tiktokman Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I used to lift regularly but injured my shoulder in March of 2012 and it took almost a year for it to get to the point that I could lift heavy stuff again. It didn't help that we had a new baby in March of 2012 and I didn't do my prescribed at home rehab. Add in crappy sleep schedule and diet and you get a fat tiktokman.I'm 41 years old, 6' tall. I started this year at 213 lbs. I use the myfitnesspal app on my iphone (started January 5th) to track my calories and started lifting again in February. My target is to lift 3 days a week in the early morning. Typical workout (with olympic free weights) -Bench - 5x5 (2 warm up sets, 3 work sets)Sqaut - 3x8Deadlift - 3x5Chin ups - As many as I can do in a row until I get to 10. Once I get to where I can do 10 in a row I'll up the count to 20. I'm currently at 7. Pretty sure I could do more if I weren't doing them after benches and squats/deads.Miscellaneous dumbbell work as time allowsWhen I started the weight was fairly light so I'd do squats and deads on the same day. Now that they've gotten heavier I squat Monday and Friday, deadlift on Wednesday.I've now started doing some body-weight circuits 3 times a week as well. My wife wanted to start working out again so I do that with her MWF after the kids are in bed. As of yesterday I'm down 23 lbs on the year, weighed in at 190. My target weight is 185 but I may re-access that when get there and try for 180. After I lose the fat I want I'm going to start a bulk and try and pack on some more muscle. That should be fun.
