This my 4x lifting is usually M-Th, had to be Tu-Fri this week cause of work on Monday. Me spending the night at hers cut out one of those days.

Only way to make it up is if get in a Sunday session. Then run another Tue-Fri before going back to M-Th

Either that or I skip soccer on Saturday….:francis:

Might just have to run a Sunday session.

@You know damn well what you should do but I already know you ain't finna skip no damn soccer game. :francis:

Circumstances changed.

Lost 11lbs in the past 30 days by doing cardio for 3 hours some days, some intermittent fasting and eating right :scust: went from 201 to 190

Highest I was, was 206.

Is that how yall lose weight? I'll probably lose another 10-15 get down to smeggle levels 15-17% BF then get my strength back probably a 5 x 5 routine.

All I've been doing is back and legs 3 times a week with cardio in between.

Unfortunately you will have to do cardio and try some carb backloading or manipulating your macros.

Tuesday and Thursday do some cardio on the weekend do some hiit and some isolation movements bis tris calves abs forearms

MWF do full body

Monday go heavy

Wednesday volume

Friday high intensity/ volume get a pump

15 miles a day sounds good. I did more treadmill and jump rope type of work.

To be honest most programs are "good" but it matters your intensity and effort. I don't care what weight you are don't go to the gym p*ssy footing and talking to everyone in between your sets. Get in , focus and get out.


Full body I'd do

Pull Ups 7 sets till failure

Rows 4 X 8-10

Deadlifts 3 X 5

Squats 3 X 10

RDLs 4 X 12

Leg Curls 6 X 12

Leg Extension 4 X 12

OHP 4 X 8

Incline Bench Press 4 X 8

Id save
Tricep overhead Extensions
Preacher Curls
Farmers walks
Waiters walks
And trap work for the weekend

Keep your intensity high

Are you hitting your protein macro? Do you even know what that target is? :usure: Can you afford it? Prices are up rn like a motherfukker. :francis:

Tbh, if your goal is just losing weight protein can help but still falls in that last 5% of difference category. Unless your other 95% is straight or you're a freak beast (you aren't), some protein #Powder isn't gonna make or break you.

If you're doing that much 'cardio' and still :flabbynsick: , you're overshooting your calories AND your metabolism is slow af. :gucci:

Post up that diet. :birdman:

I would actually disregard both of these posts ^, especially since ole buddy @BornStar didn't post a workout program, he just posted some exercises with sets and reps. No loading protocols, no weight/volume progression, no individual variability/substitutions was mentioned, nothing.


That collection of exercises is redundant, poorly selected, and poorly ordered. The fukk you need DLs, RDLs, and leg curls on the same for? Why you got a gym noob running programs offa JEF hitting 40+ sets a workout with additional isolations on the weekend and cardio erryday? So many questions. :mindblown:
