Restarting LP detrained and a bit too fluffy
Robert,
36/m, 5-8, 183lb, 27.8 BMI, 36.5" waist (measured just under belly button), Neck 16", Arms flexed just about 16".
Previously ran LP then switched to 4 day TM a bit too early and I feel I didnt milk the process as much as I should have. Ended with 355x5 Squat, 405x5 Deadlift, 200x5 Bench, 165x5 Press.
Bulked like an asshole up to almost 190 and did some other stupid hypertrophy program. Realized I was getting fat and not muscular. Dropped 5 lbs in the past 10 days.
Strength is down quite a bit from de-training, restarting LP. Plan to milk it this time for as long as possible. Ultimate goal is to get as big and strong as I can.
Do I continue in a caloric deficit while I regain some strength and continue to lean out more then increase calories or just follow standard LP recommendations from here? Thanks for your time.
