I am a 54-year-old male recreational athlete. I am 5'10" and weigh 165 pounds. I am in a fat-reduction phase where I want to reduce my body fat percentage from 19.5 to 17.0 over the next 10 weeks. After that, I want to move to a strength and muscle-building phase for the following 8 weeks. Is this the optimal approach for my goals? Should I make adjustments?
I am currently performing strength training 4 times a week with an upper/lower body split, doing one day of 50 minutes of spinning and one day of 45 minutes of basketball. I would like to continue to progress on my lifts by adding 1 pound per session to my main upper body lifts and 2.5 pounds per session to my main lower body lifts. I am at a 300-400 daily caloric deficit. Is this the optimal approach for my goals? Should I make adjustments?
I am training hard following a split as follows: Monday - Legs, Tuesday - Arms, Wednesday - Back, Thursday - Rest, Friday - Chest, Saturday - Shoulders. Diet-wise, I am currently on a calorie deficit for the next 6-8 weeks after being on maintenance calories for 8 weeks. I eat completely clean whole foods, no junk, high protein, low carb, low fat diet averaging 180-200 gm protein, 50-80 gm fat, and 70-100 gm carbs, totaling 1500-1800 Calories. I am confused if my nutrition is correct and if such hard training is warranted during a fat loss phase, as I may not be gaining much muscle.
