Monday Morning Workout: Do you even lift bro?!

Subscriber Request.

I am often asked what my diet consists of, whether I take pre-workout or other supplements, and if I lift. I will answer all of these questions in an article later this week. However, I was very strict in my routine for years pre-covid and stuck to it diligently. Once the gyms closed, especially our work gym, I lost much of what I worked for. Around early March of this year, I dialed it all back in. The gyms were back open, and I was no longer getting yelled at for not wearing a mask walking to the gym water fountain. I actually had a membership revoked for that…

I have since surpassed my pre-covid fitness and owe it to discipline, diet, and consistency. One of my subscribers wanted to know if I have any lift days. Most of my workouts are bodyweight movements, kettlebells, core work, and carries. But I do have lift days. I do a big lift for upper and lower body weekly. I wanted to share one of my lift days from last week that I passed on to them.

You can start by finding yourself a good soundtrack or podcast to get you through.

Warm-up: 1-mile run. Start slow until you feel warmed up. Usually, around .5 miles, I start hitting that 8 min mile or lower pace.

Dynamic stretch until loose.

Workout- With this workout, I never lift until failure. There are times when I do, but it’s rare. My last sets, it’s a struggle, but I finish them without total muscle failure.
