20x(5 push press+10 alt lunges)-20lbs EMOM
Chin ups: 5x3
Technique: HS walk
EMOM got HR up a bit, but not too intense and felt good and quick, really worked abs. actually quite crushed after though, chin ups worked back and harder than expected.
Back Squat: 1x5- 50,60,65; 3x3-70kg
Press: 8x5-25kg EMOM
I was in a bit of a rush so didn’t have time for accessories. Squats felt really good and strong. The first set of 3 really gave me confidence for the 5x5 coming up in 2 weeks. Press was mentally hard with the clock against me. @T3hPwnisher my elbows were bothering me more than anything even though I didn’t change form. I love how my squat is going is, but all the upper body work is getting pretty unfeasible for me.
Weighted chins beat up my elbows pretty good in the program, and I ended up using ramping sets rather than straight sets for the 5x5. Dunno if your construct allows for a similar deviation.
8x(40sec battle rope+20sec rest)
5x(20sec jump lunges+20sec battle ropes+20sec rest)
Squats: 5x6-40kg all reps in 1 breath - I really wanted to play around and see what happened. I actually got quite a pump. The breathing wasn’t as bad as I expected
@T3hPwnisher@dagill2 nutrition question. I’m aiming for a daily average of 1500cal (roughly 100cal surplus based on tracking I did in week 1). Is it okay if I don’t count the calories from my salads- large bowls of plain spinach, lettuce, onions & mushrooms w/o dressing or oils. I know it’s important to track everything when cutting, but I that’s obviously not my goal and I figure I can’t possibly get fat from extra servings of leafy greens right? I’m asking because all the ppl online (looking for fat loss) say to track everything
I also get that tracking is never accurate, but since I’m eating the same foods from the same places, I’m pretty sure I’m consistent with the calorie count even if “1500” isn’t really 1500
The tracking isn’t accurate at all, whatever you do, and you never know how much evergy you absorb of the food - for example the nuts have many calories but about 20-25% ot them aren’t dygest and absorb. Also the vegies with a lot fibers.
But even though I track everything. Greens don’t have fats but they have proteins (3-4 g/100g) and carbs. For example I eat about a kilo vegetables per day at least, so i can’t skip tracking it.
A few years ago I finally understood that we don’t need so much protein- 1.6 -1.8 g/kg BW is absutelly enought for a sport person. But even so I eat much more than that
As a woman you need more fats than a man, so my advise to you - don’t cut fats, expecially the good ones - extra virgin, row nuts,avocados, eggs- eggs are the ultimate food For past 2 yeasr fats are 50-60% of my daily calorie intake and I’m feel really good.
Why do you want to cut? I think you are about 40 kg or something? How is even possible to be slimmer?!
Back Squat: 1x5-50kg; 5x5-60kg, 2x3-60kg w/3sec pauses
Press: 5x5-30kg, 35kg was NOT happening
Conditioning: 8x(20sec jump squats+20sec pushups+20sec rest)
stomach wasn’t feeling the best, but felt a lot better after getting started. squats felt really good and smooth and with much better form. Press mentally exhausting and I was actually considering doing more squats just to avoid presses. conditioning went by really quick and pretty intense
Front Squat: 1x5,40,45, 3x5-50
Bench: 1x5-35,40; 5x5-45
Conditioning: 5min max man makers-30lb DBs-16+2.5min rest+5min max man makers-27.5lb DBs-17
Technique: HS walk
A bit beat up and really procrastinated every set, but mentally made it through, first sets actually felt the worst and got better. Energy improved as session went on and for some reason, I was really compelled to do manmakers, felt intense and killed shoulders
4x[(every 2min- 5 manmakers-27.5lb Dbs+battlerope in rest of time)+1min rest)
Pullups: 4x4
Leg extensions: 3x12-40lbs w/5sec hold at top of last rep
20min weighted vest walking-30lbs in pack (took stadium stairs)
got HR up and felt good, manmakers pretty intense and barely able to complete, vest walking feeling better and easier- getting better!
20x(15 pushups+25 air squats)- 21:13
DB incline bench: 3x15-30lb Dbs
3x1min(10 battle rope slams+max battlerope in rest of min)+1min rest
Bench: 2x8-30kg all in 1 breath
Felt really good. Tired yesterday so pushed a bit today. The DB incline bench was really hard and barely able to complete the third set. Battle rope really intense, felt good.
Over 200 push ups- that’s insane volume, love it. Over 100 I get devastating muscle soreness next days (but may be I’m too heavy).
What is the purpose of these sets in one breath? I see this method for the first time. Don’t you feel dizzy after this? Can you keep the abdominal pressure for over 15-20 sec? I couldn’t.
