We have almost identical builds. I'm 6'2", 155 lbs and my gym routine is almost exactly the same except I've been doing more reps with 25-30 lb weights on the military press.

Are your weighted sit-ups your only ab routine?

Lol late reply. Right now my shoulders are 35 pounds. I have switched to 5x5 heavy reps for all routines which do not use body weight.

My deadlifts i realised i have been calculating wrongly. its 105x2+20 ~= 220 pounds.

My weight has increased though, at 75kg. I have been putting on a bit more muscles, but i have a bit more tummy fat now. Anyone has good suggestions to get rid of the belly fat?

As right now my regime is oriented towards strength, and quite minimal cardio =/ I was pumping for muscles,

My diet right now is some bread, turkey and fruit juice for breakfast,

noodles and chicken meat for lunch

and dinner depends on my dinner companions o_o its often quiznos..

1 month update.

Basically down a shirt size comfortably. Have not lost alot of weight, but lost inches in the waist and belly area. Down about 10 pounds last month. My Cardio is about 5x what it was. Doing Kickboxing and MMA classes 3 times a week and walking 2 miles once or twice a week. Was going to be in a grappling tournament last weekend but it got canceled. I am feeling really good and energy has picked up for sure. Diet has changed, but not as much as I would like, so I am going to focus more on that this month and keep up the cardio. I drink about 4 liters of water a day and I can tell that has made a huge difference. Will post again next month. Next tournament is Aug 14th.

Nice work, keep it up. Focus more on your diet and I think you'll see a lot more rewarding losses

I agree, really well done I'm also impressed with your water-drinking discipline, I try to drink a lot but I'm really just too lazy to walk to the water-fountain and fill my bottle

It is really easy for me. I bought a 2 liter water jug and fill it on the way to work, and I make it a point to fill it again when I come home for lunch. I also put a tick mark everytime I finish 2 liters on the bottle. It is like seeing a reward at the end. Want to see how long it take to have the whole bottle colored.

Anyone recommend some more back workouts for me? I mainly do deadlift and shrugs, anything that doesnt require the bench(Which I have but besides doing benching and dumbbell fly, I wouldnt rely on it for other workouts). And I also do a lot of heavy pants with dumbbells, even though its a core workout, I find it efficient as a back exercise too.

I've been doing it for squat deadlift and bench. I can't even imagine trying that for oly lifts or isolation lifts lol. It really does push you to your limit though.

edit: is squat + dl + sprints enough work for my hammys? I was raping them back at school cuz i added RDLs + curls + ball leg curls.
