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.

Mobility Warm Up

BB Hip Thrust (5 risers) / DB Bent Over Rear Delt Raise
135lbs x 30 - did 15-7-4-3/ 5lbs x 15
145x30 - did 15-10-5 /5x20
155 x 30- did 15-5-5-5 /5x20

Note: First set I might put my feet a bit too far so I felt more burn on my hammies. Last 2 sets were the best, as always. I managed to add more weight too.

BB Row / cable butt stuff
3x65lbs x10 / 3x15-20lbsx15@each (2xside hip abdct & 1 x back kick)

135lbs x 30-broken into 15-10-5
135lbs x 30- broken inti 15-10-5

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.

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
