Hey beardy! (Feels weird calling a girl that...) Checking in again
How's the shoulder doing? Back to free-weights soon enough?
Also, I'm liking your decision about your diet. IMO it is a healthier approach and a better mindset, so congrats on making that good decision
Hahah you can call me Annie if you like. Because.. that's my name.
YES I LOVE NOT BEING VEGO. Hahah you guys are probably thinking I'm stupid for not changing earlier, but I convinced myself I liked it, standards of 'good food' lowered and uugh. And pride etc. The hardest thing about changing is people thinking their comments are funny.
Anyway, back on to free weights, but I gotta know my limits.
Also, as of today new routine. Last one was for a month or so, too much on upper body days. Going to a 4 day split, each muscle ONCE a week.
CHEST & SHOULDERS
BICEPS &TRICEPS
LEGS
BACK & TRAPS
Did another RPM class on Wednesday. Walked to and from the gym (1 hour total) then biceps and triceps
EZ bar curl
rope hammer curl
skull crushers
single arm tricep extension
SUPERSET:
tricep dips
incline curl
THURSDAY

10 minutes of my own activity (bodyweight squats, skipping, ab stuff etc.)
FRIDAY
10 minutes (same sort of thing as Thursday)
20 minutes stretching
40 minute aerobics class (for my PT course)
pretty sure there was more but I forgot
TODAY (Saturday) for PT course...
20 minute brisk walk from gym to park
1/2 hour moderate intensity circuit
1/2 hour intense circuit
15 minute moderate intensity circuit
There was something else because we were there for 2 hours (I got really sunburnt)
run back to the gym
LUNCH & rest
10 minute weight/bodyweight/cardio session for each bodypart (breaks between, not too intense)
15-20 minute endurance chest/triceps workout
I drank like 6.5L water today. I'm so tired.

Adding in lots of bodyweight/plyo stuff, eating whatever I feel like. Getting 1 hour of exercise each day... doing aerobics classes.. Oh and eating meat.
Meat's great.

Pretty short workout but I'm trying out the 'less is more' concept. Took 45-50 minutes (talked to a trainer in the middle. He said I look big for a 15 y/o!)
Gonna do some cardio/aerobics stuff later/soon. Also assignments/schoolwork.
Oh and I used this handle for seated row:

Then today I did legs. Flip yes I love legs! Only when I'm feeling strong though.
Tried out a front squat, first time ever (hence light weight). Also, went for a long drive before workout and after preworkout shake/muffin. I get bad carsick so I wasn't feeling well.
SMITH ROM. DEADLIFT
20kg 1x10
40kg 1x10
30kg 1x10
Lower back isn't feeling awesome yet (strained it last week) so I'm not pushing it.
FRONT SQUAT
bar 1x10 (20kg bar)
10kg 4x8
went parallel/slightly below. Need to focus on engaging my core, I felt it too much in my lower back.
LEG PRESS
160kg 1x12
180kg 3x10
HAMSTRING CURLS
25kg 1x10
24kg 1x10
23kg 1x10
Realised I was using my lower back too much, lowered the weight and focused on the hamstrings. I felt it HEAPS better.
LEG EXTENSIONS (single leg)
18kg 3x10
Then did stationary bodyweight lunges with front foot on one of these
3x10 each leg
superset them with bodyweight inner thigh lift things (decided I don't like the machine)

You know, I always forget that you're 15 lol
Your lifts never ceases to amaze me, keep it up!
woah thanks, that's a pretty hardcore compliment as far as compliments go.
Didn't do anything today,frustrating but I didn't have time. I did like 20 minutes of stretching, and a good few hours of blacksmithing.
Drank nearly 7 litres of water!
Oh and a little bit of stuff with my PT course this evening. Like 15 minutes max
Also, got a shirt that says "Personal training is the answer" on the back and "Australian Institute of Personal Trainers" on the front. It's pretty cool.
**hopefully** I'll be able to get to the gym tomorrow. It closes at 4pm. Doing a first aid course from 7AM to 5pm. SEVEN AM. If we finish early I'll chuck in some chest and shoulders.
7am....

Jumps (two feet, as far/high as I can 4 times up and back, then repeat)
Hops (same as ^ except one foot)
Walking lunges with bicep curl
Side bends
(the first exercise)
FOR NEXT 15 MINUTES(cycle through):
Except my knee didn't go over my toe
squatkicks
Tricep pressback
Then I did some ab/lower back stuff, stretched etc.
Feels good!

Alright! I just realised that this school playground across the road from my house is awesome for training! It's one of those "get kids healthy" playgrounds. Like they're going to do dips and chinups.
I, on the other hand, will make full use of it.
Trying to talk mum into training her once a week.
Anyway, expect playground workouts.
