Hey there! Welcome to my weight loss log, like many of the others on here this thread is to keep track of my personal achievement and give insight to those who are looking to start their own weight loss journey.
I believe determination has a huge part in weight loss, which is why I will do every single workout and limit myself to my set calorie intake no matter what.
Part II - Personal Assessment
I am a 19 year old Asian male weighing at about 185-190lbs at the start of all this. Growing up, I was chubby and have always had what one would call 'man boobs'. I was not obese but for a medium frame guy,but I do have big thighs, belly fat and man boobs. Also important to note is that I could not do a single proper form push up, I just didn't have the strength.
Part III - The Plan
Initially, I heard about workout programs like P90X and Insanity that gave great results. In fact, I even tried doing one of them for a day just to test the water. Needless to say, I knew it wouldn't work. The amount of push ups, pull ups, sit ups done in a hour was far beyond my physical capacity so I decided to do some pre-training.
What is this pre-training? I have set up 5 laws for myself.
My workout is just to build upper body and abdomen strength so I can start the P90X in March. To do this, I am doing the onehundredpushup program, a 6 week program that is dedicated to getting people to do push ups from 0-100. In addition, I am also going to do 3 sets of 20 rep crunches every time I workout.
