So this week was a little not-normal for me in the sense that I went to the gym 4 times. That was because last week things were all messed up and I wanted to get back on my normal schedule.

I am contemplating a week off next week for the fact that it is the last full week before my thesis is due and I would like all the time I can get, and also, I feel I've been lifting pretty hard the last 8 weeks and a rest might do me good. However, I am also contemplating switching somethings up. Don't know what to do! :hmmm:
 
ya gotta go for the "4x15" s. i just love them.:grumble:
 
Rest is good. If you've been going hard, it might be really really good.
 
So, I ended up taking last week off. Felt good, and I think it did me some good.

Started up today, similar template, just rotated some exercises, and switched some.

Today...

Chinups I underestimated myself, should have started with 35.

Pressing movements took a slight hit since they were not of priority this time around.

So, I guess I have lost my way in the gym yet again after being decently consistent over the past few months.

I have my honours presentation/defense tomorrow, so that has eaten up a lot of my time lately. I'm not too nervous now, I feel very prepared for it tomorrow.

On another note, most of you would remember that my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and was recently declared to be in remission. Well, a few weeks ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, she had a mastectomy and is doing very well. So I've had an up and down past few weeks, just thought I'd give an update.

Next week I am hoping I will be less busy and back in the gym!
 
So I returned to the gym today...

Chinups - RI 1:30-2:00
Warmup (2 sets)
+30x3
+25x3 (2 sets)

Oly-bar Corner Press - RI 1:30
+45x4 each arm (3 sets)
+50x4 each arm

Supine Rows - RI 1:30-2:00
BWx5
+25x5 (4 sets)

Side Laterals - RI 1:00
20sx8 (2 sets)

Short and sweet.

I have a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 rep-range thing going so I am going to see how that works. Just compounds, aside from an isolation here or there. Again, I just want to get stronger, and am limiting quantity of lifts on a given day to boost quality. Hope it works.
 
Great looking workout man! Welcome back! As much as it sucks, we have lives outside of the gym so don't worry too much about taking time off, haha. Im glad your grandparents are doing okay, dude, thats great news :)

How you doing?
 
How did the honors presentation/defense go last week?

Haha, yeah I guess I just need to be reminded that the gym will always be there no matter what.

I am doing quite well actually. Honours is finished, therefore life is less stressed that way. My undergrad career is soon finished, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Although it's bittersweet because on one side I am finished, but on the other side, all the awesome people I've become friends with are all going their separate ways. I guess I'll just have to make time to visit them in the future!

Ahh, my presentation went very well. Everyone told me they thought I gave the best presentation, spoke clearly, and that they could even follow my thought processes.

The defense - not so much. One of my thesis readers grilled me big time!

But I am done, and I passed, so I'm happy.
 
Today...

Hang Cleans - RI 1:30
85x3 (5 sets)

Single Leg DLs - RI 1:30
+50x4 (2 sets)
+55x4 (2 sets)

Low Incline DB Press - RI 1:30-2:00
50sx5
55sx5 (4 sets)

Seated Calf Raises - RI 1:00
115x6 (3 sets)

Cable Crunches - RI 1:00
135x10
145x8 (2 sets)

Hang cleans were a lot better than what I was expecting going into this workout.

Single leg DLs are ridiculous for balance. Picking the weight off the floor and starting out really emphasizes a lot of core and also stability muscles in the leg.

DB bench killed me.
 
Today...

CGBP - RI 1:30-2:00
Warmup (2 sets)
135x3
130x3 (2 sets)

T-bar Rows - RI 1:30
+115x4
+125x4
+130x4 (2 sets)

Pullups - RI 1:30-2:00
BWx5 (5 sets)

Arnold Presses - RI 1:30
35sx8 (2 sets)

Cable Crunches - RI 1:00
145x8 (3 sets)

A decent one today. I think I am going to drop off the CGBP and keep the Arnies because on my next day I am doing dips.

Off to my last geology banquet later tonight, should be a good time!
 
Today...

RDLs - RI 1:30-2:00
Warmup (2 sets)
205x3 (3 sets)

Front Squats - RI 1:30-2:00
115x4
125x4
135x4 (2 sets)

Dips - RI 1:30-2:00
+20x5 (3 sets)
+25x5
+25x4

Monkey Hangs - RI 2:00
BWx3 - 45 seconds, 35 seconds, 32 seconds

So, I have come to a conclusion, and this is only my opinion, that front squats >> back squats. For several reasons, 1) I can go ATG with front squats, 2) I feel more of my upper body in the lift due to stabilization, and 3) my core has never felt like that in a while!

Monkey hangs were different, but I could definitely get used to them.
 
Today...

Chinups - RI 1:30-2:00
Warmup (2 sets)
+30x3
+25x3 (2 sets)

Oly-bar Corner Press - RI 1:30
+50x4 each arm (4 sets)

Supine Rows - RI 1:30
+25x5 (5 sets)

Planks - RI 2:00
BWx2 - 72 seconds, 64 seconds

Short and sweet.

Shit.. now that I look back at my last weeks workout, I should have upped my chinup weight. Oh well, next time.
 
