Proctor Lifting Day 9

 Today was quite an interesting day for me. I started the day with a 192.4-pound weigh-in and felt proud of myself for the work I put in yesterday. Today I was pretty sore, I'm pretty sure I'm not hydrating enough, but I know I'm hitting the 8-hour mark for sleep. I started the day off with a good breakfast, and then I took a 15-minute ice bath to curb some of my soreness. Today my workout was an arm day with metabolic conditioning and an ab circuit. 

4 sets of 8-10 EZ Bar Curls Superset with 4 sets of 8-10 Preacher Curls

 4 sets of 8-10 Cable Rope Extensions superset with 4 sets of 8-10 standing curls 

3 sets of 8-10 skull crushers superset with 3 sets of 8-10 Hammer Curls

3 sets of 10-12 overhead cable extensions 3 sets of 10-12 close-grip underhand curls

Metabolic Conditioning: 5 sets

10 Dumbbell One Arm Hang Snatches

12 Dumbbell Goblet Squats

5 per arm Dumbbell One-Arm Standing Press

8 per arm Dumbbell One-Arm Row

I followed this up with 30 minutes of Abs and 20 minutes of mobility. Overall my morning work lasted from about 8:45 to 11:30. Overall, I worked a lot on my breathing while stretching because I'm trying to reach a state where I'm not sore, as my lower back and glutes are carrying heavy burdens. I burned 515 active calories and 651 total calories during my workout. This was a pretty low-intensity day so I'm not too worried that I didn't burn 1,000 like I have been. Overall, on the day I have burned 999 active calories and 2,777 active calories. During my afternoon activity, I took a nap because I felt pretty fatigued and felt I needed recovery. I really need to get my hydration locked in or I will get injured. Onto Day 10.

    Some of your supersets are antagonistic muscle groups and others are working the same groups. What's the thinking there?

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 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 T...

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*
