Today for breakfast I headed over to Jakes and got a Breakfast Bomb and some orange juice. Then after eating we all headed to the gym to get our work-out in. I was a little sore from hitting legs yesterday so I stretched for a good amount of time so I didn't strain any muscles. After stretching I got to my workout, I warmed up my back like I always do before hitting chest. if I don't warm up my back before hitting chest I can't lift to my full potential and I feel a lot of pain in my shoulders if I don't. I did flat barbell bench then went to incline dumbbell press. Then I did some tricep pull downs and over head extensions. After our life we went to lunch where I had my usual again. then after lunch we grabbed our roller blades and played some street hockey in the ted. Then I went to gold and had dinner after. It was BLTs with pasta salad. My calorie intake was 2610 and my protein was 109 grams 355 grams of carbs and 83 grams of fats. In total we had 5 hours today for a grand total of 10 hours.

 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.  Hours 3 Total 37

 Reflection Week One This week has been filled with intense physical activity and a strong focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My mornings often started with a nutritious breakfast, providing me with the energy I needed for the day ahead. I made sure to prioritize stretching before my workouts, particularly focusing on my hip flexors to alleviate their tightness. This helped prepare my body for the tuff leg workouts that followed. During my weightlifting sessions, I emphasized proper form over heavyweights to ensure I was training effectively and reducing the risk of injury. 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...

Reflection 2 I think what I learned from this week was that it is important to listen to your body but also always showing up. Despite my lack of energy some days, I decided to focus on mobility exercises to warm up my muscles. Rolling out my back, quads, IT band, and hamstrings helped me loosen up and prepare for the day. While I initially intended to do a full back workout, my sickness stopped me from pushing further. Listening to my body and adapting my routine was important to prevent any injuries in my recovery. Another notable workout session involved a strategic decision based on an event. With the Lakes Region Championship for golf, I wisely chose to prioritize leg exercises to avoid upper body soreness during the competition. Before hitting the weights, I dedicated time to mobility and stretching, particularly focusing on my hip area. By following a YouTube video, I incorporated various movements that targeted tight hip flexors due to past injuries. Squats, lunges, and hamstr...
