After over a week of being sick, some sort of summer cold, I tried my hand at working out again. I did so at our local Friskis & Svettis gym. I've had my suspicions about going so heavy in my existing routine. Working up to 3x3 reps has been kind of brutal. I have not idea if that is the culprit in the case of me being sick more often this spring but it's worth looking in to. With that to consider I decided to try something new. It spells..don't go so damned hard! And by that I mean don't go so heavy and don't go to failure ALL the time. We will see how this plays out, boy's and galls!
The Work Out:
Warm Up - 1000m row on the Concept 2, 4:38
Low Bar Back Squats: 3 x 5 - 80 kg, 2 x 8 - 60 kg
Barbell Hip Thrusters - 3 x 10 - 60 kg
Military Press - 3 x 5 - 40 kg, 2 x 8 - 30 kg
Dumbell Biceps Curl - 3 x 5 - 18 kg, 2 x 8 - 12 kg
Farmers Carry - 3 x 50 Steps w/ 40 kg Kettlebell in Each Hand
Face Pulls - 2 x 12
That is all she wrote! I can't say I was feeling it. I was not all there. But the motto was "easy does it", and for the most part I stuck to that. The Hip Thrusters was a new one for me, thank you Jeff Cavaliere at Atlean-X, and I had a hard time finding a good spot on my pelvis to rest te bar on. It was somewhat uncomfortable whatever I did. But a seriously worthwhile exercise. I just have to get it dialed in, I guess.
But what did you eat today, you might ask? Apart from a Whey Protein shake with Collagen and Creatine, here comes the answer to that question:
Breakfast: Two boiled eggs and some ham.
Lunch: Beef liver and chorizos with mustard
Dinner: Remains to be seen...probably something carnivorous
