Pat’s Workouts/Nutrition – Day 1 of 14

I will be writing about my disciplined eating and workouts for the next 2 weeks.  My goal is to provide daily updates, some with videos, about my workouts and eating.  The reason I’m doing this is two fold.  First, I am coming back from an injury and will show you how to get back into the swing of things after an injury.  Second, with the new website, I want to post something daily to keep you coming back to get used to navigating the website.

First Day Post of Website

Yesterday, Sunday, I usually take off from working out.  But, because I’ve been taking it easy at the gym I now want to take advantage of doing something everyday.  Yesterday, I could not get to the gym, so I used my own bodyweight for a great workout at home with Roza.

This is what we did:

2x (5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-5) perfect push-ups

Rest as needed.  If you have a partner, like I did, do 1:1 ratio

Make sure your chest hits the ground and you get full extension at the top

Then

5min Handstand hold against the wall

Then

20×10 dips

30sec rest between

This is a lot of volume so I made sure I protected my body by fueling proper before and after. Here is what I ate:

Before for breakfast

5 scrambled eggs with cheese

3 pieces of bacon

2 piece of sour dough rye

After the workout

Protein smoothie:

Cream, whole milk, whey protein (chocolate), avocado, and a banana

Give it a go and you would be amazed how many gains you can make doing bodyweight movements.  Now there go the excuses for not working out when you can’t get to a gym!
