  For this workout I did stretches since my body was really sore and I was already at my girlfriends house. We did a simple 20 min stretch together. It consisted of, dynamic side stretch, neck stretches ,cat cows ,thread the needle x2 for each side, wrist stretch, walk the dog, (deep lunges, runners stretch, lizard poser)x2 for each leg, sphinx, shoulder stretch + spine twister x2 for each shoulder, extended dog pose, butterfly forward pose and lastly one legged forward bend x2 for each leg. Each stretch was done for 30sec-1 min with a 20 sec break. It really helped with my pain and mobility.

 For this workout I did my weekly gym session with my trainer, but slightly longer for 1:20 hours. It was a very intensive workout and a happy day since I hit a new PR. I started today with a warm up of pulling a135 lbs on a sled with my dad (144 lbs) on top then pushing it back to the start. Then I started my workout with bench since last time I nearly had hit a new pr, I warmed up 95 lbs for 10, then jumped to 115 for 10, I took a big 5 min break then tried my PR 135 LBS!!! I was supper focused and squeezed out 8 reps!!!!!!!! Then I worked my way down from that weight back to 95 lbs for 10 reps. I then supper set all my next exercises starting with a chest press machine (25 lbs + machine in each arm) and 2 handed arm curls (40+ bar) for 3 sets and 10 reps each. Then i did flies (65 lbs) and a bicep machine (45 lbs)for another 3 sets and 10 reps. Then I did back rows (105 lbs) combined with tricep pull downs. And then finished with a abs quartet meaning I did 4 exercises (Russian ...

 I did another abs workout today I’m happy to say that I’m being consistant! For this exercise I added in some cardio on top of actually doing abs the reason for this is because I need to burn off some fat. I had heard that doing just abs as workout is not enough to actually get abs especially the bottom few. I had heard that a lot of the fat is carried in the bottom of our stomachs and the only way to burn that off is through cardio on top of targeted I workouts. For that reason I start it off with two minutes of high knees. I then did Russian twists, leg raises, hip raises, flutter kicks, plank knees to elbows, chair sit ups, seated in and outs and finished off with another two minutes of jumping jacks. Each of the exercises other than the two cardio exercises were done until failure or after a little break and then until failure. The reason for this is because there are certain exercises for my abs that I can do for a lot longer and then there are other ones that I really have t...

 My girlfriend has been obsessed with doing stretches. Since last week I had done three workouts my body is really sore this week and my girlfriend saw that I was struggling so she took advantage of the fact that I had to do these blogs and convinced me to do a stretch with her. The stretch was 20 minutes long and targeted your entire body from arms to legs to back etc… . I FEEL LESS OF A MAN. No im just joking it was actually really helpful. It hurt a lot during. The stretch but i feel a lot better now and mobile. I used to stretch quite a bit but have recently gotten lazy and stiff. I now plan to stretch before and after my workout to prevent excessive soreness after workouts. Play also got a lecture for my girlfriend telling me how important stretches wear to prevent injuries and I agree with her.

  It says 7:28  I had a workout with my trainer today from 6:30-7:30 Frequency: we focused on upper body again today since my legs are more developed than my upper body. Each exercise was done for 10 reps and 3 sets. Since the gym equipment helped isolate muscles the 3rd set could be reduced to be done till failure.  Intensity: the intensity for this exercise was definitely more since it was non stop workouts and then we ended the session with a abs/cardio mix. I was exhausted afterwords and almost feel asleep in the car. My heart beat by the end of the session was racing and breathing was fast.  Time: my workout started at 6:30 and ended at 7:30  Type: i dis many exercises, we started with incline dumbbell press, then raised push-ups we that that for 10x3. we then moved onto back as we did a back rowing machine and combined that with a modified dumbbell rows 10x3. We then moved back to chest as we did cable chest flies with a chest press machine 10x3. After tha...
