Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Happy Monday! Started a new workout today. Similar to some I’ve done before. High density workout in order to burn a decent amount of calories in the short training times now that school is back.

Goal for the first 2 circuits was 15 mins each & 10-12 on #3. Sadly it only left me with 8 mins for the last circuit due to having to set things up. But I was absolutely drenched when I left! Sweat was literally dripping off my face! Lol

Circuit 1 AMRAP in 15 mins
**made it 5 rounds**
B.B. Bench 95x10
B.B. row 95x10
Plank 30 secs
60 secs rest
—started failing reps on chest about round 3 had to pause to push through

Circuit 2 AMRAP in 15 mins
**made it 5 rounds
Pull-ups x10
Hanging leg raises x10
Db shoulder press 25x10
60 secs rest

Circuit 3
Shortened # of exercises for time
Db Lateral raises 10x12
Db bent over raises 10x12
45 secs rest
**made it 6 rounds in 8 mins


Went back later for cardio

25 mins of sprints

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

thanks for the link. i think all of us that squat and leg press heavy, need to take hip health more serious. the hips are key to lower back and legs point blank period

I agree! I sure didn’t take them seriously enough before I was injured!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Leg day went surprisingly well...went lighter to play it safe. Just higher reps

Leg press
3 wu sets
4 working sets of 480x20

SS with lateral squat walks (hip circle)

SS
Kneeling squats
4 sets of 160x15

Single leg Glute bridge
4 sets of 12

SS

Cable crunches

More rolling/stretching

Side note...I found this that actually has all the releases, stretches, and exercises to strengthen the hips. To help fix rotation. Everything I’ve found before has been bits & pieces of this but never in one spot.

Mine are all out of sorts. Torqued to the left as well as anterior tilt on the right side. Figured I’d share

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Good morning! Managed to strain my lower back on Wednesday doing deadlifts. Sadly I was just warming up! Lol It’s the same place I injured a few years ago. Thankfully it’s not near as bad. Just a minor strain. Took flexeril and Advil Wednesday -Thursday but I should be ok today. Just tight/achey. Did finish my back workout on Tuesday but avoided lower back work as well as lots of rolling/stretching. Yesterday was shoulders. Had a great session. I don’t do a lot of “pump” type workouts but shoulders always seem to get full and painful where even carrying my bag hurts! Haha Love it!!

Heading in for legs now. Wondering what work I will/will not be able to do. [emoji51]

Have a great day!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Had to take the rest of the week off due to hubby’s grandmother passing away. Traveled to Kentucky for the funeral. It was good to see family though! Some of them I haven’t seen in 10 years!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Re: Love2liftkat's training log
