I think back training is my favourite thing! Annihilated my back because feeling uber guilty because after such a cheaty cheat day i bounced up to 224lbs. Almost certainly just water weight etc but still.
Ze workout:
Straight Arm Pulldowns - 2 warm up sets very light strong contraction of lats, 8 reps at ‘4’ (doesnt have how heavy it is on the lat pulldown is so…, 8 reps at ‘5’, 8 reps at 5.
Chin Ups - 3 sets of 8 with bodyweight, 1 x 6 with 10kg attached.
-Stretched lats- lats were now pretty fried tbh.
Bent over BB Rows - 3 sets of 10 @ 60, 70, 60
Dead Stop Rows - 3 sets of 8 at 30kgs
Rack Pulls - 4 x 10 @ 140.
DB Shrugs - 4 x 10 with 50 kg dbs
Did a few sets of heavy lat pulldown for the pump then finished with 30 mins cardio.
We have a similar body type (except you have a foot on me…-- I’m a former Fat boy with bad insulin sensitivity. Fat goes to my stomach n no where else haha)
Good progress so far!
Check out my log if you wish–doing HP Mass for at least 2 cycles, possibly longer is the gains keep going.

Hi, I’m NewAdventure and I’m a skinny fat guy.
First let me get off on the right foot. I am new to all of this and I am here to learn and I hope you guys can teach me!
So where am I at right now? Well I just recently stopped playing Rugby, I guess for you guys over in the US that’s vaguely similar to NFL - but let’s not start that debate. I just couldn’t deal with always spending a Saturday night sat in a hospital waiting room.
I feel your pain with this. My season finished last week and I was glad to see the back of it.
Good work on the progress. Can definitely see a big improvement from first photo to the last.

Appreciate the encouragement! Been off the track a bit this week with my nutrition - too much socialising, feel guilty. Back to it now, and should only take 3 days to get back to where I was so all good.
Most of my fat seems to be stored in my lower back. But as I diet I can pinch less and less so thing are moving in the right direction and thats all the motivation I need. Just a case of time.

Its a great sport most of the time. Season is far too long IMO unless you are a full time professional.
Gym was closed so couldnt get in to do the complexes. So, instead I did a bodyweight circuit at home - was pretty touch actually. Included Squats, lunges, press ups, planks, jumping jacks, hand walkouts and mountain climbers.
Straight arm pulldowns - 2 x warm up, No.4 x 12, No5 x 12, No.6 x 9 PR
Chins - BW x 12, 10kg x 6 then 5 BW, 10kg x 5 then x 4 BW.
-Lat Stretch-
Bent Over Rows - 60 x 10, 70 x 8, 70 x 10 - better than last week.
Dead Stop Rows - 30 x 10, 40 x 8, 40 x 10 PR
Rack Pulls - 140 x 10, 140 2 chains x 9, x 9, x 4
BB Shrugs (Heavy DBs were being used) - 140 x 10, 140 x 9, 100 x 10 hold at top, 100 x 10 hold at top.
Tomorrow is shoulders and triceps
Should add that my bodyweight came back down after the full day fast from 224 ->217 lol. Crazy. Will weigh tomorrow morning, hoping for a 216 but who knows.
Hi Guys, long time since i’ve updated. Basically had final exams / life which knocked me off track. /excuses.
So basically I am now roughly back to where I was pre exams and have two weeks before holiday which will likely take me back a few more steps before I can push on for the foreseeable future. But very confident once I am back leanness is not far away. Might try this Rapid Fat Loss some of you guys speak about on return from holiday to get back to normal quick.
