    Goal: Join 1000 club by End of summer(July/August)

    Current status: Experience beginner relatively unconditioned-Recent graduate of C25K

    Background: Primarily BW/Kettlebell programming. Did Pavel's Program for about 2 years, and was closing in on "Program minimum"/Simple when a weakness in my hinge patterning emerged complicated by going too heavy following a short period(4-6 weeks) of detraining. PRs from previous attempt B:215 S:350 D:350(2015ish)

    Assets: Work Gym(2 days a week/Probably T/Th) Home Kettlebell setup Pairs 16/24/28/32.


    Tentative Plan: 4 months of A/B program(Recommendations solicited PLEASE) 2 days a week supplemented with BW and Kettlebell routine(probably Pavel's) Saturday and Sunday. Also planning to run 2-3 days a week Most likely Wednesday, Friday, Sunday

    I know it's a relatively simple goal, and basic timeline. 1000 club is really just a bucket list item, and I'm going to do the full 4 months May, June, July, August regardless when I join the club.

    So slings and arrows Please. Which beginner AB program makes the most sense in this context.

    I know there are inefficiencies, by all means throw stones, but understand that they probably aren't negotiable. Planning to start in the next few weeks. Planning to check PRs for Programming purposes tomorrow. And will start Kettlebell work this weekend.

    Diet will probably be targeting maintenance/recomp. Currently 230ish. Goal weight range is 220-235. So there may be a slight cut.

    Wow man! You were so rude to me in that running thread about how inexperienced I was at working out and training. After reading your stats, you should seriously think before you speak. I’m not going to say anything rude, however I will say that you clearly don’t know as much as you think you do.

    You gave bad advice. I've been running longer than you've been alive.

    You're inexperienced. Get over it.

    Oh, and if you want to measure kitten... that's me in the profile picture. At 260 lbs

    The best way to increase running endurance is to simply run until you possibly can’t (think failure). Then walk until you catch your breath and repeat. Do it at least 3 times a week and you will notice massive improvements



    This is actually a great way to cause running injuries and ensure that you hate running and never take it up again.



    C25K and running slowly and short of failure is a much better way to learn to love running.

    I’m a college athlete and I’m pretty fit. I don’t know who said working out/ running is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, but they clearly don’t do it correctly. Performance>enjoyment


    That's a cool story bro, but when you enter the real world, and have real responsibilities, you'll stop doing things that you don't have to do that aren't fun.



    You'll probably be back in 8 years twice the man you are today... all of it fat.

    Lol speak for yourself. You need to read up on what working out is. Working out literally tears and breaks down muscle fibers which get repaired and made stronger to compensate for the stress. If you don’t push yourself, you will never improve. Get upset all you want, that doesn’t change facts.

    You need to read up on the difference between working out and training. Especially as it relates to world class and professional athletes. Pain=Pain. Properly programmed progressive overload/work doesn't have to hurt... and it shouldn't.
