Hi I'm Sam.
Been using Mark Lauren's You Are Your Own Gym on and off for 6 years. Absolutely love the program.
Recently been watching some of Dr Jim Stoppani's work on youtube.
He has convinced me, and I had heard previously, that lowering volume, but working out DAILY in full body format may be better for the body. From what I've learned:
a) For mid age, full body workouts allegedly achieve better results
b) Working out both upper and lower body stimulates more growth hormone
c) Working out full body, up to 7 days a week, can lead to greater strength and mass gains, when modified for lower volume, but medium to high intensity.
I'd really like to test it, using YAYOG program, but modify it to an all body routine. Start out 3 days a week and build up to 7. I'd probably eliminate cardio if doing this. I'm not 100% with all the variables and would really appreciate some help.
I'm just restarting this journey after weightloss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). Before anyone judges, struggled with my weight since I was 6, and I've literally lost over 300kg in my lifetime...then gained it back. I had to try something different to lose the fat permanently. I'd really love to update some stats here occasionally, keep myself accountable.
5'10", 40 yo,
highest weight 167kg (Dec 2014)
surgery weight 137kg (18th of feb 2020),
current weight 122.4kg (12th of apr 2020)
been working out lightly for 3.5 weeks, working at half capacity (4.5 mins per exercise x 4 exercises, ladders format 4 or 5 times a week) as just getting back in to it, so adding 1 min per week to the first batch of circuit training (ladders format) until I can manage 2 weeks at 7.5 mins x 4 exercises, 4 times a week, if not 5 when I'm feeling strong.
Is there anyone familiar with Mark Lauren's bodyweight book? and his programs? Could I have some advice modifying the program? If necessary I can post the whole program, but it would be great if someone was already familiar with it.
Also happy to chat through PM. Not sure how happy Mark would be if i was posting all of his material on the forum.
Thanks heaps in advance. Very grateful for any help.
