Chest & Shoulders Workout

My core was quite sore for some reason - I can't think of anything else beside the HIIT sprint I did yesterday. Who knows sprinting worked out my core as well.

I got great Chest and Shoulders workout with some Heavy Back workout to start off.

135lbs x 10- better set- stop go last 2-hold top last rep/30x
135lbs x 10- same above / 30x

Booty burn!

Note: Squat racks were so popular today! I couldn't get to use the usual rack that has low rack so I had to bit the bullet and try doing Hip Thrust using a bench! Never done this before. I thought I'd get more quad burn and lost my glute force but it turned out after 2 sets, my glutes fired up properly although I had to stop and go for the last 2 reps. But overall I could do 135lbs with the bench. That's a lot higher than the usual 3 risers that I use.

Chest & Shoulders + KB Circuit

Here's my today's workout. Mainly Chest and Shoulders and I threw in some Band Assisted Overhand Grip Pull up in the end just to balance things out and to get at least Back workout as you suggested.

Btw I haven't done BB Close Grip Triceps Bench Press for a while and I'm surprised I could do 45lbs. Last time I remember I was still struggling with 40lbs.

Next will be getting my left arm to press 20lbs without much struggle. I struggled quite a bit doing One Arm KB Press on my left for just 10 reps.

Glutes & Legs

Overall workout today WAS AWESOME!

I got to 15 for all my Deadlifts! - had to stop and go after 12 for 90lbs but I did it!
Is it time to add 2.5lbs?

Btw when should I add weights to each of my lift? My main niche is if I could do 15 reps for 3 sets with that weight then I know I could add 2.5 lbs for next time. Or do you always want to see my form first in video before I could add more weights?

Love this one for some reason! By engaging the core and tightened up the butt, it wasn't that hard actually. Next time I should try to do a full length.

Glutes & Legs

I had a great Glutes and Legs workout. Focused a lot more on Glutes today as I felt my knees were a bit funky. However after I was done with the squats, my knees aren't tight anymore! Weird! Oh well I take that.

Mobility warm up:
Turf skipping for 5 minutes
Light band fire hydrant
Donkey kicks (2 style - bent leg and straight leg)
Fire hydrant circle
Bodyweight squat

BB Hip Thrust (3 risers) - all regular styles
95lbs x 20-warm up -hold top
2x125lbs x15- reg- hold top

135lbs x 15-reg

I did all regular hip thrust. I think I felt stronger now that I could do total 15 almost non stop until the last 3 reps. I might be able to add another 5 lbs next week. Soon my hip thrust will match the Glute Bridge - 145lbs :)
