Managed to get 3 Tabata workouts in during the baby’s naps today, then hit a longer but still fast paced general workout while dinner cooks.

New formatting here is kinda rough huh? Been a couple weeks since I’ve updated the log. Have gotten lifting, cardio, and conditioning workouts in in that time. I’ll try to be more consistent here but I have a feeling this will be the trend.

Have shifted over to one lower body workout and two upper body workouts, as the one upper body workout was taking too long. Allows me to hit a couple extra “big movements” and I can knock out things like direct arm work any time during a day.

@QuadQueen Thanks! I’ve definitely been one to procrastinate work outs so the little one is a motivator to get them done when I can!

Man been a while since I’ve updated the log here. Workouts have been happening but they’ve been all over the place as I try to find some semblance of life balance the last handful of months. All things good just been a crazy several months.

New plan for the foreseeable future, bare bones hypertrophy work and cardio. Trying to keep my workouts as close to 30 minutes as possible, will do this until summer time at a minimum and see how I’m responding.

I’m enjoying this kind of workout, and a rotating split, but man am I sick of a home gym these days. These workouts are running longer than I want still, closer to 45 minutes, but a good chunk of it is finagling with stuff. Part of me just wants to start going to a gym again.
