Nonbinary Knight In Training

So school started back up so I have access to the gym again. I’m already three workouts in. I’m starting off a bit slower to get my body used to the gym again. I’m also taking a Tai Chi class for 50 minutes, twice a week. I want to restart my Zombies Run 5k training but I’m waiting until I can buy some new shoes.

So the layout of my workouts is:

This is definitely not going to become a regular thing during this semester but I ended up going to campus today so instead of a run I was able to do some weight work. I also didn’t have a class after so I was able to make today a longer workout.

3x15/20/25- Leg Press

3x10/15/10- Thigh Adductor

2x20- Glute Machine Thingy (Don’t actually know)

3x10/15/10- Barbell Squats

3x10/15/10- Barbell Standing Calf Raises

3x10/15/20- Thigh Abductor

3x10/15/20- Leg Curl

3x10- Elbow Knee Raise

3x20/30/10- Cable Row

3x30s/25s/20s- Plank

This was Monday’s workout. It was decent but a bit more than I expected. I started with too heavy of a barbell, though it was the barbell I had used a week or so before, so I had to switch out part way through.

3x10/15/15- Barbell Curl

3x10/15/15- Barbell Upright Row

3x15/10/15- Barbell Standing Military Press

3x15- Dumbbell Triceps Extension

3x10- Kneeling Pushups

This is last Wednesday's workout so yeah. Late but I still want to post it.

3x10/15/10- Cable Curl

3x10/15/20- Cable Pushdown

3x10/15/20- Leg Curl

3x10/15/20- Thigh Abductor

3x30s- Lying Leg Raise

Pretty good workout if a little shorter than I wanted because I slept through my alarm. Less reps on the barbell stuff because I upped my weight.

3x10 Barbell Squats

3x10 Bent Over Barbell Row

3x10 Overhead Barbell Press

3x20 Russian Twists

This week was just ugh.

Monday I only got to do two of my exercises before I felt sick to my stomach. It sucked. I hate having to bail out of a workout early.

Tuesday I meant to go for a run but my left leg was hurting. Didn't help that I has to be somewhere by 2.

Got through my Wednesday workout which will be posted later.

Today, Thursday, I slept on and didn't have the time to go for a run.

Today started with my mom and I heading towards a nearby park area that has trails. We missed the hike we were hoping to hit but ended up going to another trail. The trail ended up with areas that had to be climbed a bit so we didn't get to finish it when we ran into one area that was a bit too difficult. I'm still proud of what we did.

We got lunch and then went to a night 5k that we had signed up for. It was fun but painful.

10/15/15x3- 20lb Back Squat

20/10/20x3- Cable Row

25/15/10/25x4- Cable Push Down

20/15/15x3- 20lb Calf Raise

30- Lat Pulldowns

I don't know if it's normal to do but when I type out my workouts I do repsxsets and when I slash between reps it means that was the breakdown of the entire exercise. It doesn't mean that in one set I did 20, 15, and 15. Those are three sets. Might be obvious and this might seem stupid to add but whatever.

My workout yesterday ended up being weirder than I realized. It was shorter than I wanted it to be but I messed around with weights and some new exercises. Altogether it wasn't bad just strange.

12/15/8x3 Bench Press Machine

15x3 Upright Barbell Row

15x3 Barbell Curls

20 Elevated Hip Thrusts

20 Bench Dips

20x5 Leg Press

10x3 Tricep Press Machine

Workout was more annoying than I had planned for today, especially the hip thrusts and dips.

Today's unexpected workout that was probably a bad idea. Decided to replay S1-M1. About halfway through my right leg started hurting so I ended up having to walk back uphill a bit slower than I had walked down with a few quick pauses. Also did it later than normal so it was nice and hot outside...I don't like walking in the heat. Also tomorrow I'm going to an event from noon to 6 or 7 or so and I'm afraid of how much of that time will be spent on my feet. Here's hoping I don't suffer too much tomorrow.

Today was better on my feet. Bandaids on the back and a new lacing pattern that loosened the front meant only the bottom blister caused pain. The uphill portion today was harder than usual because part way through the drills I managed to do something to my ankle and it kept twinging whenever it was on a slightly uneven road. Pretty decent overall. Bit nervous for next week when the workout starts but I'll see if I can handle it.

Todaybwas a gym day and I got in my full workout...for the most part. Started feeling a bit bad at the end so I had to pause part way through my last exercise. Less squats and bicep curls per set as I normally would do but I went up in weight. Also varied the weight I was using for the pulldowns and leg extensions.

3x12/16/8 Pulldowns

3x10 Barbell Squats

3x10 Barbell Bicep Curls

3x16 Single-Leg Hamstring Curls

3x12/16/8 Leg Extensions

3x30 sec Planks

Ended up going out and doing my 5k training. Did it outside today instead of on the treadmill. It was...pretty good. The hill back up killed me during the freeform run so I ended up walking the 10 minutes. Altogether though I'm proud that I did it outside and proud of how well I did. My path needs some adjusting but it was good. I'm proud.

Ended up doing another walk about two hours after I returned for thirty or so minutes.

I had a shorter workout than normal yesterday because of some traffic shit on my way to the gym. I only got about 30 minutes or so to workout.

3x10- Bent Over Dumbbell Rows

3x10- Pushups (on knees)

3x10- Russian Twists

3x15- Leg Press

3x15- Tricep Press Down machine thingy I never bothered to learn the name of.

Some of the exercises had different reps, like 1 set was 15 reps and the next set was 20 but that was too much info I wasn’t going to type it here
