Hey I had posted this in the wrong forum before so I am moving it.
I'm not sure if this goes here or not, but I'll start off by introducing myself. I have been working out the past 6 months for 6 days on 1 day off every week. I was a former heroin addict and was in rehab for it. I know you're supposed to rest a little more often than that but I was in a locked down drug-rehab center and didn't really have anything else to do. I started as soon as I felt better from getting off the dope and have been at it ever since.
While in rehab I came in at 185 lbs. I walked out 227 lbs. I know the weight I put on was not all muscle I'm positive some of those lbs were fat, my body was just getting healthy again that I wasn't on the dope. Now that I'm back home I can control my diet %100 which is something I did not have the luxury to do before.
It has been a week since I have started my cutting cycle, while I was bulking I was doing 3 sets of 10 reps for every exercise. I have heard and read that for definition and hardness I'll want to do 15 reps per set. I have been doing that and it's crazy!!! I feel so weak by the 14th rep.
I also have been doing a shit ton of cardio, I've been walking about 10 miles a day and biking another 5-10 per day. How much is too much cardio?
My diet basically consists of 4 eggs in the morning, a protein shake for a snack, some fruit for a snack, and then lunch is mostly just seared chicken with just spices on it and salad sometimes, same thing for dinner, and when I get a small meal in between lunch and dinner its usually just some chicken.
I'm looking for any advice one might have to give me on improving my diet, any different exercises I should do, and how much cardio I should be doing.
I'm 225 lbs 5'11 1/2 and between 25-30% bodyfat
I don't think there's anything I missed. I'm just wanting some pointers on what I should do different to improve my training results.
