You already know the solution: IBI (intense, brief, infrequent) the reverse pyramid style of training is my recommendation. You can build an amazing physique with only 2-3 days a week. I NEVER train more than trice a week.

Yes indeed, I know the solution. Need to plan this in. Need to prioritize this.

Don't make the mistake of going hardcore on calorie restriction and 20h fasting window only to end up skinny. With your numbers on your lifts, you already have great muscle mass (or at least can build it quickly back up since it was not a long time ago you had that mass).
So, essentially you already did the hard part (which is building muscle) and can now focus on maintaining the mass (and even build more. keyword: LEANGAINS) with 2-3 days a week at the gym 30-40 min sessions. You're already set up for success don't lose it buddy. If you really wanna be a minimalist in this sense do 2, 30 min session a week. Don't tell me you cannot spend 1 HOUR a week at the gym

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah! I don't want to become skinny again, but I want to be healthy and flexible. Need to get back there and lift heavy and do yoga.

For general health maybe. The best tool in this sense, for me, is the mirror and what you yourself are proud of and minimally find acceptable regarding fat. Excessive fat is never good in any way, be it mental or hormonal or anything

I can suddenly run without any problem after losing all this weight (fat) and some muscle mass. That was impossible when my weight was at 120 kilogram. I feel more healthy now. I could run before as well, but that was really tough, and my right knee hurt at that body weight, even when I was walking (I did damage it somewhat in football). But I would say I can not lift that slam ball of 60 kg and walk with it as I used to do.
And listen to this, I can run up stairs without any problems, I just jump up like a bunny with no problems at all. Other things in life have become more interesting to me now.
I think if I just keep this muscle mass and become somewhat leaner I would feel good about myself. But I can never take this to obsession again, that would not work at this point in my life...I can only have one obsession at a time.
A home gym in the future would be optimal for me.I appreciate our conversations...they are always so educational. You possess great knowledge in many diffrent areas I would say.

Maybe breakfast and an evning meal would be more optimal? Hard to get everything in in one meal (for 4 hours).

Sorry @MosMaster I almost forgot that you were saying that you do 16:8, I shall look into that more.

This sounds great! How much are you weighing now?I can suddenly run without any problem after losing all this weight (fat) and some muscle mass.

You can have multiple obsessions at once if you have a strong enough 'why' and follow the right (and realistic in practical terms) protocols. That's why I suggested to at least train 2x/week. Aim for minimal effective dose in everything. Ofc PE is more time consuming but we already spoke about this where you said most people just watch tv or some crap 3-4 hours a day so keep that in mind. That's a great way to think about it.
Regarding time window to eat. if 20:4 works for you or 18:6 or 16:8 doesn't really matter. What matters is consistency and seeing slow but steady results over time.

These where good advice. Thank you for them.
You are correct, obsession can be spread out. The reason that I'm defining things I do as obsession, is because I'm either on 200% or off there is nothing in between. If I do something it's all in. But the minimal effective dose is a good mindset to have. This will be a good tool for me.
I have a TV but I do not use it. It's not even any TV channels on it. So indeed I will save time there.
Okey I will stick with 20:4. Become a fat burning machine as they say. Will be interesting to messure myself with the InBody270 in a couple of months...I think I do that the same month I messure my penis. This gave me suddenly more motivation and focus.
I had completely fell off from working out/physical exercise, that's not healthy.

I think my weight is around 100 kg (~200 lb). But I don't know for sure since my scale broke when I was heavy.
Get a new scale...these are important measurements

I remember you talked about this IBI stuff in one thread. I don't know if it's on this same progress log or a different thread was created for it.
