Workout: Chest and Triceps Started with a good stretch - Bench Press: 3x10reps @ 1plate - Pull-downs: 3x20reps @42.5lbs each handle - Pec Fly superset: each side individually (10reps) both sides together (5reps) @ 82.5lbs/ 3sets - Behind the head hammer curls: 3x15reps @40lbs - Tricep press: 3x15reps @180lbs - I don’t know what it’s called but the exercise where I’m holding on to both sides of the rope handles, I lean back all the way and then walk inwards with my back almost parallel to the ground and then I pull upwards. I did 5reps for 2 sets. It’s a really good one, I’ll have to do it more often

First day back after a long break time, to flip the script and get my shit together.

My go to breakfast: Scrambled Egg whites with 36grams of feta cheese, spinach and homemade maple jalapeños. On the side: 2 pieces of Ezekiel toast with peanut butter. A few pieces of cantaloupe Glass of water

Decision has been made to train for a Sub 3hr marathon. Mississauga Marathon, April 2025. I’ve been dealing with a sternum injury for a while now so I haven’t been able to push hard in the gym. Still gotta get after it tho, so at least this gives me something hard to work towards. This will be my 7th marathon/ultra and my most intense marathon prep yet🏃⚡️💪🏼 This one is way outside of my comfort zone, but that’s where the growth happens. Who else is training for something in 2025?!

I missed the gym 2 days in a row, it was the first time I missed the gym back to back like that in weeks since I’ve started this fitness “journey”. Things happen, just gotta hop right back into it💪🔥 Workout: Leg Day - Seated Leg Press (platform moves): 3x20reps @130lbs - Leg Extension: 3x15reps @180lbs - Seated Leg Curl: 3x15reps @180lbs - Seated Leg Press: 3x15reps @12plates (6 on each side) - Dumbbell squats: 3x15reps @45lbs - Calf extension: 3x30reps @180lbs Here’s a video of one of my seated leg press sets. After watching my form, I realize that I could be squatting the weight a little closer to my chest, like I could go deeper with the reps but it’s still a lot of weight and I think overall I did well. Let me know if there’s anything I should be improving on! https://youtube.com/shorts/oywmcPAPZ3s?si=Y-vggBP06OEpN0ju
