Im 5'8 too and 13.5 stone, would like to be around 15 stone with 10% body fat

I'm going to try and lose my fat first, I must be about 20%-25% bodyfat. I hide it well tho with clothes on, it's mainly on my ass and stomach.
15 stone at 10% would look great, especially at 5"8

Anyone doing or has done GVT?

Can you post details of your routine please?

Starting it this week but looking for some inspiration.

6ft 4 and 16s 8lb. Would like to be down around 15s 6lb. Plan is Weights/Cardio mixed with a bit of insanity workouts as I enjoy them. Down side is working shifts and going after/in between night shifts.

Motivation after the 6th set was a killer for me.

You'd look like a cuboid.

Anyone else fked recently?
I'm almost nodding off, normally I'm happily up till 3am and up about 11am.
recently I've done 10pm-8am and a afternoon nap!

Yes im struggling at the moment shattered all day but come night i wake up and cant sleep :-(

Should be used to it again in a week or so. This week is going to a long one !

The dive to 5% body fat has begun.

Part 1 is a short sharp shock (PSMF) to lose about 2-3lbs, most of which i laid on in November/December/xmas, that gets me from 9% to 7% in 2-3 weeks (easy bit, done that several times)

Below 7% it gets hard! Best i've managed is 6.5%

So 2-3 weeks from 9% to 7%
Probably 2 months from 7% to 5%

Down from 18st 7lb to 18st 5lb since Friday, had a couple of insanity sessions intersparsed with ice Hockey on sunday night. Yesterday was my rest day, today Pure cardio and cardio abs.

Clothes are really starting to feel loose now, which, to be fair they should be as I was 19st 13lb back in November!

[theshrew]

Dont pay to much attention to weight it can miss lead you. Take photo's every week and you will see the and feel the change.

[Pete102]

sound advice shew...as I found out to my detriment one night when I weighed myself out of curiosity...to find I had put on 4lb! (it was gone by the following morning)

Another way is to have a pair of trousers that you struggle to fit into. Watch how you manage to fit into it more easily every time.

Viz Top Tip: to save the heartache of putting on the pounds, buy bigger trousers.

My elbow still aches from late last year. Can't do any heavy pushing.

Don't be daft. You can never have too much.

What will thAT BE?

[Smitters]

I'm in.

Short term goals are losing the additional padding gained following injury rehab from September and getting back to regular running.

Long term goals are a summer offroad marathon and a race called the T184 in late August.

[Halb]

I think I'd also like to compete in an obstacle race...and beat whomever I run with.

5% bf is VERY low! You'll look like this:

I'd be interested to see how bodybuilder like I could get naturally. I know I'm not anywhere near peak muscle yet and without being big headed I'm huge
I like food too much to bother though
