This could of fallen under Losing Weight and Toning really, so if this is the wrong place admins feel free to move it.
Currently I weigh 146 pounds, and my bodyfat percentage as done by an electric pulse by a scale is %17. Bad, yes, I know.
My goals are to get my bodyfat somewhere down to around %4. Hypothetically speaking if I did that i should lose 19 pounds. This would put me at 127 pounds. Which is funny enough, the weight class I will be wrestling at.
I will be following standard wrestler protocol and not eat or drink the day of the match (till i weigh in at least
), and not eat 8 hours before i go to bed, while maintaining a low calorie diet for the entire day before. Here's where my questions come in;
I am relativly weak as it is. If I were to drop down to %3 bodyfat, and not eat or drink the day of the match, or 8 hours before i go to sleep, I should be at a constant 125, and for the day of the match probably somewhere around 122. Leaving me plenty of room to develop additional muscle, and not just get rid of fat.
I know that your body tends to only be in an anabolic state or catabolic state. Which from my knowledge means it's impossible to lose weight while gaining muscle. But this is merely what I know from reading on the internet. I weight train 3 days a week, and 3 other days i attend a moderate intensity wrestling camp. I take Saturday off. My weight training regimen consists of:
- Bench Press
- Barbell Curl
- Dumbbell Curl
- Shrugs
- Gun Raises
- Bentover Barbell raise
- Leg Curls
- Lunges
- Incline flyes
- Donkey calf raises
- Arnold Press
For all of these exercises i do 3 sets of 7 reps.
Then sometime before i go to bed i do 2-3 sets of 20 reps of crunches, and the same for bicycle crunches.
My questions are:
- Is %3 bodyfat a safe, temporary (meaning 3-4 months out of the year most likly) state to keep my body in?
- Can I lose that %14 bodyfat while still gaining muscle?
- Is their a more efficent way to of going about this? Keeping in mind I have 1 month till the season starts, and about 2-2.5 months untill my first weigh in.
