How did y’all do the lateral lunges? I see them done with a single db in goblet position, 2 dbs but both drop between your legs, and the dumbbells on either side of the bent leg.

That's the first thing that came up when I googled so I was going to do that. I kind of like the sound of that goblet position though.

This is what I did. But I guarantee I looked goofier.

That’s how the video I watched did it. I‘m doing light enough weight today that I think I’ll try it goblet style or maybe both ways.

Oh I guess when I read the plan it says db in each hand

You are correct. I saw that when it was time to do them and did them that way for the first set. I've been having a little issue with my left knee for a few weeks and it did not like the ones to my left side. After the first set I went body weight.

Decided to give the program party a shot. Had run a couple PPSA workouts in the past and wanted to join in with the TD crew.

Got through the warmup and deadlifts this morning then on my 2nd rep of RFESS felt a tweak in my left hamstring. Still in a good bit of pain, so there’s really no shot I can continue with a program so heavy on the posterior chain. I really liked the look of this one, so it’s a definite bummer. I’ll have to pick it back up at some point in the future.

W1D1 down

I was on vacation all last week with little to no internet or cell service... it was really nice being disconnected. I didn't hit the gym or meal prep last week. It was time to pay the piper today and it SUCKED.

Deadlifts were fine as were the chinups. Those RFESS had me all messed up. Id never done those before and it took me a while to figure out foot placement. I plan to do a lot of those over the month using just body weight. Need to get the mechanics smoothed out. I also discovered that my left leg is weaker than my right. I thought the DB side laterals were interesting; not hard per say, but awkward. I started extremely light after reading the thread. Ended up using 10# DBs. I'll try to gradually increase it over the month.

Looking forward to getting in the gym early to get my thrusts out of the way before it gets busy.

This plan definitely has the potential for some awkward gym interactions.

That sucks. Were you going extra heavy or was it just a freak thing? Maybe you can get back with us next month.

35 lb dumbbells. Similar weight to what I usually do. Not entirely sure what happened honestly

Embrace it baw. Maybe someone will ask if you’re doing Let’s Get Peachy.

I’m hoping I can time it right too and knock these out when it’s not busy. But my luck it will be crazy busy tomorrow

Day 2 done.

I gave those hip thrusts all I had but I couldn’t get the set up right. I was hoping to do them on the smith machine because that’s what I’ve seen the girls use before. But our smith machine didn’t come down low enough due to the little safety things. I’m looking forward to seeing how y’all did them.

I did the exact same thing last week on the RFESS press. 35 lb dumbells, went down on the first rep and felt a little pop

How’s it feeling now? I’m feeling less pain today but definitely still some discomfort and tightness there

W1D2 done

Not going to lie, this plan is more intense than I thought. Squats had me breathing pretty decent and I could feel the pullovers deep in my chest. The rest of it (rows, hammer curls, RDLs, DB press, dips) felt pretty good. To date, I've been doing the bench dips using just body weight. I think I'm going to start add a DB onto it as they were easier than expected.

I just sucked it up and went for the hip thrusts. There is a girl at the gym who runs something very similar to 'Lets Get Peachy' as I see her doing most of these lifts on a regular basis. I just copied her method for the most part (she also uses a resistance band around her lower thighs). Put the bar across my hips and layed down on the bench. I kept my butt and back on the bench then slowly walked forward until it was just my shoulders/upper back on the bench. I definitely looked awkward getting into (and out of) position. As far as the actual motion, it wasn't bad but I could definitely feel the burn. I went with 75# for all 3 sets.
