    Help with fat loss

    Well heres what has happened.

    I went on a cut for a week...reluctantly i chcked my weight it stayed the same. Not any difference. So i began to think im taking a wrong approach at this.

    So my goal is to loose approx 10 lbs of bf, as my current bf is about 14% @ 172 lbs. My goal is about 8% bf at 160 lbs.

    So what im wondering is 2 things.

    HIIT or Max-OT or Long Duration / Low Intensity Cardio... which of these works best with a low calorie diet?

    How often should i be training?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    My current cut looks like this:

    Day1
    HIIT - 20 mins
    Bicep / Forearms / Back

    Day3
    HIIT - 20 mins
    Pecs / Triceps

    Day 5
    HIIT - 20 mins
    Legs / Abs / Obliques

    I have a rest every other day.

    i am trying to keep my cals low. im at about 1500 calories today. Am i eating to little?

    Your cals are to low go back to 2000 a day. I would do either HIIT or Max-OT cardio on the non-weight training days...
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    I'd try 2-3 days of intense weight training and 2 days of HIIT. On lower calories you'll defitently want as much recovery time as possible...at least have a couple of days off a week
