I’m not new to the site but I haven’t kept a log online in years. I’m just getting back into training and figured I’d keep one here and post videos, if possible, to keep me honest.
I’m 30 years old, and a skinny fat 195 pound bastard. I’m not strong and my conditioning level is shit. I did some one rep maxes and wrote out the first month’s training with 90% of those for my training max and the weights were to heavy, so I dialed it back to numbers that I knew I could hit easily and took 90% of that.
Training maxes are as follows
deadlift:315
OHP: 115
squats:275
bench press:185
I’d like to do some form of conditioning 5-6 days a week, 2-3 days hard and 2-3 days light, for no other reason but to improve health and drop some fat. I will most likely walk with a weighted vest and do sprints to accomplish this. If I find that this is affecting my time in the weight room, it will be dialed back.
Nutrition is something I suck at. I tend to under eat because I generally just don’t require much to get through the day. If I wasn’t training, I could eat twice a day with a small snack and do just fine. I’m going to strive for 4 meals a day including eggs, potatoes, rice, beans, ground turkey or beef, peanut butter and jelly for a snack, milk, etc.
I don’t have any specific goals in mind as of now. I am going to run the program with bodyweight assistance until the end of the year and reassess from there.

I was going to do some hanging leg raises for abs but the bar I have is too low. It’s 6.5 feet up and my feet hit the floor.

You have a great home gym setup.
Don’t forget to rotate Pantera albums to avoid accommodation!

I’m a simple man. I rotate between slayer, hatebreed, and pantera…not much else… I need to find new music but I fear change.

didn’t want to train today. forced myself to anyway. Iv’e had a shit week. Combine that with lack of sleep and more stress than usual and it’s made my desire to train very low. Today was benh press to make up for not doing it yesterday.

I’m going to add in either more assistance or conditioning next cycle starting Tuesday. I want to ease into all of this at the beginning and save the crazy shit for when I have a solid foundation. If I do too much too soon, I will quit like a bitch and start over in January or something.

Not exactly the most impressive assistance addition but I’m taking everything slow. I’ll increase sets/reps as needed later and swap out movements as well. I’d rather start off doing too little than too much.
