Dropping from 11% to 6% Body Fat
Jerry: You’ve been looking lean lately. What’s your plan to go from 11% down to 6% body fat?
Robbie: The main focus is tightening up my nutrition. I’ll be in a slight calorie deficit, but I’ll keep protein high to preserve muscle.
Jerry: So you’re not cutting out carbs completely?
Robbie: No, I’ll keep carbs around workouts for energy and recovery, but I’ll reduce them at other times. It’s more about timing and portion control than eliminating them.
Jerry: What about training?
Robbie: I’ll stick with heavy strength training to maintain muscle mass, and add in some high-intensity interval cardio a few times a week. That way, I'll burn fat without losing strength.
Jerry: Sounds tough. How do you make sure you don’t burn out?
Robbie: Sleep and recovery are key. I’ll aim for at least 7–8 hours of sleep, manage stress, and adjust if I feel run down. It’s a gradual process, not a crash cut.
Jerry: So basically, steady deficit, smart training, and recovery?
Robbie: Exactly. Consistency is what will take me from 11% to 6% without sacrificing muscle.
