Tack's gotta lose some fat, training log

[Poppy]

Hang tight brother

Okay so I’ve been hesitant to go on that scale, knowing I cheated last week. But after a pretty decent fast, no lunch, just about to eat a late dinner. I’m at 189lb 14.2%bf

Pic for progress.

Following up, I’m making more adjustments to my log for the next 20 weeks.

I recently got horse stall mats, so I now feel confident dropping heavy crap on my floor without breaking anything, which has added more workouts. Added ab workouts that are more quantifiable and varying. Things in blue are new workouts.

Been doing adjustments to meals. Considering I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, I’m going to try my hardest to stick to my original target macros 1800 calories, 10-60-30 ratio. Fat being anything less than 10% to be a win.

Sundays, and Wednesdays will be rest days.
Saturday cardio
Everything else, workout.

New log format coming soon.

 

[Poppy]

Get after it brother!

Meals for the day, Sunday is Recovery, so no workout log.
1401 calories, 36g(13%) fat, 168g(60%) carb, 77g(27%) protein

Is that you doing the thing with photos elsewhere?

 

[Tack]

Yep, sure is. Why I’m trying to commit to this daily log thing. Been fighting that weird tick to just stop early in my reps/sets but I was able to get through it till failure. Not that I was trying to, just didn’t complete my full leg sets.

I still have a snack a left over for today in my calorie count.

Edit: In a way you can kinda see when I started hitting mental blocks on my plank rollouts. And I shook myself out of it the rest of the way through.

 

[Poppy]

My opinion…just mine only.

Maybe train abs after legs. Squats etc tax your abs/core tremendously… they’re usually trained after squats.

I personally don’t train abs on Monday… squats on Wednesday.

 

[Tack]

Yeah good tip, I will switch that up next time, and see how things fair.

 

[Poppy]

20 rep squat sets are hard on the body.

 

[Tack]

Oh shoot, that is a typo, they should be 10 reps lol.

 

[Poppy]

Break break. I see…only 10 reps

 

[Tack]

Final adjustment for the day. Decided to do another ab workout, and chugged some protein. I know I previously mentioned I swapped out ab exercises to something more quantifiable. But I miss the high intensity workout I learned from a video. So I will describe it here with a new name, and keep it in my workouts.

Named “Ab Killer”, 45s per exercise followed by 15s break.
DB Russian Twists, SB Boat Hold, DB Side Boat Hold, DB Jack Knife, DB Twisting situps, DB laying leg raises, DB chair situps.
I’ll quantify it based on increased weight, and more sets.

 

[Tack]

Log for today. Looking forward to my day off tomorrow. Not much to be said, just glad to get something on the charts.

 

[Tack]

I needed this day off. Yeah not the healthiest of foods. No I’m not thinking about cheesecake.

 

[Bigmurph6]

[Tack]
