OK I'm a bit stumped here, I haven't competed since 1990 in the AAU and now I'm a lot older things are much harder. I was bulked up to 245 (I'm 5'9") but had good sized gut and abdominal fat. So I decided I'd sacrifice muscle to lose BF in the ab area. So at first I trimmed to 220, looked pretty cut but abs still pretty bad. Now about 9 wks ago I started running early in AM and have worked up to an hour, approx 4 miles 4 times a week. I'm at 207 and abs looks much better but still have a long way to go.
I want to compete in the heavyweight class but I know that even at 197(the cut off between classes) my abs still won't look real sharp. I'm eating pretty damn clean, my only fats are from salmon a couple times a week. IIRC when I was in the Central USA in 1990, I was 189. So any suggestions how I can still lose ab fat and still remain above 197? Am I doing too much cardio? If so do I cut back on frequency or elapsed time? I know that I've lost size in my thighs due to the running. Or do I increase protein? Or continue on this weight losing course and see what weight I have my six pack back regardless of bodyweight? I know I have both inner and outer fat. According to my calipers, I have about 30 mm of fat in lower ab near the naval. Not good.
I've been taking 300 mg of Prop and same of dose of Tren Acetate/week and run 2.5 IU of GH 5 times a wk. plus am just coming off T3
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
