Hello Iron Eagles!
It's last day of September, I can't believe I've been away from the USA 6 whole months!
In this period of time I've been training at a local gym in addition to my home workout routine.
I've packed on a lot of muscle from the heavier training and I'm back to real barbell back squatting!
In spring I got hooked on pistol squats, but that lead to a tear in my adductor magnus, I had to take time off from deep range of motion and all things squat, lunge and press unilaterally went out the window!
Now I'm back to building up volume and poundage and working on my range of motion and depth consistently and patiently.
My sleep is amazing finally, I love going to bed and drift away, I dream several dreams every night and wake up alert and ready for a new day.
I remember how tired and exhausted I was a few months ago, I was really weak compared to 'regular'.
Now I'm feeling strong and I look forward to going to the gym, but not long ago I had to fool myself to get out of the house and train, I just didn't want to, I was emotionally drained!
Things go up and down in fitness life and in life. it’s important to remember the highs, not just end up feeling low!
For October-November I want to share a great workout program for you, 8 weeks long and progressively.
I'll share day by day here in this thread so it's like following a workout journal together with me leading it.
Now you can see what I do in the video workouts, train with me on video, and then build up your sets with me.
Each workout video serves as my 'BASIC' workout, so if you only have limited time and the workout is tough, then that's all you do until you're ready to progress.
Under each workout video in description you see my workout design that goes beyond the workout video in sets and reps.
And I'll keep you engaged here!
You watch the video, try it out, then you can copy my notes for the workout and use that as your cheat sheet!
For Cardio recommendation, it's up to you based on your goals and ability.
I do 5 days of various cardio sessions on bicycle or elliptical 20-45 min long.
2-3 of those are interval style, if I got the energy 2 are tough HIIT sessions.
I also walk with brisk tempo Monday-Friday for 2 hours in Nature +10-20 min depending on the route.
I wish I could say I'm diligent with my stretching but right now it's quite minimal.
My goal is to set up a routine in the early night time before dinner to listen to audiobooks combined with stretching and body care work.
For now, I'm happy if I'm doing one weekend session rolling out my body from top to toe!
I made three new meal plans for October too, these recipes are in the Fighterdiet recipe App.
If you can't access them and you're subscribed let me know and I'll help you out.
DEFEED 2 REFEED
For you who follow Macros here's my general nutrition suggestion to Build Lean Muscle and get more muscle definition for females:
Calories 1530-1940 (1500-1900)
Protein: 150-200g
Carb: 120-150g
Fat: 50-60g
For men interested in building lean muscle and get defined, my general nutrition recommendation is:
Calories 2000-2500
Protein: 180-240
Carb: 150-200
Fat: 70-90
My Fighterdiet Nutrition recommendations:
Start with your protein intake so you cover that first.
Then add 2-4 lbs of vegetables a day.
Now check what you have left in calories, split those between your choices of carbs and fat.
Remember you want to have flexibility in your options!
Consistent compliance is what matters.
REFEED:
Plan for a day of doubled up on your calorie DEFEED intake.
In order to earn one you need to stay committed on DEFEED.
To build up momentum with your body recomposition, wait with refeed for 4-6 weeks.
Since DEFEED is a delight when you love your meal plan, you won't struggle with cravings or feel hungry.
If you DO, you want to schedule a VIP Nutrition Consultation with me!
For you who want a book with Fighterdiet meals, you can always use the Fighterdiet book I wrote in 2018, I'm adding it to resources for you who are enrolled in my yearly membership!
These are more relaxed in macro tracking, the focus is on vegetables and the protein kept in range. I show you how to double up on the portion so you can simplify your home cooking life.
Personally I lack interest in spending tons of time cooking, so I just enjoy my big dinner and dessert at night and have a protein shake in the morning with my coffee. EASY and NO big food belly all day long, just at night when that is HOW I go to bed satisfied, not HUNGRY!

Stretchy Incline Biceps Curls with timed sets!
I use a timer to monitor my sets, warm up first with alternating hammer curls.
When I've rested for 20 seconds I go into the position to do real set number 1 with bilateral hammer dumbbell curls.
The goal is to keep curling for 30 seconds without stopping or cheating, with the most weight as I can handle of course.
The second set I'll show you what happens with each consecutive set: muscle fatigue kick in faster.
Now, how many sets in a row can I keep going in this fashion? Each set gets tougher. Can I do 35 seconds under tension? Sounds easy, let's try it.
I focus on the time so I don't get stronger by accident.
This is the game I play in my Biceps Blast.
Did you know I have workout playlists for all muscle groups that show you how I train beyond the basic fitness routines?
Do you realize I keep challenging my body and mind to keep growing muscle AND brain?
The greatest rejuvenation system is resistance training and the best way to live happy is to DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
That’s what I do, I seize the training day out of love for the fit feeling!

This is how you get leaner over the weekend step by step:
1. Take your body progress photos today and make sure you’re covering all body parts, not just where you lean out first.
2. Check the light so it’s not unusually gym selfie mirror style flattering which will seduce your mind that you got leaner already and you can refuel with REFEED.
3. Check the texture of your fattest body part; is it thinner body fat or thicker or just the same?
4. Grab your fat so you know if your love handles got looser, monitor it.
5. Be mindful about your meal plan and the fact “one cheat meal” can undo the whole body recomposition process momentum you’ve been building up over the week.
6. Tomorrow Saturday avoid falling for your friends’ drinking and mindless eating lifestyle, if you feel tempted just ask yourself if their body shape is your goal?
7. Don’t rely on your willpower to sit with hunger, plan for a big POBO FighterDiet meal you can have if you go weak.
By the way, if you’re dieting with hunger you’re not doing it right, real hunger isn’t needed to get lean, reminder this.
8. On Sunday, watch your Mind carefully, you might get hit by another “start over diet Monday” mentality you’ve conditioned yourself to keep up repeating, it’s the yoyo dieting culture you’re stuck on.
When this thought arrives, remind yourself that if you eat today the way you want to remember tomorrow you’ll choose the right way to wake up leaner.
9. Be extra cautious when it’s Sunday afternoon and your mind suggests “just one last cheat”.
When this strikes you, take that fantasy for a thought observation. What will going for it do for you? Will the bliss end in regrets? Will you be proud of yourself if you cave?
10. Give yourself daily positive encouragement for working on your discipline, your self reliance and self trust.
Follow this protocol and you will wake up Monday HAPPY, feeling invincible, proud and LEANER.
