Would you rather keep the fat?but people in other forum said that i need to bulk more, if i cut i will lose all muscle what you think about that? thanks
You can retain muscle while dieting down. However, even if you lose some strength/muscle, dropping the fat and continuing from a better place is worthwhile.
Running a calorie deficit will aid in weight loss. This can be done by reducing calorie intake (especially on non training days) or increasing your caloric demand. Some cardio could help or increase weight training intensity. Not familiar with Dorian Yates program, but increasing sets and time under tension may help calorie expenditure over lower rep programs.
3400 calories with training shouldn’t be super excessive, but I would reduce calories each week until you start losing weight and adjust as needed.
Reduce your fat intake and make sure to stick with good complex carbs. If 50% of your calories (carbs) are pepsiDoritos, and candy those carbs aren’t going to help you. Eat healthy and feed your body, not your stomach.
keep protein levels up 150-175g/day should be good and keep busting your ass in the gym.
As BD mentioned, don’t worry about bulking and cutting. A lean bulk is what you want….sufficient calories to support growth while staying lean. If you’re lean, you will have little need to cut.
Eat clean foods as your body needs them, rather than cramming calories in for the sake of scale weight. Calories and macronutrients should serve a purpose for your body. Nutrition is systematic.
