Workout Week 4 Day 1 (Jen)

After working yesterday I went home and was exhausted, I felt like just laying in bed the entire night-but eventually I motivated myself to get up and go to the gym, after a decent meditation session. I was mindful I was being lazy and accepted it and then over came it. The workout was

3 Position Snatch 35, 55,55,55,60,60,60,65,65
Front Squat Warm Ups
-Warm up sets x5 @ 35, 55, 65
-Warm Up sets x3 @ 70, 75
Front Squat x1 with 3 second pause 85, 90, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125

I opted out of doing the core workout, which I should have. I had been at the gym for 2 hours already and was just done and wanted to go home and eat. I also didn’t form role, stretch and do mobility work. I don’t think today will be a gym day, as there is a lot of meal prep I have to do-which I was to tried last night.

Day 1 of the Whole 30 was successful, mostly keeping myself busy is going to make it easy. I’ll be putting time into constructive things like meal prepping, working on the house, and getting outside and walking and playing more pokemongo.

Cheers-Jen

My first lifting workout in what feels like months, but only a few weeks crushed me. In a few short weeks I have lost a bit of volume in the weight I was able to move, and power making it through the movements. I am writing this 2 days after the work out. But my first day back consisted of this:

Bench press 5×10 w/ barbell @ 65lbs
Back Squats 5×5 w/ Barbell @ 95lbs
Box Step ups 40 reps @ 24 inches
Incline press 3×10 w/ 20lbs dumb bells
Goblet squats band above knee 3×10 with 20lbs KB

I do have some stiffness and soreness happening, but it isn’t terrible and will not hold me back from pulling and pushing weight later on in the day.
