I am 170 cms and weigh 85kg. This has been coming down from a peak of 93kg beginning of 2023. I plan to keep dieting down, to 75kg as my target. I want to programme this, for fitness, I do not plan to compete in any event but will eventually test myself. Run bike row. equivalent of an olympic distance triathlon, but rowing not swimming.

streetlifting - maxing out squat, chin, dip.

At the moment I am doing 2 hours every morning, alternating a bike session with a run/row session.

Mon wed fri pm i do 3 sets each of sq chin dip. When I can get 3 sets of 5, I up the weight. I add at most one rep per session per lift.


Anyone want to offer any advice?

If you run well with it, stick with it.
If you feel to adjust something, then do so. Without any specific goal you don't need a proper programmed plan, you only need fun to stay active 😉

For your workout I would add some exercises to switch between them from training day to training day. Gets you moving into different planes and gives you a bit more variety.

PS: good result already 👍

As Sasha just mentioned, might want to add a little variety both in exercises and maybe reps (try different rep ranges). You have made progress though and I like that you are following Progressive Overload" with the weights/exercises.

cheers. I got my weight training programe from here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bssuHZA ... rengthGene It appeals to me because a lot of it is bodyweight loaded so as I lose weight I should not suffer too much. Probably the squat will go backwards but the main goal is to get to 75K. It does advocate the variety you talk about but first it is just squat dip chin until it dries up. Then it goes Mon squat chin dip, Wednesday variety day, Friday squat chin dip.
