Workout: What did you do today?

[Guybrush]

Did squats today for the first time in many weeks. I wasn't actually planning on doing it.. was kinda saving myself for the CrossFit onboarding I was supposed to have today, but the guy's wife slipped and got a head injury and he was with her in the hospital 😐 It sounds terrible, so just hope she's doing okay all things considered.

So I haven't been at the wastewater treatment plant in a while, but was there today. Since I wasn't gonna CrossFit, I thought I'd just try the squats a bit.. so ended up doing a full set in work shirt and jeans 😅 kinda embarrassing, but what the heck.

Later at home, did dips followed by push-ups. I love that combination now. My mammary glands are gonna blow up like Dolly Parton.

Overhead push feels weird, but not in the painful way they used to. Something goes clunk, but I'm real weak with them, so thinking I should get some of that in.

Then ring rows.

There's only one dumbbell exercise in here, so I feel like I save a bit of time on not having to change the weights around, like when I did dumbbell Chest Press, curls and rows.

I do dips followed by pushups but they are triceps pushups, just to finish off my tris after my chest workout if it's a dips week.

Maybe you could try dips followed by flies also.

yesterday I did arms with squats in between sets. It felt really good but I don't think I could keep up with BSS. Those are insanse.

The video shows the drop set of death. You don't have to do that many or in that structure.

You could try bodyweight and three sets of 10 then work your way up.

Rest day today.

Stating the obvious but my tip for the day: drink more water!

Tomorrow, chest and tris. High reps low weights this week.

Push day today. Overhead barbell press, then horizontal pressing. Switched from paused barbell bench press to dumbbells last week. Really milked the stretch at the bottom, even more than last time, and actually did two reps less on the third set but whatever. I'm done chasing progress at the price of execution. Finished with my usual rest pause set of fifty push downs, felt great.

Pasting from my log, I did:

• Dips
• Push-Ups
• Inverted Rows
• Kneeling Ab Wheel Roll-Outs
• Overhead Press
• Curls
• Standing Calf Raises

Despite doing a lot to failure, I still don't feel much DOMS from these sessions, but the soreness from Tuesday's squat session is pretty gnarly. I've been hobbling around like a geriatric.

@jimmy jazz @grindy I'm probably going to feel like a very silly goose, but what is the "h word"? I'm lost, haha.

[grindy]

Hypertrophy. Jj once said, he hates the word, so now I'm censoring it.

[Lexi Darling]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

[Guybrush]

It's a little ironic as he seems to be the most hypertrophied of anyone here.

But I guess it may also represent a common obsession of arguable value.

Ran my 4th ever 5km today and I set a PB of 33 mins 27 seconds. It's not the quickest but one of my goals for this year was to run a 5km in under 35 minutes and with how inconsistent I've been throughout February I didn't think I'd be ticking it off my list any time soon. I'm delighted!!

Nice! Congratulations @FETCHER. 😊

Had my CrossFit onboarding today, finally.

The guy who was supposed to do it, his wife fell and hit her head. I may have mentioned it already. Today, I learned her hitting her head wasn't her biggest problem. Instead, it was the flesh eating bacteria that had infected her hand after she got a small cut from her fall. So that's what might happen if you scratch yourself in a danish aquapark 😱

Apparently it nearly killed her. Hope it turns alright.

For onboarding, I went through some common exercises with the superman who runs the gym. My squat form was good, but he suggested a wider stance. My deadlift was perfect, no corrections (Thanks, Nippard). We also did some pull-ups, situps, Overhead press, front squat and some other stuff. Finally, it was all thrown together as a workout.

He seemed to think I was in good shape. I think I'm relatively strong now for a beginner - like I can do a few pull-ups etc. BUT I have no stamina, so my cardio is pitiful.

So now I'm considering doing some jump rope interval training 😄 and perhaps do more of my TV watching on the treadmill.

[jimmy jazz]

Have you done any high rep workouts? That will help too. It's also a nice change.

I want someone to try that workout I posted of Scooby. And get back to me how you found it.
