tbh at that height and at 96kg, you are not obese. you're just on the heavy side but you've already got the mass so why not use it to get stronger while trimming a little fat off the sides?

your gym routine needs a total makeover. i would suggest throwing in squats and deadlifts in there. for example. let's assume you hit the gym four times a week and so, the template would be:

day 1 - bench press
day 2 - deadlift
day 3 - bench press
day 4 - squat

set and rep ranges without too much thought would be 5 sets of 5 repetitions for each of the movements on each of the days. this does not include your warm up sets which should be about 3 sets of 5 repetitions at 40-50% of the maximum weight that you can move for one repetition (1RM). if you can imagine, your workouts on each of those days should have 3 phases ie. warm-up sets, work sets and the bonus round (really, it's just accessory sets). in your accessory sets, again keeping things simple, you could stick to the same movements as on the other phases but keep the weights at around 50-60% of your 1RM AND keep the lifts explosive (your form should still be good when performing the movement).

in summary:

3 x 5 @ 40-50% of 1RM
5 x 5 @ 60-90% of 1RM
5 x 10 @ 50-60% of 1RM OR 9 x 6 @ 70% of 1RM

this should kickstart some progress for you.

there will be a learning curve with the form for each of the movement so make sure you get that correct before you start adding more weight onto the bar.

First of all, I really do appreciate your time in replying my post

I have taken note for the changes you made or added in for me.

Normally at the Gym, I will start the treadmill with 2 mins warm-up (Speed : 5mph) then will start to run for 3 mins (Speed : 8mph) and followed by a cool down for 2min (Speed : 5mph). Is this the right way to use the treadmill for fat loss? Should I do it like this or run at a constant speed with very short interval rest for an hour? Really need some advice on this part here.

For the bench press, I normally do 10kg as I heard doing light weights on bench press make you loose those fat? Is it true? And I will normally do 18 reps for the first set and drop 2 reps for each of the following sets.

For the sits up, is it really pointless? How do I loose my upper and lower tummy without doing sit ups?; and other exercise can be used? Gonna give your recommended gym routine a try.

Also not to forget is my diet plan appropriate in terms of protein, carbs intake?

Many thanks in advance sir notworthy.gif

You warming up on the treadmill like that is fine. For weight loss... *shrugs* You are burning less than 50 calories is your only on the treadmill for 7 minutes and at such slow speeds. Are you confusing your warm up with HIIT? Because you are NOT going to dramatically lose weight by walking 7 minutes.

Dude.... what rubbish are you doing as a bench press? shocking.gif

ONLY ONE THING LOSES WEIGHT: Burning MORE CALORIES than you CONSUME. Diet is your number one priority when you want to cut fat.

The reason weight training is essential is that you build your strength, you sculpt your physique, you have the potential to build muscle (which burns 10-20 times more calories than the same amount of fat) and it expends energy (meaning you burn calories doing it) too. So STOP bench pressing 10kg and get srious about training.

LIFT HEAVY. LIFT HEAVY OR GO HOME.

Seriously. If you want to prance about like a delicate lily and lift light weights that make me cringe, stay home.

Yes sit ups are pointless to lose tummy fat. doh.gif The only way to lose fat is lose it. You rbody will decrease your fat from everywhere. Spot reduction is a myth. What situps, planks, and other core exercises do is strengthen and build core muscles.

Muscles you wont see unless the fat is gone. The fat is only gone if you lose fat from everywhere.

Read the link I gave you about estimating (unless you go take specific expensive tests to accurately measure how many calories you burn a day, everything is estimates - expect to tweak numbers on your own for best results) your calories a day AND figure your macros out.

Seriosuly dude. Cover the basics and don't buy into the bro-science spread based on nothing. Find out the science behind what works in our bodies.

Thanks for the reply shadowz, really appreciate it.

I think I did not make the treadmill part really clear, sorry about that. What I meant was doing 3min @ high speed and 2 min @ low speed for an hour.

Yeah, I got to agree on your statement above. Will start to get to lift up those heavier weights as recommended by whatdamn too. Hmm, so now I just got to focus on getting those fat off by burning more calories.

Thanks for the link, will go through it and yeah, I really do need to cover those basics biggrin.gif

Many Thanks smile.gif
