Fat loss stopped

[jack98]

So, ive been eating 2.2k cals for the past 3 months and have lost about 2 lbs a week considtantly. Im down from 235 to 204. i would say im 9-10 pct bodyfat currently. ive never gotten completely shredded. this may be close to the most cut up ive been, but i want to keep my options open about doing a show later on in the summer, so i want to drop even more and inexperienced in doing so

however, the past week my weight stayed the same. And this week im up 2 lbs to 206. I did add masteron to my TRT dose of test in the past 8 days. I dont know if this is water weight from the mast though.

It is time to switch something up. I either need to drop my cals to below 2k which is going to be tough and i am unsure if it is the right call. i could carb cycle and see if that works.

or i need to add cardio. so i guess my questions is

how much cardio is too much? to me, ive had best results with high intensity cardio like boxing class, but i realize that over doing that could lead to muscle loss. maybe, boxing twice a week, and long steady state cardio 3x's a week?

That's pretty good for staying at the same calorie level. You already answered your question though. Either drop the cals or start some cardio. Throw it in slowly, like 3 times a week 20 to 30 min LISS. Increase the time as you start to stagnate. Add in the HIIT when you really need to crank things up.

Its called a plateau. SOmething needs to change. SImple, either more card and more weights or less calories.

You can also change up your diet for a couple of weeks and see if it gets a new kickstart. Try taking out almost all your carbs for 2 weeks and see if your metabolism gets back on track. Then you can slowly introduce more back in the mix.

All good advice. How about a huge cheat meal. Usually works to reset the metabolism. I would still toss in the cardio though

through in a good cheat day, mix the body up, let it know calories are there, change the state within the body. Add more cardio

replace your last meal with a burger and fries. the leaner you get, the more often you're going to have to do this.. id recommend doing it the night before leg day or back day.
