Time for a Steel Dad update. We moved into our new place, and are working hard to get the repairs done and other renovations before we move in the bulk of our belongings. So essentially we are still camping... just now we are camping in a living room with our sons while we work on the house during the day.
As for workouts, trying to squeeze them in is a bit of a challenge. More than that, I still don't have my actual gym, so I can't do my full routines until it's set up at the new house. For now, I am walking a mile and then going straight into a resistance circuit. Nothing huge or overly taxing, but enough to let my muscles know they aren't forgotten.
1 mile walk.
Then 3 circuits of:
Pushups
DB Rowing (60lbs)
DB shoulder press (60 lbs)
Hammer curl (35-60 lbs)
Triceps overhead db press (60 lbs)
Body weight squats
Body weight lunges
Crunches
Mountain climbers
There is no rest at all, as I need to make sure my workouts are done super fast these days in order to have enough time for the work on the house. Sometimes I cut out the mile walk if I am doing something like today where I spent a few hours jack-hammering a driveway. The circuit takes 10-15 minutes and can be done with hardly any space at all, so it's a good fall back plan for now, but I can't wait until my gym is in place!
I am a drug-free powerlifter. After a 14 year layoff, I have once again started competing. I won the 2016 Rocky Mountain Regionals, 2017 Utah State, and took 3rd at the Drug-tested Nationals. The goal of this blog is to relay some information that I have found helpful so that other busy dads can get back into the game, whether they are powerlifting, or getting back into shape.
