Dr. Spaceman's Training Log

[Dr.Spaceman]

Hi everyone,

I'm a hobbyist and compete in strongman comps a few times a year for fun. I'm looking to turn into much more of an all-around athlete and substantially reduce my body fat. Current bodyweight is around 275 lbs, looking to be 210-220, but primary thing is to do it gradually and sustainably (I've lost ~70 lbs over the last four years).

I just came across TB a few weeks ago and devoured both TB I and II multiple times. I have been running Base Building for the last couple of weeks and have been enjoying it more than I thought, but I can't wait to lift a heavy bar again. Planning on running Fighter for the least three weeks before testing maxes and beginning a 12-week Operator+Black block. Will see how that goes, but I'm thinking I'm really going to like it.

Today will be a 3x15 SE circuit of:
-Push-ups
-Inverted rows
-KB Goblet Squats
-KB Swings
-Lying leg raises

After an unplanned few days off due to norovirus:

Started week 6 of base building. Running Fighter:

Squat - 4 x 5 @ 205 lbs.
OHP - 4 x 5 @ 100 lbs. (this felt way heavier than expected. Perhaps because of the 5 weeks of endurance training or the week of being sick or both; reduced the max I'm calculating off of for the rest of BB.)
Inverted Rows - 4 x 5
