Good morning! I woke up nice and early and refreshed so I was able to do a long-ish workout.
Glutes/Triceps/Shoulders. I'll break it down:
Clams (warm up; 20 each side);
Hip Thursts (3x25 from the floor with a #70 barball);
Deep front squats (3x20 with 1 35# dumbbell);
Straight leg dead lifts (to the knees, not from the floor; 2 35# dumbbells).
Standing cable roations (3x25)
Standing cable abductions (3x25);
Band walks (front and back until I couldn't do any more!).
Time: approximately 45 minutes.
I followed that with Triceps and Shoulders from Burnsets.
Tomorrow I will do Chest (Burnsets) and another round of glutes, but tomorrow glutes will be single-leg work (elevated lunges, single leg glute bridge, single leg dead lifts, single leg back extensions as well as kneeling cable rotations, and hamstring kickbacks.
I am waiting until the weekend to start Meso2; finally I'll be able to experience what you all have already experienced!
Tash,
Woo hoo! Congrats on your pull-up/dip station! That will be awesome!
I know what you mean, too, about getting used to feeling dry and refreshed after a hard workout! The Glute program started out like that for me but after a while I took it to my own next level... did twice the amount of work. It's paying off, though
It's cool that you're doing the deadlifts from the floor
You're very inspiring! Currently after my last set of hip thrusts I have to lift the 70# barbell off the floor v-e-r-y carefully and only once.
Heartymax,
I had no idea that it was Mothers/Daughters! That is so cute! Don't even worry about that, you did not embarrass yourself! In fact, when I saw you in the center I just thought it was awesome that you were out there with a group! Had we not gotten separated I would have gone out there, too! LOL! And I know I've mentioned it before but it was so wonderful to finally meet you!
I think it would be fine for DS15 to have the Cliff Builder protein bar or the Energy bar. He needs both energy and protein because he's busy and an athlete; he needs to be able to focus especially when he's active. You may want to consider taking him to a nutritionist to see what might be ideal for him.
I just looked up the Cliff ingredients and they look nutritious.
By the way, I had no trouble eating my entire Builder's bar! They do have a Builder's bar Mini which is half of everything. Also, I really like the peanutbutter
Balance bars. Just the regular ones, not the Gold Standard or other specialty Balance bars. They have a Balanced caloric ratio -- 40% of calories from carbohydrates, 30% from protein and 30% from dietary fat -- about 15 grams of protein.
Toni,
How is the Gecko?!
Gotta get - have an awesome day!
