I've been diligent in my attempts to go to the gym, stick with a routine and have seen some progress.
Mid Jan i weighed in at 133.4kg last week i was 126.3kg, didnt see any movement for the first month. Ive also had an ankle injury (torn ligament) and physio advised me not to work lower body so currently 3x a week upper body.
My routine is limited to machines/cables as they tend to be clear, free weights section is mobbed in the small gym I use. I have a basic set at home i could use outside of main routine (only up to 40kg atm)
Current routine: 2/2 across week
Upper:
Lat Pulldown (75kg 4x8 different variations)
Seated row (67.5kg 3x8)
Incline chest press (67.5kg, 3x8)
Bicep Curl (cable) (20kg, 3x8)
Tricep pushdown (cable) (25kg, 3x8)
Cable crossover (25kg, 3x8)
Lower:
Leg press (150-200kg, 3x8)
Leg extension (67.5kg, 3x8)
Seated leg curl (101.25kg, 3x8)
Hip extension (20kg, 3x8)
Cardio - 20-30min bike
At my stage (beginner) and weights etc should I be looking to break it down more do more focused routine. Im open to 5days a week etc
My goal is to drop my weight to the 95-105kg range whilst building muscle mass. I will be actively playing rugby next season so looking to grow in that direction (centre)
