Glutes & Legs Workout + KB Class

I had a great Glutes and Legs workout today, finished off with HIIT KB class. Today's KB class was quite intense, lots of superset and in the end I had to do Sled Pull and Push for entire 5 minutes - altering with my partner. I think I got 4 sets of those.

Btw I managed to record some videos today for some of the moves below:

BB Glute Bridge
95lbs x20x2- warm up
115lbs x 15
125lbs x15 - hard last 5 - focused on getting up to a full extensions
135lbs x15- tough last 5

BB Deadlift
95lbs x 10 - ok
100lbs x 10 - tough last 3-4 reps
100lbs x 8 - started getting tough by 7th, pushed to 8. Might able to do 2 more but will be very tough.

BB Front squat 55lbs x 12- hard last 2 55lbs x 10- hard last 2 55lbs x 10- hard last 2
BB Split Squat 45lbs x 12 @each - left lost balance by 9th rep 45lbs x 12@each - right lost balance by 8th rep 45lbs x 12@each- made both sides w/o losing balance!
Butt Blaster 30lbs x 15 x3 @each - powered thru on way up & slow in way down I adjusted my positioning so I was a bit more forward than before and took your cue to power up when kicking out then came down slowly. Rinse and repeat.
KB class 5 min Superset #1: Ring Push Ups 10x (modified with reg push ups in between) KB Floor Press 10 x (used a pair of 15 lbs KB) Workout #2: 5 min One Arm Snatch (used 18lbs competition bell) 5 min Superset #3: Landmine Twist 10x @each side (45 lbs bar) Sit Ups 10x 5 min Superset #4: KB Goblet Squats 8x (used a pair of 20lbs KB) KB Deadlift 8x (used 70lbs KB) 5 min Superset #5: Sled Pull and Push Combo: 145 lbs (alternate with a partner)

Glutes & Legs Workout

Wednesday is my favorite day because it's the peak of the week and that means weekend is just around the corner! :)

I am so happy I could hoard that squat rack for the entire time - yes bad me but I don't care! GLutes and Legs days are always my favorite and it always excite me after the workout, I feel my glutes are pumped and has that tightness feel to it.

BB Glute Bridge
95lbs x20 warm up
105lbs x 20 warm up
125lbs x 15
125lbs x 15
125lbs x 15 - tough last 3
135lbs x 10- I finally braved myself to use the big plates! Holy it actually feels LIGTHER than the smaller plates? It could be because the bar isn't just sitting directly on my pelvis the entire time since 45lbs plates have bigger diameter. Thoughts? I think I might be ready for 135lbs BB Glute Bridge.

Active rest: Ab Splitter 10x (one of Z ab moves combo - 3 abs move count as 1 rep)

BB Hip Thrust
95lbs x 15- ok- felt a bit burn in inner thighs?
95lbs x 10 - felt not much tension on glutes
95lbs x12- better set- felt tension on glute & not much on thighs/quads

Active rest: front plank hold for about 1 min

DB Full Squat (2 DBs - 15lbs each ) feet pointed fwd & shoulder width apart - weights indicate total DBs weights - I think a pair of 20lbs should be better for me but couldn't find them around!)
3x30lbs x 15

DB Side Lunges (1 DB goblet hold)
3x 15lbs x 15@each

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!

BB Glute Bridge
Set 1 - 105lbs x 12 reps - heavy pushed thru 12 still had some more reps could do
Set 2- 1105lbs x 12 reps - good weights
Set 3- 105lbs x 12 reps - booty pumps!

BB Deadlift
Set 1 - 75lbs x 12 reps - felt good burn on hmastrings & glutes -could do more weights!
Set 2- 85lbs x 10 - good weights! Still had 2 more reps tank
Set 3 - 85lbs x 10 - good stretch at legs hammies & glutes- arms didn't give away!
Set 4 - 85lbs x 10 - need to pay attn to arm distant holding the bb

BB Front Squats
Set 1 - 50lbs x 10 - had to focus
Set 2 - 50lbs x 10 - struggled last 2 reps - could maybe push 2 more reps
Set 3 - 50lbs x 10 - struggled last 2 reps - quads & knees burning to get up last 2 reps!

BB Reverse Lunge
Set 1 - 45lbs x 10 @each - left felt stronger
Set 2 - 45lbs x 10 @each - burning legs! Left felt more on glutes compare to right
Set 3 - 45lbs x 10 @each - left glute felt more tension than right- right more on quads/a bit on knees

KB class circuit
Part#1: 15 min AMRAP (completed 3 rounds)
20lbs x 1 rep @each Turkish Get Up
5 burpees (no jumping- focused on the push ups- elbows close to side and chest touching ground)
20lbs x 5 reps dead clean & press @each arm - left leg felt weaker towards 2nd and 3rd round. Had hard time pushing the weight up!
2x22 lbs x 8 reps KB front squats

Part #2:
6 sets - 30lbs x 10 rep @each One Arm KB Swing (30 sec break in between sets)

Part #3:
2 sets - 30 sec Wall Sit

Part #4:
80 reps total Reverse Body Ring Rows (with a partner)

Butt Blaster
Set 1 - 30lbs x 20 reps @each- right leg felt knee burn -left ok on glutes
Set 2 - 30lbs x 17 reps @each - right leg had hard time extending w/o feeling burn on knees- left fekt strong w full ext. pushing from glutes
Set 3 -30lbs x 15 reps @each - right leg needs more work pushing from glutes, not knees or quads!
