![]() | New to training Hi, I'm Matt, I started training just before new years. I looked at BMI information, which scared me - saying i was obese! so i decided to get my body fat checked (i know i was tubby, with a gut and a half, but could never really get motivated to shift it). I was 33.5%fat, more than double what they said was healthy. i also weighed 15.5st. I'm 5'10". My diet has changed a lot, no beer, no chocolate and basically trying to eat a much cleaner diet. a typical day now is: breakfast 1x wholegrain toast with marmite, scrambled egg with 4/5egg whites Lunch Sweet potato jacket with lowfat cheese, tuna and tomatoes snack low fat muller yogurt dinner griddled chicken breast, salad, brown rice, sometimes broccoli too I don't have anything pre or post workout, but have just ordered whey protein, which i plan to take after workout, between breakfast and lunch and one a while after dinner. Is this a good plan? I started doing monday, tuesday thursday and friday: 20 mins on bikes, 20 mins weights (all over body), 20 mins bikes. This week i'v changed my routine, I'm planning: Monday: bike 10 mins bench 3sets 6-8 military press 3 sets 6-8 dips bike 10mins tuesday: running 20 mins, abs bike 20 mins wednesday: Squats 3 sets 6-8 straight leg deadlifts 3 sets 6-8 weighted lunges thurs: same as tuesday Fri: Bike 10 mins Deadlifts 3sets 6-8 bent over rows 3sets 6-8 Lat pull-downs 3sets 6-8 Bike 10 Mins I'v also been pushing the weights up so i can only just manage all the reps. I'm i going to be overtraining? i want to get the bodyfat down to 10% or so. I realsise ii won't be growing a lot in terms of muscle yet. But when i reach 10% i'll start bulking. So far in just over three weeks i'v lost 10lb and bodyfat is down to 28%. Thanks! any suggestions would be great, Matt |
