Workout: 5:40-6:30am

Garage gym has been kind to us. Iā€™m loving the environment, and it feels good to not have to travel anywhere to workout. The limiting equipment is nice because it forces us to simplify things.

Wake Up: 5am

Song of the Day: Long Train Running (Doobie Bros)

Workout: 5:20-6am
Me:

  • Incline Bench Press - 4x12@125 (Roughly 3-0-1-0)/1xAMRAP@85 (1-0-1-0)
  • Lateral Raise - 4x12@25/1xAMRAP@10
  • Skullcrusher - 4x10@75/1xAMRAP@35 (These used to hurt my elbows, but I believe this was due to poor form and perhaps tendonitis in my elbows at the time)

GF:

  • Incline DB Press - 4x5@12.5
  • Lateral Raise - 4x12@5
  • Skullcrusher - 4x12@10

This was a solid workout with a ridiculous pump. Feels good to do some pressing and to up the volume a bit. Painless skullcrushers was a great win.

@burnur I should probably do that, but it turned into more time dedicated to breakfast lol

Previous Workouts:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KIl_OlRN7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Workout: 5:30-6:20am
Me:

  • Squat - 4x8-12/Cluster@185
  • TBDL - 4x8-12@125
  • Zercher Squat - 4x8-12@135
  • Band Pullapart - 100

  • Squat - 4x8-12@35
  • KB Deadlift - 4x4-6@35
  • Goblet Squat - 3x8-12@10
  • Band Pullapart - 100

This workout was intense. I loved it. GF not so much.

On a side note, I realized that I might be screwing myself over with a particularly bad habit I have. I always have super short rest periods (30s - 1min) because Iā€™m super impatient. I have recently learned how detrimental that is to my GAINZ. I will be resting roughly 3 minutes between sets in an effort to reclaim some of my rightful progress. I already do band pullaparts between sets, but I will probably do calf raises as well to kill that time.

Homegym is my sanctuary. Iā€™ll try to think of a name for it soon.
