Squat day, Jack, to kick off the next 3 week cycle!
Jack and Jill went up the hill...
Ah dammit, sorry! My mind wandered for a minute. Where was I?
Oh yeah, squat day!
Barbell squats to start it off. I eventually worked up a little heavier than I have been going, just a little heavier, and kept it at 5 reps. I moved down to my previous 11 rep weight and hit that for 10... that was all in the tank for today. 6 total sets, maybe 50 total reps.
Barbell rows for the back. I really like doing those after either dead lifts or squats as the low back is already ready to go. 3x10 for the win.
Then I tried to setup the thing-a-ma-bob with the pipe pictured above. Short story: gonna need to monkey with it a bit. Did not use today, but it is coming.
Did calf raises, just grabbed a couple of 60s and did calf raises off the block. 3x20'ish or so.
Leg extensions semi-super setted with leg curls 4 sets of each, progressively heavier 8 to 15 reps.
Hip thrusters off the bag, 3x10 with a little heavier weight.
No HIIT, but I did jog a half mile, walk 2 minutes, then jog another half for something resembling LISS (though I did hit peak heart rate towards the end, so maybe not entirely LISSy either).
Now, chilling and The Wife is making some shrimp penne pasta, very much like the chicken version she made last week.
I WOULD watch football, but I think tonight's game will be... not good.
But life IS good, y'all!
