I started lifting at the beginning of the year to reduce fat to a target weight, which I have now achieved. For the past few years my training has been focused 100% on endurance (competitive cyclist), which finally led to structural and functional problems and injuries. When I started lifting I was pretty shocked at how weak I was, especially squats and dead lifts.
My goal at this moment is to maintain weight but increase LBM in place of fat. Although at target weight I'd still consider myself a skinny fat person. Is this possible from a calorie sense of just eating at maintenance and continue my lifting, or is it better tackled with a different approach?
Bearing in mind I'm doing 12-15hrs a week cardio, on top of the 3 x a week weight sessions.
