Official WF Health/Workout Thread 2.0

On rows I can do 160 like 15 times. On pulldowns it's somewhere around there.

a lot of abs is about diet. getting to a low enough body fat to see your abs will require some level of dieting - and by that I don't mean not eating a lot, just eating the right things.

you could do endless cardio but if you're eating the same things it's going to be uphill.

I just went through this whole thing and went from probably 15% body fat to 10% now. some people have to get lower than that for their abs to show but i got lucky.

Didn’t know this forum had a health thread, nice.
When I met up with randoms trying to purchase the AEW figures at Walmart in August I noticed a pattern, we were all neckbeards that were overweight. Since that day I have been pushing to get back in shape. I have increased my move goal on my apple watch from 600 to 1270 calories per day now in September. I’m down 20 pounds, my goal is to be around 175 and healthy. I’m currently about 280, starting weight 304. I walk at least 5 miles a day and just started to light jog a bit. I also love basketball and want to be healthy enough to run up and down the court again. I had Chinese food last night for the first time in about a month and boy do I regret that. Woke up lazy with heartburn and my stomach was hurting. Damn you GENERAL TSO! Well I just knocked out 6 miles and feel a bit better but need to kick the cravings for crap food. Any tips would be wonderful from you guys. I know it’s not a sprint, but a marathon but sometimes you tend to forget that in the now. Good luck to everyone that wishes to do better.


Edit: I’ve been splitting my meals into 3 and sticking to fruit, green tea, pasta with no meat. Then for quick meals I got a few frozen meals (baked chicken with mashed, and stuffed peppers with white rice). I also have a multivitamin multi mineral drink everyday i take a shot of since my calorie intake is about 600-900 a day. Not to mention almost a gallon of water a day, that’s very important to mention.

Edit 2: If your a food addict and smoke 🌳, stop it. OR if you must do it outside before a workout! Not when your home chilling because you will succumb to the GENERAL or whatever your mind desires lol, at least for me.

I appreciate the feedback, I will update before end of year.

I was at 6ft and 222 lbs I started bulking when I graduated the Correction Officer Academy 6 months ago. I was at 205 when I started. I started shredding week ago to lean out my mass. I gained some belly fat with the gain in muscle, but I been back to lifting 3 times week and doing atleast 1 intense cardio session followed by 2 light cardio sessions a week. Also reduced my caloric intake from 2,300 to 1,700 gradually. I’ll be ideally where I want to be body fat wise most likely by Christmas or less. We’ll see what this shred does for me.

keep it up!

going for 500lb on hack squat next leg day (Monday). will be a bigtime pr and achievement for myself, considering where I started from and the lower back injury I have. at 180lb dry, it's a decent feat.

to be honest I haven't ventured too far with real squats as I was worried about the systemic pressure being too compressive. now that I've strengthened up decently I'd be confident doing moderate weight for 10-12 rep sets and go from there.

so those kinds of minimal weight fluctuations are totally natural and have to do with how much sodium, water, glycogen etc your body is holding.

for your wrestling physique goal, is it a lean and muscular look you're going for?

if so, weight training, diet, and some cardio are your keys to success. if you need any help, myself and some others here can give you some pointers. best of luck in your wrestling preparation!
