"Pick your guts from the floor (c) Goliath by Architects"
Hey everybody!
My name is Katia and I've been around DAREBEE since like 2015. I started my fitness journey here with calisthenics, then got into bodybuilding, powerlifting and eventually olympic weightlifting. I loved oly lifting, and maybe one day I'll get back to it... I miss leg day everyday
Stopped going to the gym in 2022 because of my own reasons and built a small home gym — a pull up bar, a (non-olympic) barbell with some plates, adjustable dumbbells, a couple of kettlebells, dip bars and a walking pad. I trained and everything was fine, but then my depression got the best of me, and gradually I stopped training and actually gained around 20kg since January of 2022.
Now, after gaining that weight and losing my motivation, I want to get my comfortable weight and confidence back. I also want to be able to do chin-ups (I could do like 5 in one go, but now my heavy ass doesn't let me!) and full push-ups again.
The goal of this post is accountability and logging in my progress. I came to realization that I do need it. Can't promise I'll post updates everyday, but I am going to try my best.
The training plan for at least next 3 months (starting on December 1st, because you definitely should wait) is the Spartan, as listed here. It seems like what I will enjoy and can manage with my current work and hobbies.
THE TRAINIG PLAN:
0. 30 min walk every day in the morning
1. Full body — Batcave friendly workout (starting with 3 sets)
2. Rest/Casual training — <Totals> program + ZEN program
3. Full body — Baba Yaga workout (starting with 3 sets)
4. Rest/Casual training — <Totals> program + ZEN program
5. Upper body — Goliath workout (starting with 6kg dumbbells and ~48kg for deadlifts)
6. Lower body — Glutes Sculpt workout (starting with 8kg dumbbells but bodyweight for deep side lunges)
7. Rest/Casual training — <Totals> program + ZEN program
On top of that I will be following some challenges.
DECEMBER CHALLENGES:
— Pull up challenge (but with negative chin ups)
— Tricep dips challenge (but with leg supported dips)
JANUARY CHALLENGES:
— Pull up challenge lvl 2 (but still with negative chin ups)
— Tricep dips challenge (but x2 reps of leg supported dips? we'll see)
It's gonna be hard. Eating "clean" and less will be hard. But I know I have it in me to do that. Just have to change my state of mind and actually do things, not just plan them. Wish me luck
And here's me doing some oly lifting in 2021. Man. I was strong
