Ano, sabay na ba tayo umuwi?

Hello! I’m a 23M, 168cm, currently weighing around 56-57kg.

I’m a gradwaiting student taking advantage of my break before apprenticeship and the upcoming 9-5 corporate life to fix my physique and build up my athletic capacity.

Main Goals:

• Aesthetics: Increase muscle mass, be leaner, but not bodybuilding-bulky, and lose belly fat.
• Athletics: Improve my running performance (current 5K PR is 27 mins, aiming for faster times) and maintain agility for racket sports.

The Dilemma / Progress So Far:

I started this fitness journey last June, pero puchu-pucho lang and no structure. I only got serious around November 2025.

Recently, due to thesis stress, I lost weight visually (didn't check the scale then). Ang problema, parang nawala 'yung "gains" ko, however small they were. Face-wise, ang laki ng tama,nagmukha lang akong payat sabi ng iba (some said good, some said mas maganda before m=pumayat). But my belly fat? Hindi siya tinamaan gaano. Parang ang bagal ng progress ko.

I used to be a triathlete when I was young (the reason why I want to be fast again haha) and a varsity badminton player. Because of this, sometimes my schedule gets inconsistent kapag may nag-aya ng queueing or badminton/pickleball with friends.

Current Routine:

I currently follow a 3-day Anterior/Posterior split with 3 running days in between (total of 6 active days, depending on recovery and schedule).

I add about 5-10lbs per week or withing the week if kaya, but some is na stuck na gaya ng lateral raises lol

I chose AP split para lang sulit yung mga day-pass ko

Anterior Day:

• Chest Press: 3x6-8 reps
• Shoulder Press: 2x6-8 reps
• Cable Lateral Raise: 1x6-10 reps
• Cable Shoulder Flexion: 2x6-10 reps
• Cable Overhead Extension: 2x6-10 reps
• Leg Extension: 2x6-10 reps
• Hack Squat: 2x6-8 reps
• Cable Crunch: 2x6-15 reps

- Posterior Day

• Chest Supported Row: 3x6-8 reps
• Lat Pulldown: 2x6-8 reps
• Cable Pullover: 1x6-10 reps
• Bicep Curl: 2x6-10 reps
• Calf Raise: 2x6-10 reps
• Leg Curl: 2x6-10 reps
• RDL: 2x6-8 reps
• Hip Thrust: 2x6-8 reps

Running Schedule (3 days/week)

• Day 1: 45 mins Zone 2 run
• Day 2: Speedwork (10x400m intervals)
• Day 3: Tempo run or LSD (Long Slow Distance)

Note: I've been doing this consistently for about 2 months now, as long as hindi sumasakit ang katawan or masyadong busy. Before the two months, mas marami ang cardio, as social activity to eh

Nutrition & Supplementation:

• Creatine: Consistent daily use since January.
• Protein: Whey protein taken only after gym sessions + 3 whole eggs daily.
• Diet: No strict meal prep, basically kung ano lang ang mayroon at nakahain sa bahay.
• Calories: More or less at maintenance. I used to weigh my food, and my weight has been playing steadily around the 56-57kg mark for months.

Questions:

1. Given my stats (medyo on the lighter/leaner side at 56kg but with belly fat), should I continue staying at maintenance?
2. Is my training volume too high combining lifting, 5K speed training, and occasional badminton/pickleball? How can I optimize recovery?
3. Any critiques on my Anterior/Posterior workout split for concurrent training (running + lifting)?
4. What part of my physique should be improved?

Looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you!
