Due to travel this week, I had to adjust my fitness schedule. There has also been a delay in getting a blog post published.
Thursday’s are typically a run day for 3.5 – 5 miles. Since I was at a hotel there wasn’t a good place to run so I worked out in the gym. There was only dumbbells available so I went through several circuits with various exercises and was able to work up a pretty good seat over about 25 minutes. It was non stop with little rest. This involved shoulders, arms, and abs.
Since we left early Friday to head back on a very long drive I didn’t do my normal Friday workout. I performed my Friday workout on Saturday. This is a pull day. I started with deadlift with a hex bar working up to 260 pounds. Next I did 3 sets of hex bar shrugs at 170 pounds and 3 sets of hex bar rows at 120 pounds.
After that I did 3 sets of Good Mornings with 165 pounds followed by Farmers carry 70 steps with 120 pounds on the hex bar. This is done consecutive. Next, I did a 20 minute AMRAP HiiT routine involving a 400m run, max pull ups, and 60 hammer curls with 15 pounds on each dumbbell. Overall not too bad and was able to get through it. Total workout was about 55 minutes.
Sunday will be a rest day but I will be doing yard work which I will get some steps in and some physical labor. Starting Monday, I will repeat and continue to work. Have great day!
