Awesome.
On your off days you’re gonna do some sprints then.
Make sure you’re warmed up. Then go for 5 total sprints, each 10 sec. These are to be 100% intensity and try to accelerate throughout the sprint. Rest 2-5 min between sprints.
Keep diet as is. [/quote]
I’ll start Tuesday.

It was my honest assessment and I only commented because people around here love to engage in circle jerking, especially when a female is involved. I don’t like that since it only holds people back in the end.
To me it looks like the main difference comes from different camera distances (can make a massive difference).
Of course, I can be wrong but I think it is in line with your fat loss of 3lbs. In my experience spotting 3lbs difference is not easy.
But I got the message and leave this thread to the cheerleaders.

I think this is more of a re- comp than a strict diet. I think she has probably built several pounds of muscle so that net loss of 3 pounds is misleading. I mean, did you look at her routine? No cardio. It’s not like she is running and cycling. (Previously)
But I do think guys tend to be more encouraging/supportive of females. I will give you that.

I can’t believe they are still giving this guy the time of day.
Anyways, did my sprints…did a couple extra for Spidey :).
I have mad energy.
Have a good day!
Please don’t do any extra sprints. If you are doing them as intended, 5 is plenty. These are ALL OUT. And you should be accelerating throughout.
In order for me to make the proper adjustments week to week, I’d like you to stick to what’s written so there’s no miscommunication on what you’re actually doing.
It was just a poke at spidey…

Damn interwebbenz! Can’t always tell when people are goofin’ around.
How did your first day of high intensity cardio go by the way?
Was your energy good? Were you hungrier afterwards?

It’s like lost in translation. No biggie.
Cardio went well- I felt strong! Today I’m sore and loving it! And you know I’m starving! I’m a fat kid!
I want to make sure you think the weight I’m using is on point. I’m using what I think to be the heaviest possible considering the reps.
Workout B (lower)
*90-120 sec rest between all sets/supersets
A: Deadlift: 6 sets of 3 (explosive, don’t bounce reps) …155#
B: Front Squat: 4 sets of 4-8 …70# (8 rep- ill move up to 75 at 4 reps today)
C1: DB stiff-leg RDLs: 3 sets of 15 …30# dbs
C2: Reverse lunges: 3 sets of 15 (per leg, alternating legs on these) …17.5#
D1: Standing calf raises: 3 sets of 12 w/ 1 sec full stretch at bottom, and 1 sec full squeeze at top …30#
D2: Seated calf raises: 3 sets of 20-30 …95# (getting to 15 kills me)
E: Cable woodchop: 3 sets of 12 per side…55#
Obviously 155 deadlift isn’t my max… Am I wrong to consider these work outs more cardio based and not maxing out and building muscle?

Not Jake, but doubtful these are ‘cardio’. Things like DL’s all reps should be explosive, but taxing in muscular sense, not just a endurance/fatigue sense. Front Squats, first set should be a solid 8 reps, but the last set or two should be really pushing your limits, not cardiovascular wise (though that will happen with any big movement for reps) but strength wise.

The numbers you are working with are good.
Workouts A and B, you should be focusing on progressing on the weight a little bit every few weeks or so. Workout C is the only day I’d really consider “cardio,” though I hate to call it that. It’s more about improving your work capacity and metabolic conditioning…in laymen terms, we’re getting your ass in shape! Getting you an athletic feel and look without actually playing a sport…lol.
We’re trying to do everything all at once here…blast fat, improve muscular endurance, improve strength.
We also don’t have to stick to same workouts if you’re bored. Is this your fourth week with these workout? At the end of the week, we could switch up training a bit if you’d like. Then you can keep that template until your july 4 target day.

If you up to making more workouts then I am in!
Upper body is for sure starting to look athletic and I’m so excited about it! My thighs and butt are coming along…slowlllly.
Ok. Do you like the upper/lower/full body template? Is switching up exercises enough for ya?
Whatever you think. I think it works well.
The thing about this style of workouts is that they can get stale really fast. Progress comes in baby steps because they’re so focused on conditioning, so I think its good to change things up every 4-6 weeks.
We’ll get you set up with some new exercises after your next update. A few staples like DB press, deadlifts, squats will still be there, but the other stuff will be slightly different.
Why don’t you give me a list of your favorite exercises?
