I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind sharing some information to get me back on the right track. I need extreme help with my diet and my workout routine.
I am 6' tall and weigh 360 lbs. which is about 40 plus percent of body fat. No, I'm not a lazy POS but, have had a medical condition with my pituitary gland and now I am currently taking 250mg of testosterone enanthate twice a month by injection.
I have a very large frame (football players build) and at present I workout three to four times per week with the following schedule.

Mon.-cardio (treadmill) 1.5 miles at 3.0 to 3.5 speed for my warm up at a incline of 0 to 2.5,then I hit the weights. I was doing 12 reps but, I just dropped it to 8 reps and increased the weight. Lat pull down 3 sets 8 reps of heavy weight. Tricep pull down 3 sets 8 reps heavy weight...heavy weight for me is 120 lbs., 130 lbs. and 140 lbs. on the tricep pull down. Seated rows 3 sets 8 reps heavy weight... 120, 140 and 160 lbs. Butterfly machine or peck deck which ever you prefer 3 sets 8 reps...120, 140 and 160 lbs. And last but not least the chest press 3 sets 8 reps of heavy weight... 120, 150 and 175 lbs.

Tues.-Strictly cardio... I change the intervals every 1/4 mile. Start with 3.2 speed and at 0 incline, 3.2 speed and 2.5 incline, 3.2 speed and 5.0 incline, 3.0 speed and 0 incline, 3.0 speed and 7.5 incline, 3.0 speed and 0 incline, 3.0 and 2.5 incline, 3.0 speed and 5.0 incline, 3.0 speed and 0 incline and 3.5 speed and 0 incline for a total of 2.75 miles. I the move over to the leg press for 3 sets 8 reps of moderate weight...300, 400 and 470 lbs.

Wed.- Repeat of Monday

Thurs.- Repeat of Tuesday

For someone my size trying to lean out and gain muscle mass in the process, how many calories should I be eating a day? Is my workout routine going to get it done? If not, what would you recommend? Any idea of a good diet or even a grocery list? If you were me what would you be doing?

Following my diet would certainly help you lean out, for deffinate 2 weeks ive gone from 14.6% to 12.9% and i still weigh exatly the same. its much harder to lose bodyfat the lower your bodyfat is, you need to be doing more cardio and you want to be doing high intensity low intensity cardio is pretty shit for fat loss.

[gbrice75]

you want to be doing high intensity low intensity cardio is pretty shit for fat loss.

Absolutely not true! Can you show me any evidence to support this statement?

[percy01]

will find the article from mens health for you !

[percy01]

this isnt the page but its pretty evident from these people with experience thaat High intensity training is the way forward

[percy01]

id like you to show me evidence why you think its "Absolutely not true"

[gbrice75]

As soon as I have some time, i'll find the articles. I'm not saying that HIT is no good, or that one is better than the other. All i'm saying is that your statement is false - low intensity cardio absolutely does burn bodyfat - people have done it for years and continue to do so today. In fact, some will make the argument that HIT will torch muscle along with the bodyfat.

Whoa GB - surprised you didn't look to help out this guy by asking for his macros..

Percy - post macros of your diet - your diet is working because you're eating 'clean' (not candies etc) but it's not optimal ..
the eggs should come earlier like 1st meal or 2nd meal if that shake is so you're not hungry upon wake-up and can't cook asap..
fruit by itself? ditch... pro/carb meal!
glucose powder? just get carbs from whole foods & stop wasting your money
rice cakes - i guess you could do it - but it's not optimal ..carbs should be more so brown rice, sweet potato/yams, potato, ezekial bread...

don't even bother looking for articles b/c that statement is truly false - IMO - HIT is best after workout and in AM or non-workout days low-intensity is best for long durations

[gbrice75]

Whoa GB - surprised you didn't look to help out this guy by asking for his macros..

LoL, you got me bro! It WON'T happen again!

The best cardio workout is incline treadmill 15 clicks maxed out, 2.0 to 2.5 on the speed, Heart rate 130-140, as long as you want. JMO

Agreed on the heart rate, that's the range I try to keep mine in. I don't usually do the big incline, but am able to keep my heart rate in that range by doing 2 mins of running at 6.5 - 7.0 and then one minute of walking at 4.0, repeat for total of 30 mins. I do a variation of that on the stairmaster as well.
