4/3/26 - work calisthenics lower

A quick and simple leg day at work. I wanted to hit abs too but didn't have time. I went into this session with the fatigue of the previous two days, but im very happy with my performance. Elevated Dragon squat + pistol squat 1,4,3,2 + 6, 5, 4 Since im not splitting time with pushes and pulls, I did an extra backoff set. I think ill stick with a rep target of 10 and 15 in as few sets as possible.  Single leg/arm hip thrust 6,8,7 These were tough after all the single leg squatting.  Alternating Shiko 12,6,6 I was going to finish with high rep bodyweight squats, but I wanted to round off the day with an abduction. The rep drop-off was brutal.  My glutes had enough. 

4/2/26 - work conditioning "cindy"

I was a little disappointed that I only matched last session. Perhaps im just slightly fatigued from yesterday's workout. The positive is that my squats felt effortless compared to last time.  Dragon squat compression strength and flexibility drills ---"Cindy" WoD--- 20 minute amrap: 5 pullups 10 pushups 15 squats 9 total rounds ---

4/1/26 - I can't complete a structured program. work calisthenics.

I was too busy at home to do my workout so I did a long workout with the free time I had at work. I might have to switch to a more flexible type of training schedule.  My elevated Dragon squats are looking better than ever. They left my legs tired by the time I did the pistol squats.  ---Giant set--- Elevated Dragon squat + pistol squat 2,3,3,3,1 + 3,5 Wall headstand pushup + pseudo plance  pushup 3,3,2,3,2 + 7,5 Pullups + fatbar hammer curls 10,10,7,7,6 + 11,9 ,--- ---superset--- Lying leg raise 11,8, 8 My special hip thrust 10,7,7 ---

3/24/26 - W2D1 Acrobatics and Conditioning v2

I went into this session at LA fitness with only 4 hours of broken sleep. I had to skip hip thrusts and wasnt able to do acrobatics at home. Despite that I loved this session.  I pushed myself on the squats and was FINALLY able to do more than the bare minimum.  Press still feels week but it's an improvement over last week and I was tired.   Squat 3s  275 x 5 Press 3x10 105 x 10,10,7 Assisted chin-up  -50lbs x 13, 13, 8

3/22/26 - W1D3 Acrobatics and Conditioning v2

I remember being a little tired for this session, but it went better than the unlogged   trial version of this day I ran a week prior to starting the cycle. On that session I only got 2 reps @ 500 on hip thrust, so im happy to bring my numbers back up. Im happy to have kept so much of my hip thrust strength on this cut.  Press feels weak unfortunately.  I may have to bring it down.  Squat 3x10 195lbs Hip thrust  500lbs x 3 315lbs x 8 Press 130lb x 5 Chinups 3xf (forgot exact reps) Acrobatics

3/20/26 - W1D2 Acrobatics and Conditioning v2

------home------ Bench top set 180 x 7 Deadlift 5s pro 285 x 5 Acrobatic practice  ------ I've lost so much strength. I also dont have a lot of confidence during deadlifts after popping my back a few weeks ago. At least I look decent and finally got back under 190lbs.  Aerial progress is still infinitely approaching....   ------work------ "Cindy" WoD,  20:00 AMRAP circuit Pullup x 5 Pushup x 10 BW squat x 15 9 total rounds completed ------ My knees felt a little worn and I wanted to focus on my conditioning today so I did the Cindy wod during my lunch break. Didn't have enough time to sneak in extra glute work. 

3/18/26 - W1D1 Acrobatics and Conditioning v2

Ive been having a hard time finding balance between my 3 main goals: glute/leg hypertrophy, acrobatic skill work and cutting weight. I think I finally settled on a routine that works... this current routine is very similar to my Acrobatics and Conditioning template except instead of rotating 4 training days, I do 3 set training days a week.  ------At Home------ Lately my workouts have been feeling really bad. Im down almost 20lbs on my cut and it's impacted my strength to a large degree. Today in particular I was feeling crappy going into the workout. On the plus, my hip thrust form felt great and my acrobatic session was extremely productive. --- Superset--- Press 3x10 100lb x 10, 10, 7 Chinups / Inverted rows 10, 10, 5 / 16, 12, 8 --- Squat 5s 255 x 5 Hip thrust 315lb x 6,5,5   Acrobatic Practice ------ ------At work------ This session was very significant to me because it's the result of breaking out of my social media addiction . I do the occasional work workout, but I hav...
