Just what the title says. Not too long ago I was 5'8 and 270. Now i'm 5'8 and about 250, depending. My question is, is it reasonable to believe I can work my way down to 215 or so and still maintain my strength? I'm currently lifting 350 on bench for a one rep max and 445 on deadlift for a 3 rep max. Not sure what my squat is. I try to intake 150 grams protein/day just in shakes. My main problem is the shift i work, i'm a cop and work 11p-7a and there is NOTHING open. I'm starting to take food that I have pre-cooked. I eat mostly whole grains for carbs, and don't have any carbs on my last meal(45g shake). My question is, can I assume I can lose a pound a week w/out any hardcore dieting? I've also thought about doing 2-3 days on low carb, one day off. My problem w/ low carb is my freaking workouts-they are TOUGH. I'm doing a crossfit type workout and it's insane. So, am I fighitng a losing battle trying to lose weight slowly and gain muscle? Should I stick to losing fat for a while and then go back to gaining muscle? I was just thinking it is possible if I do it at a slow pace. Maybe I am wrong. Help??? Also, if this is in the wrong forum, please send it where it needs to go. I will post it a couple of other places.
PS
I do the workouts 4 days a week and one day of heavy bench press. My workouts may look something like
12-10-8-6-4- for deadlift and then
5 rounds of 5 deadifts 70 yard sprint.
sprints at the end of the workout.
What do you guys think?
