Thread: critics welcomed

Welcome to IM.

So, what prompted this post? Have your gains stalled on your current routine?

As for the 'spare tire' - check out the stickied threads at the top of the nutrition forum. There's a ton of information there on how to drop bodyfat.

Yeah pretty much I guess, I have been stuck at 215 for about 6 months, I eat and eat. I could probably pack on that other 10lbs pretty easy if I stopped doing cardio, but the in the Army you have to be able to run. I'll check the nutrition threads
thanks

Try mixing up your routine... there's a myriad of different things you can do. Since you train each bodypart 2x a week, is it safe to assume that you're not taking each set to failure? You're training relatively lightly?

If so, you might consider moving to a once a week routine, but increase the intensity. Or if you've been training to failure twice a week already, you might try taking a week off and easing back the intensity/volume of your workouts.

Check out the journal forum, there's a ton of training logs in there you can read... might find something you'd like to try.

I would reccommend you post a typical days meals and macros, that would give people a better idea on how to help you loose the spare tire.

I would try the many different proven workout programs such as HST, MAX OT, DFHT, etc. Try each program for 8 weeks, take a week off and try another, or if your happy with your gains, keep using it until the gains become stagnant.
