Proctor Lifting Day 4

 Today I weighed in at 192.2 lbs. I'm not mad about it because I do expect my weight to fluctuate here and there, and you have to learn how to roll with the punches. Anyways, today was a grind for me and I'm starting to feel exhausted. I can admit I am not sleeping enough, and am not perfect on hydration. Today was deadlift day and I performed :

9 heavy sets of deadlifts (maxed out at 330 lbs on set 8, and dropsetted on set 9)

3 sets of 5-10 box squats- 245 lbs 

walking lunges 20 steps with an 80 lb weighted bag

hand-eye-coordination and ball tracking drills

That session was 2 hours and 45 minutes, the longest session I've had of the week. Mostly because I was resting a lot in between deadlift sets. I felt good, but I need to be resting more. I recovered and showed up for my afternoon activity (weight room).  I don't know why but I decided I wanted intense cardio. 

HIIT Circuit:

Running On treadmill Jog at 6.0 speed (1 minute) Sprint at 10.0 speed (1 minute)-10 rounds 

This generated a very high heart rate and got me sweating a lot. It was hard work and burned 512 active calories, and 612 calories total. The running was 25 minutes, and for the rest of the afternoon I stretched and rolled out for the 50 minutes I had left. Overall on the day, I burned 1,563 active calories and 3,048 total calories. Back at it hopefully well-rested tomorrow!

Hours: 4

Total: 16

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...

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 Day 6

 Today was a good old-fashioned rest day for me. I put a lot of strain on my body this week, and it was nice to sleep late, and just rest. I kept my meals pretty clean despite the abundance of unhealthy foods Proctor has on Saturdays. Anyways, I got a nice game of softball in with some of my friends and walked to the swinging bridge of a quick swim. It was good to mentally reset and get a good physical rest. Tomorrow I plan to work on agility and endurance with a treadmill circuit along with an ab workout. I also did some research on the nutrition front and have begun the process of creating my dietary plan and workout plans. I spent about an hour on each subject. Hours: 2 Total Hours: 22 Note: *Water with protein powder for dinner*
