Hey there people,

I'm heading towards the end of my weight lose. I'm 6'2" and in January I was 115kg which was a huge amount of fat and now I'm 94kg and 8 kg off my weight goal. Looking in the mirror, I desperately need to put on some muscle and I'm 2 weeks into the push, pull legs workout. My fear is that I will put the weight back on as fat. I'm currently at 2020cal a day 202g/78g/126g P/F/C. I've done Scott's nutrition calculations and worked out that I should be eating 2873cal. 

My question is should I keep losing fat now to get to my weight goal then change eating and bulk up or change now? Which is my safest option?

Also will sticking to the PPL workout be fine as long as I keep to intensity and form up?

Thanks everyone in advance 

 

Glenn.

Hey Glenn, you can stick with the PPL.. but we will gradually bring up your calories to 2873... honestly, once you start packing the muscle you will need closer to 3500 calories to keep what you build at your height.

 

so what you need to do is every 2 weeks increase your calories by 250 - 300 until you reach around 3,000. then stay there for 3 to 4 weeks and see how your body reacts. Once you see that you are building muscle and very little fat, we can then begin to boost calories again to get you closer to 3500.

 

Keep us posted!
