I made some gains and lost a bunch of fat and weight the last 6 months basically following (loosely) Bill Phillips BFL workout. Lift Mon/Wed/Fri and cardio Tues/Thurs/Sat. The lifting days are either upper body or lower body and they alternate. Sets/reps are 5 sets 12-10-8-6-12 increasing in weight except the last set. My cardio days I do a sort of HIIT program on either treadmill or elliptical trainer. Occasionally I get outside to do true HIIT....sprints on the football field.
I still have some fat I'd like to lose....want to get under 10% body fat. Don't know my current BF % but I know I'm a ways off but I kinda feel like I'm not progressing much any more. Maybe it's diet? but I don't know. I feel like changing my workout though.
What do you think of this? I just bought a book called Cardio Strength Training. I like the concept and think I will start to incorporate some of that into what I do. Not sure though if I should do this in place of my current cardio or in place of my current lifting? What do you GT experts think? I DON'T want to bulk up. Do I want to get stronger? Sure who doesn't but my main goal is just to get in better shape, better condition, better health. Thank you.
