I am currently 300lbs, was in the powerlifting and the strongman game for quite some time. I have a thick well built frame however I do have excess fat accumulated around my midsection. I have cycled and have experience with it.
My time in strongman and powerlifting is coming to an end. I want to look like a bodybuilder, feel better, leaner. however don’t want to compete in any form.
I workout 1.5 hour a day in weights and 1 hour a day I steadily walk 60 mins. 2 days off
What I notice is when “eat like a bodybuilder” I tend to feel fuller/bigger around my whole body but my stomach doesn’t go down. When I eat at a deficit I tend to look “flat” and feel smaller. When I remain in maintenance calorie range I just stay the same.
A part of me wonders if I need to “reset” and completely lose a good portion of weight and build up from there.
What is the best approach?
