Can 1 lb Save Your Workout, What Is A Ratio & Other Tales of Random Acts of Fitness. (Why Weight Training Requires Math)

Thursday, September 12, 2024
Can 1 lb Save Your Workout, What Is A Ratio & Other Tales of Random Acts of Fitness. (Why Weight Training Requires Math).  Doing standing Curlbar is a tough one of late.  It's like I'm almost at a plateau.  Right now I have a 25 lb plate and a 2.5 plate on each side and I don't think I'm ready to add 2.5 lbs to each side and can't just add one 2.5 lbs on one side.  So that made me think if you can buy 1 lbs weight plates and yes you can.  Now I gotta decide if I want to spend my own money and buy 1 lbs plates.  
 
THURSDAY - BACK & BICEPS
 
THE WORKOUT:
 
5 mins Spinning Warm Up
 
Cable Lat Pulldown at 181.0 lbs Reps x 4 / 5 / 5 / 4 / 3 - 21
(Last Time 181 x3 / 4 / 3 / 4 / 2) - 16
(Last Time 178.5 x 5 / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5) - 27
 
Standing Curlbar Curls w/ Armblaster at 55 lbs x Reps 7 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 4 - 29
(Last Time 55 x 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4) - 26
(Prior Time 55 x4 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4)- 24
 
Seated Cable Row at 195 lbs x Reps 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 5 - 31
(Last Time 200 x 5 / 5 / 5 / 4 / 3) - 23
(Prior Time 200 x 4 / 4 / 5 / 5 / 2) - 20
 
Standing Cable Hammer Bicep Curl at 51 lbs x Reps 8 / 7 / 6 / 6 / 3
*Different Cable Rig
(Last Time 112.5 x 4 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 3)
(Last Time 110 x9 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 6) - 39
 
Swimming on Sunday will be ending soon with this week and the 29th. Starting Sunday the 6th of October I’ll be teaching Les Mills The Trip at 10:30am.
 
THE BREAKDOWN:
LAT PULLDOWN - MORE REPS THAN LAST TIME.  
CURLBAR - Need those 1lb plates.  Did more reps than last time.  Keeping it at this weight to I can do sets of 8 then maybe 2.5 more on each won't be that much.
CABLE ROW - Did 195 pounds cuz' some new gym member was also using the cable rig but was using both sides for various movements and I couldn't get the peg to add a plate to the stack.  So 195 instead of 200.
HAMMER BICEP CURL - Using the cable system but a different one. Did you know that different cable systems have ratios?  I sorta did but never really understood.  
 
In the gym, you’ll see different pulley ratios, such as 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. The higher the ratio number, the longer the cable length – and the lower the resistance, as well as smaller resistance jumps between the weights. For example, a 4:1 ratio comes from a cable that’s four times the length of a 1:1 ratio. - via https://repfitness.com/

When You Celebrate Seeing Your Abs In The Mirror By Eating Two Donuts At Work Plus Some Random Acts of Fitness

Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Is it a Leg Day or a Swim Day?  Trying to find a balance between swimming three days before work and getting in my weight training.  So that may mean I do two short Leg Workouts on Mon and Wed.  That way I can get two full Back/Bi and Chest/Shoulder/Tri Workouts in a week.  In a few weeks I'll be teaching four Spin Classes a week so my Legs will get in workouts.  

WEDNESDAY - QUICK LEG DAY
 

THE WORKOUT:
 
5 mins Spinning Warm Up
 
Reverse Hack Squat
8 x EB
8 x 90 lbs
6 x 180 lbs
6 x 180 lbs
5 x 180 lbs
 
Out Of Time…
 
THE BREAKDOWN:
REVERSE HACK SQUAT - Nothing exceptional about this workout.  
OVERALL - 24 Minutes and that was it.  Time to hit the pool.  Better than nothing.
 
THE SPIN CYCLE:
5 min Spinning Warm Up
 
THE WET DECK:
DRILL SWIM WORKOUT:
WARM UP: (600)
200 Free 50 Fist / 100 Swim / 50 First
200 Free Pull w/ Paddles
200 IM Order Kick w/Board No Fins
MAIN SET: (2000/2600)
Two Rounds Of
4 x 50's Back Solider Drill w/ Fins (200)
2 x 100's Back Swim (200/400)
4 x 50's Breast  Moose Drill / Swim (200/600)
2 x 100's Breast Swim (200/800)
2 x 100's Fly swim/side kick/swim/2-2-2 drill (200/1000)
SET TWO: (300/2900)
3 x 100'a Free Long Axis Drill / Front Quad / Shoulder Tap / Swim (300)
 
OUT OF TIME.  I was already running late so didn't do the 100 cool down for 3,000 so only 2,900 SCY today.  Knowing that I have the pentathlon in a few weeks I really worked on my weakest link, Breaststroke.  I really pushed the last 100 Breast.

JUST THE STACK, MA’AM. Not A Trip But The Trip, Oh And Some Tuesday Random Acts of Fitness

Tuesday, September 10, 2024

It's almost dinner and bedtime and I'm just getting to my morning workout post.  

