Proctor Lifting Day 5

 My Apple Watch, unfortunately, died after I completed my first workout. Anyways, I weighed in today at 192.0 lbs and I'm pretty happy with how things are going right now. But today I decided to focus on more hockey-oriented training rather than overall strength training. Hockey-oriented means I'm putting more emphasis on the lower body along with lateral and vertical explosiveness. The name of the game is explosiveness and power. I started with 6
0 minutes of stretching to ensure I'd be less at risk of injury for such intense training. The training was

Plyometrics 1 set:

10 squat jumps

10 split squat jumps

10 box jumps

10 explosive lateral step-ups

5 sets lateral explosive step-ups:

5 reps

4 reps

3 reps

3reps

3reps

5 sets of 5 back squats supersetted with 8 Dumbbell lat pullovers

5 sets of 6 alternating Dumbbell Presses( 12 total) supersetted with 15 elevated hip extensions

5 sets of Dumbell curl to press along with 5 sets of 10 supine rows.

I then completed a Mass Building Finisher:

3 sets of 10 Barbell Shoulder Presses

3 sets of 10 Romanian Deadlifts

3 sets of 10 Dumbbell Chest Flys

3 sets of 10 Dumbbell Curl To Press

This was an intense workout and I could really feel that I was building strength and explosiveness in my legs, and felt worked afterward. For this workout, (2 hours and 54 minutes) I burned 944 active calories and 1,243 total calories. I felt a lot better throughout the day as I made sure to get a good amount of sleep the night before. I feel I accomplished a lot with this workout. I could really feel myself becoming more explosive and strong today. I shifted my focus because I realized that I need to be ready to hit the ice quickly and be as quick and explosive as possible when I get back home from school. After all, I have junior team camps at the end of June. My afternoon activity was used for rolling out and stretching for about an hour and ten minutes. Tomorrow will either be a High-Intensity Interval Training day or a rest day. I feel pretty spent after our first week. Overall during that workout, I burned 1,229 active calories and 2,596 calories. 

Hours: 4

Total Hours: 20

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 3

 Today was another great day in the office for the guys. I weighed in today at 191.8 lbs, so I' my happy I keep losing weight.  Anyways, today was supposed to be a rest day for me in the gym, so in theory, I should have been just stretching. But unfortunately, I couldn't sit still and decided to target my shoulders. My workout was: Standing Presses 4 sets of 8-10 supersetted with 4 sets of 10-12 incline bench lat raises Upright Row 4 sets of 8-10 supersetted with 4 sets of 10-12 seated front raises 3 sets of 10-12 Arnold presses single arm lat raises 3 sets 8-10 DB Shrugs 4 sets of 10-12. I performed these exercises with moderate to lightweight to ensure I performed several sets with a high number of reps. I chose to perform a high number of reps for all these exercises to ensure I really felt a good muscle contraction in my shoulder, and to really fine-tune the mind-muscle connection. I got a lot of burning in. my shoulders and felt really good, I closed it out with 30 minute...

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...
