Thursday Workout

big things going on this week! And I swear, Jason is trying to kill me, and make sure everyone sees it happen :)

Today Jason sent me a workout that is a continuance of the "bring mayu to her knees, flailing into a tiny pile of pain" theme for this week. So many squats, preceded by so many lifts.  I am a lucky girl though, because he came by and helped coach me through the first half of the barbell portion, because he is the coolest!  And it made me feel a lot more confident especially being in the Free Weight Room (shudder) with all the big guys. But by the time I was lifting 90 pounds over my head, they would have backed off anyways!

So, here is the workout for today. I do not recommend this if you have never lifted before. (Insert television disclaimer here: do not try this unless you know what you are doing!)

Workout:
Warm-up 
Hindu squat- 50
Hindu pushup 25
Back bridge- 60sec hold
Cossack squat 20

clean and press- 60-10, 70-8, 80-5, 90-3
Kb swing- 45(blue) 3x15/15
Front squat 50-12, 70-2x8
Tuck Jump- 3x12
Plank to Pushup- 2x10
V-ups- 3x12

Tuesday workout

Work has been ridiculous. So I had to postpone training day AND do my own workout much later than usual. So this is what I came up with:

Walkout pushup -10

3pt lunge -6/6

Forearm plank - 30seconds

2x

Workout

Tuck jump -15

Swings 45lb kb - 10/10

Goblet squat 35lb kb -12

Pistol squat -10/10

3x

Vups -20

Bicycle crunch -10/10

Side Plank drop & reach through -10/10

Enough to work up a good sweat, but not too strenuous for a tired little body.

Workout - LEGS day

Apparently it is definitely legs day, and J sent me a workout before I even had a chance to ask! He's the best!!  I kinda had a feeling it would be legs day, since we did so much arms on Tuesday. Not on purpose, it's just that my legs are so lazy and are more than happy to let my arms do all the work, about which I constantly verbally berate them...out loud...in public...with gestures. And Tuesday was no exception. So I knew that their time was up, and this is what J sent me:

Warm up

Hindu pushup 20

Hindu Squats 40

Back Bridge- 45sec hold

2x

Workout

Man Maker 2x17.5 10 reps

Jump squat 2x30 15reps

2 hand swing to Squat 16kg 12 reps

3pt lunge 2x17.5 8/8 reps

Tuck Jump 15 reps

3x

Abs

Swivel 20 reps

V-ups- 20 reps

Bicycle crunch 20 reps

Superman 20 reps

3x

This nearly killed me, but I've definitely had it worse :) felt really good to lift with the big boys again, haha. I gathered all the weights I needed and I think maybe some of the guys there had to choose bigger weights than what they were going to use, mwahahahaaaa

Look ma, no trainer!

This week I had to go it alone because J is so busy with his fancy new Fitness Manager title, so I had to see if I can do this by myself (and got a good preview of what life will be like when I tragically run out of training sessions)

I've basically just been picking bits from all the old workouts I've collected over the year, with cardio thrown in between. Today I was already feeling sore from my previous workout, especially in my hamstrings and shoulders, so what better way to recover than workout harder? (Actually, I've noticed that it does help when you're a little sore to workout again. I mean I'm not a doctor, but I know things)

They say that working out with friends is easier than going alone, and without J around to help me this week, I had to call on my old buddies to keep me company. Have I introduced you yet?? Here they are:

My three amigos. On the left is "my buddy" aka orange (aka 25lbs), in the middle is "the bruiser" aka 16kg (aka 35 lbs) and on the right is the infamous "blue bell of doom" aka the 45lb bell, aka the one that broke me. (we've made up since then)

And yes I hoarded them all for myself. Not that anyone needed them, no one else used them the rest of the night! Guess the guys were too intimidated to try after seeing what I can do with them (oh goodness, J has created a little monster)

Today's workout was a doozy. And I chose it. And I'm crazy. I don't think I'll be able to move this weekend. 

Warmup

Walkout pushups 10

Three point lunge 6/6

Forearm Plank 30 seconds

2x

3x

turkish getup 25lb bell 5/5

And i'm dead.  I showed this to J as he was leaving and he says "you don't need me anymore!" ....well yeah, but, but.

::whimper::

For an extra treat, I got a bonus round of yoga since my friend was subbing the class tonight! I'm definitely rusty (and was already pretty beat up by the kettlebells), but it was so good to take a break from strength training to focus on stretching and balance.

I think the sauna will be quite necessary tomorrow.
