    Happy Thursday!!!! :)

    Strength: Body Beast Bulk Arms and Hammer Power, really powered through it! loving the powerlifting session!

    Cardio: :) some from my buddies here, just a bit out of each and it makes it perfect for my count! thank you for the offer @robertw486!!!! you are awesome! :)

    Nutrition: Decided to make it a low carb day, so met my protein and fat macros but intentionally kept carbs lower.
    Tomorrow will be last workout of Body Beast Round 4 and end of week 6 of doubles.
    Will be traveling next two weeks, no workouts, and have a small surgery when back, so, I will be out of commission for a while, but counting the days until I can workout again, so I can jump right back in. :)

    Soooo, I've been down with this cold for a few days now but luckily it stayed a cold and didn't make it to my chest. Back to the gym tomorrow. I did get a couple of shortish walks in with the dog yesterday and this morning but I'm not sure I can count it as cardio. B)

    Looking forward to a healthier weekend!

    A couple of hours of slooowwwww and cold bike riding today. 18+ miles. I'll donate some to @MJFSH if she does some strength training for me, and I'll donate some to @luluinca if she still can't get out.

    Assessment: Eating pizza soon. How much depends on how many miles I have to donate to others!

    Good morning and Happy Friday!

    @luluinca Thank you!

    @robertw486 so generous and awesome of you to donate the cardio! but! since I also love pizza, I don't want to take away any of your pizza allowance calories! so, eve tho I extended my strength training, some of it for you :) I still fit in some cardio! for the love of pizza! haha

    Strength: Body Beast Bulk shoulders with Extra reps and sets

    Cardio: H&C Master's Cardio

    Ok, so round 4 of body beast is all wrapped up, mind is ready for going away, I just hope going away and then restrictions after the work, doesn't make me lazy, killing my motivation. I have to lurk in often to keep motivated.
    Stay well all!

    Happy Friday everyone!!!!

    No real cardio to speak of today but I did do this:

    Strength: 30 min calisthenics including good mornings, goblet squats, planks, physio ball pikes and bridges, decline situps/scissors/leg lifts, slow stairmaster. 45 min weight lifting including leg press <single leg warmup 12@ 130 lbs and 10@ 180 lbs, dbl leg 12@ 320 lbs, 10@ 410 lbs, 8@ 460 lbs and 6@ 480 lbs>, front squat <2X5@ 65 lbs, 2X5 @ 75 lbs and 1X5@ 80 lbs>, 3X8 bent over row @75 lbs, 3X10 hip thrust @/55 lbs, 3X10 overhead tricep extension w/15/15 lbs, 3X20 side lunges w/25/25 lbs and 3X10 inner thigh w/100.

    Assessment: Ate a little low all week since I was sick and not getting much exercise.............back on track today though.

    It's so strange how I miss the gym now when I'm forced to take time off. 3 years ago I would have bet anything this would never happen to me!

    Have a great weekend................back in wedding prep mode here.............2 weeks to go!

    Welcome to the group................what the heck is a "wod"............it's probably obvious but I'm clueless here, maybe because I'm "soooo old"......LOL

    Also, if anyone knows anything about shoulder issues please weigh in............my "frozen shoulder" is gone, I have full range of motion back but the pain in shoulder is still about a 7 out of 10 during certain movements. It doesn't hurt just standing still, but adding weight in certain directional movements still "kills"....

    Had a new therapist today and he said it's most likely tendinitis...............okay..........what does that mean? He didn't really answer that question.

    I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get back to where I was...........hmmmmm. I have lots of work arounds but I want to go back in time.............LOL

    Hey so yesterday (Friday) - btw I'm in Australia if you do wonder why my days are off. :smiley:

    Cardio and strength: I did my circuit yesterday.

    Repeat Twice:
    - 30 reps goblet squat with 7kg dumbbell
    - 30 reps lunges (15 each leg) no weight
    - 1 min of step ups
    - 1 min alternating front kicks
    - 30 secs R leg side kicks
    - 30 secs L leg side kicks
    - 30 secs R leg back kicks
    - 30 secs L leg back kicks
    - 1 min hooks (both arms alternating on punching bag)
    - 1 min upper cuts (both arms alternating on punching bag)
    - 1 min cross jabs on punching bag
    - 10 pushups (still doing these on my knees)
    - 20 bicycle crunches
    - 30 crunches
    - 20 reverse crunches

    REST for 2 mins at least
    Rests between exercises - only if I really need - no longer than 30 seconds

    Calories: its a shorter workout than usual so only burnt 323 but I feel like that is a pretty good burn for 39 mins of exercise.

    Assessment: macros on point - actually ate less than I logged because I couldn't finish my dinner (too full). Thumbs up for voluminous food :wink:

    Hey y'all, new to the thread but I love the idea!

    Working today, but afterwards I can't wait to get in the gym!!

    Cardio: 10 minute warm-up on the elliptical--random intervals, reverse mode on, level 9 (~147 cal)

    Strength: It's shoulder and core day!!!
    3x12 Rear delt fly
    3x12 Dropset shoulder press
    3x12 Lateral raises
    3x12 Front raises
    5x20 Weighted ab machine
    5x20 Leg lifts

    Assesment: Today's macros are on point! This past week I've allowed myself little treats and had a refeed day on Wednesday which helped my energy levels a lot, so I'm back to clean macros, but I've not gone over my calories once and my macros have been pretty spot on (except I was 20g too low on my protein last night). Drinking plenty of water and trying to make sure I have a sufficient potassium intake because I was getting sick for a while because it was so low without me realizing it.

    Happy Saturday, all!

    So, I was lazy on Thursday: no run.

    Friday: I cricked my neck badly so avoided weightlifting for the day. Was looking forward to it, but the neck is much better today.

    Today: Cardio: 6 mile run, easy pace. 66 minutes.


    Food: been on track, but scale crept up to 159lb, so need to stay vigilant.

    Happy Saturday all! Welcome Izzy!

    Rest day today, was feeling pretty sore after last nights Krav class. Managed over 16k steps.

    Assessment: five guys burger & stole a few of my sons fries! So yummy. Needless to say although I was under on total daily calories fat macros were far too high & protein way too low.
