Self Improvement Through Sweat

Core work and some cardio

Trends >> numbers

Lots of lower body and core

Half Get-ups and side planks

More kettlebell and recent cardio work.

Presses, half get-ups, and rows.

Using cardio when I can't use the kettlebell.

Weigh in, with focus on overall trend of fat loss and lean mass gain, small weight and BMI drop overall.

Deadlifts, Split squat step ups, flutter kicks

More complex move sets starting today

Wrapping up week 2 of workout plan

Accountability matters.

Full body workout, back soreness

After 2 weeks, mixed results but almost certainly more accurate than week 1. Compared to start, weight up slightly but all lean gain with fat loss.

Swings, more swings, and the return of cardio!

Why I missed 2 days, and the real world conflicts of work, family, and limited hours.

Return to workouts after a 2 day hiatus. Rows, deadlifts, snatches.

Only 15 minutes but made most of it.

Starting Week 2. More intensity, and ongoing RL obstacles, but overall a good workout.

Weigh in done and daily workout in the books.

After one week of the Dad Bod project, mostly good news. Slight weight increase but body fat dropping and lean mass increasing.

Swings and more swings, making compromises to maximize efficiency of limited time for sleep and exercise.

Talking about basic concepts being used in this initial phase of the Dad Bod project. Initial goals of protein intake 1 g/lb lean mass and keeping total Calories to about 2500/day. Also trying to get high quality protein.

Day 5--early morning cleans and side planks, and facing some adverse RL scheduling.

Brief summary of day 3 workout, Z press and offset suitcase carry. Using stairs instead of flat terrain for suitcase carry.
