I am currently 175 and about 5'11 I want to get down to 165 so I'm lighter on my feet and am able to jump higher. Any recommendations on a good diet or workouts, I have been heavy lifting for soccer season but now I want to cut.
 
if you want to lose weight, eat less and workout more. Simple as that.

I try for as much fruits and veggies during the day as possible and then carbs and meat at night for my big meal and do a lot of time on the bike. Avoiding alc and soda too does wonders. Ymmv tho

Wut type of meals do u make?
 
Just eat fewer calories than you expend 6 days a week and make sure you're eating lots of protein. Eat lots of salads and use skim milk for your protein shakes. Workouts dont help that much with fat loss. You expend far more energy maintaining your body heat and keeping your brain fueled than you do weight training or even running.

I mean this is somewhat true but overall health and fitness is 100% better with proper exercise. You could sit in a basement all day and not eat and lose a ton of weight but that's not gonna help you be lighter on your feet and jump higher.

yeah I know. I'm saying that having a caloric deficit is how you lose weight though. unless you are overtraining, you wont be able to burn enough calories in the gym to make up for eating too much food.
 
This thread has gotten really weird.

But I hit a bench PR last weekend, so I’m happy about that.

That's good, though - congrats! Muscle memory is a beautiful thing; you should get your strength back quickly.

My PR is well below my body weight... pushed 130 on Saturday, and I weigh around 155. New goal is to push a plate before April, which should be attainable if I keep my reps lower than last weekend. Fingers crossed.

Cut all the engine lubricant from your diet and you'll make your goal in a few weeks with zero effort.
 
solid routine is the key. Every weekday if you can. What worked really well for me is every other day. It’s easy to remeber what you did yesterday. Each week is different too so it’s good variety
