Started weight training in Aug and have made great gains since; this board has been a tremendous catalyst in my achievements. I am currently 5' 8" and weigh 210 probably around 25% body fat. When I started training I was around 190. Needless to say I look much better now at 210 than I did at 190! Anyhow, the time has come for me to lose some fat.
I am currently on a 5x5 routine (centered on dead lifts, squats, bench press, standing millitary press, standing bicep curls, close grip bench press) and was wondering what changes I should make? I know, from reading this board, that I should not expect to gain strength/size while dieting. Should I stick with my current 5x5 and just not add any weight to my lifts?? I am looking to get down to around 175 and will be doing cardio 5 times per week. Diet will be clean but not a CKD. Once I hit 175 I plan to do a clean bulk. I tend to put on weight pretty easily. Thanks in advance for any advice.
