I weigh 230 lbs, I'm 5'10", have a muscular build, and my body fat percentage is probably 28-30%. I have a desk job, play softball twice per week, and want to get back into working out. I used to work out 4-5 days per week for an hour in peak form, with max lifts of 335 lbs bench, 420 lbs deadlift, and 335 lbs squat. This was about 1.5 years ago. I quit going to the gym due to injuries, life factors, and mental health, but I still pushed through for recreational sports. What do you recommend to get back into working out and dropping to 200 lbs?
I'm 5'8" and weigh approximately 185 lbs. My current strength numbers, which are a bit of a backslide from my most consistent periods, are: Bench: 135 lbs x 5 reps, Incline Press: 95 lbs x 5 reps, Pec Deck: 115 lbs x 5 reps, Deadlift: 185 lbs x 5 reps, Barbell Squat: 135 lbs x 5 reps, Leg Press: 36.

I understand that strength training is a lifelong journey, not a destination, and I'm committed to optimizing my path forward. My current goals are clear: I want to build significant strength and lean muscle mass while simultaneously getting my body fat down to the 10-12% range. I'm not sure if it's realistic, but I'd love to maintain that 10-12% BF range. Ultimately, I want to feel proud of my body – whether I'm taking off my shirt, at the pool, or enjoying the beach with my family. I recognize this will likely involve phases of caloric surplus for building, followed by a deficit for leaning out, and I'm prepared for that journey.
