I plan to do 2 sets of 10 reps of each exercise (name taken from the video)  hmm.gif
1. Curl and Press
2. Crush Grip Goblet Squat
3. Dumbbell Pullover
4. Farmer's Carry
5. Thrusters
6. One Arm Incline Bench Press
7. Swing
8. Tripod One Arm Row

after that, I plan to do HIIT with the gym bike, most likely for 10 to 20 min. Doing 10 seconds sprint, with 10 seconds rest repeatedly. The resistance will be set at hard (climbing).

So, here's the problems or questions I have in mind

1) By doing this, am I covering all the muscles that I need to work out?
2) Is the workout order is good? I mean, if I follow the above sequence, may I overwork the muscles? I will start with light weights for the beginning and slowly will increase the weight in future.
3) I would like to know also, what is the best period to increase the dumbbells weight, for the dumbbel and by how much? Is increasing 1kg each in every month is a good target?

For meal, I still stick to my usual 3 meals per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner). However, I start to calculate and record the calories intake and WILL maintain less intake than the TDDE.

Appreciate all advice given  flex.gif

Seems like an OK workout that targets all body parts, you need to make sure that you give your all on those 10 reps. Meaning that on the 10th set of each workout, you would slightly struggle to do it and its hard to hold a conversation after your exercise. If it's too light, you can increase the weight, and progressively overload.

What I would do is I would rate on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the easiest and least struggle while 10 is the hardest of each exercise. If it's 7 or below, I would increase and weight and maintain the same weight if it's 8 or more. I will then aim to decrease the "toughness scale" on my next workout.

As for HIIT, I would suggest doing 15-20 second sprint with 30-40 rest intervals with x5 cycles. Giving your obsolute best, pedal to the medal in those 15-20 second sprint at 80-90% max. If you're not giving your best, then it would considered at HIIT. Please mind that doing steady state cardio (jogging slow) is also a good option to lose calories. HIIT is not a necessary.

thank you very much on the tips. Its my start of 2nd week of workout, I actually didnt managed to complete a full 10 reps without cheating a rest in between. But I also wonder if I do it correctly as I dont really sweat when I did the lifting. I do sweat a lot during HIIT tho. I am thinking that I should focused more on correct form before thinking of adding another set anything else tho.
Will try that HIIT tomorrow. Reason why I plan on HIIT is just to cut time. but 5 cycles seems like a little low?

Any tips for warm up? I did a steady cycling for 5 min and then straight away move to lifting without stretching or anything.

You are correct, you should focus on form first then try to add weights after. Remember that working out is suppose to be challenging, if you are not challenged, you are not giving your all.

For warm up, you can try to search for dynamic stretching, plenty of videos on youtube on how to do, followed by 5 min steady cycling. Stretching is really necessary for joint health.
