Strength Training Progress – July 22 2023

July 22, 2023

4 months & 3 days of working out.

Weight – 7/22/2023

93 lbs – we’ve hit 93 lbs! I’ll have to check back in my log to see if we’ve been 93 lbs before? Regardless… LFG!

Workout Routine – 7/22/2023

I watched a tiktok about a woman’s cycle and how certain days/weeks you have different energy & strength levels and there are some days/weeks where you should work out hard and others you should take it easy. I mentioned it a few days ago that I’m in my “luteal” phase, which means my energy is shit. I think I need to map out what days/weeks are better for full body workouts / intense strength training and what days I should do lighter weights.

Because holy shit, I am TIRED today. I could barely do 10 pushups, whereas last week I was ripping out 15 no problem. Will draw a calendar and report back.
