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. 

Hours:5

Total:51

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, s...

Proctor Lifting- Week 2 Reflection

 Another solid week in the books for our lifting crew. Previously, I had never felt such contraction in my muscles I never felt that I was actually hitting the muscle group, but over the last two weeks I can physically feel my legs getting stronger. In addition, I feel more explosive both laterally and vertically and I know my cardio is where it needs to be this time of the year. Each day there’s a heavy focus on the lower body through squats, lunges, and other exercises while also mixing in plenty of upper body work to make sure that is not lagging behind. But make no mistake, the lower body is definitely the priority. I’ve really loved and been proud of how I’ve been able to push through soreness and fatigue in some of my lifts. I am well aware not every lift is going to be perfect and pretty so I am pretty happy with how I’m pushing through adversity and fatigue. The diet was up to par this week, and I’m still burning lots of calories each day. My only complaint would be my wate...
