CJ the (soon-to-be) Mighty's Training Log


Recommended Posts

A bit about myself, I am a nerdy math teacher and football coach who bought his first home and is getting married to his best friend this year.  In the past year and a half, I have lost about 80 lbs, but I still have a way to go.  Last year. while researching how to measure body fat percentage, I ran across Nerd Fitness and I was immediately hooked on their message.  After completing a couple of challenges early in the year, I have sorta feel on my face the last month or so in terms of diet and exercise.  I am going to use this training log to chart my workouts, calories, weight, weekly measurements and body fat calculations.

 

Long Term Goal:  Get below 15% bodyfat - which probably involves losing 100 lbs.  Once I reach that goal, I would like to get involved in some sort of strength/athletic activity, right now I am thinking about Strongman type training, but I will research more options as I get closer to that goal.

 

Plan: I will be working out 6 days per week.  3 days of following the Greyskull LP program (I will spell out the routines more as I do them).  3 days of moderate cardio work on the elliptical or tread mill.  I will be charting my calories on Lose It! with a calorie setting of losing 2 lbs per week.

Just a quick thumbs up, did my first GreySkull set today and was surfing here to see who else is starting their journey!  Similar goals, I am at 33-34% body fat, would like to get under 15%.

Nice workout!  Just got two in so far myself, was a bit worried it was not a "whole body" workout but I can feel it!  Your warm up numbers are my actual sets!!  But with progression we will all get stronger.

Thanks.

Just a few months ago those were my sets as well.  I'm sure that you will soon be saying the same thing.
