Day 9


Today was the Lakes Region Championship for golf, so I didn't want to hit upper body and be sore during it. So I thought it was smart to hit legs today. I started off on the turf strip where I did some mobility. before mobility, I rolled out and got my muscles loose. I did my usual hip mobility stretches where I followed along with a YouTube video. this is mostly stretches but also some movements that help warm up the muscles in my hip area. Then I did some band work where I focused on my hip flexors, which are super tight due to injuries in the past. After that, I went into the weight room and did some back squats. I went pretty heavy but not too heavy. I did 5-8 reps for 4 working sets. then after that, I did lunges with the barbell. I went really heavy on these with 3-5 reps for each leg and for 5 sets. Then I hopped on the hamstring curl machine and did some sled pushes.

Lunchtime was an opportunity to refuel and replenish my energy levels. I typically stuck to my go-to meal, an egg salad sandwich with chips, white rice, and a bowl of fruit. It provided a balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, and nutrients. Afternoons were dedicated to specific sports training, whether it was hockey, golf, or rollerblading. It was an exciting time, and I even had the opportunity to

 Day 6 Woke up pretty late because it was a Saturday and headed over to breakfast as fast as possible. I just had cereal and yogurt. After breakfast I headed to the gym to get a work out in. I had chest today so I did dumbbell bench and inline bench. With some triceps at the end. Then I quickly headed over to the rink and shot pucks and rollerbladed. I was heading home so I couldn't do more than an hour in the rink. Hours 3 Total 26

After breakfast, I headed to the gym where I looked up hip mobility stretches and followed along with this guy doing hip mobility exercises. it was actually really helpful and my hips and lower back felt really good. Then I went into the gym and hit chest and shoulders. I did flat bench and incline bench then shoulder press. Then I did some cardio on the fan bike. Then I went over to lunch where I had my usual.
