Hey Jordan, been a long time lurker on the boards here. First post. Using the BBM training principles has helped me hit pr’s on all the lifts in the past year. Some background info:
27 year old male
6’ 215-220lbs
38” waist
18” neck
18-19% bodyfat Navy calc
Been consistently barbell training for roughly 5 years, mostly 5/3/1 and bro stuff before that. Come from an athletic background, good aerobic base. Haven’t followed any of the templates, do my own programming.
Best lifts:
squat: 500x1 @9
bench: 340x1@9
deadlift: 505x1@8
press: 215x1@9
Recently I’ve gained weight chasing the 500 squat amid the holiday season, was roughly 207 before thanksgiving. Been hitting pr’s on nearly every squat session but had to give up a hole on my lifting belt. Think it’s time to reign it in.
Nutrition on lifting days looks like:
2646 cals 208p/291c/61f
off days:
2055 cals 160p/197c/59f
i lift 4 days a week and do one hiit session on the assault bike. I also have a physical job (carpenter) although I recently started a new job that is less intense than what I was doing last year.
I would like like to get my waist down to the 35-36” range while at least retaining my strength.
How does my nutritional set up look to you? Any training/nutritional advice you can give me moving forward?
i appreciate all the content y’all put out amid the quackery in the fitness world.
Thanks
