Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

Did some quick math - if @anna_5588 is walking 30k steps a day and assuming she has just over a 2 foot pace - that’s over 60,000 ft traveled which is close to 12 miles a day.

Equivalent to training for a half marathon…

Which, once again, is why I say honestly would go a long way here.

Week 9: day2

Conditioning: 8x(20sec kickboxing/side+20sec rest)
Push press: 4x2-45lbs
Rows: 4x6/side-45lbs

  • short on time, legs pretty dead but felt good, conditioning got hr up and warmed shoulders and back up, press a LoT harder than expected, needed long rests and killed upper back, rows sucked - in a good way, push-ups NOT happening, I think I’ll need to adjust

@vision1 there is a slightly too low surface I can try for split squats. I’d always done them with my food flat on the surface, but maybe doing them on my toes on the lower surface might help. I’m not giving up that easily :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Week 9: day3- easy day

1- arm push-ups: 3x9/side
45min weighted vest walk-25lbs

  • felt good, push-ups harder than expected but easier than expected to complete, Walk got HR up, harder than expected on cardio but felt lighter than expected

Week9: day4

Sprints: 5x (10m lateral bounding +20m sprint)
4x(5 jumps-25lbs+5shrimp squats/side-25lbs+5 rdls/side)-90 sec rests
2x(15knee tuck crunches+ 10 slow leg drops+ 7 rdls w/3 sec negatives)

  • felt okay going in, hr strangely high (despite good sleep)+ glutes and hamstrings on a semi strike, but felt a lot better after warmup and sprints, giant sets VERY “fun” @alex_uk idk how you handle 10+ sets of this stuff after hard conditioning :sweat_smile:
  • Planned to do 3-4 sets of the core stuff… didn’t happen

Weight: 94.0- on the weird part of the hrt so weight fluctuates, yesterday it was 95.8 after a couple days hovering around 93

Badly!

So… I probably pushed things a bit too far.
Glutes and hamstrings have quit → no coordinations
Hard to stay awake…

Sometimes when I find it hard to stay awake, what I do is - and I know this sounds crazy - I go to sleep. Pretty absurd, I know.

Get out of here with that shit! She’ll injure herself if she rests!

This would be more useful if directed towards my math and econ professors :laughing:

Word of warning - don’t do math tired. Tried that before, it never works out.

yes, spending 20min on a simple seperable equation would prove that…

Week 9: Day 5

Standing press: 2x11/side, 3x10/side, all w/25lb kb
Seated press: 3x7/side, 2x6/side, all w/25lb kb
2x(8 renegade rows/side+5 pushups 3330 tempo)

  • giant sets and conditioning NOT happening!!! took it easy and really got working on press, shoulders dead but felt good, pushups a LOT harder than expected :laughing:

Week 10: Day 1

Sprints: 5x30m
Pistols: 3x4/side-45lbs!
Split squats: 3x(8/side-25lbs, 3111 tempo, 25lbs+30 plank hip dips)

  • wasn’t feeling the best, but not horrible either, loosened up a lot after sprints and very pleasantly surprised w/ pistols, split squats harder than expected, really solid workout

@Voxel @vision1
My recovery has been noticeably better lately!

What are you attributing that to? :slight_smile:

Probably a combo of more food and getting used to the hrt (apparently this is quite common for ppl taking the stuff I’m taking) :relaxed:

Week 10: Day 2

Conditioning: (1kbs-25lbs+2pushups+4kbs+4pushups…+20kbs+20pushups)-7:09
Push press: 1x3/side-45lbs, 3x2/side-45lbs
Rows: 2x(1/side-4/side)-45lbs, low

  • felt good going in, legs not even that dead
  • another workout stolen from @T3hPwnisher. Decided to go lighter, but doubled reps to make up for it. It was easier than expected on cardio- the pushups were honestly the hardest part :woman_shrugging: Kbs were done 1 arm, alternating. Quite disappointed w/ time.
  • press felt surprisingly good. I’m focusing on slowing down the eccentric
  • Rows really really sucked. quite disappointed at how hard

Anna, it’s worth noting that these are just things I do to get blood flowing first thing in the morning. They’re not workouts.

Noted. I was treating it as a short bout of conditioning done before lifting, like what @alex_uk does
