AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts	Have been making fantastic gains recently. I know I am ready to destroy my PBS. Only one problem. I am a fat c**t and I would like to get a bit leaner, while maintaining my strength if possible. Has anybody any tips for me? Would appreciate any help! Thanks

Thanks I think how possible this is depends on: 1. What your current diet is like. 2. How you currently train. 3. Which strengths you would like to maintain. If your diet is not great, your training is less than perfect and you aren't wholly fixated on bench and squat, you have some chance.

Bench and squat always dropped, though front squat less so. Big weights - agreed. Better lifting 3s and 2s at between 75-85% regularly than thinking you need to do lots of reps.

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10446 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400 940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq	Ive lost quite abit of weight since the end of last year and have increased strength, I think I managed it by 1. Having lots of bodyfat so it didnt make too much of a difference to muscle mass and 2. being young. I dont know if you have either of those!

Does not need Advice, knows everything. Member 3505, 3510 posts SQ 295, BP 182.5, DL 290 767.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	As above really. Bench and Squat will inevitably suffer, but how much depends on lots of variables. To minimise keep the deficit small, take the weight/fat loss slow to try to retain as much muscle as possible. You could use some very low intensity cardio for this and keep intake higher.

You could use some very low intensity cardio for this and keep intake higher. This If you are natural, then quick or even moderate pace loss will generally lead to strength loss. Slow weight loss is less likely to. An alternative is to to start doing lifts you didn't used to do. Eg if you only back squat, then switch to fronts or deficit instead of deadlift and because they are new movements the numbers will go up over time

Member 4865, 240 posts	As far as diet is concerned low carbing/carb back loading will see you lose body fat. Considering I was already fat, my approach in the past was to eat an unhealthy amount of carbs from junk food and I got even fatter. If your current diet consists of say 250g of carbs daily check to see how much of that is from sugar/fast acting sources (readily turned into fat). Its fun seeing your lifts go up when you are stuffing yourself silly but think of the health issues as well - diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol levels through the roof etc.

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255 448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	Cutting carbs out after lunchtime really helped me to shift close to 2 stone in 10weeks but with no loss of strength! Granted I was 140kg at the time, but bench and deads poundages were still going up well as was all my OH work! Decent carbs at breakfast (oats etc) and at lunchtime (rices, some pasta, sweet potatoes etc) are great and other meals were just meats and lots of green veg etc

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	Post Edited: 27.06.2015 @ 11:18 AM by Fazc I think keeping the loss slow and the calories high is important as had been said already. Cardio for me is very important to keep your calories high enough that you have the energy to keep expenditure high. Also on that note right now I'm preferring to lift weights less often and replace those sessions with cardio instead. I feel in better recovered for each session and I'm still making progress this way. This way cardio becomes a priority, not something you tag on later. You come into the session feeling strong, with less nagging pains from underfeeding and underrecovering. Psychologically that's a big boost too.
