Getting lean is hard… but getting leaner when you’re already lean? That’s a whole different level 😮💨
My goal was to get back to 60 kilos and tey to maintain as much muscle mass as I could. On Hogmany I weighed in at 64.9 the heaviest I have been in 14 years. I didnt set a time frame because I know from prep days the last few kilos are a struggle.
Its tough getting leaner as theres a smaller margin for error, when you’re already lean, even tiny slips in diet or training show up quickly
Your body fights back harder, increased hunger, lower energy, more cravings… your body wants to hold onto fat.
Progress is slower, you’re chasing the last few %, not big visible changes anymore, alot of losses comes from feeling.
Recovery takes a hit, less body fat often means lower recovery capacity and more fatigue.
If am honest I believe its more mental than physical, foo discipline, patience, and consistency become EVERYTHING.
I have almost hit my goal weight... but my bodyfat has went up 2.7% and am losing mass which i dont like.
Why am I chasing a number? No reason other than with age that number has been creaping up and I dont like it.
