Member 3486, 246 posts SQ 230, BP 160, DL 250640.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Was wondering if there has ever been a thread relating to the diets of the lighter weight class strongmen. I would love to try competing again next year but would like to get my natural bodyweight down to 90kg or very close rather than trying to loose 5kg in a week like i did last time. I was wondering how important things like protein intake would be?? Im a natural lifter 5 foot 7 and 97kg bodyweight at 14% bodyfat. Thanks for any help lads | ||

You lads are smaller in bodyweight but LOADS stronger than me. Would love your help. Tar I meant more that you must be jacked than you should compete. 97kg 14% at 5.7 is serious haha. It depends on the person but a gradual calorie reduction diet would be a simple starting point. How well you handle carbs etc is another story and youd have to figure out for yourself but as a general guide the slower you lose the weight the better youl feel and more strength youl be able to keep. Find your maintenance calories and adjust from there, wer are you based mate? | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Dieting and keeping strength is different to just getting shredded . I wouldn't low cArb unless you've done keto before and know how you feel whilst doing it. I feel like crap but hix always felt great. Personally I would just slowly reduce why you eat . Eg first cut out all s**t, then reduce dairy . If you're walking around at 14% then won't take long to drop to 10% then I wouldn't go much lower or strength may suffer . I would also get your bodyfat done to make sure you're estimation is correct. | ||
