Day 9 may 19

 Today, my workout consisted of cardio and walk/run day. I was very sore, my back has been bothering me and I wanted to rest it somewhat since I got my back cupped today and it felt good to rest it by doing cardio and core along with shooting pucks. I started off by walking on an incline for 30 mins, at a 3.0 speed and incline of 10. I was doing that for 30 minutes and then ran 2 miles. I then went and shot pucks, got some sun, and was there for around an hour. After that, later on, I went back and did some core exercises, these make my back feel better on an off day, Kelly told me about that and it really has been making my back feel better for the most part. I started off with holding the yoga ball in between my feet and moved it to the back of my head, did 4 sets of 10 back and forth. I then did 3 sets of 1-minute planks, along with doing 4 sets of Russian twists, 15 on each side with a 12-pound med ball and 4 sets of crunches, 25 on each side. I also did some more agility today, did the same ladder circuit I've been doing, it makes my feet quicker and I notice a change in speed as I run, which is one of my goals, to get faster for hockey. I also Shot pucks before practice

day 2 May 11

 Today, I was able to do an upper body workout which took me a while to complete along with a 45-minute run and walk on the treadmill. I started off with bench press, I did pause the bench for 2 seconds every time I dropped the bar down to my chest. I did this for 5 sets and tried adding 10 pounds every time I did a new set. I started with 25s on each side and went for as many reps as I could, until failure. I tried this strategy because I want to get my bench weight max up, my max for one rep is 205. I then did dumbell incline press for 3 sets of 10 reps, while also doing curls with the bar along with 10 pounds and a 5 on each side, 3 sets of 15 reps. Also, I did a close grip dumbell bench, which I did 4 sets of 8 reps where I used 45-pound dumbells, along with reverse curls with the bar and 10 pounds on each side, and also shoulder shrugs with a shoulder fly along with that circuit. I did 3 sets of 10 reps for all of those, and I tried my best to do more reps because I feel I hav...

day 1 may 10

 Today for my first day of the senior project in the weight room I was able to complete a leg day cycle rotation. First off, I stretched and got my legs ready, then I started off with squats, 5 sets of 5 reps increasing weight, did single-leg standing leg extensions for 3 sets of 10 reps, leg press machine for 3 sets of 10 reps, dumbbell squats for 3 sets of 12, calf raises for 3 sets of 12, and single-leg backward extension on the machine for 3 sets of 12. I then ran/walked 2 miles on the treadmill, with an incline to it for a bit of endurance. As a group, we also were able to make a group Instagram together so we can share some of our things we will be accomplishing day by day. As well, I came back to the weight room after dinner and did some core exercises, I did a circuit with one of my friends and we did 3 sets of a rotation which one person is doing med ball overhead slams for 10 reps with a 15-pound ball, 20 crunches, and Russian twists for 15 each side while the other perso...

Day 6 may 16

It was a good Sunday to go to the gym, I was able to complete a chest and bicep workout. Started off with a pause bench moving up in progression starting off with 135, for 10 reps. Then did another set for 10 reps to get ready for the next set of 145 for 8, did 2 sets of that ended it with 2 more sets of 155 for 6 reps. I as well tried to max out, I hit 185 for 2 reps and got 195 for one. I was sore for 205, almost got it but couldn’t get it. Was glad I got up to 195, 2 weeks ago I couldn’t do it, I think the pause bench method has been helping me out. I then proceeded to do hammer curls, 4 sets of 8 reps with 25-pound dumbbells, along with incline bench, with dumbbells with 50-pound dumbbells, 4 sets of 8. Also did bar curls, 65 pounds, and did 4 sets of 8. Finished the day with some sled pushes, while using 2 45s on the sled, me and AK would switch off doing this while one person had to hold a plank and the other person would have to run up and back with the sled. This was a burnout ...
