Dungeon Date Workout

Dungeon Date Workout 🏋️‍♀️

Friday night dungeon date was all about upper body work 💪 and let me tell you—I definitely need to improve my form and keep building muscle! This one was tough, and I had to take a couple of rests during some of the sets, but I pushed through and got it done. 🔥

The Workout Breakdown:

Warm-Up 🚶‍♀️

- Walk: 3 mph, 0% incline for 5 minutes

A steady walk to get the blood flowing and prepare my body for the lifts ahead.

Strength Training Session 💪🔥

- Pull-up with cable: 3 sets of 10 reps (80 lbs)

- Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise: 3 sets of 10 reps (10 lbs)

- Shoulder Press: 3 sets of 10 reps (10 lbs)

- Yates Row: 3 sets of 10 reps (55 lbs) *need to fix form & reverse grip* 🔧

- Skull Crushers: 3 sets of 10 reps (10 lbs)

This workout really challenged my grip strength, especially during the Yates Row. I need to focus on refining my form and grip technique to ensure I’m engaging the right muscles efficiently.

Cool-Down 💨

- Walk: 3 mph, 0% incline for 5 minutes

Cooling down with an easy walk helped my body transition from high-intensity movement to a relaxed state, minimizing soreness and aiding recovery.

Progress & Takeaways:

Form adjustments are a work in progress, but every rep counts! I’m noticing where I need to improve and making conscious adjustments to get better each time. Pushing through even when it’s tough is how we grow stronger.

Grip Strength & Form Challenges:

I noticed that my grip strength was struggling on the Yates Row, which made it harder to maintain proper form. Over time, grip strength improves with consistent training, but using lifting straps or adjusting my grip width might also help.
