Shane's Over 35 Shenanigans

Well, that sounds like a terrible idea to me, but let me know how it goes. :joy:

Great looking chest session Shane. Very impressive sets and a lot of work overall. Reading your sessions has me thinking about switching it up and isolating different areas on different days again (instead of whole body workouts). Might have to give that a shot on the next cycle.

Thanks Trent. I like it. It is good to switch it up from time to time I guess.

Cardio
Peloton


5 minute cool down.

Ended up doing yardio yesterday. Pulling weeds and bagging old cedar chips in my sons play area prepping for new cedar chips soon.

No deadlifts, and I agree with Trent. Deads after peloton would suck. LoL.

Nice job on the yardio, bike ride and deload session. That’s a bummer about the deadlifts. Really wanted to hear about how terrible it was. :joy:

Solid work today Shane. Nice and strong on everything. I’m trying to do muscle group isolation this cycle. Noticed that you started the week with a pull session. What order are you going in?

I should really take a day off on Saturday but the endurance bike ride really isn’t that bad.

Thanks Shane. Your schedule looks good. I can’t bank on that many days in the gym so I’m going to reduce it to three days of lifting. Might try this:

Monday
Legs, Core, Intervals

Tuesday
Push, Short Metcon

Wednesday
Pull, Short Cardio/Metcon

Thursday
Long Cardio

Friday
Long Metcon

Saturday
12 Ounce Curls

Sunday
12 Ounce Curls

I think that is a very flexible schedule. The only thing I would really want to avoid is a long cardio session (bike, etc.) right after legs. Other than that it should be pretty flexible. Looking forward to trying this. :+1:t2: :+1:t2:

Thanks Trent. I was surprised at how well those DB OHPs felt. Going to push to the 80s next week and see how they go.

LoL at the bike ride. That would be a hell of ride!!
