lower B/F and put on muscle !!!!

[davidshan1]

Hi,

I’m just back hitting the gym after 6 month total break (extended holiday) Was in quite good shape before the break so want to get back there ASAP

Currently I’m 6 foot and 80kg. B/F is about 14 – 15%. Was probably about 5kg heaver before beak from gym and lower B/F

I’m back in gym 1 month now and currently doing 4 day Push / Pull split. I was thinking about changing to 3 day FBW (Which I did before and worked well)

The question I have is that I’d like to lower B/F and put on muscle (I know – not easy!!) Is it worthwhile to do FBW Mon / Wed / Fri and cardio on Tues / Thurs? Was thinking it may work for a couple of months if I cycled calorie and carb intake on cardio and weight days.

Any opinions on this would be great. I’m sure the general feedback will be a bulk / cut cycle but just looking at options

Cheers

Given your 6 month hiatus from the gym i would definitely consider a FBW like stronglifts 5x5 and then look at carb-cycling to lower your bodyfat and increase your muscle.

Sort of thought as much. Would you recomend to hold off from any serious cardio for now?

Your plan of FBW Mon/Wed/Fri and cardio on Tues/Thurs sound good with carb-cycling, I would go along with that.
