2026 Strength Training Accountability Thread

[The Expert]

I was on a waitlist for a 9am Pilates class this morning that finally came through last night. Glad to have it out of the way so I can crunch through two days of work before leaving for Princess! I guess I should also pack sometime.

Got my full body workout in this AM and get to move 12” snow this afternoon. Moved my long run to yesterday to beat the storm

Fun weekend of running for distance and a long HIIT class. Surviving a sixty minute HIIT class with Peloton's Becs Gentry should come with an award! But I digress.

Back to strength today after a recovery run. I completed a 30 minute full body class. This one was structured around AMRAPs (as many rounds as possible). I did it, but I think I would have preferred being back running through yesterday's HIIT class.

Did a shorter arm workout today. Laying off the legs this week in prep for Princess.

30 minute total body workout today. Starting to wonder if I should push my mid week workouts to 45 minutes.

Last week wasn't great, only one day at the gym full body workout. Thursday/Friday was snow removal so guess that counts for something.

Got back to the gym yesterday upper body. Planning to be a little better this week.

Last night was a pretty typical lower body day. Decent high intensity effort on the elliptical to start, doubling my tension. I also upped my weight on the adductor and adductor as planned. It felt good and I got that good jittery feeling after...like I really worked them. My calf muscles have been kind of tight of late, so I did a couple of sets of calf presses on the leg press machine. They have dedicated calf machines, but I prefer the deeper range I can get doing calf muscles on the leg press. I ended with rotary torso and added an extra 10lbs on each side, but I think I can probably go up at least another 10 next time.
