I work at a desk Job from 9:30am - 18:30pm.

This has been the program I've been following for the past 11 weeks and have been losing about 1kg a week. My goal to reach everything is about 20-30 more weeks.
Need some body building advice as I would like to look more aesthetically better, but also would like some PowerLifting advice on how to get stronger.
Also any other tips into losing fat/weight loss, I've been thinking about Intermittent Fasting, might try it when I've hit a weight loss plateau.
Let me know if I'm doing everything right, or if I'm over training, or if my macro's/calorie intake is wrong. Or any accessories that would help with my powerlifting etc.

Thanks all!


Nicholas.

Hey bro!

 

So if you sometimes miss a few days or training during the week, I think the best thing for you to do is my PPL program. It is basically a 3 day a week program where you train in the gym and then there are 2 circuit days that you can choose to do in the gym or at home.

 

The last thing you want to do is skip muscle groups and have to play catch-up and you would benefit a lot more from a PPL style of training versus the traditional bodybuilding split you are doing. Especially if your goal is weight loss. With PPL you will build a solid foundation of muscle and will be burning more calories becuse you are breaking down more muscle tissue overall for repair during each workout. (Takes more energy "calories" to repaire multiple muscle groups as opposed to 2 a day)

 

Meal plan looks ok, maybe a fish oil supplement is missing?

 

Once you reach your goal of weight loss, we can then show you how to manipulate your macros to gain LEAN MUSCLE when you are ready.

 

LASTLY, if you want powerlifting... the PPL is a great introduction to the big three lifts and can help you take them VERY far as well.
