    Back after a looooong layoff. Surgery (two herniated discs), followed by laziness, followed by gastro problems, followed by about 30lbs of weight gain over 2 years.

    Started getting back into exercising and eating smarter a few weeks ago. Using Google Fit and a spreadsheet to track, then I remembered this thread. Glad it's still going! Not sure why I have zero posts showing but I'm an old member here.

    Add me. Push me. Beat me up.


    Today:

    Cardio: Nil

    Strength: Legs & Core

    This routine borders on cardio under the "I lift weights faster" concept. One set of each (except the dumbbell squats,) timed, 20-60 seconds rest between exercises; all programmed in an exercise timer app.

    Warmup
    Kettlebell Around the World 10x each direction
    Kettlebell Swing 15x
    Farmer's Walk with Dumbbells - 100 steps

    Legs
    Kettlebell Sumo Squat 12x
    Dumbbell Lunges 6x each leg
    One-Leg Kettlebell Deadlifts 8x each leg
    Dumbbell Step Ups 6x each leg
    Kettlebell Romanian Dead Lift 12x
    Dumbbell Lateral Lunges 8x each leg
    Dumbbell Squats 10x, 8x, 6x, 4x
    Bodyweight Squat Thrusts (aka half burpees) 10x

    Core
    Kettlebell Windmills 6x each side
    Yoga Chair Pose 30 seconds
    Half Turkish Get Up with kettlebell, 5x each side
    Mountain Climbers 15x each leg
    Plank with Shoulder Taps 10x each side
    Long-Arm Crunches 12x
    Plank with Toe Taps 10x each side
    Lying Leg Raises 10x
    Weighted Glute Bridges 10x

    Cooldown
    5 minutes of yoga stretching


    Assessment:
    Sweat like crazy - literally a puddle on the mat. Two clorox wipes to clean up.

    However, I am surprisingly bloated today. Water retention, maybe.

    Cardio: 25min cycling

    Strength:
    - Pec deck (2x20)
    - Incline dumbbell bench press (1x20; 1x12; 1x10; 1x8)
    - Seated dumbbell bench press (1x20; 1x12; 1x10; 1x8)
    - Lying tricep extensions (1x20; 1x12; 1x10; 1x8)
    - Standing cable pressdowns (3x12)

    Assesment: getting stronger slowly. Trying to figure out when is the right time to increase weight. I can bench press 25lb dumbbells up to 15 reps decently, but benching 30lb dumbbells up to even 6 or 8 is difficult and my form suffers noticeably.

    Chicken greek salad for dinner.
