Personal Training Blog | Featured client: Rabbani (Week 7)

Run Forrest, RUN! ... err, wait. It should be - Run Rabbani, RUN!




CARDIO BOOM TIME!


Week 7 consists of running, running and more running! Not to mention fartlek too! For this week, gym sessions was reduced to 2 as most of the workouts were done outdoors. And as always, High intensity is the way to go! ;)




Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday


Rabbani has been doing running on his own, averaging 2.5km each day. He also did sets of bodyweight squats and has been trying his best to improve on his running form. I've noticed that he is a heel striker and that is not the right running form! I'll explain about it further in another article.


Thursday


Heavy full body weights training.
Weights were increased by 1.5kg for all exercises and it seems like Rabbani is getting stronger each time! Excellent!


He completed 3x10 sets of:



Squats (Smith machine), Leg extensions, Calf raises (Smith machine + step box)


Lat pulldowns (Wide, narrow, narrowest)


Dumbbell bench pulls, Dumbbell chest flys, Dumbbell bench presses.


Shoulder presses (Machine), Dumbbell lateral raises, Dumbbell shrugs.


Weighted back arches, Tricep pulldowns (Machine), Tricep dips.


Bicep curls (Olympic bar), Concentric bicep curls (Machine)

Of course, ended off the session with abs, 3x 20reps of Tuck ins.
