Barbell Bench Press: 70# - 3 sets/10 reps

Today was Hammer and Chisel Hammer Power with Sagi, 39minutes, 232 calories. I then did X train All Out Low Impact Hiit floor and step mix, 32 minutes, 270 calories. Total time was 72 minutes and calories burned 502. I going to do a quick hiit workout but I checked and tomorrow is power chisel and has weights and some jumping plyo stuff mixed in. Actually the choice is power chisel or chisel balance which I have done once so want to check out the other workout.
Hammer Power was power lifting. Sagi starts you out at light to medium weight and you build into the moves that will be put together later. Then the second half it gets more intense with some heavier weights lifted for 5 reps through he power lifting moves.
It starts out at 10 reps light weight then 10 reps medium weight
overhead press light 10# each hand
overhead press med. 15#
squat light 10# each hand
squat medium 15# each hand
thruster 10's
thruster 15's
change to 5 reps
jack press left 10# each hand
jack press right light 10# each hand
jack press left medium 15# each hand

shrug light 10# ea.
shrug w/ extension med 15# ea.
upright row light 12# ea.
full upright row 15# ea.

full range clean 12# ea.
Round 2
clean and press light 10# ea.10 reps

clean squat press heavy 5 reps 20# ea
clean squat jerk left light 5 reps 10# ea. (they messed me up a bit here because light is lower reps)
clean squat jerk right light 5 reps 10# ea.
clean squat jerk heavy 5 reps 20# ea. ( I am still confused here because the worksheet has one heavy and I know I did something wrong but didn't have time between to look) I think it was light and heavy then light and heavy.
1 arm clean squat jerk light left 10 reps 10#
1 arm clean and squat jerk heavy left 5 reps 17.5#
1 arm clean and squat jerk light right 10 reps 10#
1 arm clean and squat jerk heavy right 5 reps 17.5#
 
Roselyn, yes, I am still liking Hammer and Chisel. It is different and sort of fresh to me from the usual stuff. It took awhile for mine to show up. I was getting worried about it. It stopped in a small town in Texas for several days and seemed to stay every time I checked then I got a message like it was shipped again but from that stop. Maybe weather or something.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #5. Woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose so I really didn't feel like doing anything. But I did and I really didn't give it my all but at least I did it. I will up my vitamins today.

Workout was 54 minutes, ran 3.27 miles and burned 345 calories My treadmill shows that I went up 535 vertical feet. The first challenge is 3 - 4 minute hill climbs.

Diane Sue - That looks like an awesome workout. I can't believe you did all that in 39 minutes. Dang, I wonder if I should order that series?
 
Today I think I mentioned already that I had the option of Chisel Balance which I have already done or Power Chisel which is from the deluxe dvd
along with Chisel 10 minute abs. Power Chisel was 29 minutes , 169 calories ( I was surprised since the worksheets were two pages) and Chisel abs was 11 minutes 61 calories. I added on The Masters Hammer and Chisel cardio free bonus, 17 minutes, 117 calories.
Power Chisel went like this:
a set of 4 reps hold light weight 4 times then a set of a heavy move 10 reps There is an ab work segment thrown in a few times
med ball squat jumps 4 reps hold 4 times 8#
squat heavy 10 reps 40# each hand

bicep curls heavy 17.5# each hand 10 reps
triceps kickbacks 4 reps hold 4 times 10# each hand
triceps kickbacks heavy 15ch hand 10 reps
 
Today I did Biceps & Triceps and had a great workout. I did it in superset fashion. This is what I did:

1:30 rest between each superset.

SS #1
Barbell Curls: 40# - 3 sets/8 reps

Diane Sue - Excellent workout yesterday!!!

Hope you all have great workouts!!!
 
Today was Hammer Conditioning and the optional 15 minute leg hammer from the deluxe workouts. Hammer Conditioning was 29.39 minutes. and I burned 185 calories. The pace kept the heart rate up a bit. Leg Hammer is done with a med ball and I have posted it before. They all use 8# in it. I used 10#. There is someone using a dumbbell as well. This was 18 minutes and calories burned 142. I am counting it as cardio as my heart rate was avg 132/ max 157. I wasn't up for more than that this morning. I am still not feeling well and it has been 16 days since whatever virus I got started. I would think flu but I had a flu shot and only have had a fever at the start of 100. It is seriously dragging me down. Seriously, I have a heavier weight workout coming tomorrow which is Hammer Total Body so I think I need take it easy the rest of the day.
Hammer Conditioning
clock push up crunch- (around the clock push up with a knee in all right then round 2 all left) 12 reps left then
side lunge row 15# each hand all left 12 reps
repeat on right
fly lunge twist ( 1 arm fly, lunge , then pull weight across into a twist)Sagi says go light and uses 8# I used 8 but think maybe 5 would have been more realistic follow this with sumo squat press and repeat on the other side
sumo squat press 15# each hand
burpee, renegade row right left upright row 10# each hand followed by Stiff leg deadlift crunch (1 leg) 15# each hand repeat all switching sides
plank raise tap crunch (this is plank, raise arm crunch across body one side ) followed by reverse lunge curl kickback all on one side 12# each hand Repeat all on the other side
Leg Hammer all done with 10 # med ball squat press
side lunge left
side lunge right
sumo twist
1 leg deadlift to knee crunch rt then repeat on left
step up press (no bench involved like I would have thought by the name)

Debbie, nice workout. You are hitting some nice weights. I really do like supersets.

