About me:
Age: 24

Bf % (estimated): 13%
Training history:
- Played college football for 5 years so 6-7 years of intense weight training
- Football is now over and ive continued do some powerlifting but have switched over to more circuit training
I’ve been able to get a “4-pack” when I eat well without cardio, but never the full set! Im currently working an office job but other than that I have a lot of time and to fill that time im going to focus on my diet and training. Any help is greatly appreciated.

- 500cal/day for fat loss= 2600 cal/day (IS THIS CORRECT???)
