Getting ready for summer
I finished my last exam of this semester today, and am ready to bust my a** in the gym for the next two weeks before my summer semester(I don’t know what i was thinking, Summer School!?!?!)
I have been doing cardio about 5 days a week lately, and weights two to three times a week, I’m trying to find a good balance for my body type. My muscle mass is still alot smaller than I want, but, its much too late in the year for me to be trying to gain size,and so am mostly focusing on cutting bodyfat(like usual.) I’ve seen alot of articles(here and elsewhere) saying to do weight resistance to lose bodyfat, but upon reading these they seem to be focused towards guys a little more out of shape than myself or females.
I don’t know if I should still be doing heavy weights or medium weights w/ higher reps. How often should I be doing weights compared to cardio? I’m looking to just maintain the little muscle mass I have, and burn as much fat of as possible
Side note: My diet is pretty spot on a 500 cal cut a day,5-6 meals a day with as close to 40/40/20 ratio as possible in my situation. My body type is between a mesomorph and endomorph, according to the article on bb.com
Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated!!
