A little behind on my updates for last 3 days work. But still on it
Here are my last three sessions and a plea for inspiration and some Nanos, if you're reading this Reebok :-)
FRIDAY 14th JUNE
No A, B and C today, just an A
Which looked like this
5 ROUNDS OF
5 Wall Climbs
7 Thrusters at 50Kg
5 Toes to Bar
7 Deadlifts at 100Kg
5 Burpees
7 American Kettlebell Swings at 32Kg
REST 2minutes between rounds
Now, all these exercise are relatively easy on there own, but put together become very tiring.
Mentally you know you can do each one, without stopping, but your body starts having other ideas ! So this definitely became an internal battle, to force myself through each round, with as little rest as possible.
I did each round, unbroken, which I was pleased with, although I would've gladly stopped at any point, given half a chance !
SATURDAY 15th JUNE
A. 5 x 10 Ring Press Ups
B. 5 X 1-5 Weighted Pull Ups
C. FRAN - which for those of you that don't know is a very well known Crossfit WOD, which consists of
21-15-9 reps of Thrusters at 42.5Kg and Pull Ups, this is done as fast as you can and timed
This is how I coped with this -
A. The ring press ups, were doable as my chest was probably the only part of me that wasn't feeling yesterdays excersions !
B. My grip and 'pulling' strength seemed to have disappeared today and I only managed 3 x1 sets of +5kg pull ups and 2 x1 pull ups, but not everything always goes as it should, so wasn't too upset about this.
C. After realising, I was going to take a very long time to get through FRAN, I decided to scale it, by using bands to assist my pull ups.
This way, I thought, I could get through it, almost unbroken and at least see how it feels to do it quicker, than I normally would.
I managed to do the pull ups unbroken for the 15 and 9, while the set of 21, I did in 15 and 6, The thrusters I did like this - 8,7,6 - 9,6 - 6
I can now see why everyone loves FRAN !!
I look forward to getting better at this every time I attempt it and was glad I used the bands as it gave me a feeling of how tired I'd be, doing it faster.
SUNDAY 16th JUNE
Again today, was 'just' 1 combination of exercises
3 Rounds of
3 Turkish Get Ups (left hand)at 24kg
10 lateral Box Jumps
3 Turkish Get Ups (right hand) 24kg
2 15metre Banded Sprints
Not timed, but with as little rest as possible.
This was tough (surprise, surprise) but relatively short.
Putting turkish get ups, in with cardio exercises is quite a challenge as you need to try and compose yourself and focus, as they are an exercise that needs all your attention.
And that was it, another 3 days done.
I am definitely starting to notice a gains in my capacity and recovery times, although during the sessions, I am never going to feel 'wonderful' ha ha
(Note to REEBOK - Nano's would definitely help me too, thanks)
My nutrition, is still not where I would like, or need it to be, which is also holding back my improvements, recovery and being a little heavier than I should be, obviously makes everything a bit tougher.
I think, because I don't have any accountabilty with my diet, I let myself off to easily, which really frustrates and annoys me, as I know its just laziness too.
Having that accountabilty for my training is definitely a huge factor, in getting each session done, I just need to find some way of doing this for my food too, any ideas would be welcome.
That's it I guess for another few days, already started day 1 again.
Hopefully by next time, REEBOK will have sent me, my free Nano's, but possibly not :-)
Till then
Craig
