Glutes & Legs + 10 min HIIT sprint/walk track field

So today I tried out doing 10 min run/walk after my leg workout today. Not too bad actually. The park that is on the same way to the gym has a track field. But it's on a hard surface, not dirt so it might not be too ideal for sprinting? I could always just use the baseball field as my track field. At least that one is on the dirt and grass.

Chest & Back Workout + 3x30 Bodyweight One Leg Elevated Glute Bridge

I tried out the Cable Wide Lat Pulldown. I might need to practice more with 45lbs weight until I could get all the pull from my lats. When I tried 50lbs, I started to feel it on my triceps, so no good. On last set, I moved back down to 45lbs and I think I will stick to this weight until I get it right.

With Hammer Wide Lat Pulldown, I think I got better control using my lats.

Seated Cable Row actually felt good for me. I could feel my lats engaged more with a bit some from biceps.

It's VERY hot here..I think it's around mid 90s and possibly 100s in some area! Plus humid! Ugh, hate this weather. Makes me sweaty even though I'm just sitting down and not doing much. More frequent cold shower for me ..haha.

Here's today's Glutes & Legs workout. All great. Had a some panic attack when I got home and found out I lost my iPhone. drove back to the gym and thank goodness someone was kind enough to give it to the lost/found front desk so I got my phone back. PHEW!!

Lighte glutes + Back and Shoulder Workout

decided to do another week of Back and Shoulders instead Back and Chest. I might want just do more Back and Shoulders to train my shoulders a bit more in addition to Sunday's KB which mainly already shoulder centric for the most part.

For Thursdays, I could always just throw in 1-2 set of chest oriented workout such as Incline Chest Fly (with DB or the peck deck machine), or Hammer Incline Chest Press or even just the good old push ups.

I was going to try out that BB Squat for 20 reps but today wasn't the day I had the most pump so probably next time. It'll be interesting how much I could do. I might start off really light weight like 50-55lbs. I might try out with Back Squat just for testing. Maybe next Thursday I'll give it a try.

Note: The bench might equivalent to 6 risers. I couldn't have the weight touching down the floor or it'd be too uncomfortable. Regardless those 3x30 reps with 135lbs burned quite good. Last 2 sets were the best while first set I got burnt out a bit too soon.

Kettlebell Workout

Today's KB workout. Animal movements were quite fun. All types of crawling are fun. Alligator crawl is the hardest - pretty much bear crawl but we got deeper in push up position with one leg tuck in - or as Z always call it reptile plank.

Modified the Part #2 to be more pressing focus. Originally we had to super set double front squat with pressing. But I skipped the front squat and focused on overhead pressing and did extra rounds to get the most out of it.

3 Rounds of below:
Part #1
1 Arm Swing 5x
1 Arm half snatch 5x
Rev lunge 5x

Repeat for other side before part 2

Part#2- 2 rounds
Double swing 5x

Back, Shoulders and Arms

My today's upper body workout. The beauty of not having to rush things around. I had a little trouble falling asleep last night and even was wide awake a bit earlier than 4am without any alarm. But I laid down half asleep until 6am then did the usual morning stuff before gym.

I implemented the machine assisted pull up as my trainer DebbyK suggested. In between my upper body sets, I sneaked in some pull up stuff with the machine. I used less assistance. Not sure the weight since the top 5 weight stacks above 10lbs weight stack weren't labeled so I just indicated how many weight stacks that I was using. I did total 15 reps of machine assisted pull up (overhand grip).

And as usual I also sneaked in some bodyweight leg stuff (6 sets hammies/posterior chain moves and 3 sets quad centric moves)

Tomorrow I might actually go to one of those Zumba classes at LA Fitness. Should be something fun and different to do on non weight day as now I have the time.

Hip Thrust was quite tough in the beginning until I got my mind and body connection going!

I didn't feel too energetic, nor in a mood of doing anything heavy so I kept things lighter with more reps. Not in the mood of doing any BB Squats either so did Plié Squat holding 1 DB horizontally. Totally quads and butt burner!

Today's upper body workout with some light legs (focused on posterior chain such as One Leg Hip Thrust, Standing Side Hip Abduction, One Leg DB RDL) and a set of Skater squat towards the end.

3x25lbs x 15@each / 3x20lbs x 12@each (moved down to 15lbs last 5-6reps)

Note: So I tired out using 20lbs DB for single Arm Arnold Press - my left hand managed to do 5-6 reps before I had to switch down to 15lbs to finish off the reps - total 12 reps. My right obviously could do more but I'll use my weaker side as my max reps for now.

