Natural Progress Log So Far !!!

[Sub_Zero]

Looking lean. Time to clean bulk to 200, ha.

OP bulking for me is a mission. I suppose it's due to my fast metabolism. It dissolves food like a sulphuric acid and by the time I know, it's WC time ... I'm currently on:

3500 Kcal
x4 1h Cardio sessions per week
x3 Heavy set days low reps average breaks
x3 Light set days high reps minimum breaks
Hitting every muscle group twice a week
Protein/Carbs/Fat - 40%-35%-15% for heavy days and 40%-20%-30% for light days
3-4 litres of water is a standard
Supplement wise: Animal Pak and Flex

Any ideas what I could tweak ?

I would cut the cardio back to 3 times a week at 20-30 min

This, and up your carbs man. You also don't need that much protein 250g is more than enough. Get your carbs up to 500g and don't eat that much less in non workout days

less cardio and more calories (carbs and protein). how much sleep do you get? should aim for at least 8h a night more is better.

Sleep is something that I have work my way around it because of my work and studies. Usually aim for 6-7 during heavy days and less 7-8 during light days. The reason for that is because somewhere within a middle of the week I start to feel depletion so I have to up my vitamin B complex, increase sleeping hours and bump 200mg of Adrafinil or Modafinil. I know you may think that I'm nuts but believe doing foreign exchange market, working for government and trying to have perfect physique has its price

I see... It's just that I never liked an idea or having my carbs above 300. I usually cycle them throughout the week and was recently looking into Keto however it's a bit too soon as I'm looking to bulk for the time being. However, I'll give a try and see how it goes.
In terms of cardio, I'm a former sprinter who unfortunately was granted an honorable discharge due to severe knee injury which resulted in dislocation and my inability to cope with intense training. That being said, my cardio consists of drills. So you can say that more likely having a cardio and leg workout at the same time. However I will most certainly try to cut it 50% to see if it will be more beneficial to me. Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.