TUESDAY -  CHESTIE

Out Of Time…
 
THE BREAKDOWN:
CHEST PRESS - TWO MORE REP THAN LAST TIME. Actually three from last time but two from the time before.  PROGRESS!
DB FLY - YIKES.  I did 4 at 50 lbs but when I tried a second set I almost fell off the bench.   Hope they didn't get that on the security camera for TikTok.  It was humorous and luckily no one was around.
FACEPULLS - MORE THAN LAST TIME.  Up 5lbs.
PUSHDOWN - THE STACK HAS BEEN MASTERED.  NOTHING LEFT.  NOT A SINGLE PLATE ON THE STACK.  
OVERALL - FELT GREAT.  CHEST PRESS is still a struggle.  I added FacePulls so didn't have time for five sets of triceps but overall PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD AT WORK.
 
THE SPIN CYCLE:
5 min Spinning Warm Up
Taught 30 min Class.
ALSO later this month I be getting certified with Les Mills The Trip and will be teaching that class as well.  As of now I'll be the only one going to the certification.  Getting certified can be fun but also create anxiety.  After you take the program you have a limited time to film yourself for assessment to be certified.  Which made me made this list...
 
THE EIGHT STAGES OF GROUP X CERTIFICATION
STAGE ONE: EXCITEMENT
STAGE TWO: SELF DOUBT
STAGE THREE: NERVOUS ENERGY
STAGE FOUR: DO IT
STAGE FIVE: ANXIETY
STAGE SIX: FREAK OUT
STAGE SEVEN: JOY
STAGE EIGHT: MOVEMENT
 
But it's all worth it in the end.  You get to motivate others to move through life and sport!

I have no idea why I put that in my notes during yesterday's workout.  Hmmm...Oh well.  Monday Is Swim Day and Leg Day.  Woke up at 3:30am and grabbed my stuff for a quick LEG workout before hitting the road for 5:15am Swim Practice.

THE WET DECK:
I was a bit hesitant if I wanted to swim today or get in a good leg workout but decided I need to get use to swimming MON/WED/FRI at 5:15am.

Sally Save Up At The Gym, Maybe A Swim Today and Some Sunday Random Acts of Fitness

Sunday, September 08, 2024

SUNDAY
SUNDAY
SUNDAY

Trying to decide if I should take the day off from swimming.  My Breaststoke is the worse and due to bad technique I have a slight pull in my groin from the kick.  So I'm debating on taking today off.  I gotta decide in the next hour since I have to drive 50 minutes to the pool.  And thats another thing as it's 50 minutes to the pool, 75 minutes of swimming, usually lunch after and the 60 minute drive home.  It ends up being a half day.  Although during my strength training I had it in the back of my head that I would swim so didn't want to go all out and kill myself.  But I came close!

SATURDAY - BACK & BICEPS

THE WORKOUT:

5 mins Cycle Warm Up
 
Cybex Asst Pull-up Plate 6 x Reps 6 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 3
 
Standing Curlbar Curls w/ Armblaster at 55 lbs x Reps 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4 - 26
(Last Time 55 x4 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4)- 24
(Last Time 55 x 5 / 4 / 4 / 3 / 4) - 20
 
Cable Lat Pulldown at 181.0 lbs Reps x 3 / 4 / 3 / 4 / 2 - 16
(Last Time 178.5 x 5 / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5) - 27
(Prior Time 178.5 4 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 5) - 24
 
Standing Cable Hammer Bicep Curl at 112.5 lbs x Reps 4 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 3
(Last Time 110 x9 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 6) - 39
(Last Time 110 x 8 / 6 / 7 / 6 / 5) - 32
 
THE BREAKDOWN:
OLD SCHOOL!
ASST PULL UP - I cut this out of my workout a few months ago due to time constraints and wanting to start my workout with the LAT PULLDOWN.  Decided I had some time so I could bring it back and skip T-Bar &/or Seated Cable Row.
CURLBAR - Two more reps than last time.  MORE THAN LAST TIME!
LAT PULLDOWN - Added 2.5 lbs.  MORE THAN LAST TIME!
HAMMER CURL - Added 2.5 lbs.  MORE THAN LAST TIME.
OVERALL - Brought back the Pull Up and just Progressive Overload on everything.  I was thinking of cutting the workout short as I am suppose to swim at 10am with the team.  I'm still not 100% I want to swim today.
 
THE SPIN CYCLE:
5 min Spinning Warm Up
 
THE WET DECK:
In theory 10am with team but not 100% sure I'm going yet.  
So I did get in a swim in.  Not much of one but still a swim.

So So Many Drill That I Can't Remember Them All And Some Random Acts of Fitness

Friday, September 06, 2024

If Wednesday was for kicking, Friday was for drilling.  Lot's of drilling today at the pool.  I cant even remember what we did.  One of them was the Freestyle Paddle-Head Drill | Perfect Head Position Progression Drills which you can view here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58hBcM2LVHs

Ahh..fuck it.  I don't remember and looking at the Apple Workout Data is leaving me clueless. I think it was 50's, 75's and 100's.  
Since the Apple Workout Data has it a 2,700 meters I'm guessing that is what we did.  We did a few drills I never have done before and boy some of them were hard.  Even for just a drill workout I was beat.
