So I decided I'll give this fitness log a shot. For the next 9 weeks n I'll see from there. Why 9 weeks? No reason at all, it's just a decent length of time, and takes me right up to the end of October.
For the last year or so, i've started eating well and going to the gym regularly. That said, I'm not in great shape ATM but a lot better than I was a few years ago. I still have plenty of weight on the midsection I'd like to shift.*
Because I've no singular event or target, I've decided to set a goal in a number of areas, basically my weight, various weight excercises and cardio excercise times. My current list of targets is below, if anyone thinks of any others I'll add them in. I chose the weights for each just from bodyweight x1, x1.25 and x1.5. As i'm currently closer with deadlift and squat, I'm aiming for a full set of 8 reps. The targets for the weights aren't paticularly high, but I'm still pretty new to weight training and being on a calorie deficit won't make gains easy.
Get my weight down to 76kg (12 stone)
Run 4k in 18 mins
Row 3k in 12mins
Deadlift - 120kg for 8 reps
Squat - 100kg for 8 reps
Bench press - 80kg for 3 reps
Some I'll hit easier or earlier than others, bodyweight will be the hardest and I'll need the full 9 weeks to make it.
Last I checked (2 days ago) I was 81.5kg. *
