65kg shoulder press, 130kg bench press, 180kg squat and 220kg deadlift. So I expect to have an okayish base.

Humblebrag. Let me be the first to say, pleasant internet stranger: I do not believe these numbers. But, that doesn't matter. No worries.

My metabolism isn't the best

Bullshit. That's an excuse. You eat like crap.

and therefore I'm still at 120kg 30% bf.

For us Americans, that's 264 lbs. You're a fat fuck.

As you may guess, I want to change this as fast as possible.

It's really ALL about nutrition at this point for you.

No more crap in your mouth. Period. The only liquid you should be drinking is WATER. Everything else should be healthy proteins+veggies+fats. Minimal carbs. NO snacks. Make a calorie deficit. Learn to shop and cook. There's a reason SO MUCH information around weightlifting and bodybuilding is nutrition based.

At your size and weight, (and, ahem, lifting power), keep up your protein, drop your carbs, add in some cardio (doesn't even need to be HIIT), point toward keto without going crazy, and the fat will melt off you.

Steroids is the obvious answer here. To me, the risks outweigh the rewards (especially if you don't know what you're doing).

Instead:

cut calories massively (no more snack food, water only) and your meals need to be centered around protein.

Drink whey protein 3 times a day (only 100 calories each and 24g of protein). ON natural vanilla gold standard whey is good.

Instead of doing 5x5, switch to high reps for a bit. I did 5x5 when i started, saw okay results. When I switched to high reps (12-20, where the final 2 reps are tough) I saw WAY FASTER growth. Give that a try. I'm a believer in high reps. Get a good pump and do a lot of volume.

Get some BCAA powder. I use an Optimum Nutrition unflavored powder and I toss it in my mouth and chase it down with water. BCAAs are the 3 most important amino acids in protein for muscle growth. 5-6g per serving and I take that 4 times a day. No calories and a good way to keep your body in an anabolic state.

HIIT cardio might help you as well. Cardio is great and all, but getting that diet on point is much more important.

Overall: more protein, less calories, and change up your workouts.

EDIT: I just converted your body weight to lbs. what is your height? At 120kg, I would start today and cut calories big time.

Google n-suns routine. Get his TDEE3 spreadsheet. Enter data religiously. Set goals.

Yep. Dropped 65 pounds in 6 months. It's called eating at maintenance and then training for running half marathons. Essentially you burn 2-3 pounds a week with activity and causes the weight loss.

You will get weak I guarantee it. No longer could I do 400 pound deadlifts or bench over 250 when I was doing that much cardio.

A mile jogged is around 120 calories. Figure out a way to burn 7000 a week or 1000 every day and that's 2 pounds a week if you don't bullshit yourself diet or workout wise...
