It's been a while since I've done a "What I Ate" & Workout Wednesday, so today I thought I'd share a good little upper body and glute workout I did this past Monday.
It was fun to change things up a bit with some density training. Basically for density training, you pick 2-3 exercises, choose a weight that is about your 10 rep max, and perform sets of 5-6 repetitions. Then you try to simply get as many sets as possible within a certain time frame, anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
Here's what I did:
10 minutes, as many sets as possible of:
Bar dips x 5-6 (with 15 lbs added)
Seated cable rows x 6-8
9 rounds
10 minutes, as many sets as possible of:
Underhand grip pulldowns x 6-8
1 arm push press x6
8 rounds
5 minutes:
Cable pull-throughs x15
Banded clams x10/leg
4 rounds
5 minutes:
Back extensions x15(with 25lbs added)
Farmer's walks x distance
4 rounds
What I ate:
Meal 3 4:30-
3.5 oz buffalo shredded chicken, 1 handful nuts, 1/2 cup corn
Meal 4 7:30-

I'm preparing for a photoshoot that I have coming up in a week for MuscleTech, so calories are slightly normal than usual for a workout day. Don't worry, no crazy restriction or anything! I literally JUST found out about the shoot last week, so I've changed nothing with my eating until this week, and the only thing that's different is that I'll be doing carb cycling this week until the shoot on Thursday. I'll have a few days of moderate to lower carb, and then I'll start carbing up a few days pre-shoot.
Wish me luck! I'm always nervous about doing things like this!
