I realize that this topic is for people into the fetish of being forced to workout but I wanted to ask for actual workout advice. I'm currently trying to get into peak physical condition not just to develop a nice aesthetic look but some real strength. I used to be in much better shape back when I did Judo and other martial arts. However, college has fattened me up and I'm really struggling to get back to that state and improve. While I was physically fit back then I always lacked some level of strength.
Currently, I'm trying to lower body fat percentage and increase my overall strength. My plan is to use 5x5 centered workouts with some basic 4 sets x 8-12 range exercises. I'm currently a week into my training.
Workout A/Push Day
5 x 5 Squats
5 x 5 Bench Press
5 x 5 Overhead Press
4 x 12 Lateral Raises
4 x 12 Face Pulls
Workout B/Pull Day
1 x 5 Deadlift
5 x 5 Bentover Row
4 x 12 Pull Up Related Excercise
4 x12 Bicep Curls
4 x 12 Hamstring Curls
This is my current workout plan. I usually do a low intensity 30 min cardio session (3.5 mph on incline) on rest days between. I was hoping some of you swole dudes could offer me advice, encouragement and or wisdom. I've also put myself at a moderate caloric deficit while eating lots of protein.
