I was doing only cardio before this and I weight 90kg when I took my first step of run. Cut down to 68kg and I am currently weighing 72.5kg at 166cm. I am not an ecto.

I have been weight lifting since January 2014. Doing 5 days split and eating clean but what I eat was way below TDEE 1500- 1800 in a period of 2 months. Weight continued to drop to 66kg. It was a mistake and rectified the under eating and found that my TDEE is 2100kcal through eating exactly the same food everyday for 2 weeks in 2 different occasions.

After that first 3 months, I decided that I want to get in a good strength base first, hence I switched to SL 5X5. I have been on the programme for 3 months now and below is the weights that I am on:-

Squats - 115kg
Deadlifts - 110kg
OHP - 47.5kg
Benchpress - 72.5kg
Row - 67.5kg

I believe I did them in good form. I hv now stalled to up the weights for 2 weeks now. Not able to complete 5 sets with good form. Hence for the past 2 weeks, I upped my calorie by 150kcal from 2300 to 2450kcal on 3 training days and from 1800 to 1900 on those rest days.

This is what I eat:-

Training days - 175g protein, 205g carbs, 110g fats
Non Training days - 175g protein, 91g carbs, 105g fats

I am still not able to up those lifting weights. But after eating more since 2 weeks ago, body weight goes up by 2kg in 2 weeks in oppose of steady 1kg every 2 weeks when I was eating 2300. The main dilema is, measurement tape is not giving me any figure change after the first 4 weeks into SL in any part except for the waist. Placebo wise, I felt that I have gained muscles all weeks.

The dilema now is, do I up my calorie? Maintain? Change what I eat? Or I need to start changing routine?

First thing to do once you stall would be to deload and then drop weights by 10% and start your progression again.

Dude just wondering you only do cardio just for weight loss, what about doing cardio and weight lifting for weight loss,........and for cardio how long do you do duration, intensity, and etc...cause i just started 2 weeks ago for weight loss just asking some opinion....don't mind. thanks

I deloaded once for squats when I stalled at 102.5kg. At almost the same time, all the rest also cannot be performed at correct form so I deloaded 10% and go again. Everything broke the first plateau but it is here again.

When I first wanted to loose weight, I made all the mistake that one can make. Too much cardio (LSST 40 min a day, 6 days a week), eat too less (less than 1000kcal), very low to no protein and fats. I loose 20kg in 9 weeks. I felt like crap. When I first start wanting to loose weight, how to train, how to eat is not stated in 'How to loose weight effectively' when you google.

In the end, I loose that belly, I loose that fat face, but god knows how much muscles I have lost and how much fats I still have not lost. Don't make the mistake Idid.

So you're bulking now?

Yes, I am bulking now.
