Before I get into the log post I wanted to mention I am down from 222lbs and now I weigh in at 214 for this cut so far.
The zane program so far is awesome I really enjoy it, I definitely underestimated how challenging it would be, that is ok by me because I live for the grind and the challenge.
Sometimes I will need a substitute exercise based on what I have and don't have at the gym, which I don't mind. I can do the vast majority of the movements at the gym.
Also I might add in an extra movement or two each week depending on what I feel is needed at the time.
The thing I like most about the zane program is it forces weight being increased, why on earth would I do a DB Bench Press for 4-8 reps with 35lb DBs I just wouldn't, as it would be a waste of time.
With this program you start out lite with weight and get heavier as the reps decrease, I also add in 1-3 warm up sets for some extra reps and sometimes I will do more reps on the last set then what is on paper, if I'm feeling good and can properly lift it, why the heck not!
I have noticed his program so far is exhausting maybe it's the movements or the structure, I love that feeling and I am enjoying it, definitely is the right fit for me.
On my off day from the gym on thursday I did 1 hour and 35 minutes of cardio, the thing zanes program lacks big time is cardio so I'm changing that aspect and bumping it up.
I hit the climb master and uphill cardio one after another.