Today...

Hang Cleans - RI 1:30-2:00
95x3 (5 sets)

Single Leg RDLs - RI 1:30
+55x4 (2 sets)
+60x4 (2 sets)

Low Incline DB Press - RI 2:00
55sx5 (5 sets)

Seated Calf Raises - RI 1:00
115x6 (3 sets)

Cable Crunches - RI 1:00
145x10
155x8 (2 sets)

So, at first on the hang cleans I put on the 25s and thinking that 25+25+45=85 (which it does not), I added 10 more lbs thinking the total was then 95, which it was not. Well, when I tried my first set I was in for a surprise. Once I figured out what was wrong, 95 was a good weight.

On a side note, yesterday was my last day of my undergraduate career. Kind of crazy, 5 years (yes, I was in the 5 year plan, lol) gone by. It's going to be different and also sad not seeing everyone every day after this - but at the same time tremendously happy to graduate.
 
Today...

T-bar Rows - RI 1:30
Warmup (2 sets)
+145x3 (2 sets)
+135x3 (2 sets)

Arnold Presses - RI 1:30-2:00
45sx4 (4 sets)

Pullups - RI 2:00
+15x5 (3 sets)
+15x4
+15x3

Lateral Raises - RI 1:00
20sx8 (2 sets)

Changed things around a little bit from last time. Dropped CGBP and moved around some lifts.

T-bars were good, decided to do 4 sets because of how I alternate my grip, and 3 heavy sets would have made things unbalanced.

Pullups felt good, feels good to add some weight to them!
 
Today...

RDLs - RI 1:30
Warmup (2 sets)
215x3
205x3 (2 sets)

Front Squats - RI 1:30-2:00
125x4
135x4 (3 sets)

Dips - RI 2:00
+20x5 (2 sets)
+25x5 (3 sets)

Monkey Hangs - RI 2:00
BWx3 - 32 seconds, 35 seconds, 30 seconds

Another decent one today.

My RDLs weren't so hot, but I felt I nailed the front squats, especially on the last two sets. I probably definitely could have added an extra 5-10lbs on the squats, and an extra 5 on the dips.

So lately things seem to be going my way. I am a little over a month away from graduation, I completed my honours, I just received my Earth Ring (it's a lot like the engineers iron ring signifying you can one day become a professional), and just recently was contacted about being flown out to a gold mine in Ontario for an interview. I'm feeling pretty good these days!

:clapping: thats awesome, dude! Big fucking congratulations!

Workouts are looking sweet, too!
 
Today...

Chinups - RI 1:30
Forgot warmup sets
+35x3
+30x3 (2 sets)
BWx5 - since I didn't do my warmup, I did a "cooldown"

Oly-bar Corner Press - RI 1:30
+50x4 each arm (3 sets)
+55x4 each arm

Supine Rows - RI 1:30-2:00
+25x5 (3 sets)
+35x5 (2 sets)

Cable Crunches - RI 1:00
145x10 (2 sets)
145x7

Chinups and supines felt really good. Probably could have went heavier on the chinups.

Oly-bar is still a little struggle.
 
So, just as things were going again my workouts have ceased.

Several reasons, it's hard to workout when you have no gym. I am no longer a student therefore I do not have a free membership to the school's gym. I am still in a student financial situation, therefore I have no money for a membership elsewhere. However, I had an interview last week which I think went very well, they really seemed to like me. They said they'd let me know by tomorrow or so. Then today, I received another call for another interview. Things are looking up that way!

The gym can wait at this time, I gotta get my higher prioritized stuff taken care of :thumb:.
 
So, where was I. Unfortunately I did not get the job I had an interview for a few weeks ago, which might be a good thing because I felt as though I would have been in waaay over my head coming out of university with not enough experience. However, I had an interview on Monday which went well, and they said they'd get back to me early next week. This one is a little more suitable for me too.

Other than that, I am home now for a few weeks, no gym membership therefore I am working out at home. Little to no equipment so workouts are Crossfit or from Gaz's website. Short and sweet and an emphasis on cardio - which I desperately need! So the next few weeks are going to hopefully be cardio-oriented, and also maybe drop a few el-bees.

Here was today's...

Bodyweight Circuit (+DB Snatches)
As many rounds in 25 minutes:
Squats x15
Pushups x10
Pullups x5
DB Snatch x5 (each arm)
Burpees x10
Situps x15

Total: 4 rounds

Things I learned from this - my cardio abilities are little to null! Oh, and Gaz, I hate you for enticing me to do this. Lol, :joke:.

Changed things around because with the setup I have, I can't do hanging leg raises which were supposed to be there. Can't do them because I was using the floor-joists in the basement ceiling for pullups. Switched in DB snatches, which I might add that the combo of burpees + DB snatches = brutal!
 
:clapping: nice work dude! Don't worry, my cardio is also pretty poor right now. Carrying a few too many el-bees myself :P.

Great effort though, the snatches would have made it harder, for sure. Absolutely crazy stuff. Where normal people would have wimped out and done crunches, i love that you decided to slaughter yourself instead :thumb:
