Hey guys,
I’m still a skinny runt, but I’ve progressed to the point where I’m satisfied with some of my body parts and my overall mass. My two goals now are to cut the bodyfat I gained while bulking and to modify my workouts to improve my lagging body parts (biceps, triceps, calves). Is it possible to accomplish both of these at once or do I need to focus on one at a time? I’m an ectomorph and it seems much easier for me to get lean then it is to gain and hold mass. I’ve focused on bulking for the last couple of years and during this time I’ve only walked for cardio. I recently tried adding cardio for 3 days per week for 30 minutes per day at 55% of my maximum heart rate. My bodyfat did begin to go down, but I noticed that I lacked my usual “oomph” in the gym and I wasn’t able to “blast through” the end of my sets like I was when I was only walking. I want to cut the bodyfat I’ve gained, but I’m concerned that I won’t be able to improve my lagging body parts while doing cardio this way. My diet is already as clean as I can see to make it. Any advice about how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
