Hustling Hat's training log

[hustlinghat]

Did not feel like training this morning, stayed in bed for a good 10 minute contemplating life and the purpose of my existence and that the gym wouldn't get my life back on track etc but forced myself to at least get in there.


Today's workout

Squat: 5x5 with 109kg/240lbs + 1x5 with 120kg/264lbs + **1x5 with 130kg/287lbs**
(Mother****ing Rep PR at my current teenage girl bodyweight so damn happy I got in)

Paused squats: 2x5 with 105kg/ 230lbs I was supposed to do 5 sets but my right knee felt weird so thought it best to not risk injury for accessory work

3x GHR (These killed me)
Leg curls: 5 sets of 8 reps
Good mornings: 3 sets of 6 reps

So happy I got today done and will also force myself into the boxing gym later today. If my knee feels weird then **** it I will use today as a light technical workout but I will get work in.

It might be a good idea at this stage to keep your workouts easy and light.

Have a routine that is effortless to stick to. That way you'll be more likely to engage in physical activity on a frequent basis.

Get your body used to enjoying moving again. Don't have it be torture.

Just some food for thought.

^Nothing wrong with taking a nice walk for an hour if not up for a regular training routine.

Maybe that's the case. Will see how my body feels.

I do sometimes have days where I want to do nothing apart crawl into a ball and sleep and at my worst I do have to force myself to brush my teeth and get out of bed

Todays boxing session was a mix bag. Literally had to force myself to go ( I do get days when I just want to crawl in a ball in my bed and sleep).

Warm up

2 rounds on the bag
5 rounds sparring. I was told this would be 'light technical sparring' so approached it as such and tried to work on clean selective shots and not purring much into them... Other guy had other thoughts and tried taking my head off and using his 5kg/11lb + weight advantage to bully me...
That was the 1st round and then a fuse went off in my mind. Something about a bigger person who has been in the gym trying to take liberties pissed me off.

The 2nd round consisted of me making him miss and triple jabbing him onto the ropes and throwing wild shots as he covered up and throwing wild shots back.

Third round onwards was easy work, the other dude was tired and I was taking pleasure in making him more tired despite being tired aswell.

Did another round on the bag but a trainer told me to go home. Apparently I was too tired and he said for a 2nd session back it was enough. No point throwing sloppy shots on the bag and creating bad habits

Today's boxing session

Warm up
4 rounds on the bag working on movement in and out

3 rounds sparring which didn't go well. Sparred 2 rounds with a much better fighter (even if I was my best version years ago) and my timing etc still off. Postives from those rounds with him are that I know what to work on at home to make sure I never feel so out classed.
Other round was with same guy as Wednesday.

2 more rounds on the bag

Warm down circuit
