30 Days of Blood flow restriction training with power cuffs

Pretty happy with the results, feeling stronger and having an easier time with weights :D

On a few of those weeks I didn’t register all the warmup/cooldown because I wanted to hit the 2000 workout on my 5 years anniversary

My official start date of this fitness program is the first december 2018 Wooooo :D

30 days transformation pictures !

I often get discouraged because of pain and slow down a lot so really happy with making it to the end and workout around the pain :D

Taking a few days break from powercuffs to let shoulder rest and to catch up on weekly live workout before going back to it :D ( also finally got what I ordered to help with lower back so results should starts coming faster now =D can’t wait !!)

Week 4 : Alright, last week, heading strong into it but my left shoulders began acting up again, I kept going, I feel a lot better after a workout so I often have to remind myself of that and to remember that when I began 5 years ago it was very challenging as well with a lots of issue that are gone today! I I swapped Chest and Back with Leg and Shoulders for the last two ( the powercuffs - beginner is the Leg and shoulder one )

Week 3 : back to the 6 exercises workout, decided to go easier on the first 30 reps, adding a bit more warm up since i’m not used to weight lifting yet! Very similar to previous week, it’s getting easier, I increased the weights by 1 kilos, to 3 kilos total (6.6 pounds)! On to last week :D

Week 2 : I took it easy because of the pain/issue - went with the beginner powercuffs program ( 4 exercises instead of 6 ) went pretty good, following the same plan, warm up, workout, cooldown with the ddpy workout in between ( I haven’t taken a day off in a couple of years) I’m doing Decompressin’ w Yoga doc and jacked shoulders & traps a few times during the months, those two are really helpful for my spine and shoulders! ( also doing breathing to give me a timer when I work on my cervical spine with a specific exercise!)

Alright, I had a lot of trouble with shoulder and some pain/soreness, I didn’t update as I went so I’ll do that now ( I really need to improve my discipline on posting regularly!)

Week 1 : Went with the standard power cuffs program to begin with ( every other day, starting with Biceps and Triceps, then Chest and Back, finishing with Leg and Shoulders)

Went with 2 kilos ( 4.4 pounds) and resistance band (working out from home, no machine for some exercises) Starting at the lowest, making sure I don’t overdo it, and building from there Had some pain after the Chest and Back workout, took an extra day of no powercuffs weight lifting to give more time for my body to rest ( I went too hard with the resistance band, I’m unsure how to make sure I have the right band and don’t go to hard yet) On to the next week !

On the above picture is the First week of workout ( I can’t make it match the exact start date unfortunately, it always starts at Sunday and I began the program on a Tuesday) A fist icon shows a completed workout, a half fist means it wasn’t done from start to finish, usually means I used the first part of a workout has warmup and the second part to add a cooldown ! If it doesn’t shows it that way, I stopped the workout because of pain and didn’t feel very good

Doing full weeks of powercuffs workout is going to be very challenging, I haven’t managed it yet, lots of issue to work on and I hope doing the DK30 will help me stay accountable :)! Let’s do this woo :D

Day 1 : Felt a lot of tightness/stiffness in my muscles on the first part of the workout, it went better over time! Very much needed to work on my body more ( had cervical vertigo this summer and still working on fixing all the impacts it had !) Need to add some additional exercises for my lower back !

Measurement Picture: day 1! Will update those at the end of day 30!

Transformation Pictures day 1!
