I’m a 43 year old male, no preexisting injuries or conditions and little to no previous lifting experience. 6’1", 200 lbs, 42" waist measured per Jordan’s article somewhere on the site. I’ve lost 40 lbs over the past 4 months by simply removing alcohol completely from my diet (I used to drink a lot of beer) and eliminating fast food, junk food, snacking, etc. and just eating real food (i.e., if I want bread, I make it myself). I also pretty much cook all of my own food. I have a background in physiology, biology, and biochemistry, so the technical discussions about nutrition aren’t intimidating and are helpful. I weigh myself every morning post urination and measure my food intake using MFP continually throughout the day, both of which are pretty much habitual at this point.
I want to start a 3 day a week strength training linear progression and am unsure as to whether I should aim for the muscle gain or recomposition nutrition targets laid out in the TBAB article. That’s the context and my question. Thanks for any advice.
