Mr Blint

Too much fun one day kills the next ? It seems... Mobility work done for the last 2 days. I went out running yesterday, my goal was to find a place where i had a cool sprint session once, but i didn't remember exactly where it was. I ran for 30min before finding it, did my sprints. Until there no problem. Then i say"hey that trail seems cool, i'll see where it ends !" 50 minutes later i'm home and more than done for the day x) Really a cool run ! But i was just completely sore today, i still tried my usual session (wich was supposed to be like 80% handstands) but got no results and my wrist pain started to come back.(with new ones in the elbow and shoulder btw). So i don't know if it's cool or not overall, but next time i get lost i'll take a day off after. I really hate that feeling when you want to push your body but you feel half broken, with no energy. So i'll see if it gets better with a nice night of sleep. Because we should never end a post with negative stuff : You should really buy this !

Mini2 done

Well done ! This workout is complete !!

Thanks man I didn't really used parallettes before P2 : just a few L-sits here and there ! I am quite impatient and i already had my L-sit and handstand so i just rushed into P2. You have easily one year of programming with all that courses ! I also got F2 and R2 waiting Yeah... Maybe one day ^^ After that 6 weeks challenge i'll add the foundations from gymnastic bodie to my training. I heard that they really focus on joint prep and i plan on using it to find my weaknesses before moving on harder moves like handstand presses or real ring work. (or one arm chin )

Ok ! So today's session : - Planche lower to elbow lever : 2 sets This one is quite easy when you got both moves - Lever spin : 4 sets Another story here ^^ Really hard to keep my balance during the whole thing. 1 min under tension seems quite long sometimes ! I can greatly improve my form here - Conditionning : 4*15s tuck planche 2*single arm lever work "I can barely come on 1 arm ! Bareeeely... Just one finger left.... You just fell x)" 2*Drop set push ups : i didn't count, i just stop when i feel that my form will deteriorate too much. I'm gonna do my stretching right at the end of this post.

Well, not much time on the computer to write about it ! Friday : Stretching done wrist routine done Wrist still a bit tired but i start to get some real control on my handstand back : Few sets but i got into straddle and came back into straight line several time. I don't time my handstand but i think i'll try soon to see if i got the 60s mark Saturday : Stretching done Running session done : low intensity for 30min. Wrist rehab : A little bit of ring training for fun, my muscle up starts to feel really smooth I don't try to be quick on my running sessions this days, my goal is to use and develop my aerobic system to help recovery since i spend most of my time on a chair studying or go anaerobic during my HIIT session. My long term goal is to get to a point where i could a run 30min each day at slow pace without feeling tired. Sunday : Stretching done Played football with friends, went to the field running. Really fun afternoon. I didn't go to bed at said time that last few days, saturday was ok since i went to see a movie but i really need to take care of that so i'll now shut down my computer a 10pm if i've done my stretching before, or at 9.30 if didn't. So let's see what i've done this week : 1. Finish the 2nd cycle of the program before the end of the 6 weeks : Well not hard to do since i was still in recovery ^^ I'll start back tomorrow with a video to show my starting point ! 2. Accomplish the Focused Flexibility program for the full 6 weeks : This one went well, i start to be used to the stretch. I still have hard time with the bridge but it seems ok since it's not a move you achieve in a few days. 3. Lower body training : Cool stuff here too, i ran more than usually but really slowly, i'll continue like that next week. 4. Sleep and recovery : I felt pain in my low back and limbs but it went away with running. I'll try to stretch my back in the other way after bridge, and i won't start my shower with cold water right after it, it should do the trick. So what's next ? Get back to real upper body work, it'll be real fun ! More running ! More mobility work ! Real focus on bedtime, this one is hard because i'm studying for the whole day and i only go on my computer after supper so i tend to stay on it for too long. That's all for today PS : A real bonus in this challenge is that i get used to write in english. I never speak it or write it since we don't have any english class this year. So even if i read easily i need like 30min+ to write something that long without too much mistakes (i hope )

Oh my god !! I understand why it's called fire breathing, your body just gain 10° after a few reps...

I would definitely choose option 1 or 2 i were you. I personnaly love jumping lunges for legs work, it's just a killer. Anything that involve jumping is good when you want to be explosive squat jumps, star jumps, pistol squat jumps (when you tell me when you got this one ^^), i think you get the picture !

End of the day : - HIIT session, tabata style 10min - mobility session done + extra work on psoas - wrist stretch done, it starts to feel good here is one part of the session, the last stretch is especially cool : http://breakingmuscle.com/yoga/3-stretches-to-help-achy-wrists-and-prevent-carpal-tunnel - 15min slow running session bonus ! But i'll be late for bed time, it'll be my priority tomorrow.

If you go on facebook and like spartan race page (i don't remmenber wich one though there is so much ^^) they'll give you a plan to follow for the last month/2 month if i remember well. Before that i would suggest some HIIT or sprint training if you're short on time. Here's is a cool site i use at home for the HIIT : http://www.fitnessblender.com/ Keep it up !

Hey there ! If you want some new routines to workout and stay motived i love http://www.fitnessblender.com. Anyway good luck for your challenge i'll keep an eye on your progress !

Keep it up man ! It seems you've got one of the best motivations ever If you don't mesure bodyfat, i guess a good way to see the progress would be before/after pictures

Done : http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/63919-long-term-progress-set-up/?p=1454730

Well i'm definitely going for the assassins ! Nop you didn't - Pancake - Downguard dog - Kneeling lunge - Shoulder internal rotation extension (hand on the low back, try to move shoulder and elbow to the back) with contract-relax - deep squat - bridge for time

Just a little bit But yeah that's strange how before medidating you're like "i've got no time for it, it won't change anything !" And right after "... Well it seems i just found the graal of happyness !" I'll try that fire breathing, seems cool !!

Totally agree with this, you should take the video with the NF shirt Congrats anyway !!

Quite a long session it seems ! How long do you rest between the sets ?

I would really recommend you to do this challenge : http://www.idoportal.com/blog/hanging , some really cool stuff and nice progress to be expected! I bet you will be able to get your first pull up at the end of the month or so !

Better late than never, i'm following you ! What's that breathing meditation ? Sounds cool but except the basic diaphragmatic breathing i don't know much about that stuff !

They have so much free stuff, just don't stay for hours on their websites So today's recap : I choosed the stretch to do for the next 6 weeks. Done quite a bunch of rings work for fun P2 will still wait for the next week since my wrists are still unhappy with my volume, Still managed to do a little handstand session. Here is a piece of it, feel free to comment : And then a few wrists stretchs. That's all for today !

Maybe a low back exercice like back bows coold be cool to add :

If you love his work i suggest you to dig a bit about Durzo Blint and Brent Weeks if you don't know his stuff

Yup, NERD POWAAAA !! Definitely subbed man For how long have you been training for the OAC ?

Man are you doing 100000 routines at the same time ? x) Depending of what you want from your program i would recommand speaking with GMB before starting F1/R1, i'm not sure these would be a challenge for you. What do think of elements ? Never tried it but the staff seems quite proud of it ! ^^ Yeah exactly that ! PS : Dude i tested the suicide jump (on grass ;p)... and did it squat jumps training and jumping lunges pay their bills !!
