12 weeks in ketosis?
 
Currently, I'm trying to attain 6% body fat in 12 weeks. So far...I'm at week #2 and I'm down to 13%. I had tried to do the Bodyopus plan but, I found myself just eventually shoveling down junk-food on the "carb-up" days. So, I decided to stay in ketosis for the remainder of the following weeks. I'm not too concerned about some muscle mass lost...(I'd rather be ripped and shredded...and lose some muscle/strength...than be bulky and strong...what I am now). My plan is as follows:

I'm doing cardio ...2x a day (one session on an empty stomach in the morning...one session in the evening) 5 days a week. This is torture, but...to get ripped...I'll do it. The duration is around 30-40 min. each.

I train with weights: Mon. Wed. and Fri. ...usually sticking around the 15-20 rep range.

I'm supplementing with Xenadrine, Vanadyl Sulfate, L-glutamine, Chromium, and protein powders/bars/pre-made shakes.

I take in 3000 calories a day (as of late) and I cut down 200-300 calories each week. I get 0-10 carbs each day to ensure my being in ketosis.

I've lost over 10 pounds so far. I'm assuming most of it is water-weight and now the layers of fat will be stripping off...I hope.

Any comments or suggestions would be very helpful...thanks.

Would it kill someone to respond to me?

easy
 
Your plan looks solid to me Zeus ... Should get good results from that ...

The only thing I would alter (from experience) is to keep your reps in the 6 - 8 range, and employ supersets to help you retain more muscle mass.

Other than that, full speed ahead.
