Feeling a little beat up, is my squat volume too high?

[Andy Baker (KSC)]

No. Your bodyweight is too low. If you weigh 225, you need to be there at a little lower BF%

No. Your bodyweight is too low. If you weigh 225, you need to be there at a little lower BF%

How do I do that? Go back to LP? Monday, Friday 3x5?

[Andy Baker (KSC)]

No, I'm fine with your programming. You just need to fix your diet. Try and get yourself a little heavier without putting on any more body fat.

Andy I'm curious, what weight would you like a 5'6 male to be? Assuming a relatively lean body fat range (10-15%).

[Andy Baker (KSC)]

195-200 and you can be thick and lean at that height. That'd be the minimum I'd shoot for
