Nice. How long that take you? That's the sort of workout I'd like to do (Split out my 'work'). What's your diet like now? Didn't you say you were gonna be a vegetarian? Or did I remember it worng?
You got it all wrong mate I love bacon, burgers and sushis too much to turn vegan. I've added protein shakes to my diet and will probly start to take fish oil capsules again. I'm trying to cut down on the processed food and eat real food instead but I have a very busy schedule, that makes it difficult. I'm trying to find a good balance between strength, crossfit/circuit training and cardio right now.
5x5 Front squats, 150 lbs 5x5 barbel overhead press, 125 lbs 1x5 deadlifts, 245 lbs Some core exercises (plank, side plank, ab wheel rollouts, side bends with a plate) then went ouside and did some plyometrics. 2 rounds of 10 repeated long jumps 10 tuck jumps 10 vertical jumps Forgot how hard those are, gonna have to work on them!
5x5 front squats, 155 lbs 5x5 bench press, 145 lbs 5x5 bent over row, 145 lbs Note that I have to clean the bar to do front squats as I dont have a rack at home. Oh and i set a new personnal record today, did a clean and jerk at 175 lbs
5x5 front squats, 160 lbs 5x5 overhead press, 130 lbs 1x5 deadlift, 255 lbs Then I went for a run, 5k in 23:20 mins. Not bad, I'd like to do it under 20 mins.
5x5 front squats 165# 5x5 bench press 165# 5x5 barbell row 165# Then went biking with the wife for about 3-4 kms
Finally got myself a 12lb sledgehammer and a used car tire I'll probly train outside tomorrow, might post pics of my setup.
Just did this 5x5 front squats, 170 lbs 5x5 overhead press, 135 lbs 1x5 deadlift, 285 lbs I sometimes do my presses like a push-press when it gets too hard, think I'll reduce the weight until the form gets better. I also want to alternate my workout. Heres how I see a typical week Day 1: Strength training (5x5 3 exercises, core) Day 2: Endurance training (ruck marches, crossfit, plyometrics, tabata workouts (tire sledge, boxing, etc)) Day 3: Rest Day 4: Strength training Day 5: Cardio (long runs at slow pace, short runs at medium pace, sprints, swimming) Day 6: Endurance training Day 7: Rest
Went training outside today. My forearms are so sore, can barely type lol. Tabata tire sledge Tabata farmer's walk Tabata ball slam Tabata mountain climber Tabata KB swing Oh and I'm doing the colour run in Montreal next week, I'd like to beat my personnal record in a totally fabulous way.
Today was supposed to be rest day but I wont have time to train tomorrow so I'll rest tomorrow 5x5 front squats 175lbs 5x5 bench press 170 lbs 4x5 and 4 reps of bent over rows at 170 lbs, failed the last one miserably.
Not quite a workout but we had search and rescue training tonight. We had an "obstacle course" where we had to crawl in corridors crossing obstacles on our way while wearing full PPE including the scott. I was carrying a hose and a halligan tool. It was hot as hell and there wasnt even a fire. So much for rest day!
So this morning I decided to see if I gained my strength back. Dynamic stretches Warm up with light weights Tried to clean 180 lbs for my squats. Couldnt lift it Deloaded to 175. Couldnt lift it so I got mad at myself for being such a wimp. Cleaned 175 aggressively and it worked! Hurray! 5x5 front squats 175 lbs 5x5 overhead press at 125. Tried 140 but could only complete one set with good form so I deloaded 1x3 295 lbs deadlift. Will have to improve that. Then did some core exercises, followed by a run outside, 2,4 km with the gas mask on. I re-tried to clean 180 after my squats and guess what, I did it! Realized that the key is to squat aggressively under the bar
