(Wall of text incoming, Easy question at the end, just giving some background)
I've started the Push Pull Legs B workouts, very good workouts so far, I'm feeling very sore and never worked out like this, normally do bro splits.
Now, after spending most of last year bulking, I gained weight (160 lbs) but had a little fat that wanted to get rid of. So, I did a 2 month cut and this was my meal plan during the 8 weeks:
PROTEIN: 1.28 g x lbs of lean body weight during the whole program.
CARBS (Training Day): 0.98 g x lbs of leanbody weight
CARBS (Active Rest Day):0.85 g x lbs of lean body weight
FAT: 45/55 grams during the whole program
Every 2 weeks I substracted around 10/15% of my carbs leaving my protein/fats the same and then, the last week was:
Monday0.55 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Tuesday 0.55 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Wednesday0.47 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Thursday0.47 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Friday0.38 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Saturday0.38 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Sunday0.98 g of starchy carbohydrates per pound of body weight
Now, I started with around 25 mins of cardio twice a day and increasing that amount 5 minutes per session per week, leaving me doing 55 mins of cardio twice a day. Now, I got spectacular results, I finally have a 6 packs, I don't seem to have lost much muscle at all (judging the calipers and the mirror) but as I know what you are thinking, I probably got my metabolism screwed up. I'm want to do a reverse diet to stay lean and go up in calories to be around my bulking Macros as Scott showed on his meal planer and reducing my cardio to regular levels.
Protein: 210 g
Carbs: 170 g
Fat: 70 g
Now, the question is: At what rate do you think I can reduce my cardio and increase my calories everyweek to stay lean and go into bulk?
THANKS!
