Increase your fat intake
Decrease your carb intake
You may need to bump your calories up just a bit.. maybe 300 or so.
Make sure you're lifting weights 2-3 times a week
Do HIIT 2-3 times a week
Do LSD any other day you train
It seems to me you're probably going to have a lot of room for improvement. |
I do lift 6 times each week. I'm on a program of linear progression (cycling from 10 reps down to single reps), push/pull/legs split. My goals are a single-rep max on backsquats and standing overhead press. Given where I am now, I think it's likely I'll get it in a couple weeks.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to run a program for running which involves 3 days/week of HIIT. For example, workouts including tabata sprints, hill repeats, intervals, etc. I don't ever do LSD anymore, since it seems counter-productive to my goal of gaining strength. I find it difficult, though, to run both the lifting/running at the same time. I'd probably make better gains on both if I just focused on one at a time, but I can't let go.
I'd like to lower the carbs even further. I'll review my log and see what I can cut out. Fruit is loaded, so maybe my 1 apple/day needs to go.
