Weight Lifting Workout 12/11/2019

So changing up the workout my coach gave me. I added two things, and took out one thing.

It is one of those days I know I need to get cardio in, but I also know my body does not want to. So I just did a mile run so I could get warmed up and get some cardio in.

Workout:
Perform each set with only 30 seconds rest between sets, then 1 minute rest between each different exercise.

  1. 1 mile run
  2. 40 lat pull downs. ( 50 lbs for me)
  3. Bench press with as heavy as you can go for 8 to 9 reps, x 5 sets (85 lbs for me)
  4. Back squats with as heavy as you can go for 8 to 9 reps, x 5 sets ( 135 lbs for me)
  5. Kettlebell swings 40 reps ( 25 lbs for me)

I really feel doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

So if you can get out there and get a workout in, do it, next time try to do more reps or go heavier.

Weight Lifting Workout from my trainer Tony 1

Today I did a weight lifting workout that my trainer for Muay Thai gave me and my team mates.

I was very taxing and he said it was going to make me sore for a few days and laughed. I accepted the challenge and did it. I also filmed it so that I could keep record of my progress.

Using weights that make it hard for you to complete 8 to 9 reps. You want to do 40 reps total for each weight.

Weight Lifting Workout:
60 second rest between each different exercise

  1. Barbell back squats 8 to 9 reps for a total of 40, 30 seconds rest between each 8 to 9
  2. Barbell bench press 8 to 9 reps for a total of 40, 30 seconds rest between.
  3. Barbell row 8 to 9 reps for a total of 40, 30 second rest between
  4. Kettle Bell swing 8 to 9 reps for a total of 40, 30 second rest between

It was hard to get a picture of me today, I felt like I looked terrible in all of them.

If I can work on my fitness, any of you can do it too. I am not the normal fitness model. I am as far from it as one could get. I just try to do my best. That is why if I can do it I truly believe you all can do it too.

Keep working on make yourself the best you that you can be. Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a great day.

Weight lifting workout for the week of 4/22/2019…Brain willing Body trailing

39 minute workout today is done. This will be the workout I will do for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Today my brain was willing, wanting to get my routine workout in, but my body was feeling tired. You know that feeling when you are doing your workout and your muscles feel low in energy. For me I think it was just lack of sleep that is really messing with me. I ate fine today.

Workout: 39 minutes

15 minute steady state run. (Body/Muscles are tired, so did not want to over do it with a HIIT) (note: weights are for my information do the weights you can lift safely)

24 minute weight lifting done in a super set:


Skull crushers 30lbs reps – 12, 12, 12
Hip thrusters 30 lbs reps – 15, 15, 15

Tripod tricep row 30 lbs per left and right arm reps – 12, 12, 12
Pile crunches reps – 12, 12, 10

Olympic barbell squat 115 lbs reps – 8, 8, 8

It was tiring to, but I got through it. My brain was happy and willing to do the workout, but my body was tired and not all together there.

Thanks for reading and have a great day. I have to go to work soon.
