Gender : Male
Age: 20
Height: 5'8 / 172 cm
History: I've been training for 3 years now. I started in 2020. Then covid struck. After that I was diagnosed for bipolar. Then I got into med school. Life happened. I had to relocate and stuff. So I guess we could say it's been 3 years of on and off.
I used to be 181 pounds/84 kg in 2020. Then in 2021 I fell back to 163 lbs. Then after starting psychiatric meds, I jumped to 220. My highest was 254 lbs/115 kg. In 2022 i decided to lose it all and i followed a strict shitty, protein devoid, diet so low in calories that even a bikini girl wouldn't touch and then I dropped down to 210 pounds/95 kg.
Currently I weigh 235 pounds/206 KG.
Medical history : I am taking Thyroxine 50 mcg per day for hypothyroidism. But according to my latest medical record, I'm well within the prescribed range of the hormone.
Calorie range :
I'm using my fitness pal and it's keeping me in the cal range of 2282 per day.
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but I want to increase it to 2500 per day.
Current workout plan :
I do full body workouts, 6 days per week. Stupid. I know. But that's what I'm here for. To get the optimal routine.
My workouts last around 45 minutes. My rest period between sets is 30 to 45 seconds. My rest between exercises is 2 - 4 minutes approx.
I concentrate on form, focus on the 15 to 20 rep range with 20 being extremely rare.
I start my workouts with 100 reps on the leg press. I read on the forum that it helps in developing additional capillaries and grow the legs. That's my warm up.
Then I carry on with my weight training.
I try to end my session with a good 10- 15 minutes on the treadmill at around 5.5 to 6.5 setting. No Incline.
I'm thinking about reducing my reps to 8-12 rep rage to failure for a good 4 sets.
Objective :
I'm sick of everything in life and decided that I'm focusing all my energy on fitness and med school.
I want to get under the 15% body fat range and then continue with periodical cutting and bulking routines.
I'll include my pic in the comments if it's necessary to analyze my BF%
can some of you amazing, knowledgeable people suggest me a routine that will work for me?
I want to gift myself a well deserved anabolic cycle when I hit 25. I want to stay natural until that.
I'd be really happy to receive some help and guidance from here and would be really grateful for your help.
Thanks in advance.
Stay strong brothers.
