I am 58 yrs old, 5–2", 165lbs. Started SS 8 weeks ago training two days each week and in LP for squat, bench press & deadlift but plateaued on Overhead Press at 95lbs. I am squatting bodyweight, deadlifting 1.36x bodyweight and bench pressing 0.9x body weight.
Measured body fat at 29.9% using DEXA scan prior to SS training.
For the past 6 weeks I’ve been measuring my body weight and body fat using the scale at the gym. My weight has fluctuated ± 2lbs and body fat has held around 29-29.2%.
What articles or suggestions on diet and nutrition should I read that would allow me to continue to build strength while reducing my body fat to around 15%?
Welcome to the forum and congrats on starting training.
That all being said, I don’t think that measuring your body fat weekly is necessary (or accurate enough) to guide management, i.e. what you should do training and nutrition wise. I would much rather you use your waist circumference instead.
