Ok, so here's the deal. Last August, I decided I was going to get into shape. I was 6'2, 203 lbs, with ~21% bodyfat. I was fat, out of shape, and just not happy with my look.
Thanks to a strict diet and weight routine, I have now dropped to 170 lbs with ~14% BF. I'm happy at 170, but the bodyfat really aggravates me. I'd like to get down to around 8-10% for the summer, and I'm currently at week 2 of my cutting plan. So yeah, here's the goals, let me know if you have any comments:
Goal: 8-10% BF at or around 160-165 lbs
Plan:
- Monday: Shoulders / Abs
- Tuesday: 25-30 minutes cardio
- Wednesday: Chest / Triceps
- Thursday: 25-30 minutes cardio
- Friday: Back / Bi's
- Saturday: 25-30 minutes cardio
- Sunday: Legs / Off
Diet:
Calories: between 1800-2200 calories / day*
Split: 40/40/20 Protein / Carbs / Fats
Consisting of: whole wheat grains, veggies, lean meats, nuts, water, low-fat dairy
* I know this may seem like too much calories / day, considering my body weight, but I am very active. I attend school from 7 am - 2 pm, workout 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, then I have hockey practice from 5 pm - 6 pm, and normally 3x a week I'll have baseball training from 7-8 pm.
So, any thoughts? I've stayed committed so far for the last 2 weeks, and seen my bodyfat go from ~15 to 13.7 currently.
Almost forgot: I have perhaps the oddest body imaginable. I don't really know what I am, because I gain and lose easily like a mesomorph, but my body type is naturally skinny (as evidenced by how skinny I was when I was younger) like an ectomorph.
As of right now, all of my fat seems to be in my abdomen, and that's the last place I want in. I have skinny yet muscular arms, broad shoulders, good back development, and very strong legs, yet my chest and ab development is, to be honest, brutal.
