Lean & strong

4-week plan for a strong, athletic physique, built for a 163 kg body: machines, cables, dumbbells and low-impact cardio, no jumping and no floor work that loads the knees or wrists. 6 days, Sunday off. Each day has 3 options: 🏋️ Bodybuilding, ⚡ Power (no jumps), 🔥 Fat burn (low impact). Weeks 1–2 = Block A, weeks 3–4 = Block B. Every card shows set-by-set reps and weights. Tick ✓, log the weight, tap ⏱ Rest. Each exercise plays a short real-person form video next to the start/end photo (YouTube, muted; tap for sound).

Your goal: strong, athletic, then defined

At 163 kg the order is: build strength and muscle now, and let the fat come off steadily underneath. Abs show later, after the waist has dropped a lot. Eat below what you burn but with very high protein, so you lose fat and keep the muscle you build. Target about 1 kg a week down, strength up every week.

🎯
TargetsAbout 2,400 kcal a day, 180–200 g protein, 3–4 litres water, 7–8 h sleep, 6,000+ steps (build up slowly)
📏
MeasureWeight and waist every Sunday. Expect about 1 kg a week down. Strength on the cards up = it’s working

Your food, tuned

Keep what you eat now. Small fixes make it a physique diet.

🌅
Breakfast4 eggs: 2 whole + 2 whites. Add 40 g oats. Banana and black coffee as you do, no sugar
🍛
LunchChicken 200 g + rice 100–150 g. Half the plate vegetables or salad every day
🥚
Evening (before gym)2 eggs as you do, plus a fruit or a handful of almonds. Gives energy for the workout
💪
After gymWhey in water every training day, not sometimes. Then dinner within 1 hour
🌙
DinnerChicken or fish 200 g + vegetables, no rice at night. Curd or greek yogurt to finish

Rules that build the look

🍗
Protein at every mealeggs, chicken, fish, whey, curd. About 30–40 g each time, 4 times a day
🍚
Carbs around trainingrice, oats, banana before and after the gym. Less carbs on rest day
🥑
Healthy fats dailyegg yolks, almonds, olive oil, peanut butter. Needed for hormones and muscle
🚫
Avoidsoft drinks, juice, fried snacks, sweets after dinner. One cheat meal a week is fine
⚖️
Lift heavierevery week add a little weight or one rep. Log it in the plan. Strength up = physique up

    How the physique is built

    Muscle is built by lifting heavier every week. Fat comes off with the food plan and the low-impact finishers. At your size, joints come first: machines, seated work, bike, rower and stepper instead of jumping and floor exercises. As the weight drops, we add more.

    • 🍽️Eat about 2,400 kcal, 180–200 g protein. No sugary drinks, juice or late-night snacks
    • 🍗Protein at every meal: 1.6–2 g per kg bodyweight a day
    • 👟Walk daily, start at 5,000 steps and add 500 a week. Good shoes, no running yet
    • 🩺Get a doctor check first (blood pressure, sugar, knees). Stop any exercise that hurts a joint
    • ⏱️Rest 60–90 s between weight sets, 30 s for abs, 0 s in the finisher
    • 🪜Stepper after upper-body days: 10–15 min easy, hold the rails. Skip it after leg day
    • ⚖️Weights on the cards are starting points for a 163 kg beginner. If 12 reps feel easy, go up one step. If you can’t finish, go down one
    • 💧3 litres of water a day
    • 😴7–8 hours sleep: bad sleep = belly fat
    • 📏Measure waist and arm every Sunday morning, not just weight
    • 🎯Form first. Ask your trainer to check bench, squat and deadlift
