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.

Mobility Warm Up

BB Plié Squat / hanging knee raise 15x
2x45lbs x 20

DB Plié Squat / hanging knee raise 20x
2x50lbs x 20

Note: Felt better doing plié squat holding DB than having a BB on the back.

BB Hip Thrust (bench) / seated heavy band hip abdct
155lbs x 10
155 x 12
185 x 8 (singles last 2)
185 x 10 (singles last 2)

Note: BB Hip Thrust on the bench so I couldn't go too heavy without compromising my form. Medium rep range still good enough to get butt burn.

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.
