What Was Your Work Out Today?

3 mile run, 100 arm (each) curls with 2.5 pound dumbbells, 3 one-minute forearm planks! Happy July, y'all!

I gave blood today so I confined myself to an hour of walking around hunting Pokemon' with my kids.

* 3 mile run
* 5 one-minute forearm planks
* 10 minute toned arms workout video

Anyone else doing gymnastic bodies.com? I really enjoy the work out progressions so far. Working out where you have fun is the way to go.

PHUL Upper hypertrophy day
Couple of walks ....16K steps
Quick 10 min upper body body weight workout on Adaptiv.

I{ missed my early morning yoga, as I ended working until 2 a.m. and was still asleep at 7 a.m.

I hangboarded yesterday. The full session was:

• Warm up 4 mile walk
• Hang board warm up Scapular activations, pull ups, easy hangs on jugs (10 seconds on 10 seconds off), 5 seconds on 20 seconds off on 20mm ledge
• Main session 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 3 sets of 5 reps, 20mm ledge. 3 hand open crimp, 10 seconds single, 3 sets, 20mm ledge. 15 seconds max duration hand on 15mm ledge, which I'm pretty sure is a World Record. An attempt at 5 seconds repeaters on the 15mm - after 2 reps, my form suffered, so I called it.
• Bent over rows 3 sets of 5, 60kgs
• Overhead press 3 sets of 5, 30 kgs
• Bench 3 sets of 5, 55 kgs
• Core 3 sets of 8 hanging leg raises, 3 rounds of baby shark ab workout.

The session was around 2 to 2.5 hours if one excludes the initial walk.

Headed out to golf this morning with my sons. I haven’t been on a course in LITERALLY 27 years.

Today’s workout will be cussing, swearing, and searching for golf balls in the rough. Or other people’s fairways. Or parking lots,,,,,

I have started hitting balls again (no actual golf just yet). Aside from one scramble with some buddies at my 35th year High School reunion, I haven't played in decades. I was a bogey golfer in college but as the driving range is showing me, it's a lot more about consistency. The course from the movie Tin Cup is around 40 minutes from my house. They used like 3 courses for that movie, but the most famous scene, where he's trying to go over that water hole -- that one is just South of Tucson. They built the water hazard just for that movie. It actually has free roaming Longhorn Steer on the course as you play! Talk about a hazard! But it is also one of the most beautiful courses I've ever seen.

Did another "power" rowing workout today -- 18 X 20 seconds/1 minute rest. Was supposed to be 20 reps but HR wasn't coming down the way I like to see it after the 18th rep. My rule of thumb is if it hasn't dropped into the 140s by the time I'm supposed to start the next rep, don't do it. Don't need to cause a heart attack doing this hard of work. No sense in pushing it stupidly hard. My pace went down nearly a full second from last time, but with two less reps. Did a 1000m rowing warmup and a 15 minute C/D on the Air Bike. 368 was my average Watts on the rowing intervals.

In addition to cussing, swearing, and searching you might want to add being patient because in my opinion it's about the most boring sport ever and I cannot believe people actually enjoy it. Maybe it's for the socialization aspect of it that people do if more than once. Nonetheless have fun with your sons, cherish the seconds, make beautiful memories and cuss under your breath if you can, hahaha.

Little too much legs, probs did not need to add a hamstring exercise. But rallied and biked and walked a little today.

2km inclined treadmill run. Weights. Row machine. Took the dogs for a run. Mowing. Weeding the gardens and house cleaning. I’ll just go and die now 😂

Lately been mostly doing jump rope and yoga. Recovering from golfer’s elbow has put pull-ups and handstand push-ups on hold. To bridge the gap I have been doing dead hangs and static handstand wall holds instead.

Yesterday, I climbed. The full session was;

Non climbing warm ups Dynamic stretches, skipping, band stuff

Hangboard warm up Scapular activations, pull ups on jugs, 10 second repeaters on jugs, 5 second repeaters on 18mm.

Climbing warm up 4 easy routes

Climbing 2 boulders with 6 hard moves each. 2 boulders which were back-to-back dynos. 4 sets of limit moves, trying to stay on the wall as long as possible.

Forearm prehab/rehab Light dumbbell stuff to try to stave off tendonitis.

Core I did 2 sets of 12 hollow holds, which were brutal.

Today, I also climbed. I did an hour's yoga at 10 a.m., and climbed after lunch.

Warm ups Exactly the same as Saturday.

Climbing Dyno practice. Projecting - trying hard boulders. I actually got one of the two projects, I guess after around a month of falling off it. Drills, including pogo practice and moving like a robot (you can only move one thing - limb or body - at a time,).

Finger curls Worked up to 3 sets of 6, 60kgs.

Leg Day
5X5 Back Squat (80-85% max)
4X8 RDL (75% Max)
4X8 Forward Lunges
4X8 Hack Squat (75% Max)
4X20 Calf Raises (75% Max)
3X20 Hip Adduction Machine
3X12 Ab Crunches
30 Minute Moderate Walk
I just finished with a month of a 5X5 program that was whole body 3 days a week. Can say that this kicked my butt this morning given the focus, but feels great. Add in 20 min of mobility work and it was a solid day of work.

For any of my out of work or friends with more time...is anyone else bored exercising?

I exercise every day and sometimes when I am not feeling it, the sessions seem to last forever. I hate those days! haha and I am semi-retired so I have all the time in the world.

Kind of lol but what else is there to do??

Couple of walks at work, followed by a very short bike ride.
