Hello everyone, Well I used to weigh 225lbs and am currently at 285. I used to workout allot, do lots of jogging etc etc. I also cage fight but have not done it in over a year also. I NEED to get back into the shape I used to be in, I had allot happen in my personal life and stopped training and all that stuff. I am back at it now and ready to go. Here is my workout plan I used to do but I want to change it from a 6 day to a 3-4 day a week workout. My first question is, What would be best to combine together to make it a 3-4 day a week workout? I have noticed my strength has deteriorated allot and I can barley bench anything now. Its really bugging me but is also huge motivation.
here is my plan right now, I actually found this from another site and I liked it and its what I have been using.
