How long have you been following this plan? And have you been maintaining, gaining, or losing on it? Food choices look decent and ratios seem good. Also, what kind of training do you do?

I just made it up today So I have no idea how it will effect me. I am thinking of trying HST as I have been doing mostly max-ot for the past several months.

In that case, I would scale calories down slightly - aim for 11 to 12 times bodyweight...which wouldn't be that much less than what you have with this plan.

Then follow it for at least two or three weeks and gauge your progress. It looks like a solid enough plan to me.

You might try a training a split that has you lifting weights one day, and doing cardio the next.

Three things:
- From glancing at the food choices, I think you may have overestimated the amount of carbs in your diet.
- You won't be able to drop 15% BF in three months
- Eat more VEGGIES! It's a shame that so many people do not appreciate the benefits of these wonder-foods.

hmph...not even with the help of sustanon 250 EW first cycle? I think I can.

Also...How do you mean you think I overestimated the carbs? The food choices and amount were added up based on nutritional facts from fitday...
Thanks.

I'd like to hear, too, opinions on whether 15% bf could be dropped in 3 months, yea or nay?

The way I figure it, If wesley weighs 230, then each percent of his body is 2.3 lbs. So 15% is (2.3 X 15)= 34.5 lbs

3 months = 12 weeks
so
34.5 divided by 12 is:

2.875 lbs per week he has to lose

Myself, I lose anywhere from 1.5 to 2 lbs per week when I cut, and I wouldn't want to lose more than that. I'm sure its possible, but how much lean mass would be lost also? Any thoughts out there? Are my calculations in the ballpark?

 

[wesley90]

Well...I am running sustanon250 1 ml every week...shouldnt that help out!?

 

[evander1972]

I think you might need more than that Bro to prevent muscle loss.

More what? I am getting 3000 cals...
