Ahh I'm jealous my state is nowhere close to opening their gyms yet, but with so few people it sounds like you're staying pretty safe. Great routine, I used to do something similar.

Thanks. They have blocked off certain equipment and restricted numbers with signs. Will see how it goes tomorrow night. 

I'm really looking forward to doing leg press for the first time ever!

Rear delt machine 36 kg 1x10; 43kg 4x10 (upped the weight as 36 kg was a little too easy. Or should I say "36 kg")

Band rows 5x20

 

Rowing machine 2x2km

 

Yes! Back on the rear delt machine!! 

Rowing was pretty tragic. I usually do 5km without stopping but had to stop after 2km but I haven't done it since early March. Probably went too hard. Rowing machine is the only cardio I "like". I know I will get back to 5km again but will likely take until end of the month.

 

DOMS today: tricep longhead has the worst DOMS but in a good way. Quads and hamstrings have a little bit. I am doing DB RDL tomorrow so might be walking like John Wayne for a day or two.

Long day at work so just bw chins. Gym has wide grip hammer chins so tried them out for 2 sets.

Dips station is out of action due to covid…. did chest press but will add weight next time.
Leg press was good but will ad weight. Can feel the DOMS from db RDL stretch already...
Did standing tricep overhead extension for the first time and felt good. Trcieps still had DOMS from 2 days ago on the cables.

 

I do the bands when I get home. Bigger band was in the car so could not do band high pulls. Amazing trap grower though.

Upped weight on inclined db press, front squats and db shoulder press and got 24 reps for each. I could only face 2 sets of arms as was knackered! Ive had to move chins over to this routine due to gym logistics. Will do rows on the other day.

band rear delt rows 5x20

band rear delt standing raises 3x20

facepulls 17.5kg 2x15

 

rowing machine 5km 24.44 mins

 

I did rear delt machine from position 2 not 1 and could use a lot more weight. Don’t think there’s much benefit from starting with arms straight in front.

 

rear delts were screaming by the end of facepulls.

 

i slowed time on the rowing machine and managed 5km in one go. Now to chip away at the time. When I’m fit I can do in 22 minutes...I did it in 24.44...

 

good session though

added weight on ohp. I’d decided on way to gym I was only doing dB shoulders for a while but it didn’t last long!

 

extra rep on leg press but cut rest time down by 15 seconds. Too gassed for last set of RDL. Lesson learnt!

minor improvement on dips.

im ditching dB rows. New gym is fantastic but dB area is too small and enclosed for social distancing.

i think I’ll go back to push press.

Chest fly machine 26kg 2x20

BB incline press 42.5kg 10x3

seated row machine 40kg 3x8

landmine squats 25kg 3x12

landmine press 17.5kg 4x6 / lateral raises 5kg dB 4x10

arms superset x3

 

Added weight on incline but reduced reps to 3. Reduced rest time to 30 secs and got 30 reps.

 

Added landmine squats back in as this routine didn’t feel right. Lost weight but crept back on and think these will help.

 

might as well do landmine press straight after as it’s set up.

 

good session and was sweating a lot by the end.

dips 5x 3 / chin ups 8x3

Front squats 50kg 4x6

ohp 35kg 3x6 / lateral swings 2x10kg plates 3x15

 

dios and chins superset was a bad idea. Chins after squats next time.


Upped reps and dropped weight for squats but overall total weight increased by 300kg.

i went back to strict press but could not do 3x8 or 4x6 after dropping weight 🤦‍♂️
