My Plan- Good Or bad? your thoughts

raven56706

Ok here are my details of what i will begin this weekend. Im beginning this weekend as i had surgery and had to lay off the weights for a bit:

Height: 5'8
Weight : 191
Male
Work a desk job but i work out 5- 6 days a week

Workouts- 6 hours on the Peloton Bike.

This weights program. Will only do the upper body 3 times and the 1 legs. On weight days, it will be 20 minutes on the bike after weights:

Got my TDEE cutting number from: https://tdeecalculator.net/

My goal is to trim the fat. Lbs off is cool but clothes size is the big plus.

Thoughts and maybe tweaks would be great to hear.

Why would you take a balanced program and unbalance it to remove some leg work? The exercises mentioned, particularly those that are for the legs, will help your core more. When you work with enough load, exercises like the goblet squat will force you to brace your core while doing them. Also, better leg strength will absolutely help your performance on your Peloton.

What TDEE did you come up with (i.e. what kind of deficit)? And what are your goals?

i've used that program - don't pull the leg stuff out - just do the circuit - it takes me maybe 45min at the most

The balance is that do to a condition with my prostate, i have to be careful on the leg workouts. Especially squats. Mind you i will tweak it if i feel fine but this is just initial.

This is from my TDEE calculator:
"These macronutrient values reflect your cutting calories of 2,237 calories per day, which is a 500 calorie per day deficit from your maintenance of 2,737 calories per day."
