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

Last night:

50 min of LSS: 25 min on bike and 25 min running

50 min LSS: 20 min bike + 30 min treadmill

Traveling for business, so I did a bodyweight SE circuit in the hotel room:

3 x 20
-Pushups
-Squats
-Lying Leg Raises
-Good Mornings

LSS for 55 mins, 55 burgers, 55 fries

Last night’s SE (3 x 20):

Push-ups
Inverted rows
Kb swings
Kb goblet squats
Lying leg raises

Week 4 of base building:

60 min LSS: 30 min airbike + 30 min run
