[jpt]

i am currently 10% bf. i have no specific timetable b/c i want to get there and maintain as much muscle mass as possible. i'm 5'9 175 lbs 27 years old. just switched my workouts a few weeks ago as i was getting bored....it looks like this now

monday chest/triceps
tuesday cardio 20 min HIIT
wednesday shoulder/legs
thursday cardio 20 min HIIT
friday back/bis
saturday 20 min HIIT first thing on an empty stomach
sunday 20 min HIIT first thing on an empty stomach


diet looks like this (just revised it a little)

6:00 am 2 cup egg whites (used to be just a yogurt)
1 rice cake
300cals 2 fat 18 carbs 45 pro

9:00 am 2 scoops of whey
240cal 2 fat 6 carbs 46 pro

11:00 am 1/4 cup of walnuts
160cal 13 fat 6 carbs 15 pro

12:30pm 6oz of chicken breast or tuna with brown rice
537cal 10 fat 45 carbs 55 pro

3:00 pm 1/4 cup of walnuts

aprox 2500cals 50 fat 185 carbs 340pro


i know i still have some revising to do.....going to try and take less cals....get to like 2000. going to start eliminating carbs and get them to like 75-100 and up my fat a little to 75-100.

how does this look to everyone? am i on the right track?

too much cardio... and no days off? combine your weight training and HIIT on the same days.

Days off are days without training, not days with cardio.

I would suggest that 340gms of protein is probably too high, as well: do 1.4-1.6xLBM

At 175lbs @ 10% that would put you at about 235-250gm of protein MAX.

yeah...i agree with you....i'll prob take off on sunday. everyone needs a break from the action...i'm just very eager to get to my goal! and i never thought i was taking in that much protein.....but those are the numbers on fitday.com.....i think they are off a little b/c the chicken breast i eat (6oz) is about 40g of protein not 50g...well that's what is says on the package anyway.
