Anyway, my workout diet has changed from what it always was. I use to do the traditional chest/tri, back/bi, shoulder/legs or whatever. I got bored though and it was killing my motivation which effected my consistency.
Now I do whatever I feel like and whatever part of my body feels the freshest. Basically my weekly workout breadkdown might look like this:
- Big 3 (squats (barbells + weighted lunges), bench (barbell + dumbbell), deads
- kettlebells, pull/chin ups, dips, rings, muscle ups (still trying)
- Olympic weight lifting
- military press, upright rows, chin ups, seated row, farmers walk.
I will usually throw in extra exercises on to any of my sessions with no reason. Eg if I see a loaded squat rack cos some lazy ass didn't rack his weights i will do a couple sets just cos.. see the chin up bar is empty, do a few sets.
I found that being more random in the gym increases the fun and your motivation improves drastically. I never go to the gym with an exercise for exercise specific program anymore.
Starting this week everyday Im going to do at least 10 min cardio each session. Most likely do skipping min on min off, HIIT sprints, stair climber intervals. My cardio sux and snowboarding seasons is fast approaching.
Diet is intermittent fasting. Which is the best thing Ive ever done. Eat between 12 noon and 8pm only. Low carbs, no sugars or junk. Except for weekends.

That's my favorite type of workout! Haven't been to Trout Creek but I have heard it's an butt kicker. I love going to Smith, can't wait for my next trip there.
Unfortunately, my normal workout is usually in the gym 4 days a week before work then on the bike or running after work 4-5 days a week.

I don't know guys. I've seen some pretty round trad/sport climbers.
Bouldering is what will kick you into shape! :moon:

Yeah Trout is pretty stout trad climbing, but the gear is almost always good.

Lol. For sure. Just couldn't resist the opportunity to throw out a little jab.
How long does that take you?

Both days took a little more than an hour
Nice to see another PLer here! Powerlifting is a good hobby. I'm just coming off a hip injury. Taking it easy for a couple of weeks and then back into the heavy stuff.
Hoping to see a nice total (i.e. 1400-1500) by April (if I can keep from getting hurt). Had my first squat workout in about 6 weeks on Sunday. My legs still hurt.

haha i feel you on the legs, did 6 sets of 405, 455 on my first leg day when i got back the DOMS the next day was bad, i almost shed a tear walking down stairs :rofl:
I'm right there with you. I just did the stair climb back up to my office. I hate DOMS. Thankfully it only happens the first week back. Then I'm fine.
