Hi,
I’m 6ft 180lbs. I’ve been eating at maintenance since August after a long break from the gym due to lockdown. My waist has dropped from about 35.5 inches to now ~32 inches while maintaining 180lb bodyweight. I ran the begginer prescription and am now half way through the bridge and I’ve been making slow and steady progress (much of it regaining strength from before). I was wondering if it’s prudent (health-wise) to switch to a small surplus now or should I keep cals at maintenance and ride the wave until my waist stops dropping? I’m half asian half caucasian, so I was going to slow bulk until my waist reaches ~34 inches before cutting. (apologies I know you get this kind of question constantly!)
Thanks!
I think you should get a little leaner before adding calories back. I’d keep your waist under 32-33" going forward.
This is helpful. I started at 38 inches and am now at 35. Had the same question. I’ll eat at maintenance and continue to try to “recomp”
Cool, thanks for the reply! I’ll keep going till my waist is at ~30" then
