "summer break" has ended at work, and things are about to pick up big time the next 3 weeks (4 weeks until wedding). I might have to adjust routine somewhat and will lean more toward cardio if I have to choose between cardio and lifting on any given day. Made some slight adjustments to diet plan over the weekend for the last 4 weeks. Looking to drop additional fat, so I will switch up lunch meal from burger patty to chicken breast, and may drop the boiled eggs. This should reduce fats to about 48g/day rather than 60g/day with only a slight calorie drop.

Home stretch boys! If you have any final advice for these last few weeks, please let me know. Thanks!
