Keeping Up With The Yates': A Couple's Training Log

Very cool about helping the deer. Much respect for that. A nice little bonus to the scenery and relaxation.

I've been here since #16. Dude you ain't missing much. Nobody works out and all they do is fight and argue. Lmao!!!

Actually it's a love fest of gym sweat and excessive gains, and occasional PDA and innuendo. Lol. Definitely a cool log. Male and female perspectives together are interesting.

Me and YatesWifey04 both got a good laugh out of this! you're the man, Jebrook
 
Good evening!! It was great to get back in the gym this morning. The much needed R&R paid off, and I was feeling great! My program is starting to switch things up a bit. So, instead of full body, today was a lower body day.

Deadlift
105x5x5

Goblet squat w/kettlebell
40x5x5

Reverse lunges w/Db's
20x5x5

Leg press machine
140x5x5

Farmer's walk w/Db's
35x5
*walked the length of the gym (down & back) ~50 standard steps*

Step up balance
10x5

*Edited to add calf raises (didn't realize they weren't here until this morning)*
Calf raises - smith machine
80x5x5

Weighted Donkey kicks w/Db
8x10x5

Captain's chair knee raises
10x5

I then went to PiYo tonight. Needless to say, my legs will feel it tomorrow! Thankfully, tomorrow is an upper body day.

Nice numbers getting stronger!
 
Nice to do a workout after a well planned break. I really enjoy a break when I feel I've earned it and really enjoy getting back after some well deserved rest. Sign of a healthy mind and body. Ignore the fact I am killing myself in this prep though :(
 
Love the pics from the trip. Hope you all enjoy the next leg of your vacay next week too!

I'm wrecked this morning, could barely do 5 minutes on the elliptical to warm up! Legs are getting some serious definition though. Will post pics at the end of my osta run before I kick off phase 2 of this cycle

Stretching and a relaxing paced walk may be more in order.
 
Steady killing in here. Hope the legs loosen up for ya!

Weighed in at 158 again today. Weight has been pretty consistent but fat loss gets more and more obvious. This is my first time using OL osta and I really want to smack myself for ever buying any other brand. Planning on a little abs and cardio in the morning.
 
Playing catch up. I've had my hands a little full with a sick little one at home.

Wednesday....I had a nasty headache. So, it wasn't my best workout, but I got through it.

Overhead squats (not my strong suite)
20x12x3

Db Bench press
15x12x3

Db row
12.5x12x3

Split squat w/Db's
12.5x12x3

Alternating shoulder press
12.5x12x3

Db pullover
15x12x3

Unilateral french press
5x12x3

Alternating curls
10x12x3

I was pretty sore Wednesday, after mainly focusing on legs Tuesday. My body seems to be accustomed to the full body workouts now.

Thursday...cardio & a little abs

Cardio...30 mins on the treadmill at highest incline

Hammer crunch
10x10x4

Side bends with kettlebell
10x10x4

I had planned on going to PiYo tonight too, but I've been dealing with some tummy issues since late afternoon (hopefully not a stomach bug). So, I decided to take it easy & not push my body too much.

Now, the stress of packing for 3 people to fly across country for a week begins!! Procrastinate much?!?
