Gain Muscle AND lose weight, possible? I donno
Here is my dilema. I work in Iraq as a civilian contractor and I want to take a 20 day vacation in middle of June and want to look lean and have "somewhat’ of a flat tummy and abd showing! Iam 7 weeks or so into my workout regimen. I have dilligently used a workout booklet to track ALL my exercises, reps, sets and weights. EVERYTHING is going up in numbers (meaning my lifts) by a lot, as expected since I started at close to 200 pounds at 5′7 1/2.
I lift 3 times a week, two times a week its heavy and the other is an all body workout of high reps. In addition, I do 2-3 high intensity (HIIT) cardio for 30 minutes and 2-3 45 steady state ellipitical sessions/week.
I just want to look lean and see some type of abs by middle of June!! Is it possible???? I supplement with creatine, EAS Muscle Armour (HMB and glutamine) and a multi vitiamin every day.
I eat approximately 2000-2300 calories a day, and easily have 180g of protein, PLUS my first 4 meals of day are ALWAYS every 3 hours, the last one may be 3-4 hours after the 4th meal.
So CAN I LOSE FAT AND GAIN MUSCLE???
