Monday|Deload Week 4|Day One

I will just mention that DELOAD week means lesser weights — so my deload week will be with my core lifts and assistance exercises as well; normally it will be around 40-60 percent of my 1-RM. 

 
 
  • Standing barbell shoulder press: 3 x 5

 

  • 40% of 90% of 1-RM: 30 lb
  • 50% of 90% of 1-RM: 40 lb
  • 60% of 90% of 1-RM: 45 lb

 

I had to use the EZ bar for the first two because the barbell weights 45 lb

 
  • Clean & Press: 5 x 8, 6, 3, 100 lb
  • Standing DB straight arm front delt raise above head: 5 x 8, 20 lb
  • Arnold DB press: 5 x 8, 40 lb

Cardio

Four rounds of:

  1. Jumping jacks: 60 reps
  2. burpees: 20 reps

Monday marks a HUGE accomplishment for me. I performed a clean press for the first time and was able to do 100 lb, I have never push pressed 100 lb before, let alone doing it with the clean at the same time. I did take a video of me performing 4 reps: https://www.instagram.com/shaylon_fitnesswonderwoman/?hl=en (scroll down the IG a few and you will see the video) I feel really good about it and hopefully my weights will continue to increase along with my strength.

You can assume I have a love for fitness & a love for Wonderwoman -- both assumptions are correct. I am an ACSM certified personal trainer of 8+ years -- I currently reside in Ohio and live a simplistic life at the age of 29. If I am not lifting, I am eating, sleeping, traveling, exploring, or movie watching. I recently moved during a pandemic, now I am focused on self care (self love), building a business of my own in personal training, becoming a professional blogger, starting a podcast and doing things that make me happy! I am a sister, daughter, and loyal friend --- I love everyone's dog and I am on a mission to pet as many dogs as possible everywhere I go! LOL. My mission is to talk health (physical/mental), design programming, motivational speak, learn, grow, prosper, build others and make as many people smile as possible because I want nothing more than to be the change I seek in the world.
