Hey guys,
I recently started training because im fat (20 years old 112kg/247lbs 176cm/5'9) and want to get /fit/.
For the last 3 weeks ive been going to the gym everyday, doing random shit (no program).
This week i've started a lifting program (Jason Blaha's Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 Novice Program) and started wachting my diet.
My schedule looks like this:
Monday: lifting
Tuesday: 80 min crosstrainer
Wednesday: lifting
Thursday: 80 min crosstrainer
Friday: lifting
Saturday: 80 min crosstrainer
Sunday: 80 min crosstrainer
On the crosstrainer i choose the fat burning option and try to keep my bpm around 130.
As for my diet i calculated that i burn around 3000 calories a day and try to keep my intake to 2000 calories.
Supplements i take are: Vitamin D3 and Omega-3 (im considering protein shakes but im not sure if i need it)
Is there anything that im doing wrong or could do better?
Yes, you're actually doing a lot wrong. Only work out 5 or 6 times a day. And I'm assuming you're eating ice cream with this workout, just don't dude. If you have to convince yourself it's healthy to eat ice cream while working out you're doing something wrong. Sure, have some on the weekends but that's about it. With all that cardio you won't see much muscle gains, I would recommend going to the gym 5 times a week and doing a hypertrophy work out instead and just reduce overall calorie intake. Try cutting out all drunken calories, beer, soda, coffee, etc and most breads. I'm not saying do keto, but bread in general has a lot of carbs. Protein helps a lot, you should get one with a thermogenesic.

I meant 5 times a week. For the love of God do no try to workout 5 times a day.

Honestly both Saturday and Sunday. Getting the cardio is good for burning fat, but it breaks you down fast. Also take a cheat meal on Saturday or Sunday. Be very strict about what you eat throughout the week and then eat what you want for a meal.

This is a good suggestion for long term application of your program. Very few people would be able to maintain what you have for a long period of time.

I was really hoping this would be a gallon of ice cream a day for mega gains.

Dont listen to this. Dont skip cardio. Cardio is ideal for weightloss. Stick with it.
>>35211251
so ill keep the same schedule except for taking one or two rest days?
>>35211251
I didn't tell him to skip cardio, I told him to not do it 4 times a week. 2-3 is fine to raise your TDEE whole still conserving enough energy to gym it up.

That much Cardio is going to kill you lad, and going to the gym seven days a week is not sustainable. Consider 1-2 "cardio" days per week.
