Looks solid. I think ZMA is a waste of money, better investment would be glutamine.
You post your supps, but as you said, supps are nothing without proper intake. Hows that gonna look? Whats your plan? How many cals? Macro breakdown?
Exercise plan? You say cardio 4x/week, for 45 min a pop. What kind of cardio? (Looks like a traditional "run on the treadmill for 45 min") Id suggest looking into Max-OT Cardio or HIIT.
Get back to us. Flood us with info.
I am looking to start next week. I've had to go through this whole weight loss regime back when I first started lifting. I managed to go from 220lb ( pure fat though ) down to 165 and then started bulking. I got injured exactly two years ago and got injured again 6 months ago. So been eating like sh*t and not lifting. The way I did it back then was: eat very small ever 3 hours and do cardio like a maniac. It worked but I was weak and felt like crap 99% of the day.
This time around I need to do it smarter. I've done the Anabolic/Metabolic diet back when I was lifting and trying to cut a few lbs and did not feel weak. I've good success with the low carb high fat diet. So, since my current diet is very wild & high in calories I plan to start at a Maintenance phase of the Metabolic diet.
235 x 18 = 4230 Daily Calories.
I plan to do this for a total of two weeks and then start lowering my calories weekly by 500kcals. The first week I will have no carbs and second week start the 30 carb daily. Then by the 12th day carb up for 48 hours and start lowering calories.
Next, is my training routine.
From past expirience the HST Method/Routine has worked well for me. So I planned to do a 3 day split similar to the one in their website with a few tweaks. First week I will perform basic lifts to adjust my body to lifting once again. Second week I will start HST and third week take off for conditioning. Fourth week starts HST.
Cardio.
I've done a sh*tload of cardio in the past but not Max-OT Cardio or HIIT though. What has worked well for me is a steady jog for 30-40 minutes and then do 15 minutes of stairmaster.Mix it up though. A bit more info in Max-OT Cardio or HIIT plz.
I do have some glutamine left which I forgot to mention, 15-20 g daily?
Here is a sample:
Anabolic Diet Maintenance Phase
Anabolic Diet Cutting Phase
The focus of the maintenance phase is so that the body gets used to using ketosis for energy. I will consume a total of 1800-2000 calories over the course of 5 weeks.
- Weekdays
1. Breakfast (7:00 am) - - 4 whole eggs (fried or omelet) - - 240 calories
2. Lunch (11:00 am) - - whey protein shake - - 160 calories
3. Meal 3 (3:00 pm) - - 1 tuna can w/ 1 mayo serving - - 250 calories
4. Meal 4/P.W.M (5:30 pm) - - 2 serving of turkey ham - - 200 calories
5. Dinner (8:00 pm) - - 6-8 whole eggs (fried or omelet) - - 480 calories (alternate)
5. Dinner (8:00 pm) - - 4-5 servings of cheese - - 450 calories (alternate)
6. Meal 6 (10:00 pm) - - 2 tuna cans w/ 2 mayo servings- - 500 calories
Post.Workout.Meal
1 whey serving w/ simple carbs (20g of sugar) 200-300 calories
Totals:
calories:1800-2000 | protein: 150-180g | fat: | carbs: 20g
