TR vs the future
-
I was gonna do 4 sets, but the abs were struggling before I started after Tuesdays workout, so they were screaming most of the workout tonight, very humid up here, which gets the sweat going.

ran up Parihaka again yesterday, pushed myself alot further before I reached some of the many steps I needed to walk up, [b]timed run this time, 34.45mins[/b]<br />

<br />
I think today, is the forst time in about 6 months I havent beaten my time going up the hill, 6 sec slower than my PB last week, ([b]25.51[/b] today) and I really gave it a go today too, but just wasnt happening...that said, when I look back at my first timed run on this track, almost 9 minutes quicker!! -
Cicuit today;<br />
<br />
Un-timed warm up set - 25 push ups, 15 ez bar (25 kg) 15 squat jumps, 15 deadlifts (50kg) 25 medicine ball squat thrusts, 1 min plank<br />
<br />
Timed sets; 4.46, 4.51, 5.11<br />
<br />
The squat jumps and dead lifts were pretty draining in the middle -
holy sh!t my legs are sore today, all over!
-
On tuesday, had buggar all time, so did 100 decline push ups and 100 burpees (10 of each per set, and then 10-20 sec rest)<br />
<br />
Today; 5 mins punch bag<br />
<br />
16 tyre flips (did 2, ran around and flipped twice back) 18 EZ bar (@20kg) 15 wide grip bent over rows (@20kg) 15 dips, 25 medicine ball thrusts, 90 sec plank; 5.30, 5.32, 5.38<br />
<br />
Got a massive sweat up, but just was quite as draining as some other workouts I've done recently, best bit, dunking myself in the kids pool after, AWESOME! -
oddly, it was the burpees about 60-80 that were the hardest, the rest, while hard, werent as much of a struggle as those!<br />
<br />
Over a liquid lunch, me and a few mates have decided we should do the Coast to Coast in 2014.... -
in push up terms I'd of thought decline push ups (feet are higher than my hands) were more akin to incline bench? Or maybe I just call incline push ups by the wrong name <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Thought I'd try something a bit different yesterday...<br />
<br />
On my usual running track, I packed my 10kg medicine ball in the back pack, a 5kg grip plate in either hand and walked the track, almost 48 mins.<br />
<br />
Going up was FARKEN hard, was leaking sweat! Down wasn't too bad, I think next time I might just take 2 10 kg grip plates and no backpack. <br />
<br />
At times, the knees were not happy i was a 115kg behemoth! This morning, glutes, quads, shoulders, arms all feeling. -
didnt do a workout yesterday, 1 because the glutes were so sore and 2 as I wasnt feeling 100% after the work party on Saturday night.<br />
<br />
Today; punch bag<br />
<br />
20 x 12.5kg hammer curls, 16 monkey crawls (or whatever they are) hammerchoppers 15 each side, 30 sec static squat with swiss ball (suuuck) 15 deadlifts, 90 sec plank<br />
<br />
Warm up set then 3 timed @5.30, 5.35 and 5.46.<br />
<br />
Is a real mental challenge finishing with the plank, knowing I am not going to beat the last circuit, but still have 90 sec to go!!! -
25 Push ups, 15 burpees, 15 skull crushers (20kg) 100 mountain climbers, 12 horizontal pull ups, 60 sec plank<br />
<br />
1 warm up set untimed; 4.55, 4.51, 5.05<br />
<br />
about 26deg and probably >90% humidity...straight into the kids 75cm deep pool after, HEAVEN!! -

the Blues call them lizard crawls... -
I ended up with limited time tonight, had to drop the Mrs at her work party so didn't get to go for a run this week so I did 100 proper burpees...15, 15, 10, 10, 10, 10, 15, 15.... The last 5 were a struggle!

so a full 5 months in, and weigh in this morning at [b]92.6kg [/b](started at 103kg) have lost almost half a kg in the past week somehow after sitting around 93-93.5 for the past few months, lowest weight since sometime late in 1999.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
First time under 93kg since this post; 92.9kg this morning...did jack all over the weekend too, so a pleasant surprise. -
Thought I better do a quick workout tonight having done nothing since Thursday!<br />
<br />
15 EZ Curls (@20kg) 12 cleans (@40kg) 15 jump squats, 25 med ball thrusters, 15 dips, 90 sec plank<br />
<br />
Warm up set untimed then 5.10, 5.13, 5.38<br />
<br />
Despite the rain, was very warm and I have to do the jump squats and med ball exercise on the drive in the rain, which added to the decent sweat I got up! -
Was reasonably well restrained for a Christmas Day....but still more food and beer than an average day, but Boxing Day was worse with the family coming round. <br />
<br />
Went for a run yesterday morning in the rain (still bloody warm) then mowed the lawns ( they had to be done, the rain had stopped by now...) <br />
<br />
ThEn the food, and the beer, and some more food....must do exercise! -
Something a. Little different.<br />
<br />
100 cleans (30kg - stopped a few times for a few seconds) 100 hammer/tyre (100each side non-stop) 100 weighted step ups (10kgand 100each leg- brief stop at 100 for a drink) 3 min plank 100 push-ups (35, 15, then sets of 10 - last 2 sets the last 3 were poor form)<br />
<br />
Then a few mins I. The kids pool which was very refreshing. This time of day -
75 neutral grip pull ups (was only gonna do 50, but the vast majority done with poor form* I decided I should do more) 100 box jumps, 100 dips, 2 min plank<br />
<br />
Gonna be sore tomorrow!<br />
<br />
*When I say poor form, I suck at pull ups, so after about about 25 I either did a wee jump to get up or used somethign to rest my foot on for a 'spot' of sorts.
