230lbs -> 180lbs

Training Logs
#1

First tracker: 314lbs to 199lbs - #67 by Voluminous

I was on track to actually get to 200lbs by New Year…but wound up on the surgical table 9th Dec for unrelated reasons to the original visits and was off my feet for 2.5 weeks. Been slowly (yet f^king again) re-gaining strength / dropping weight. I swear…2023 owes me a f$king break; enough already!

So…my plan for the 50lb weight loss goes as follows:
Phase 1: 8th Jan - 18th Feb: my own hybrid bastard program.
Phase 2: 19th Feb - 1st April: Re-running “Get Jacked Fast” (Thib’s program for sale on his site)
Phase 3: TBD

Phase 1 Training:

  • The exercises are done in Layer system format. I cycle through the 4 workouts. There is no defined weekday workout. Whilst I regain strength, I go when I feel not completely beat up.
  • The dumbbell swings are ramping up to 1,000 a day (will take awhile); this is why you don’t see any leg days.
  • Cardio is 20,000 steps a day; this can be running / walking etc. but just getting the volume done.

Workout 1: Push Press || Barbell Curl || Dumbbell Swings
Workout 2: CGBP || Lat Pulldown || Dumbbell Swings
Workout 3: Chin Ups || SGHP || Dumbbell Swings
Workout 4: Bench Press || Dumbbell Swings

Phase 1 Nutrition:

This is going to look strange…but as my gym days / swing counts are variable, my food consumption by day differs. Swings have to be +50 from the day before to qualify for Option A or else it’s Option B.

CHIN UPS

Isometric - 3 sets 6 second hold

*2 reps; 7 sets
A :
B : (+assist); +50, +45, +41, +36, +32

– grip is shot from swings. will need to do no swings prior to this day?
– started with wide pull ups, only +4kg diff, so doing three after SGHP is prob not wise either.
– deffo needs changing…entire rep ranges were a disaster

3 sets 90% 2RM; 4-6 reps. Rest 10 seconds between reps

So, having done 1st week; the next wave is below.

  • Swapped some exercises, added a Abs/Hip/Quad mini day to give my upper body a break…without interfering too much with swing goal.
  • Onwards marching towards the 1,000 swings per day.
  • Already basically doing 40,000 steps per day; so not a huge change there.

Workout 1: Layer System (Push Press / Barbell Curl), 600 Dumbbell Swings, 40,000 steps.

Workout 2: Layer System (Wide Grip Lat Pulldown / Seated Row), 650 Dumbbell Swings, 40,000 steps.

Workout 3: Layer System (Snatch Grip High Pull / Bench Press), 700 Dumbbell Swings, 40,000 steps.

Workout 4: Layer System (Hip Adduction/Abduction, Abs, Leg Extension), 750 Dumbbell Swings, 40,000 steps.

Workout 5: Layer System (Chin Ups / Close Grip Bench Press), 800 Dumbbell Swings, 40,000 steps.

Week 2 Training Plan: 22nd - 28th Jan

  • Gym work follows the Layer System
  • Swapped some exercises around; as my shoulders were getting fried.
  • Wide Grip Lat Pulldown may be swapped out in favour of something else. I’ll see how next week goes.
  • As I approach the 1,000 swings per day, moving to EOD. Will ramp up the day count once the sheer volume/day becomes do-able.

Sunday:
Push Press || Lat Pulldown || 750 Swings || Cardio

Monday:
Hip (Ad/Ab)duction || Leg Extension || Cardio

Tuesday:
SGHP || Barbell Curl || 800 Swings || Cardio

Wednesday:
Bench Press || Seated Row || Cardio

Thursday:
Cardio

Friday:
Chin Ups || CGBP || 850 Swings || Cardio

Saturday:
