5'11" 208lbs. Not sure about bf% right now. Probably 25%. I used an online TDEE calculator said my maintenance calories is 2299. So I wanted to drop 500 calories off.

What is your weight loss goal (lbs. and time-frame)? :jbhmm:

Also, that TDEE number seems kinda low unless you're not currently active. If your bf % is actually lower your TDEE would be higher without taking into account your exercise expenditures...

Short term get down to like 190-195lbs in about 3 or so months. So lose like 15lbs.

I'm not active these days. Just chillin at home. Work from home. Etc. Just started walking in the evenings to move around a little. I hit 100 pushups every other day. Trying to get back working out. I took the last 5 months off :mjcry:

Long term trying to get shredded .

Did one one of Wendler's 5/3/1 templates that was set up like that. shyt was :ehh:.

There was also Bodybuild the Upper, Athlete the Lower but it had too much of a focus on athleticism for me. :hubie:

Been doing 5/3/1 myself, haven't looked at the other templates. Just been doing the regular program with added pull-ups and dips :ohhh:

Need these upper body gainz to kick in

Which "regular program" template are you running? What is the supplemental template?

There are so many 'approved' templates and I even experiment and run my own set ups with 5/3/1 programming for the Big 4/5. :whoo:

I'm just doing the OG 5/3/1; squats, deads, OHP, bench. The one where you have monthly cycles and the lifts go up every week with that last deload week. I just throw in dips on bench/OHP days and pull-ups on deadlift day.

Ah, that's basically the 'I'm Not Doing Jack shyt' template. Very economic from a time perspective but not the best option for skrenf or hypertrophy gains.

Hit me up when you wanna join the 5/3/1 Gang and take them gains to the next level.
:youngsabo:

Leviathan, BBB, Boring But Strong, First Set Last w/ Jokers, et all. 5/3/1 Gang runs all dat.
