aaron_lohan		Conditioning and weight loss	26-08-2015 @ 10:40
Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210 682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq	Has anyone got any suggestions for what exercises or program I can do to lose some weight and improve conditioning? I currently weigh 85kg and wish to lose 4-5kg over a period of 5 weeks, I am not particularly interested in losing weight by doing tons of cardio, I wouldnt mind doing something involving weights like the death by deadlift that Fatpete does but having done that myself I know it is something that you cant do every session hence why I am looking for advice. Any advice is appreciated.

You can hop on one leg for an hour if you really want and lose weight if you are in a calorie deficit. In the same way you can just lift weights and lose weight. The classic advice is reduce calories to 500kcal below maintenance calories and exercise in whatever way you want. Calorie reduction can be done in a number of ways including low carb, low fat, intermittent fasting etc.

I've gone from gassing after a seven minute rounds in judo and bjj back into almost comp condition after a month of extra conditioning stuff consisting of mainly prowler sprints, sled pulls and burpees. And it's all over and done with quickly.

Get a video if you do. That would be a You've Been Framed moment if ever there would be one. I'll try though.

I am quite new to this, when I was young I used to lose weight by going on long bike rides but I dont want to do this now.

I am quite new to this, when I was young I used to lose weight by going on long bike rides but I dont want to do this now. What I did exactly: Ball Slams (1 min)/ sprawl (1 min)/ rest (1 min) * 5 20m sprint at 58kg / 30 sec rest * 5 20m sled pulls at 53kg / 30 sec rest * 5 What I did without access to a gym: push up/ body weight squat/ burpee/ squat thrust * 5/10/15/20/15/10/5 - no rest as rest is supposed to be the easier movements then various pulley band nonsense to mimic throws and stuff * 5 x 10 each side I did this 3 times a week on days I wasn't lifting. There's some stuff in there that's specific to skills I needed to build, and the intensity of the activity I was conditioning for which varies from stalling to explosive power. Plus I ate back all the calories I expended because I'm a pie.
