Okay this is the start of my deload cycle. I’m backlogged (again) in workout logs but I feel I should leave a few comments on the deload. The first day of my A deload cycle (for those of you who don’t know) is a period in a workout plan where you deliberately do a lighter […]

I’m very backlogged on workout writeups, but had a fun and productive week. This week was a St. Patty’s day leg workout. Unlike most, I wasn’t just working to burn off calories to justify beer binging, this is one holiday I felt good staying out of. Rocking the luck of the Hyrulians in the gym […]

Quick log for leg day. Was low energy today but somehow pulled it out… daylight savings plus sleeping in late to adjust the sleep schedule for an overnight shift = low pep. Hit a difficult spot on front squats though, which sucked. Front Squat: Tried my best to go for a new max since I […]

Quick log for today’s leg day. Didn’t have much energy going into the workout (had a nap and big yawns all day), but had a ton coming out, so feeling real great. It may not seem like I took it any easier on myself from the writeup, as my rest day log notes I’m trying […]

Okay another quick recap trying to bang these out so this is purely for the record books. Today was leg day. Front Squat: 1. 5 reps @ 135lbs. 2. 5 reps @ 145lbs. 3. 5 reps @ 155lbs. 4. 1 rep @ 165lbs, poor form. Failed 3x to get that rep. Felt like I didn’t […]

Alright continuing light week, leg day! I’ve been looking forward to this since I got the idea for light week, and it was surprisingly hard in practice it was very intense and I felt it really hard afterwards. Which is great! Front Squat: I thought I could do more with a lighter weight, but front […]

Had an intense headache and a bit of nausea going into the workout today so felt really awful. Pretty sure I’m getting sick, which means scaling back the workout a little. That said, I felt I had enough energy to try but I realized rapidly that I didn’t have enough energy to truly put in […]

Okay quick log of yesterday’s leg day at home. Weather was predicting freezing rain starting late, but the notion of getting caught in that away from home sucked so I got errands done and got home early. Warmups: 3 rounds 10x bodyweight squats / 10x mountain climbers (both legs = 1 rep). Just basic stuff […]

Quick log for today, today was leg day, sometimes the hardest day to get myself motivated to get through. As mentioned before, before all listed exercises I do some appropriate warmups. Before starting I also did a neural charge warmup of medicine ball squats and medicine ball spikes for 3 sets, to wake myself up. […]

I’m still in catchup log mode so this will be another short log. As mentioned in the last few logs, I’m no longer listing out my warmup sets, always assume that before the first few listed exercises that I do a standard 1-3 set pattern of warmups relevant to the exercise. So the sets listed […]
