Wellness Wednesday

UH OH! It looks like Squarespace didnt push this post to all my social media accounts! Anyways here you go :) Hope you enjoy.

 

So, this will be my first time doing this type of post, but I thought I would share at least one of my workouts with you.  

I typically work out 5 days a week and take the weekends off.  

If anyone wants to follow along with my workouts, feel free to send me an email and I'll send you my daily workout :)

 

Today is my deadlift day... 

I will usually warm up with some walking and stretching then start my workout. 

Here is what I did after that. 

 

For all these movements try to use straight grip. If your grip starts to fail go ahead and use switch grip.  

Deadlift warmup

  • Set 1: 5 reps of 135
  • Set 2: 5 reps of 135
  • Set 3: 5 reps of 135

Deadlift

  • Set 1: 5 reps of 225
  • Set 2: 5 reps of 315
  • Set 3: 5 reps of 385

Straight Leg Deadlift

  • Set 1: 8 reps 225
  • Set 2: 8 reps 225
  • Set 3: 8 reps 225

Olympic Bar Rows  

  • Set 1: 8 reps 135
  • Set 2: 8 reps 135
  • Set 3: 8 reps 135
  • Set 4: 8 reps 135

Heavy Shrugs  

  • Set 1: 5 reps 315
  • Set 2: 5 reps 315
  • Set 3: 5 reps 315  

Good Mornings

  • Set 1: 8 reps 135
  • Set 2: 8 reps 135
  • Set 3: 8 reps 135

Superset the next two workouts.  

Lat Bar Pulldown

  • Set 1: 8 reps of 120
  • Set 2: 8 reps of 120
  • Set 3: 8 reps of 120

Chin-ups  

  • Set 1: 8 reps  
  • Set 2: 8 reps
  • Set 3: 8 reps  

This next workout is optional, but I really enjoy it. PLUS it can improve your grip strength. All you need to do is hang on the chin-up bar for 5 minutes.  You can break it up into something manageable, but I found that 1 minute sets work best. 

Hanging

  • Set 1: 1 minute  
  • Set 2: 1 minute  
  • Set 3: 1 minute  
  • Set 4: 1 minute  
  • Set 5: 1 minute  

Hopefully you don't have a desk job because you sure won't be able to type after hanging

 

I hope you enjoyed this post!