Some quick core stuff

Glutes & Legs

I was not so energized this morning - more like mentally I think and I was going to take it easy.

Tried out BB Pliét Squat (with bar on back)- not bad. I think I could only squat in wide stance like this with back squat style- Front squat I need to keep my feet no wider than shoulder width or even narrower to get full depth.

Then head over to Hip Thrust.

Low and behold: because of my bad math, I actually Hip Thrusted much heavier than I thought, even with the warm up set -LOL! I was thinking I loaded 165lbs as my activation set and added 10-15 lbs from there. Towards the end, I was like, hey I didn't start off 165 but 185lbs! (2x45lbs + 2x25lbs + 45lbs bar = 185lbs) - Hahahaha!! I was so glad I actually did those for 8-10 reps!

Leg Press - I went up to 120lbs (weight on each side) and got 10 reps! My left foot cramped up a bit afterward that I had to stretch it out. These were hard sets!

Then some little accessories and finished off with some bodyweight back workout.

Glutes & Legs

Here's today's lower body workout. BAHT style for Deads and Back Squat - total killer..especially with superset. I totally understand now why only 4 sets and 4 exercises.

Hip Thrust only went regular set going heavy and after did heavy set I even didn't have much energy to do burn out sets but still did. Super hungry also!

I managed to do 15 reps with 120lbs - very hard last 5 reps though. I had to paused 1 sec at bottom before powering up. I might be able to squeeze one more rep but my form might erode. Geez even 2 sets DL warm up already taxing my cardio.

Did similar rep range/sets style as my Tuesday lower body - heavy weights with high reps.

I took weights that I usually could do for 8-10 and pushed through 15 reps. Only main lifts - did 2 warm up sets for each main lifts and 2 working sets - trying out BAHT style. Very minimal rest other than switching/loading weight plates and recording my sets on my phone.

Such a killer! Hammer Shoulder Press destroyed me. Same as Hammer Wide Lat Pulldown. BB Row - I think I might skimp the last 2-3 reps to get full ROM.

Glutes & Legs Workout (heavy weights - high reps)

Basically today's workout were taking most of heavy weights that I usually do 10-12 and pushed to 15 or even a bit more if I still could have some in tank left but still could execute in proper form.

So I tested BAHT style set for my front squat. Holy crap, burning like hell but I got to get it over fast too..ha! Looks like 75lbs is my 15 hard reps.

Hip Thrust killed me. I had to lie there a bit after the lift to get over my little light headed..haha. People around me might wonder what the hell I did.

First time trying Rack pull. It's ok. Better than nothing and i didn't feel like doing Leg Press today.

Today's KB was great. No weighted leg stuff for me. Butt is so sore probably from yesterday heavy BB Hip Thrust 205lbs for 10 reps on 5 risers. I usually do 8 for that but I pushed that last 2 & also kept butt tension entire time esp on the eccentric move.

Btw glad to hear you had a great run yesterday. It always motivating more to have a workout companion :)

It's still a progress! Now my lats start feeling them!

Glutes & Legs

Today's workout wasn't too snazzy. My right foot (see attached picture) felt some sharp pain when I did the deadlift or whenever I tried to shift most of my weight to the right or pressing my entire foot on the ground, which was most proponent when doing the deadlift.

Once in a while, I do feel it when I walk or stepping using my right foot or whenever I shift most of my weight there.

Hip Thrust - OK. I was going to do pyramid but then I started having cramps so no pyramid.

And I wasn't dare enough to do squats so no squatting and focused more on hammies and lunges.

My stomach was eating up itself since I woke up. I thought it got a bit better after I had 1 Tbsp coconut oil upon waking up with my hot tea but then in the middle of workout it started out again. Usually it felt better after I had whey but not today. Stomach felt better and not eating itself after I had my solid fat/protein meal 30 minutes later.

Oh well overall today's workout was quite light for lower body.

I'm giving my upper left back another rest today so no Deadlifts or lifting any heavy stuff horizontally. I should be ok by Tuesday, hopefully.

Warm up
Mobility drill
Bw squat

BB Hip Thrust (bench) / band abduction
2x135 x 12 - warm up
2x155lbs x 10
2x165lbs x 8

Bench was totally harder but I focused on the full ROM - so I let the BB plates touched the ground before I lifted up with my hips. Obviously couldn't go too heavy - even with 165lbs - I started to feel my quads and inner thighs to get burn towards the end of last 3 reps, which means I started to lose tension on my butt. I think I'll try using bench from now on and work my weight up from here again.
