Once I quit my job and have no access to the company gym, I was going to do what you are doing above - buying dumbbell bars & build a bench to workout at home (garage to be exact).   I don't want to be a mini-me version of Arnold.   Just want to keep my muscle from shrinking that comes with getting old.


Retirement?

BTW, has anyone had any experience with HIIT cardio?

I'm thinking of incorporating one of these two into my cardio routine but they seem really intense (which, is the point, I guess?).  I like the first one because, tbh, I'm not sure I want to spend 50 minutes on the treadmill which what would be required of the second one.

http://hiit-blog.dailyhiit.com/hiit-workout/20-minute-hiit-treadmill-workout/

1. Warm up - 5 minute light jog and hip, ankle, knee circles

2. HIIT Treadmill Workout:

  • 1 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute run at 8pmh and 2 incline
  • 1 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute run at 9mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute sprint at 10mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute sprint at 11mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 1 minute sprint at 12 mph and 2 incline
  • 90 second walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 30 second sprint at 12 mph and 4 inclin e
  • 90 second walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 30 second sprint at 12 mph and 6 inclin e
  • 2 minute walk at 4mph and 2 incline
  • 30 second sprint at 12 mph and 8 incline
  • walk for 3 minutes to cool down

Note -

When there is 15 seconds left in the walk I put my feet on the sides of the treadmill, increase the speed to the desired level, and jump on the treadmill when its time.

As soon as the sprint is over I put my feet onto the sides of the treadmill, reduce speed to walk, and step back on the treadmill.

This method is much more efficient and effective than running while changing the speed.

3. Steady State low intensity cardio (65% heart rate): 25 minutes at 3.5mph and 3 incline

I do HIIT on the elliptical once in a while. I start with a five minute warm up. Then I'll jump right into max elevation and resistance for one minute - going as hard as I can - then drop it down to a very low setting for two minutes, then again max for one minute. I'll repeat for 20 minutes. It's a hell of a workout, as long as you go 100% for the one minute intervals.

Stayed late at work and couldn't get to the gym because I wanted to watch the Ranger game but was able to workout from home and did a HIIT workout on the treadmill. It was pretty intense but it felt good. Burned 369 calories.

Started a new HIT routine this week that I got from Drew Baye after a phone consultation with him. Very knowledgeable expert on HIT.

We have split the 10 exercises in order to shorten the workout time. So two workouts a week. Still working on the proper weight to use.

Yesterday did:

Deadlift

Overhead press

Pulldowns

Calf Raises

Wrist curls

Wrist extensions

Added these last two to make the workout more golf specific.

started a new upper/lower split today. 2 days on, day 3 is cardio and flexibility/abs.

bench press

incline dumbbell bench press

bent rows

lat pull down

overhead press (first time I have ever incorporated this exercise..wow im weak)

barberll curls

tricep rope pulldowns

standing chops

ended with stretching and rumble foam rolling.


On to a new regime and trying to find appropriate weights for doing fewer reps per set.  But, from my workout last night, I did:

Incline Bench Press

Bench Press

Close-Grip Bench Press

Side Lateral Raise

Seated Barbell Military Press

20 minutes HIIT cardio on the treadmill, burning 367 calories.

Tried to do a dip but not going to happen without a spotter.

Was going to do calf exercises, too, but had to rush home to watch Game 6 of the Rangers game so, it was sacrificed.

No school today so did some HIIT around the neighborhood after the floods. 26 minutes, never walked would do 1 minute of slow jog to 1 minute of faster to 30 seconds of nearly sprinting down to 2-3 minutes of slow jog.

Really hoping to get my weights higher up over the summer and I have already dropped from 177 to 174 and am hoping I get to 165 in a few weeks.

Getting a gym membership again, finally. It's been a long time, muscles, a long time.

Not sure I'm prepared for the one month of paralysis yet.

Getting sick, life, and work has gotten in the way of my gym time but was able to go today before going to work today.

    • Finland: I've played Mid-Night Golf in Finland. Really cool. I looked at the schedule for my week out there and I saw that we were teeing off at 9PM... Feels weird, 9 PM tee time. But it was really great. We finished well after 1AM and sat around and drank on the golf course terrace. It was cool. It's really easy to loose track of time when the sun doesn't set.  Here's a picture of me in Finland hitting my approach on the final hole. It's roughly 1:30AM in this photo.  Egypt: Another cool experience was playing golf in Egypt. The entire course is sand. The greens are called browns, cuz they are just sand with oil poured on them and pounded down a bit. Your ball gets kind of oily when you putt, but the caddy cleans it for you after each hole. You carry around a little piece of fake grass (maybe 2 foot square) and place your ball on it each time before you hit. That is except when you go into a sandtrap. The sandtraps are just areas marked off where you don't get to use your little piece of astro-turf. Sometimes they are dug down a bit to make a bunker, sometimes not.  Spain: No special events or anything, but I played a bunch of golf in Spain in the mid-1990's. At that time Spain's economy wasn't doing the best and Europe hadn't quite switched to the Euro. So Spain was using the Peseta. The country of Spain has some incredibly breathtaking courses. (incredible scenery in general) But because of the conversion from the dollar to the Peseta (If memory serves it was 150 to 1), I got to play them for what I remember as being incredibly inexpensive prices. Gorgeous country and really nice people.  Holland or The Netherlands: I lived for a couple of years in what's called The Flevoland in Holland. It's one of the Dutch provinces and it's all land that was recovered from the sea. So, it's all under sea-level. One of the courses I played a few times out there had flags on every hole to show just how deep the water would be if it wasn't for the dams. 
    • Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory. 
    • Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.
    • It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.
    • Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.
