First a little bit of background. I have done weights before on and off so not a total newbie. The latest weight lifting program I did was strong lifts 5 x 5 and I stopped it in Feb 2020. Due to Covid. I did not go to the gym at all and started gaining weight. I am 5'9" and am currently 179 lbs. I came to my senses when my weigh scale showed 189.6! Currently I am on a journey to drop to 169 to 165 pounds(likely to happen by beginning of Oct) and then start a good weight program. I am on a calorie deficit and am doing biking and walking to burn calories now.
I did my research and got a bench and adjustable dumb bell set (not the automatic one but where you load 1" plates). Stumbled upon Darebee and picked the IronBorn. I have a couple of questions on ironborn.
1. Do you use the same weight for all the exercises in a day? For example, I can probably do 3 times the weight for bent over row over bent over fly on day 2. Should I pick a weight and stick to it? I like to do it that way as I need not keep adding and removing plates :-).
2. What happens after I complete day 30? Should I start again and increase the weight? - Rinse and repeat - forever?
3. Just to get warmed up, I have been practicing the exercises with 7lbs on each side every other day- while I am on calorie deficit. (I am loading up on protein and reducing the carbs). Is there a place where there are videos of all exercises in Ironborn?
Thanks for all your efforts in putting together this wonderful website and the programs! Appreciate it!!
