After a 5 year layoff of lifting weights, I have rediscovered my desire (and its been great) to bodybuild/strength/cut and I'm looking for some pointers on getting back into the swing of things.
Stats:
31 year old Male
6'3"
225 lbs (need to shed some fat here
)
Goals:
Drop 20-25 pounds of fat.
Ideal weight, between 200-210 with 8-9% bodyfat.
I've been working on my diet, getting this in order. It will take time, but its always a work in progress.
The routine is my biggest question at this point. I'm trying to determine what is the right amount of work to do; sets, reps, frequency etc.
I was hoping someone might be able to get me some suggestions on a routine that will help me on the following:
-build backup my old strength (my best becnh was 325 1RM)
-lose fat (which really bugs me right now)
-bring some muscle size back
There is a lot of bodybuilding stuff on the internet now and a ton of theories. So many it makes your head spin and even worse, confuses you.
With that, i was hoping someone might suggest a routine to get me on track and accomplish my goals.
I'll be honest, the first thing I want to do, is drop this excess fat. After that, I can adjust things.
I'm excited to be back. I am even more excited to hear responses and suggestions.
Cheers,
