Yes, it may sound vain but I want to get shredded for Summer. I have done a search around here and I couldn't find much that helped so I thought I would start a new thread.
I want to bring my bodyfat % down so I can get some abs showing and get some more definition. Currently I am in the high 12% bodyfat and I would like to get down to 10%.
I know this is done by caloric deficits and cardio. I am happy to do some cardio and am going to be doing burpees along with a mid paced jog twice a week. I am an ecto so fat does tend to fall off me when I start doing these things, though I want retain all my muscle.
This is achieved from a low carb high protein diet traditionally, but I don't want to lower my carbs to much as I am doing a 5x5 and need all the energy I can for that. I am currently in the hunt for strength, so I do not want to lose strength at all. Am I asking to much?
I have looked at Fadi's 2200 calorie diet and am thinking of having a crack at that. I am currently eating ~3500 cals a day and have not put on much fat, so maybe even his 2800 diet might be a better idea to ease into.
Can I get some advice from people that have done this in the past? There are photos in my workout journal if you want to see what I have to lose.
I have never done this so any tips would be great, thanks everyone!
