Workout Updates

Well as you can see, I am VERY behind on sharing my workout logs! Rather than writing out every exercise I've done I'll just share a little update. Last week was my deload week; much needed, I  might add. I'm feeling a lot more refreshed and today I start heavy lifting again with deadlifts.

My exciting new purchase for the last week was a sled! I am so excited to use it for the first time later today! It should make for a really great workout and will hopefully really kick my butt.

After reviewing my workouts and my numbers I definitely need to focus on bench. Those numbers just are not what they should be. Last week during my deload I lessened the load and really focused on my heel drive and back tightness.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my overhead press and my squat. I definitely want to improve more on them but I think I'm making the most progress on those two.

In terms of nutrition, I am quite pleased with how I've been doing. I do carb backloading (eating carbs post workout) This fits so well with my lifestyle and still lets me enjoy my ice cream and all the other yummy foods I love. I've been eating gluten free for about a month now and I can tell such a difference in my energy levels and how I look, too. I bought gluten free flour so I can still eat basically what I would before, I just have to take the time to make it a little differently. I'll write more about my diet later, as it is quite a bit different from how most people eat.

That is all for now! I will leave you with a bit of gym humor:
