Vitnesbyrd vektnedgang med Starting Strength

[Tronaldo]

Jeg postet denne tidligere i dag i SS-tråden, men den kan like gjerne postes i dette underforumet siden det er vektnedgang som er essensen. SS gjort riktig kan være veldig effektivt for overvektige for å gå ned i fettprosent og samtidig bli sterkere.

Her er resultatene etter et knapt år med recomp/kaloriunderskudd med SS og etterhvert én og så to HIIT-økter i uka for ei 165cm høy dame på 30 år:

Gått ned 21kg fra 95kg til 74kg

Knebøy fra halvbøy med stanga til 84kg for 5x5

Markløft 90kg for 1x5

Press 32kg for 5x5

Benkpress 59kg for 5x5

Tatt av 28cm rundt livet

Her er hele posten for den som vil lese alt. Et lite utsnitt:

I explained my plan to him, lose enough weight to start running, then high reps and low weight because I didn’t want to get big and bulky. He asked me how that had worked for me in the past; He is not a particularly patient guy. He recommended a website and a book. He said buy the book, read it and do exactly what it says. He said if I had any questions, go the website and search around, and any question I could think of asking on this topic had been asked already and beaten to death in the forums.

He is a Starting Strength Coach, and he agreed to meet me at my gym. When I couldn’t squat down and stand back up, I tried to explain my hip was out, I needed to get adjusted, and maybe I wasn’t getting enough magnesium…. His matter of fact response somehow made things better.

“You have two major issues, you are fat and you are weak”, he said. “We will get you strong first and everything else will work out.”

I was prepared to be exhausted every moment, to be in constant pain, and to be screamed at like I was in some boot camp. Of course, that was not the case. I learned the squat, press, deadlift and bench. I wanted to start dieting right away, sort of attack my issue from all sides. The coach said no, he said one thing at a time. Eat some more protein if you can, cut back a little on carbs, but your body needs the resources to recover and adapt. Pretty quickly I was able to squat to depth and start adding some weights, my stomach muscles and C-section scar would often ache from forcing them to work.
