OK, for the past year I have been working out and been trying to lose some weight. I was never overweight to begin with, I am 5′10″ and weighed 175. After a year of hitting the gym and eating healthier, I now weigh 160. Not only have I lost some weight, but I have gained some muscle as well. I am trying to see what else I can do to make myself more lean and cut.
Currently, I am going to the gym around 4-5 times a week for about 2 hours. I usually run or bike for about 30 minutes, then hit the weights. I alternate days, I workout upper body one day, lower body and abs the next day. I don’t lift a ton of weight, I lift enough that I can do 10-12 reps tops. Should I decrease the weight even more to do around 20-30 reps? And should I only do 1 set, instead of 3? I have read books and taken courses and everything says I should do this to get cut, but am not sure if it would work.
My diet is pretty simple. I don’t eat out much, maybe once or twice every two weeks. For breakfast I a bowl of cereal, lunch a can of tuna and piece of fruit, and for dinner usually some chicken. It gets very boring after a while but have stuck with it. Should I be eating more? I also try to eat lots of little healthy snacks in between so I’m not too hungry throughout the day. I usually get around 1500 calories a day.
Are there any other tips anyone has there? Please let me know. Also, feel free to comment or ask me anything as well.
