Looking to do my first show later this year...but currently looking for a good set of macros to start! currently 5'11" 308lbs around 24% body fat.... training for around 8 years
Hey brother,
Just want to let you know that you are most certainly above 24% bodyfat.
You still need to put on a lot of muscle and drop quite a bit of fat.
I am just being completely honest because I want you to see it through somebody else's eyes so you can gauge things better for yourself. Looking to help you out here.
Anyways, I suggest something high fat,moderate protein,and low carbs.
For example: 45% fat, 35% protein, 20% carbohydrates.
Let us know if you need more guidance on anything.
PS, if you are currently just using bench as the staple of your chest routine: stop it. Work hard on your flyes and give it lots of time under tension.
No offense but trinity is right...honestly by the time you truly got down to shredded you might even be a light heavy.
You have probably 75-80 lbs to lose before even being "lean", and shredded is usually 30lbs below lean.
I am the same height and have been 285 and dieted down for a show so I am going by experience here...i thought 250 was a stretch i kind of figured around 235ish or maybe 230. i know im overweight.
Don't worry about your weight, just get in the best shape...I'd hide the scale if necessary. Post some pics when you are sub 10%, I bet you'll be shocked at how good you look.
