I DID NOT LIFT WEIGHTS FOR 15 DAYS😱 _ Yesterday was my 1st day back to lifting weights in 15 days. The last day that I lifted weights was 7/2 before @ericgahanatc & I left for vacation. Yesterday 7/18 was my 1st day back at it. _ While we were on vacation my daily exercise was mainly hiking, hill sprints, swimming, snorkeling & 1 day of surfing, w/ only 2 days that I did a TRX & band workout. It felt great to take a break from my daily routine of strength training & it was hard not to take advantage of the ocean view & Hawaiian scenery for hill sprints & hikes. _ I know that sometimes it can be scary to take a break from your regular exercise routine; maybe you fear that you will gain weight, get softer, lose strength? These fears are normal. HOWEVER, it can be a good change of pace for your body to do something completely different for a week or 2 & you will more than likely come back rested, refreshed & stronger. _ Yesterday I followed the same plan for the training day, the day before we left on 7/1. This plan is from Day 1 of my Summer Shred v.2.0 program. I adjusted weights & reps a bit & ended up switching out snatches for more swings because my hands couldn’t handle the snatches w/ the 100 degree dry, desert heat. However, my strength & endurance were still there & it felt great to swing a kettlebell again. _ Some changes I made: _ ➡️Pull-ups: Before vacation, weighted 5 sets x 4 reps 10kg/22lbs) | After vacation, BW 5 sets x 6 reps _ ➡️Presses: Before vacation, 10 sets x 2 reps 20kg/44lbs | After vacation, 10 sets x 3 reps 18kg/40lbs _ ➡️Double Kettlebell Deadlifts: Before vacation, 10 sets x 3 reps 88kg/195lbs | After vacation, 10 sets x 3 reps 72kg/160lbs _ ➡️1H Swings: Before vacation, 20 sets 7 R 7 L w/ a 20 sec/20 sec work/rest split 20kg/44lbs | After vacation, Same except reps were 5 R 5 L _ How do you get back into your exercise routine after vacation? Please share below👇🏽 I want to know! _ There are ONLY 6 spots left at the Early Bird discount rate for I Am Not Afraid To Lift® Iowa @gritgym on 9/21/19 & ONLY 3 spots left at the Early Bird discount rate for Lift® Albany, NY on 10/20/19 @her_strength_studio Links in bio to sign up👆🏽
ALOHA👋🏽FROM OUR FAVORITE COVE🌺🌴🌊🐠🤙🏽! _ The hubs @ericgahanatc & I leave our current favorite place on earth, Miloli’i Beach Cove, & I head back to Las Vegas today. _ Vacation this year was AHHMAZING 🤩! It made up for the volcano 🌋 VOG last year & having less time to relax & enjoy because of wedding. _ We didn’t make it to the volcano this year but we made it back to Papakolea, hiked Captain Cook, snorkeled multiple times in our beautiful beach cove & checked out Hapuna Beach, plus many other things. _ The volcano will have to wait until next year along with an ATV tour of the waterfalls. _ There’s so much to do on the Big Island we can’t wait to get back to explore. _ Even though we’re sad to leave paradise & wish we could stay here another few weeks as a destination work place, we must head back to @ironbodybruno & Eric to his job at Cirque. Until next year Big Island 🌴! Mahalo for another stellar trip in the books 😍! ___________ #bigisland #hawaii #bigislandlove #sun #surf #snorkeling #summervacation #vacation
Another awesome #throwback shot from our wedding 7.8.18 😍🌺 _____ “I take you as my friend and love, beside me and apart from me, in laughter and in tears, in conflict and serenity, asking that you be, none other than yourself. I give to you this day, a promise of my love, as we go forth, as partners for life.” 😍❤️🌺 @ericgahanatc _____ 📷: @wedding_resource_hawaii _____ #destinationwedding #bigisland #hawaii #kona #milolii #love #forever #anemilolii2018 #hawaiianairlines

Two Times Bodyweight Deadlift: Unreasonable Standard or Realistic Goal?

A little over a week ago one of my sisters in strength, Catherine Marvel, who had previously done some distance coaching with me and also attended I Am Not Afraid To Lift Boston in November 2014 at Iron Body Studios, asked me this question in a an email: “Hey Artemis, Got a question for you.  I was talking to a friend and mentioned that in our gym being able to deadlift twice… Read More
