Spent the better part of last winter and the first 5 months of this year working on my bench (coming back from an injury). In doing so, my weight got out of control cuz all I could do was focus on a bench number and I just did what I felt I had to do to get it. Anyway, I found myself at 285 when I finally hit it and decided it was time to drop the weight. 6 weeks ago I jumped on a keto diet with intermittent fasting. So far I’ve lost 43lbs.
Now, I really only know keto. I’ve sorted this way for years, but just to lean out some, never to lose this much weight. I find keto very easy, fasting is very easy. The weight is falling off. I just introduced 15 mins of cardio last week. I can ramp that up whenever the weight loss slows. But here’s the problem. I feel super flat, small, never a pump and of course all my lifts are garbage now.
Im afraid I’m gonna come out of this with like no gains. I feel like I look super soft and flabby. Maybe I’m just being a little bitch but I don’t know. Any thoughts? I want to lean out a bunch then go back to lifting heavy again but try to keep the weight gain in check. I’ve got plenty of drive to hit my goals, I just don’t know that I’m attacking it the right way?
