YoYo’s World

Today was my strength training and conditioning workout. I’m still researching and trying to find ways to get the most out of this workout, so it’s still under the works in a sense. I wanted to spend two hours in the gym, but I decided since I’ve got an exam tomorrow, I’ll only stay for one = P

So, today I did the following:

Planks - 75 seconds, 55 seconds
Side Planks - 30 seconds  (all for each side)
  Variation #1 - 6 reps
  Variation #2 - 15 reps
Birddog - 30 seconds (all for each side)
  Variation - 15 reps
Seated Dip - 2 sets of 50 reps @ 35 lbs
Bicep Curl - 30 reps, 10 reps @ 20 lbs
Back extention - 4 sets 50 reps @ 35 lbs
Abdominals - 45 reps, 30 reps @ 35 lbs
Overhead - 20 reps, 10 reps @ 20 lbs

I feel there is definite room for improvement. This is also the first day I recorded everything I did. In the past usually what I would do is just the planks-birddog in addition to doing supermans and its variations. Other days I also did some plyometrics as well. Today I was at the Huston Huffman working out so I figured I ‘d take advantage of the machines. My next strength training day is Thursday, but I think I’m going to do it Wednesday instead.

Now I have a little more idea of what I’m doing and what I need to be doing to make my Wednesday workout better. I’ll probably incorporate supermans, abductor and adductor work (legs) and set my goal to do everything I did today. I’m trying to gain a bit of muscle weight so I’ll burn a bit more fat and trim down. I can imagine with all the core work I’ve been doing I’ll be able to run more effectively since I’m getting better at stabilizing my torso.

I’m thinking about one day writing a post that contains the exercises I do with pictures and explanations. I know a few of you out there may not know what some of the exercises I mentioned are, so I will soon enlighten you. If you want to find out now, just google the exercises and I’m sure you can find those exercises elsewhere.

Till then, take it easy
