I’ve also been correcting noticeable hip shift. I just use the typical band thing you see everywhere. Just below my knees works well.

I’m a tad bit high on depth in this video (I think?)

Also trying to work on where I’m looking. Sometimes my eyes shoot all over the place.

Both were PPL days

First day was squat, heavy rows, and AMRAP push-ups.

Wasn’t intentionally trying to test another squat max, but I needed a ballpark for my percentages. Hit a shaky as fuck 345, and saw stars towards the end so I can say 345 is indeed a max.

Rows were kept heavy, but did 5x10

Push ups I like to play around with. Wide,close, medium. Pause reps, etc.

Day two I added some stair walking for like 30 mins or so. Nothing strenuous

All three days were PPL but my usual movements were replaced with Overhead press, Deadlift (conventional, but kept it at 135), lunges and hip thrusts.

Threw in my older volume training of 100 reps each movement. Totaling 400. If I up my volume this much I usually focus on work capacity. Meaning, I’m squeezing in a shit ton of volume, keeping an eye on form, all while hitting a specific time frame.

Was shooting for 35 mins, but finished this workout in 45 mins. Not bad…I guess.

PM cardio

Fucking HATE cardio, but I realize the reason these last 15-20 pounds aren’t going anywhere is because of the 7 years I’ve been training, cardio just…isn’t in there. Cant standing running, but I do it, however these fast little Youtube videos get the job done for when I don’t wanna run inside or outside.

Took a small deload because:

  1. haven’t been eating enough
  2. I’ve been very irritated and upset
  3. Something weird kept going on with my sciatic nerve. Managed to get it resolved with persistent re-hab stuff
  4. Managed to get a UTI from holding my pee at work for hours on end.
  5. I have not been sleeping at all
  6. Because I damn well want to.

LOG #520

Kicked off this week with a shit ton of volume. Slowly creeping strength stuff back in accordingly.

Tweaked a little bit of my high volume stuff to give room for strength/explosive work without being completed gassed.

Essentially everything gets kicked back to 50 reps. Still PPL, but emphasis is being placed on upper body and I will introducing more vertical pulling (ergo…pull-ups.). Considering I’m very bottom heavy most of it will be assisted.

ONE deadlift variation as needed. My back really can’t handle much. Which I respect.

Pushing gets some strength blended in, but with low reps

Legs get usual high volume, cranked back, just a smidge, 70%ish working sets, with an emphasis on explosive movements. (Jumps, sprints, and foot work. Most likely jump rope)

Simple. Can move stuff around if needed.

Pull:
•RDLs, DB, 50s, 5x10. Slow and painful.

Just by sheer weight the 225 was paused because the shit was heavy. Lol.
•speed work: sprints. 6mph 1 min on, 1 min off. 10 mins. Good lord kill me NOW.

Very much appreciated :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

It’s not going all that well if I’m being honest. Between the husband and I. I’m always willing to sit and communicate to the best of my ability. As of late though, he hasn’t really even been wanting to be in the same room as I am. Let alone talk to me.

All I can do is just be there if and when he comes around. I’m not sure what all is going through his head, but right now I’m just doing my best to make sure I myself am okay mentally and emotionally as well. Considering that’s as much as I can do anyways.
