OMG major puss-out this week

Saturday, June 23, 2007

Saturday's Workout

Set the watch for intervals of 5min/30sec. Rope for 5min / pull-ups 30sec.
  • Pull-ups x 8 / Rope 5min
  • Pull-ups x 5 / Rope 5min
  • Pull-ups x 5 / Rope 5min
  • Pull-ups x 5 / Rope 3min
  • Pull-ups x 5
Static hold from the bar; knees bent and parallel to the ground 30sec, 20sec, 20sec. Rest was about a min.

-Happy with the volume of pull-ups. Expected end the circuit at the 4th set of pulls. I felt like a little more and needed to work on my tan.
-30sec for pull-ups was about right for set-up time and to pull out 5 reps. Possibly 6 next time.
-Next time shorten the rope interval to 3 min and up the intensity.
-Static hold was good; forearms pumped and abs fatigued. Go for 30sec for all threes sets next time.

Fridday's Workout

AM
Circuit x 6
  • Rope 200 turns
  • 10 Med-Ball Slams (20 on last set)
  • Rest 60sec
-Need to go run a 400m to see if 200 rope turns is an appropriate sub
-15 med ball slams each round next time
-Based on NG EIT #3

Thursday's Workout

AM
Circuit
  • Burpees 10, 5, 5, 5
  • Push-ups 15, 10, 10, 10
  • Squats 30, 15, 15, 15
  • Rope 100 turns
-Based on EIT #1 from Ross Enamait's Never Gymless, which calls for more reps and a 400m run instead of rope.
-This was plenty challenging for me but I forgot to time it
-Rope turns were as fast as possible however, they weren't very fast at all.
-Some stomach cramping on the third set.

PM
Rolling neck bridges 3x15

Monday's Workout

30sec work / 30sec rest for 5 sets of each.
  • Chin-ups 21 (8, 5, 2, 3, 3)
  • Sit-ups 79 (15, 18, 16, 16, 14)
  • Push-ups 50 (15, 10, 11, 7, 7)
  • Hindu Squats 93 (16, 19, 19, 19, 20)
-Work was 30sec unless close to failure then I ended the set. Next time hang from the bar on the chins for the remainder of the 30sec and stay in the plank for the push-ups. This caused me to screw up my third set on the chins.
-Sit-ups were weak sauce. Abs need serious work.
-Rotated between regular, knuckle and finger push-ups.
-Hindu Squats were a nice finisher.

3min rope cool-down

-Sore and unmotivated I tried some Tabata thrusters today.
-Reps in parenthesis note the least reps performed in any set.

One set every minute for 20 minutes; alternating sets of pull-ups and push-ups (10 sets each total).
  • Pull-ups x 35 total (5, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4)

Thursday's Workout

20 minute fitness solution inspired.
Circuit x 9
  • Crab Crawl (around half the garage 30sec)
  • Jump-rope sprint 40 turns
  • Bear Crawl (around half the garage 30sec)
  • Jump-rope sprint 40 turns
-Did as many as possible in 20min and rested between drills as necessary. Next time only rest between rounds.

Circuit x 3
  • V-ups x 5
  • Lying hip swing x 10
  • Chinnies x 20
  • Rest 30-60sec

Wednesday's Workout

A.M.
Circuit x 10
  • Power-skip x 30sec
  • Burpees x 5
  • Crab-crawl x 30sec
  • Med-ball slams x 5
-Set the watch to go off every 30 seconds. The set of burpees and slams allowed for about 15 seconds rest each.
-Power-skip is a school yard skip as high as possible with max extension.
-Burpees were minus the pushup
-Got a med-ball on Monday and had to use it otherwise this workout is jacked from the 20 minute fitness solution.

P.M.
Another one from the 20 minute fitness solution. Supersets of chin-ups and dips for 20 minutes.
  • Chin-ups x 6, 5, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1 = 40 total
  • Dips x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 4, 2 = 61 total
Jumped it out with 5min easy rope.
