Thread: wanta lose the gut, but also add mass...

I've been off for a while (about 2 years). Just signed up to Golds Gym today and did a short full body workout because I know the next couple days I'm going to be really sore.

I'm stuck on what I should be doing. My goal is to lose my gut and get a six pack, but also I'd like to add some mass.

I'm thinking push, pull, legs split (MWF), bike on tues and thurs, and do hiking/outdoors on saturday.

Can both goals be fulfilled at the same time? From the looks of things, I should either decide I want to cut and lose my belly or bulk and add some mass.

I'm currently 155 lbs, asian, 5"7. fairly high metabolism, so you can call me a hardgainer.

The diet is probably a huge part of it as well other than just working out a good program, I know. I've read the slow burning carb diet, but I don't think I'm at the point of micro-managing all I eat, so I'm just going to try to stick with 5 meals a day, no calorie counting, but eating healthy.

suggestions?

I agree with CP. I would keep my protein high and keep calories around Maintence and let the cardio reduce the B/F while the Training add mass to you. Your lucky in a sense that you have had sometime off or this would be a lot harder to do.

I'm currently trying the same thing right now, but have to use gear to do it.
