Proctor Lifting- Day 14

This morning was another solid, lengthy lift for me that felt very good. Again, I took a lengthy amount of time for a dynamic and static stretching warmup. I have noticed when I take a very long time to warmup I feel less sore, and get better results in the gym. From now on, I hope to make this a key part of my lifting at home and wherever I end up. The workout went from 8-10:45 am and consisted of:

5 sets of barbell hang cleans (5 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps)

5 sets of bench presses (5 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps)

5 sets of 10 barbell good mornings (empty bar no weight)

5 sets of 6-8 high incline dumbbell bench presses

5 sets of 8 single leg Romanian dead lifts

5 sets of 8 cable face pulls

Superman’s

Ab work

I burned 698 active calories and 915 total calories during this workout. In addition, I spent an additional two hours finishing my plan, presentation, and senior project paper. What a project and I’m excited that I finished it on a high note.

Proctor Lifting- Week 1 Reflection

What a first week for my senior project, I couldn’t have asked for a more fun week out of my senior project. I got to spend every morning in the gym for as long as I wanted to without any time constraints. Every day would start the same with me and the rest of the group grabbing a complete and solid breakfast from the dining hall. We all would begin lifting anywhere from 8:30-9 AM. Each day I would do about 30 minutes of a dynamic and static stretching warm-up. I wanted to make this a priority because I knew each day I’d be in the gym for two hours or more and injury was always possible. I started off the first few days with a workout plan from Ross that was centered on lifting heavyweight for an overall strength boost. These days were a lot of fun and definitely provided an ego boost while lifting really heavyweight. I started off the week with an intense leg session that lasted a few hours and required a lot of intensity and focus. Each afternoon, my afternoon activity was weight r

Proctor Lifting Day 8

Today was a good day for me and I was in the gym for a long time. I was in the gym today from 8:27-11:30 AM. I put in a lot of work and I could really feel the results. Today was another explosive, intense training day for me. The exercises were as follows: 5 sets of 5 barbell hang cleans 5 sets of 5 bench presses superset with Bodyweight Elevated Hip Extensions 5 sets of 10-15 5 sets of 8 incline Dumbbell bench press superset with 5 sets of 8 Romanian Deadlifts 5 sets of 20 banded back rows superset with 5 sets of 10 Dumbbell reverse fly I then followed up with cardio on the bike: 10 rounds: 1 minute of a jog at 10.0 resistance 1 minute of a sprint at 15.0 resistance I then followed up with an ab circuit. I really felt like today was one of or if not my best day in the gym. I kept the intensity at a high level, I had a high level of energy, and I felt really locked in. The workout lasted for a total of 2 hours and 35 minutes. I burned 1,081 active calories and 1,351 total calories On

Proctor Lifting Day 2

Today started off with a good sign of progress and a testament to the hard work we put in as a group yesterday. I weighed in at 192 lbs this morning, down from 194 lbs yesterday. We started the day off with a nice clean breakfast. We had eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns making sure we had a 50% protein ratio on our plates along with 20% carbs, and we hit our 30% fat target with the eggs on our plates. Today was bench day, and I was pretty tired from yesterday, but we all got after it. I felt good through the first few sets and super-setted my bench press with dumbbell one-arm rows. I got to my highest set of 180 and hoped to accomplish five reps. Last week, I, unfortunately, got only 4. I did accomplish five reps and was pretty stoked about it, but more importantly, other guys were putting up impressive weight as well. Mitchell hit a 205lb bench press for two reps, and we immediately posted it on @proctor_lifting on Instagram. I finished out the workout with incline bench presses, supin
