B4Lift 4 Chest and Back, Legs, Shift Shop Strength 25 and IMAX 15

Monday was B4Lift4 Chest and Back, just the main 2 sets, then I did Shift Shop Strength 25 subbing the renegade row for Assist Chin ups. Just to see how much strength I’ve lost not doing any for weeks.

Tuesday was B4Lift4 Legs again just main 2 sets and swopped the HIIT portion for IMAX 15. Then because I wanted to add a it more on as I planned to rest the rest of the week I did a few more burpees, 20 weighted thrusters and some push press just to finish it out.

Wed was shopping, Thursday went to Patchings Art Festival. Yesterday I needed something so I did X3 Yoga just move myself about. Been lacking sleep but finally managed 9 hours last night. So hoping for more good sleep over the weekend and I’m well rested and ready to hit Lift4 on Monday - Wahoo!!

Joels 8 x 8, B4Lift4 Legs & BodyCombat 74

Thurs was Joels 8 x 8 and I really enjoyed it. Got my bar up on my squat rack so I could go much heavier for the squats and reverse lunges.
Increased my Deadlift weight too:)

Fri was B4Lift4 Legs which was tough with Front Squat s and Deadlifts again but still enjoyed it.

Today I did BodyCombat 74 and was was tha a Cardio burner phew. Perfect for after two leg heavy days. Erin I find slow in cueing the moves but other than I loved it!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms, Full body HIIT & X2 Recovery and Mobility

Thursday was B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms with an extra round of Lateral Raise and Burpees just for good measure and to make it a little longer and therefore more like the full program.

Friday was B4Lift4 Full body HIIT but I wanted a bit more so I paused at the core section, did 22 Min Hard Core Cardio 2 and then went back and finished the Core section. Great workout :)

Saturday I did most of X2 Recovery and Mobility, which was basically the warmup and the foam rolling as I was short on time. It’s been a while since I visited the pain cave that is my foam roller - but totally worth it.

B4Lift4 Chest and Back & ShiftShop Speed 25, Joels Grab Bag

Monday was B4Lift4 Chest and Back and I skipped core and went into Shift Shop Speed 25 - which was tougher than I remember lol

Today I did Joels Grab Bag with Dumbells and it was pretty good. Didn't think I would enjoy it but I did.

B4Lift4 Legs, CHest and Back and Shoulders & Arms

Thursday was B4Lift4 Legs which I enjoyed after increasing my weights.

Friday should have been Lift4 preview but could I find it on BOD?? Nope?? So I did B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms, then skipped the core section and went straight into Chest and Back which worked really well. Increased my weights on this also and that burnout of push ups really did the job this week phew!! Still got Chest doms today lol.

B4Lift4 Full Body HIIT & P90X3 MMX

So Friday we finally got our drive extention finished - at last. Hard work but well worth it. We were originally quoted £900 to have it done and we pretty much did it ourselves for probably a quarter of that cost :)

New BB Energize and Recover Perfamance Line came on Friday with Lift4 Kit :)

I also bought a new 6ft x 4ft workout mat as my old BB ones are starting to breakdown after nearly 5 years of failry constant use - isn't so bad I guess.

Saturday after taking my Energize (which is very lemony but not bad) I did B4Lift4 Full Body HIIT while trying out the new mat which but it was just too slippery :(. I didn't feel safe on it at all.
When we got to the core section I stopped, got rid of the new mat and reorganized my old ones and needed something more so went to old pal Tony with some P90X3 MMX.

Took Recover which wasn't too bad either - it was less calories at than I usually have in my PWO but overall it was ok. We will see how it goes. I've been taking the same Pre and Post shakes for a long time so I figured a change is as good as a rest right?

B4Lift4 Shoulders & Arms, P90X3 Yoga & Chest and Back

Tuesday was another 5 hours of Sand/Cement mixing and Concrete laying to finish the concrete part of the drive. Leaving the Mortar bits to finish in a couple of days.

Wednesday was B4Lift4 Shoulders and Arms which was pretty good and I enjoyed it. 20 Mins is pretty short but they are effective and I’m really looking forward to the longer ones in the full program.
Chased it with P90X3 Yoga as I needed a good stretch out and it seems weeks since I’ve done any yoga - it was always the casualty of the busy weeks I’ve had lately. Boy it was tougher than normal - we sure lose the finesse of these workouts when you dont do them often don’t we?

Today was going to be finishing the drive but we got busy at work so had to go in and get some orders out so I managed to get B4Lift4 Chest and Back done. It was good too. Nice to not have a HIIT component for a change and just concentrating on the lifting :) Didn’t go crazy with the weights but was nice to be lifting similar to some of the beastettes on screen in some moves ;)
