Slothy

I've been back to the gym for a little while now, but have been busy lately so I haven't been as consistent as I'd like. Figured starting a workout log might help to keep me on track to get there at least 3 days a week. Anyone who wants can feel free to post their workouts for the week in the comments as well if they want to partner up to keep each other motivated.

One thing which I won't post every single time is the warmup we do. We always warm up before starting strength work at the gym, but it's the same thing every time. It consists of:

10 burpees
10 air squats
10 lunges
10 chinups
10 pushups
10 situps
2 Turkish get ups with a kettlebell
15 second samson stretch (both sides)

I usually get in one or two rounds depending on how early I get there. I usually do some work on a foam roller to work the tightness out of some problem areas in my legs too so that affects whether I get a second round of warmup in sometimes too.

Anyway, here's my workouts for this week:

Tuesday, June 18th
Strength
Squats (6 sets of 5 reps each)
I realized I lost my journal when I got to the gym so I don't have the weight buildup written down. Went up to 175lbs. on the last set.

Conditioning
5 rounds of:
15 air squats
4 ring rows
4 pushups
Had a time of 9:27

Friday, June 21st
Strength
Deadlift (6 sets of 5 reps)
100, 120, 140, 160, 175, 185

Conditioning
As many rounds as possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes of:
400m run
20 medicine ball situps
10 sumo stance deadlifts at 95lbs.

3 rounds even

This was a team workout so you were paired up with someone and everything was done together. You threw or passed the medicine ball to the other person as you alternated on the situps. I hated running even before I put on some weight so bleh. But having a partner is always cool when it happens since everyone pushes a bit harder. It was a literal race against the clock to finish that third round as I had about 15 seconds to fly through those 10 deadlifts. Made it just under the wire.

Only made it the two times this week, but it felt pretty great. I haven't been back long so I'm still building back up on the weight with strength work. Squats and Deadlifts felt pretty easy this week, but give it another month and that will start to change.
