Workout A

Dumbbell Squat - 2 x 7kg, not sure this is the best squat to be doing but as I struggle to get the bar on my back comfortably it seems to work.

Chest Press - 2 x 7kg, good, kinda perfect and really feeling it on those last reps. See what happens with 8's next time?

Bent Over Row - Barbell this time @ 12kg - felt better. Had a break to rest lower back at reps 5 or 6 but over all good. My back should get stronger from this and deadlift.

Need to build my strength back that is for sure.

Chased it with some core work with 22MHC Core 1 - yes I need to get stronger.

I'm not taking the pre and post workout powders I was taking before, trying to do it more naturally. Just taking some BCAA during the morning and then in the afternoon.

Workout B

 Looking forward to this one as I get to Deadlift and I enjoy Deadlifts.

Deadlift - 20kg - again light ish but start somewhere

Chinups - Still in my doorway bar till we move, Foot assist on step and then slow negatives. most I can do on go in 4 then 3's or 2's. The full reps was a bit much so next time do less reps and try to build the strength up. Go for 5's

Seated Arnold Press - 2 x 4kg - felt good but odd seated.

It's odd listening to music and not following along but so far so good. Be better as I increased my weights.

Workout A

Started this nice and light and sensible to build a good base, see where I can take it. 

Dumbbell Squat - 2 x 6kg, fairly easy but nice start

Chest Press - 2 x 6kg, fairly easy but nice start

Bent Over Row - - 2 x 6kg, fairly easy but nice start - will try Barbell next time.

Was over quicker than I thought and the 2 mins rest seems too long so will half that for next time and just take more time if I need it.

Chased with 10 mins Core with Greg from Fitness+

Catch up

 So I've been very lacking when it comes to posting but not working out, things have changed so I thought I'd catch up and start posting again.

I completed Macro Hacks 6 weeks and it was great and not so great at the same time. The workouts took a while with all the warm up and pre hab stuff which I think helped but also hindered at the same time.

I found the workout tough to follow sometimes but thats only because I'm used to follow along workouts from dvd's and online streaming.

I changed to Cori's Pull up program on 3rd Aug 20 to 17th Sept 20. Which I enjoyed but got kinda repetitive but without seeing much progress. I increased my hand time but that was about it.

Then I needed a change so I did Meagans Muscle Burns Fat programs with Beachbody 31 Sept 20 to 4 Dec 20. Then Adnavced 5 Dec 20 to 29 Dec 20. Really enjoyed it apart from lots of skipping. 

Then I restarted it with some MBFA Bonus add ons and some LMOD Grit Strength and Combat. But I wasn't feeling it, I felt like my core strength was not what it was and I'm not sure why.

Then I was going to start the prep for 6 Weeks of the work but then we had to move units so then I was working crazy long exhausting hours and no chance of any workouts.

So things a were a bit hit and miss then for a while with some 22 MHC and Lift 4. Fitting in LIFT 4 where I could as I felt I was losing so much strength.

May 21 I realised I am peri-menopausal - which has been affecting me in so many ways including poor sleep, night sweats, lack of strength generally and in kegals too.

June 21 after a few weeks on some Vogel tablets, no more night sweats and actually sleeping through the night again, generally feeling better I decided to go back to basics after reading A workout Routine website and I bought his program. I started that 7th June 21.
