4 sets DB OHP. 10,10,9,8 with 30s. Not sure if it is poor coordination or I have underestimated the core part of this but man these are way harder with 2 dbs than 1. Was shooting for 4x10.
3xSS.
12,12,10(+2) 2db bent over rows with 30s.
2xSS.
15,7 2db curls with 20s
12(+3), 9(+6) lateral raises with 10s
2xSS.
Band pulls apart.
Light band pushdowns.
Wasnt really counting on these.
Today I did.
Goblet squats. Work up to one PR set (try to stop just before core/bracing goes to hell and reps get shitty). Managed 16 reps which I think is a PR.
Lunges with slider for nonworking leg. 4 sets with 2x20lb dbs. 10/10/10/12 reps. Working up to 4x15 before increasing load. Man my right leg is weak
3xSS. Sliders body saw (12,11,7 stopping when I cant keep from feeling it in my back) and hamstring curls (15/12/11 pushing pretty hard)
A couple sets of band good mornings. Still getting the hang of this, keeping it very light, so for now I dont think it’s doing much besides stretching hamstrings
4 sets. Bridge press with DBs (50s).
10/10/10/6 reps. I dont know if I’m going to keep doing these. Definitely not with this weight. Got tweaked a couple times trying to get into and out of position. Might have to do one arm at a time, or just pushups or band press or something.
3 sets. one arm KB rows from floor. (16kg)
23/16/12 each arm. Left arm first, match on right arm. But I think these might be close enough together now that whatever arm I do first wins, because I had to briefly pause before last couple reps.
2xSS with 2x15DBs
Skull crushers 14/7
Upright row 15/8
A couple sets of y raise sword pull whatever thing, and hammer curls with bands. Stayed pretty light on these. Mostly to make sure my biceps was ok after the shitshow that was bridge press.
My right shoulder didnt like something that happened here. Some soreness in ac joint a few hrs later. I think it may have been the upright rows so I’m dropping them next time to see if that helps.
Not training today but heres what I did yesterday.
First, 2DB power cleans. Still getting the hang of these so not pushing it too hard yet. Went up to a triple with 50s.
One leg squats with ball/wall to keep from falling backward. 4 sets of 5 each leg. These were pretty hard on the right side.
Then, I tried to do death march with dumbbells but it was pretty awkward. Got into a nice groove doing similar, but with step backward. Sort of like reverse lunge vs walking lunge. 3 sets of 10 on each leg.
Insisted on training tonight even though i hate doing it in the evening. The price of not being able to yesterday or earlier in the day (basement flooding, yay)
Goblet squat@75. 15 reps. Little disappointed not to pr, lost positioning and didnt want to strengthfuck a couple more bad reps just to beat 16. I think I am capable of it even at my current fitness though
Sliding lunges with 20lb dbs
4x12 each leg. More reps next time
3xSs
Body saw (14/10/7) and ham curls (16/12/10). Honestly kind of went through the motions on these =/
Bridge press with 2DB@50s
10/10/9/7.
Found a safer but more tiring and awkward way to set up for these. Might just try a single db floor press instead next time.
KB rows@16kg
26L/23+3R (+ is a brief pause)
15L/15R
14L/14R.
Improved by few reps since last time.
2xSS.
2db Skullcrushers (15lb offset load) 13/7
Six way shoulders ?/10
Replaced upright row from last time. Failed at counting in first set of 6way I think it was in the 9-12 range maybe.
Single leg squat with wall/ball. 4x6 each leg. Going to increase reps slowly here. Knee did not like last time (4x5) but this went better.
Reverse rdl lunges. 4x10 each leg with 30s.
Finally starting to feel like we are getting a flow with caring for our daughter.
Sleep isnt optimal, I dont think that can be helped until we dont have to feed her so many times a day.
Food is improving, we are finally usually remembering to feed ourselves a few times each day. Still doing mostly takeout though
Also finally starting to feel interested in training again. Was thinking of shooting for two 20-minute sessions each day. One would be a PR set on one lift, the second would be something like a superset. And those would maybe have some mobility / stretching /band work mixed in.
This isnt that different than what I was doing (and liking) before, but split into two sessions. With interest in going back to one session once the feedings aren’t so close together.
Ok. Been gone for a while. I underestimated how draining newborn parenthood would be, especially when coupled with returning to work. Good news is, my daughter seems to be growing healthfully now and I think is even starting to sleep just a little longer at night.
Anyway, today I decided enough was enough and I’m going to do something for at least 20-30 mins a day. I know I can do that much.
2db ohp. Worked up to 12@30s. Would like to keep going 8-12 on top set.
2db z press. 10@20s. Probably do a few sets of this next time.
Kb row. 24, 14, 10@35 each arm. Probably move to db and increase load once reps get higher.
