Weekly structure (repeat)

  • Mon: Upper (strength)
  • Tue: Lower (strength)
  • Wed: Push (hypertrophy)
  • Thu: Pull (hypertrophy)
  • Fri: Legs (hypertrophy)
  • Sat: Steps + mobility (optional light pump)
  • Sun: Rest + mobility

Cardio (10–11 PM, muscle-sparing)

  • Default: Zone 2 incline walk 30–45 min, 4–5 days/week (talk in short sentences).
  • Steps: 8k–12k/day total (primary fat-loss lever).
  • Avoid frequent hard running during the cut if strength/sleep drops.
