New year, new goals !

I am not participating in the T-transformation Challenge this year, but I intend to do my personal challenge : lose about 10kg for June.

I started to track my food (never done before) and I started a FullBody 3x / week.

Here is the first day :

To improve my progress monitoring, I received for Christmas a “smart” scale and a connected watch.

Scale : Balance Wi-Fi avec composition corporelle et santé cardiovasculaire - Body Cardio | Withings

Watch : Montre connectée hybride - Steel HR | Withings

With this devices I can follow :

  • weight
  • number of steps
  • cardiac frequency
  • quality of sleep

BW = 93.6kg

Weighted Chin ups : 5-5-5-4x6kg - (I did 5 reps in the last set but it was awful)

Not such a bad session despite a rough night … (Sleep score = 45/100)

I got a fitbit watch in march 19 , primarily to monitor my steps and sleep.

Big eye opener, as even if you go to bed at 2100 and wake 0500 , that very rarely equates to 8 hrs. I get 5-6 hours of good sleep in that time at best.

@tj55 I don’t know the Fitbit interface, but the Health Mate interface is like this (for the sleep detail)

looks almost identical , i can’t read French? but i’m guessing the 4 different colors represent , light sleep, deep sleep, Rapid eye movement sleep and awake

Durée = Duration
Profondeur = sleep depth
Régularité = sleep time and regular bedtime
Interruptions = number of awakening during sleep

Bar graph :
Light blue = light sleep
dark blue = deep sleep
Grey = awake

-0.57kg last week, I aim for about -0.45kg/week, so it’s perfect !

No cardio last week but I increased my footsteps (back on a normal schedule after the holidays).

I did drop the weights on the push exercises due to my shoulder pain felt on Tuesday. And today no pain at all. I will go up slowly to limit the risks.

Seated Leg Curl : 15-15-15x45kg
Leg Extension : 13-13-15x36kg

Deadskull : 12-12-12x30kg

The pain felt during the hack squat resulted in a lumbago… One week work stoppage, zero training, all perfect…

The last two weeks recap :

Week 3

Week 4

Down to an average weight of 93.1kg (1.34kg down since 1st january) :+1:

I think that this injury reinforces the idea of changing things in my training.

I want to focus a little more on the “yoke” area to look a bit more muscular.
(And if possible improve my arms)
Here is the training :

Pull :
Pullover 3x12-15
Deadlift 3x8-12 ?
Pulldown 3x8-12
Seated (chest supported) row 3x8-12
Shrug 3x15-20
+Triceps

Push :
Rear delt cable 3x12-15
Incline CG bench press 3x8-12?
High incline DB Press 3x8-12
Upright row 3x12-15
Lateral raise (DB or Y cable Raise) 3x15-20
+Biceps

Legs :
Leg curl 3x12-15
Leg Extension 3x12-15
Hack Squat or Leg Press 3x12-15
RDL 3x12-15
Adductors 3x15-20
+Calf

Not sure yet about the set and reps for the deadlift and the CG incline BP.
Maybe training in higher rep range will be beneficial??

I went on a few logs and : What did you do to have those big arms @TrainForPain ???
