I starting out on the 5x5 and my primary goal is fat loss (Getting strong is very close second).
In the past I did only eating reduction and no exercise so I got "skinny fat".
I still have what I consider a very large middle and a bunch of flab in the thighs.
I know I will gain muscle and lose some fat on 5x5 but I have noticed that some people complain about getting strong but not losing their belly fat. I would really like to worry about this now rather than later so I can get on the path to losing my belly.
I am 31, ~94.4 kg and 189.5 cm.
I am basically a cylinder my hips, chest and waist are all 101cm.
I don't have calipers but my electronic body fat tester thingy says I am ~23.3%
(it said I was ~27 about a month ago but since I have only done 2 weeks of 5x5 I am not sure if it is a computer glitch or if I actually already lost 3.7% body fat. my guess is the former)
So suggestions would be helpful.
Should I add cardio to the 5x5? if so when is best? also how much?
Is there a common consensus on which types of cardio are most beneficial in this area?
Where is a good place to figure out roughly how much I should be eating in a day?
