          Weight: 80kg (14% going on a slow cut at the moment)
          Height: 175cm
          Squat: 145kg x 1
          Bench: 85kg x 1
          Deadlift: 140kg x 1
          Power clean: 75kg x 1
          100m: Unsure estimate is 13 seconds
          Vertical: 28-30 inches

          My goals:
          Weight: 70kg (10%)
          Squat: 180kg x 1
          Deadlift: 220kg x 1
          Bench: 100kg x 1
          Powerclean: 100kg x 1
          Vertical 38-40 inches
          100m: sub 12 seconds

          Routine:
          Block 1: 4 weeks
          tue/fri: acc/Jumps/LB wts
          wed/sat: Throws/Tempo/UB wts
          thur: GS circuits

          Monday 5th of September: (Rest day)
          1 x 20m sprint
          1 x 60m sprint
          1 x 800m run

          Today was just getting back into the feeling of running as i’ve been very unfit lately bulking for weights so need to start getting more fit and hopefully cut down 🙂

          you have the strength to beat 12 seconds. Start doing sprints on a weekly basis and I am sure you will lose the weight and break 12 seconds

          Thanks for the kind words! I regret bulking though 🙁

          Agreed, If you convert that strength onto the the track you will run quick and in my opinion 80kg is way to heavy for someone who is 175cm tall.

          Thanks for the post 🙂

          And yeah i have to admit 80kg is borderline unhealthy/overweight. Thats why i plan to cut to 70kg 🙂

          I’ll probably try maintain that 70kg for a while.

          First time running in a while and felt like crap so I’m deciding to cut to 70kg before I start any real sprint training

          You can cut and do sprint training at the same time. The sprint training might actually help you lose weight.

          Thanks for the input. I will add a bit of sprints into my routine

          By the way, would you know approximately how much 10kg would take to lose? My guess is 10-20 weeks

          Thanks in advance!

          Not 100% sure but 10kg is a pretty substantial weight loss, probably 20 weeks and upward.

          Agreed…plus with extra weight it’s like you have a weight vest on and it will continuously be getting lighter.

          Keep in mind that for the first few weeks, you may actually see weight gain while the muscles develop and your metabolizm adapts to the new training load. You’ll hit a tipping point though, and the fat should start to burn off more rapidly after that.

          Don’t get discouraged if you feel like you’re working your butt and not seeing results immediately.
