Age: 27

Height: 5’8”

Reason why I started losing weight: https://www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/a19756824/weight-loss-transformation-rollercoaster/

Tl;dr: went to six flags with coworkers, was too big for seatbelt to close on rollercoaster so was turned away(3 times, infront of coworkers) so I did something about it.

Started September 2016, 3 days a week, no cardio, full body workouts; concentrated more on lifting then eating habits for the first 3 months.

January 2017: reached -50lbs lost started avoiding excessive carbs and started taking whey protein

March-May 2017: plateaued; couldn’t lose anymore weight.

May 2017: started light jogging after lifting (1/2mile-1mile)

June 2017: -60lbs lost

July 2017: -70lbs lost. Started doing Intermittent Fasting 16/8 and 2x a week bro split; isolation workouts (see below)

Aug 2017: -80lbs lost

September 2017: -90lbs lost

November 2017: -100lbs lost

February 2018: -110lbs lost

September 2018: -115lbs lost

October 2018: Ran my first Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) Time: 2:26.37 pace: 11:11

CW: 205lbs

GW: 200-190lbs (visible 6 pack)

Current routine:

“Bro-split” Mondays- Arms/Chest Tuesday- Back/shoulders Wednesday- Legs/core Thursday- Arms/chest Friday- Off / cheat day Saturday- back/ shoulders Sunday- legs/core

I do 3 sets of 10 at the most weight I can complete; while still maintaining good form (form>weight) and NOT hitting failure. And slowly added weight when it became easier.

I try to hit each muscle 2x a week giving them 48hrs rest (which is easier to do if you DONT hit failure)

And i do a light jog focusing more on distance and not stopping then speed.

Jog- 2.5miles (tried 5 miles a day but couldn’t ldnt keep it up). After every workout.

Also I do Intermittent Fasting ( 20 hour fast, 4 hour eating window)

As of Aug 2018 I have implemented Keto into my routine along with IF.

I work out and jog entirely fasted to optimize fat burn.

Trying to get to 15% Body fat!
