I had a little goal to get to 200 lbs by the end of the year and I reached it eating cleanly. My strength has increased but I also developed a small gut. In my pursuit for 200 lbs, I cut out cardio for 2 months and kind of ignored abs although I do core exercises.
I still want to maintain strength gains, cut my gut and stay at 200lbs. Possible? I still have strength goals like I got my bench to max at 225 but I'd like to rep it 6 - 8 times. How should I add cardio? What intensity, lengths, times a week? Reps, I keep them low because I'm going for strength. Can I stick with that?
Some side facts:
I do plyometrics twice a week and plan to join bball league in the spring so I'm going to start playing pick up games twice a week. I'm trying to start dunking again also.
I'm a vegetarian but I do eat dairy.
I take creatine and three protein shakes a day.
