Hello all,
I'm working through the Rite of Passage program, currently doing 5x5 ladders with the 24kg on the heavy day and trying to compress the rest time whilst I get stronger at pressing the 32kg.
During the holiday season, and, to be fair the run up to it also, I put on an extra 8 or 9 kg's which I now need to dial back. I'm doing so on a calorific deficit of about 500cal a day at the moment, but, having just done my first heavy day of ROP since reducing, I'm feeling pretty hungry!
My goal is, of course, to lose the snacks and booze weight without losing muscle. Has anyone done this particular program in a deficit? Is this too much or about right? I'm thinking I won't bother progressing to ladders with the 32 until I reach my goal weight and am back to regular calories, so not too concerned with gaining lots of strength - just maintaining current strength and muscle as much as possible.
P.s Am Male, 38yrs, 5ft 11in , 94kgs currently. Looking to be around 85kg.
Many Thanks,
