Basic Barbell Training

It’s been a HOT minute since I’ve been on here, however, after a long and unanticipated hiatus, I am ramping up for something BIG!
I have also been focusing a lot on my own personal health journey, focusing on mindful eating as opposed to macros (to some degree) and focusing on my mental health more, so it’s been an interesting ride. I’ve had a lot going on in my personal life over the last 6 weeks, so it’s just been a VERY emotional time for me. However, I’m back, I’m ready to be here again and hope to bring some amazing content to you guys! How have all of you been?!
Why don’t I post workout videos like many “fitfluencers”?
As much as I would love to share my workouts everyday that I go to the gym, truth be told, you’d be bored out of your mind. Every week, seeing the same 6-8 workouts on the same days. I wouldn’t have much to share, as I follow “block” periods, where my workouts change every 6 weeks (give or take) and that those videos of individuals changing their workouts everyday, is not always an accurate visual.
My programming is very specific to me and me only (just like when I create one for anyone, it’s tailored to YOUR needs), so I don’t want you hoping to see results with a program that isn’t built for you and wondering why it’s not changing a thing (especially when there’s so much more than just ‘exercising’ that goes into it).
If you are hoping to get a program that is 100% designed for you, shoot me a message! Let’s set up a program that works for YOU!

Now that restrictions seem to be lifting all over, you may be ready to get back to the gym. I mean who isn’t?! However, there are 5 things you should keep in mind when heading back to the gym!
1. What was light before may be heavy now. Don’t just jump back into it, especially if it’s been a while. Ease into those workouts!
2. Muscle pain may be more prominent than you remember. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will probably be pretty active for the first little bit. That’s OKAY!
3. Muscle memory, your body may not move like it did before, again, ease into those workouts. Focus on form and then focus on the weight after the form has been perfected!
4. Rest days! Getting back to the gym may be more tiring/exhausting than you remember. MAKE SURE you are taking those rest days, they are so important, mentally AND physically.
5. Hydration - make sure you are drinking enough water, before, during, and after your workouts. This can definitely help with your recovery days.
What is a useful tip you received before heading back to the gym?!

What is the one thing that gets you out of your funk? For me, it’s reading and working out, however, I do get a better mood by doing gym workouts vs home workouts.
