Full body y for fat loss

Ashleebee1995

Hello!

My current weight is 71kg. Ive just started a calorie deficit of 1700. Carbs at 185grams, protein at 110grams and fats at 50grams. I’ve made myself a training program to follow for the next few weeks, has anyone got any recommendations that would make it more beneficial?

Monday - full body and cardio
Tuesday - cardio
Wednesday - full body and cardio
Thursday - cardio
Friday - full body
Saturday- cardio
Sunday - rest

Full Body:
Squats 3x10
Bench press 3x10
Shoulder press 3x10
EZ bar curl 3x10
Deadlift 3x8
Clean and press 3x10
Hanging knee raise 3x10
Assisted pull ups 3x10

Cardio will consist of treadmill/ cross trainer/ stair master. Or for instance on a Saturday a walk.

Fat loss is more about what you're doing in the kitchen so if you're sticking to your calorie goal (including eating at least some of your exercise calorie back you'll lose weight).

Your exercise program should be for cardio health and for maintaining muscle whilst you lose weight, perhaps following a program rather than making one yourself could be beneficial, depending on what your fitness goals are.

There is some great info in this thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1

Your workout plan looks fairly close to All Pros, a well-established beginner's program many people swear by;

I'm only just starting it, so I can't give any personal experience atm, but I did a lot of reading and background research and there has been a lot of time and energy spent on the program (it's going on 12 years, has 1M+ views, and ~100,000 posts, with @nightanole answering questions and giving advice on a daily basis).

Looks to be high volume on the pressing. Perhaps it's better to take out one press somewhere. Bench press and clean and press are more than enough. Even that can still be a lot for the shoulder. All depends though.

@Ashleebee1995. You may find it better choosing a programme from the list posted above if you are new to lifting.

You may also, when just starting out, find it better to alternate lifting and cardio days. This will help you avoid burn out or injury.

It sounds similar to week 3 of the AllPro programme, but doesn’t include the 8-12 rep build over 5 weeks before increasing the weight, or the heavy, medium or light day each week.

I’ve been using AllPro (on and off) for the past 3+ years.

You may find this, now abandoned, group an interesting read.

This is very similar to my program. I only lift two days a week. Reps and sets are determined by your goals. I just want to be strong, not necessarily bulk, so I do 5 sets of 5.
On lifting days, I jog for an hour after I lift. I feels fantastic when I am done.
The rest of the week, I cycle or swim or jog or walk depending on the day and the weather.
