Full Body Training - Workout B - Week 1

Overall Impression:

I've been eating good food and lots of it. I checked my bodyweight yesterday and im very disappointed to say that i weighed in at 175 lbs :(

i also did some cardio yesterday. today's workout was good and i am happy at the way my strength is improving. i think my routine may need to be slightly tweaked in maybe 3-4 weeks. i have a few possibilities but i will explore those in another post...this one is dedicated to today's workout which i am pretty pleased with.

Workout:

Military Press
132 lbs (60 kgs) x 5 reps x 3 sets
121 lbs (55 kgs) x 6 reps x 2 sets
99 lbs (45 kgs) x 8 reps x 1 set
I think the 3x5 set with 132 lbs is a PR by 2 lbs. im not sure...the bar at my gym weighs 12 kgs (weird) so actually the weight was 62 kgs which equals 136.4 lbs however i dont think thats possible. either way, im underestimating the weight and taking 132 lbs as my new 3x5 max haha i am very happy with the way this went down. all reps were controlled and not too slow. the last set of 132 was killer. i struggled on the 4th rep, lost my breathing pattern so i racked the weight, took a deep breath and cranked out 1 more rep. form was good too. elbows in front of bar.

Squats
200 lbs (90 kgs) x 6 reps x 3 sets
176 lbs (80 kgs) x 8 reps x 2 sets
My squat strength is returning slowly and steadily. this is good. I think once i reach the potential to squat somewhere along the lines of 225 for 4x6 or 5x5 i am going to have to re-arrange a few of the exercises on this full body program. this is a topic for a new post though....

Unilateral RDLs
45 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
I took it easy on this for today. i am being conservative this first week. I dont want to do so much that in 2 weeks i need a deload lol..

Facepulls
a few heavy sets. i didnt do too many because i have to do pull-ups day after tomorrow.

Ab Work
i did some hanging leg raises with 8 kgs and 4 kgs dumbbells. 2-3 sets to failure around 15-20 reps odd. im gonna stick to this exercise for another 2-3 weeks before i switch.

Thanks for reading y'all! Happy holidays everyone and i hope everyone's doing fine!
