Start Point — 10th Nov 2026 / Weight: 121kg Really p****d off about that as I've put on 2 kg in the last few months and seeing as I train/do something most days (and do eat pretty healthy)...that came as quite a shock. I know there are NSV's (non-scale victories), and I do feel them (clothing mainly), but I seriously need to get my weight down. Not least because of my high blood pressure, but also because I'm in the IKO super-heavyweight category (>102 kg), and by the time I compete in the February 2026 snatch competition, which I've already signed up for, my goal is to be in the heavyweight category (93 - 102 kg). I'll be 61 next month so my eyes are on 12 kg snatches in the 'Legends' category. My main weakness is I like my beer. Lots of it. And I've already committed to no beer until Christmas. Anyhoo, we are where we are and there's no-one else to blame except me, so... onwards and upwards. This morning, like most of my weekdays, started at 0515, and if it's not raining, I usually go outside and do 'something'. (FYI: years ago, when I worked on rigs, I fell headfirst through a hole in the deck onto a steel deck 10' below and compressed my spine (plus other injuries), and it sure lets me know when it really doesn't want to play.) So, this morning, I did: - 10 minutes with a 17 mm (840 gram) flow rope: race & chase, matador, and dragon rolls -- the rope flow REALLY helps loosen the shoulders and spine. Soooo good! - 2 x 5 minutes steel club flows involving hip hinge to rack, pullover, front press, front swipe, back swipe and then repeat--(50 bpm cadence with 2 x 2 kg clubs). 2 minutes rest between sets. - 5 x 20 2H Swings with a 24 kg kettlebell. - 2 x goblet squats with a 24 kg kettlebell (my lower back told me it didn't want to do anymore. :D) This evening, I plan on doing a snatch session. Will wait to see how the day pans out to see if that's still on. Thanks for reading. 😄

I finally got to the gym today! We had a routine in Australia, gym EVERY day, focused on strength. For the past 3 months or more, our focus has been purely on strength. I beat my Strict Press PB and got the 36kg up, with the leg press, I got 300kg for 6 reps, and still had more in the tank, also a PB. But I suffered severely when it came to feeling like I could handle anything. In fact, in the workshop I ran a couple of days ago, I nearly passed out, never got that close to passing out. I feel weak because of it, as I usually can handle the heat, I can handle being uncomfortable, no problems with cardio. Anyway, I haven't done a darn thing other than work since I started. I started at 89.1; my belly is bigger now than when we started. But I lost 4.5 kilos! And that's with shoes on and not in the morning. Today, we finally found a good gym, got most of the other things done that we had to do when we arrived. So, now, I am focused on just increasing my cardio. I would love to keep up one part of the strength training, which is the strict press, but they do not have kettlebells over 20kg. For the next 2 weeks, I will stick to a simple routine of hang clean, strict press, and squat 10 reps. Rest as required. other side, then decrease the rest period as I progress. When I did my regular workouts, things like XERXES, I didn't think much of it, but now those workouts scare me. I NEED to get back to where that was the norm. I hope everyone else is making progress. Oh, and off alcohol. Still sticking to OMAD, which is the regular thing.

I thought I'm going to find my 1R Max easily, but it's much more than I expected. Today I did six sets of Goblet Squat, kb 8-16kg. The last one was very tough. Next I will have to change double rack squats, but I'm gonna do these couple of times.

Re-posted here so I can find it every time. Exercises will be Prometheus, that's a 6 week training program. Also steps to 8,500 steps per day, or 30 US miles per week. Starting at (U.S. measurements), weight 168.2 lbs. (76.3 kg) at 27% body fat. Start counting calories per day. And no binging cooking and cakes!
