What exactly are you doing for warmup? I went back a few pages but I didn't see anything.

And if I remember correctly, the cat avatars were the kiki club insignia. lol
 
I don't think I have ever written it out in this journal. I basically warm up every part of the body...here goes:

10 glute bridges
6 unilateral glute bridge each side
8 cook hip lift each side
10 high knee walks each side
10 straight leg walk each side
20 butt kickers each side
6 lunges each side with overhead extension
10 x-band walks each side
5 deep forward lunge, hands to floor, side lunge, then squat with elbows inside forcing abduction of the hip
5 lateral lunges each side
15 squats with light band around knees to help active hip abductors
10 quad stretch walks each side
12 calve stretch wall-dorsi flexion each side
12 active isolated stretch on TFL each side
25 dynamic chest stretches
5 circumduction swings each should
10 scap push ups
5 regular push ups
3 chin ups
5 YTWL of each movement

annnnd, I'm done. Everything in there has a specific reason. After that warm up I feel very physically & mentally prepared. I really get sick of it at times, but it helps my training a lot and I haven't been injured in a long long time.

Oh btw, the warm up I just listed is only done on lower body days. On upper days I start with the chest stretches and on, plus the glute bridge stuff.
 
I work up a good heart rate and sweat with that, but after I do I feel much more in the zone for training. It wakes me up.

wow
 
Warming up is good, helps prepare the body & mind for heavy work, as well as prevent injury. The only reason why I put up with such a long warm up is that it works.

quick stretch (doing yoga later, so no need to stretch too much post workout)

Today was a success. I wasn't sure how my body would feel week 2 into this cutting diet, but my strength held up very well.

Running was tough, but also went well. Mentally it is easier for me to go balls to the wall for 1 minute, than a moderate pace for a mile. Sometimes my mind just isn't in it unless I am going ape shit.
 
I'm the same way with sprinting vs. a moderate pace. Nice pressing and chins.
 
Today -

Holy shit, today was a tough workout, especially those intervals. I was feeling a bit sluggish today, but I'll pulled my shit together for all my sets.
 
I have been adding a few your exercises to my routine. like the hanging power cleans Started @ 135 but I am sure I will work that up

Got you "poop in a group" huh

Nice. Hang cleans are a very technical lift, always good to start light and slowly work yourself up.

poop in a ground? lol, sounds fun, what I don't know what that means.
 
Yeah, I like your routine a lot too and cleans are the shit.

I felt unusually strong during the weight lifting portion of this workout. I wasn't feeling the running so much, but I sucked it up and did it.

warm up

So, I changed up today's workout. Over the past week I'd been thinking about hitting a 1 mile run PR, which would be anything under 6 minutes and 27 seconds. I knew that I was right there with my conditioning and I could really go for this PR any time now. The thought was in my mind and I've been getting very nervous about it because I know I can do it, but it is going to hurt. Basically, I have no excuse to not hit a PR other than I couldn't will myself through the discomfort.

Anyway, I didn't actually plan on running till I got halfway through my warm up, but I realized I was feeling very light and springy today, so I made up my mind to go for the PR.

treadmill -
incline: 0.0
speed: 10 mph (6 minutes per mile pace)
1 mile ran PR

front squat -
4x6 195 lbs

weighted hyper extension -
3x10 +50 lbs PR

stretch

Awesome workout! It is extremely rare that I change up my workout on the go, but I got so anxious/excited about hitting a PR my mind was made up. I didn't how know the front squatting would go afterwards, but it went fine. I don't know why I have been feeling so good physically during this cut. I even just cut my calories down to 3000 from 3200 per day a couple days ago.

The running honestly wasn't as painful as I though it would be, but it definitely was a big challenge.
 
Nice, 2 PR's in one shot. Congrats!

thanks!

You not bulking anymore then Fu?

Nah, I've dropping my weight over the past few weeks. I am around 185 lbs right now. I just feel better at this body weight. Plus I am focusing more on running and body weight exercises these days, so it helps being lighter. Plus, I haven't been super lean in a while so I am also working towards that.

Speed stuff felt good, deadlifts felt slow & heavy and the swings went really easy for some reason. Last week 3x20 had me breathing pretty well, but I added a set today and my breathing was unusually slow and relaxed between sets.
