Week of 10-24-2021
I didn't get to the gym on Saturday. Had a lot of stuff going on. I think with the A B approach allows me flexibility to choose when to workout or not. I'm not in training officially and even if I was I don't feel the pressure to force myself to workout 6 days a week. 4 to 6 is enough. I'm going up in pace for the treadmill time. I did 4.1 two weeks ago, and 4.2 this past week. Starting tomorrow I'll be doing 4.3 which is a 13:57 per mile pace.
Here's what I ended up lifting and got on the treadmill Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The next time will be 4 sets, then 5. I'll see how this works for volume.
A
-
Deads 165x5 for three sets. I ended with 25 second pauses and couldn't hold on last set. I'll drop to 20 second pauses.
Good Mornings 45x10, 10 on second set and 12 on third.
Ham curls 65x10 for 3 sets.
Seated Rows 105x10 for 3 sets, then I think I'll go to 8 or 9 when I increase weight.
Lat Pull downs 80x10 for 3 sets.
Hammer Curls 15x10 for 3 sets.
B -
Squats 145x8, then I dropped to 135x10 for two sets. I'll stick at 135.
Lunges 5x5 for 3 sets.
Incline Bench 110x10 then 105x10, and 95x10. I'll stay at 95 for the first round.
Shoulder press 45x10 for 3 sets.
Lateral raises with cables 10x10 for 3 sets.
Tricep
Pulldowns 40x10 for 3 sets.
I don't know if I just overcalculated for the "B" workout or if I was having a bad day. Either way I'll be staying with this weight through this round. Worst case is that I'll make slower progress. For sure I'll get progress.
Aside from weights I've started working on music more. I've been studying/practicing every day since October 7 and I'll see how long of a streak I can keep going. I think I'm on 17 days now.
KEEP GRINDING!!!