Roselyn, did your Hammer and Chisel Workouts come yet? I will be curious to see what you think. I like that they really do have a lot of variety in them of training methods.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #2 but my version of it. I'm not sure what Sean was thinking when he did the warm up segment of this workout, it's only 2 minutes long. I do that twice with my version and then the steady state.

Workout was 40 minute, ran 2.73 miles and burned 262 calories although I know it was more than that.

Roselyn - Hope you feel better soon. I had the same thing and it's still sort of lingering.

Diane Sue - Nice workout yesterday!!
 
Today was Total Body Hammer again 43 minutes, 230 calories. They also had the optional 15 minute leg hammer deluxe workout again but, I did not want to do it two days in a row so did 10 minute ab hammer, 13 minutes, 54 calories. I will do the leg hammer workout with Chisel agility or Max Hammer Strength Saturday. Total time 56 minutes and calories burned 286 calories.
Total Body Hammer 10,86 reps 3 moves repeat 10,8,6
bench press same as last time, 10x22.5, 10x 22.5, 10x22.5

Today I worked chest/tris.

I got my hammer and chisel today so I may start that tomorrow, although I did not order the deluxe package so I ordered the extra dvd today since the workouts sound interesting, and you seem to like them Diane Sue, so with my discount it was not bad.

Today I did Chisel Agility 38 minutes, 238 calories. I followed it with Kelly Coffey Athletic Conditioning 2 workout 2 abs and flexibility, 26 minutes, 118 calories. Total time 64 minutes, 356 calories.

Debbie, good workout :)

Roselyn, glad to hear that your workouts arrived. I am sure the coach discount helps a lot. That Deluxe disc was a lot but I am liking it. I could do without a few of the comments on the workouts though.
 
Today I did Hammer Build Up 32 minutes, 152 calories. I followed this with 15 minute leg hammer 18 , minutes using a 10# medicine ball, 18 minutes, 124 calories. Total time 50 minutes, 276 calories. I still think leg hammer is pretty much cardio, as it is the one that is 20 sec slow, 20 seconds med, and 20 sec fast. Heart rate was 129 avg / 152 max . Trying to figure out those food containers but, using recipes makes it kind of difficult. I also tried recipes from Fixate. Some are great and easy to leave or substitute items in them but then I change the container system. I tried adding some of the quinoa and black beans to the recipes that call for them but it really does not agree with me. Paleo has been good so I am trying adjusting some.
Hammer Build Up ( I know I could go heavier but was not sure how this was going to be) 32 minutes and quite a bit of work again)
rnd 1
squat 30 sec 10# med ball
front back lunge 30 sec right 10# med ball;

skull crusher 15# each hand
rnd 7 all 30 seconds
ball plank hold hands on med ball30 sec
ball mountain climber hands on med ball 30 sec
windshield wiper right 8# med ball
windshield wiper left 8# med ball ( I think next time I will use ankle weights or sand weights for this, it is hard to hang onto a big med ball with your feet. I kept dropping it. There is the option to use no weight. ) I can do hanging knee raises with med ball but I generally am holding it between my knees. Maybe I am missing the point.
 
Roselyn I always have problems with the pistol squats. I have to go very light and I never make it down that low. I have only done that one once. The next one has the option of power chisel and 10 minute ab chisel and I took that option. I am into the third week and over this last week it seems I have done a lot of strength work. I have the balance chisel or option coming up in 4 days. I will have to think on it. I really need the balance but it doesn't seem to improve much :)

I meant to mention that today's workout had both Autumn and Sagi in it. I liked it but I also liked the Max Hammer that was the one on the calendar. I just wanted to try the other workout out and it is the one subbed last week for Max Hammer Strength.
 
Today was Hammer Plyometrics I found a hammer chisel/body beast rotation I might try once I do some more hammer, I just love my body beast, so Diane Sue is there some weight lifting or are most of hammer cardio based?
 
Today I did straight sets and had an ok workout. Really not enjoying this rotation, not sure why.

1 minute rest between each set.

Chest & Back

Pushups: 2 sets/12 reps
Barbell Bench Press: 75# - 3 sets/6 reps
Incline Dumbbell Flyes: 25's - sets 8 reps

One Arm Row: 30# - 3 sets/8 reps
Barbell Row: 65# - 3 sets/6 reps
Reverse Flyes: 3 sets/8 reps

Hope you all had a great weekend! Have great workouts today!
