Glutes & Legs
I had a great Glutes and Legs workout. I ran out of time towards the lunges so I had to refrain from Side Lunges and did Side Step Up as well.
My hammies and inner thighs are still sore and tight so it might be a good idea not doing any side lunges for a while.
BB Hip Thrust (hold 10 sec on last rep) / Standing hip abduction 20-30x@each
95lbsx 20 warm up
100lbsx 15 warm up
105 x 10
110 x 10
120 x 8
125 x 6
Note: I could do heavier hip thrust! My wild guess for my MAX 3 might be around 130-135lbs.
BB Front Squat
55lbsx 8- below parallel
60lbsx 7 - below parallel
60lbsx 6 - below parallel
60lbs x 7 (last rep almost failed) - below parallel
Note: I added 2.5 lbs weights for my Front Squat and still could get below parallel without butt wink!
BB Reverse Lunges / DB One Leg RDL superset (hold 2 DBs)
3x45lbsx12@each / 3x20lbs x12@each
Note: Reverse Lunges - I'm still working on the balance so I still need to tap on my way back from the reverse lunge instead of doing the knee kick. / One leg RDL - 20lbs is my new weights - working on balance
DB Side Step up (hold 2 DBs)
2x10lbsx 15@each
Note: I got very tired so had to use lighter weights and did higher reps
Leg Extension (cybex machine - seat #2/ #11)
3x30lbsx12- quad burn

Legs & Chest/Shoulder /Triceps Workout
This morning workout was ok, didn't go as well as I expected to be. I didn't do all the supersets as planned because I couldn't find that 30lbs BB to do Close Grip Bench Press. Gotta improvise a bit.
For some reason I think I didn't activate my glutes enough so my left glute took most of the beating when doing BB Glute Bridge, resulting having this mild throbbing on my left glute (somewhere around where the leg and butt part meet??)
Superset 1
A) BB Glute Bridge
B) DB Bench Press (lying down on aerobic step with 2 risers)
A)
95x20 - ok
105lbs x 20 imbalances
105lbs x 20 - better burn w by adjusting foot positioning
B) 15lbs x 15
20lbs x 12
20lbs x 12 - mod weights
Note: DB bench press feels a bit easier to do than the DB Incline Press
BB Deadlift
3x95lbs x 10 - good sets & weights
BB Front Squat
55lbs x 10
55lbs x 10- hard last 2 reps
55lbs x 10 - hard last 2 reps
Superset 2
A) DB /BB Step Up
B) BB Lying Ovhead Triceps Ext
A)
20lbs BB x 15@each -too light
15lbs DBs x 15@each - good weights /need to focus on balancing esp stepping up right leg
15lbs DBs x 15 @each
B)
20lbs x 15 - ok
20lbs x 15- triceps burn last 3 reps
20lbs x 15 -ok
Note: left glute felt cramping today might be from imbalances BB glute bridge?
Standing Cable Straight Leg Back Raise
3x12.5lbs x 15@each
Note: I've finally got to do front squat correctly - no bouncing at bottom, feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly straight to front.

Glutes, Legs and KB Workout
My CN last night was great. Woke up feeling and looking lean, mean machine, crushing BB with Glutes & Legs Workout.
I upped my BB Glute Bridge to 105lbs now..YAY! Now I could start doing BB Glute Bridge at LA Fitness now that I could at least use 25lbs plates so I could just roll underneath the bar. Excited to do it again on Wednesday for my second Glutes/Legs workout. I upped my BB Deadlift to 85 lbs. Great feeling overall! My arms didn't give away at all, instead I felt a lot of burn and stretch on my hamstrings and glutes! I made a mental note to pay attention on my arm distant from my legs while holding the bar. I had the tendency especially on my right arm to hold the bar a bit far from my legs. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.
Front Squat unfortunately I could only get to 10 reps, while last week I could at least pushed thru 12 reps. It might be I was quite toasted already from the Glute bridge and Deadlift. Resting between sets were only enough time for me to log my sets or changing/putting away weights. Time under tension!
