hi guys, I'm currently sitting about 20% BF I'm 28 about 182cm endo/meso and am looking to drop to about 12% at the same time increase m muscle mass. I was 120 kgs and now I'm about 103. this is my schedule and food intake, could you please offer some any suggestions tips I know it's my own fault for letting it get this way so I'm determined never to put t back on.

Monday chest- bench press, decline barbell, incline dumbbell and flyes Cardio 20 mins treadmill @ 10km/h
Tuesday triceps - French press, rope pull downs, dips and  Cardio same
Thursday biceps - preacher curls, hammer curls and close grip barbell curls
back- seated rows pull downs and bent over row cardio same
Friday shoulders - smith machine press dbbll press front raises side raises and cardio same
Saturday  Legs - assisted squats leg press and leg curls cardio same

meals
breakfast egg whites 4-6 2 toast banana and fat free milk 300ml
morning tea chicken 120gms 1cup brown rice 1 cup vegg
lunch same as morning tea
afternoon tea same as above
after training shake
dinner meat usually lean pork/chicken/kangaroo sausages  sweet potato and a salad of rocket feta
cheese pine nuts and olive oil
before bed protien and fat free milk




hope this is enough info guys I'm currently getting about 500 calf a meal cep for breakfast and obviously the 2 shakes so roughly about 2800-3000 cal a day my TDEE is about 2100 according to ascoobs site I will add though up till about a month ago my diet was only about 2000 cal a day and wasn't as organized as it is now

- focus on lower volume, heavy sets to retain muscle
- target 1-2lb loss average per week. any more will stall results faster.
- get lots of protein in diet (>1g PRO/lb_body/day), moderate amounts of fat(>0.5g FAT/lb_body/day).  makeup for the rest is up to you.

where are your hamstring and glute exercises? wtf are assisted squats?

thanks man, yeh my protien intake it pretty on par with the rules lol

I do stretches for m hamstrings just been experimenting a little
the assisted squats is basically a a squat machine/rack, that's my bad cause I call them assisted, the le press I do is one of those machines where you sit on a 45 degree angel and it targets your quads and glutes

do you thing the cardio is enough or should I be increasing it?

I recommend you do more cardio than 20 minutes.. 35 minutes a day is much better, you'll burn twice the calories by doing 15 more minutes due to the afterburner effect.

Dude your routine sucks MAJOR.

You have a seperate day for triceps and biceps? And where are the glute/hamstring/calf exercises?
This routine is majorly bad sorry to say. Pick one from WOLFS routines.

Well look to losing about 1 pound of fat per week.. really it matters on what goes down the pipe and what you burn during the day.

From personal experience, and I'm far from an expert, I'd try a little more intensive training to jump-start your metabolism. The key in losing body fat is to burn a lot of calories, but at the same time not deprive your body of nutrients. That said, while gaining muscle from lifting will increase your metabolism, I'd try incorporating HIIT and high intensity circuit training with the weights routines (ON SEPARATE DAYS!!). I know that stuff worked for me as I went from 12% body fat to below 5% in a matter of 2-3 months.

Here are some good examples of HICs (High Intensity Circuits) that have worked very well for me:
17 Minutes To Six Pack Abs Workout Routine

Spartacus: Blood and Sand "Official Workout!"

Spartacus 2.0 "Official Workout!"

P.S. I am no fan of Scott Herman, I hate the way he behaves himself, but he did show the workouts in a video... you can find them on Men's Health website, too.

awesome, thanks heaps for the tips and the links

Since i started this topic i have upped the cardio to minimum of 30 mins 5-6 days a week (still lifting 5 days a week) and i'm starting to notice improvements in myself even though it has only been a couple of weeks, its really paying off. i use a tape measure and  i weigh myself weekly, same time same day and they its staying the same, but me weighing myself is justs a guide line to make sure i'm not stacking on the weight, i know i prob wont hit much lower than 100KGs maybe and a big maybe 95KGs its just about loosing this BF and looking and feeling good at the same time!

My main reasons for doing this are we want to have kids soon and i want to be a healthy and active parent and not some couch slob like i was in the past

thanks for all the assistance and motivation you give all of your fans Scoob!
