Building muscle while losing fat is never easy. I have a very busy schedule so I try to do a little bit of everything during a given workout. Here is what I did today to help build muscle, lean out, and improve mobility.
5:30 Weights:
Barbell circuit warm-up 2 sets of 10 reps: stiff legged deadlifts, rows, high pulls, overhead press, overhead squat.
Deadlifts 8 sets of 5 reps, increasing the weight every other set. Had to cut this short due to the Thai Boxing class about to start.
6:00 Mobility:
Here I did a series of mobility drills to loosen up, focusing on my hips because of excessive tightness (I work a desk job).
6:10-7:30 Thai Boxing:
Warm-up 30 mins non-stop: jogging, high knees, kick backs, push-ups, jumps, feet side to side, feet in front then behind, back wards running, skipping, abdominal work.
