Gotcha. Focusing on one thing will have some carryover to other stuff you’re looking to get done. But by having just one target to aim at (for now), it helps get the rest of the plan in place.
For training, a simple, basic strength-focused program like 5/3/1 should get you on track:
After a month of so, you could begin Waterbury’s PLP Challenge to get right back into bodyweight work:
If you follow it exactly as-written, it should be fine to do everyday (like it says) in addition to your regular lifting.
For nutrition, this article is a pretty simple, step by step guide to figuring out a fat loss diet:
It’s nothing drastic and it should still give you plenty of fuel to see strength gains. Be sure to have a workout shake like Surge Recovery or Anaconda when you train, though.
I forgot to ask earlier, why are you also focused on avoiding hypertrophy? Do you have some reason to stay under a certain bodyweight? Or is it just that you’re not trying to “look like a bodybuilder” or whatever? Everyone’s goal are their own thing, and that’s fine, but I’m just trying to understand what’s what.
I have no idea what this means. Are you talking like a deadlift? Or a dumbbell chest press (using two 25-pound dumbbells) for a few reps? What do you mean “adding the weight of the actual bench”? I’m baffled. Baffled, I say.
