I ended my challenge with 5 undergrip pullups, 3 overgrip pullups, finishing the planning of my gym program, which turned out nice I still have a small problem with sugar, though. I've been eating cleaner and cleaner all the time but i couldn't make it to my goal (max 3 times per week). Going to a better direction anyway! Imagine how many pullups i'm able to do, when I lose some fat-weight! Awesome!

Today I found out my one rep maxes in shoulder press, back squat and deadlift. My total was 197,5kg/435lbs. In shoulder press i did 35kg/77lbs Squat 75kg/165lbs (I could do so much better by improving my technique) Deadlift 87,5kg/193lbs Interesting. I need to practise my thecniques a lot. And strength of course Not bad for a beginner crossfitter, I think!

I have achieved two of my goals! I have made a gym plan, that is working quite nicely. I still should try all my maximums at least in the compound lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, clean...). Secondly, I have managed to do 4 underhand chin ups and 3 overhand pull ups Which is nice. More than I expected.

What sorcery is this!!!! I did a proper pullup with overhand grip!!! I can't belive this! I don't feel so weak anymore Other news, too. I tried PWO today before the gym. My biceps were so pumped I thought they're gonna explode. I made some records, though On the other hand I almost vomited and fainted a couple of times. Now I feel good and strong... ^___^ What an interesting day.

It really does good for the back. I also have a problem with my wrist so handstands and pushups are really painful sometimes. Hanging also reduces pain in my wrist

Okay, let's see.. I have made a doodle of my workout plan and it looks fine in my opinion. Going to consult a few people, still... I got my pullup bar on the door (it was challenging, since my walls are so thin...) Hanging is good for my back and I can do 3,5 regular chin ups. I need to do active hangs all day long when I'm at home. Luckily I don't have to work tomorrow, so there's at last some time for exercise. (I had 6 working days, including two 12 hour days. Yes, I'm tired now.)

AAHH At last I was able to push a good gym workout today! Feels good, man... My back is stilla bit painful and stiff. I need to take care of that before squatting or deadlifting.. Instead of those I was doing bench and snatch. I got some long stares while doing the snatches, though... making ugly sounds and faces. I belong to the crossfit box. Gotta take the gym card there too, soon... When it comes to my challenge, I still need to concentrate on doing a proper workout plan. I took the first step (push day, pull day, leg day) but I need to focus on the amounts of reps and weights. I guess i need to buy a notebook, too! I can't afford to fail this, but my time is running out!!!

I got better and went bouldering, thanks for asking... But I hurt my lower back by doing ab wheel moves... I guess I was going too low, so my core couldn't hold the package anymore... Greedy! Handful of painkillers and it will get better soon.

I'm interested in thermogenics. I drink coffe and black tea daily. I also use a lot of spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardemum... I only know that caffein affects on my workouts giving me energy and focus and that way helps me burn more calories during workout... Have you guys tried the MCT-oil? I started using it about a week ago. Haven't noticed anything significant yet. Some people say it's effective and some say it's only marking crap. What do you think? Experiences?

As an elastigirl I can belive that you approve stretching I'm doing easy 20-30minute sessions once or twice a day now. Not a bad routine to take, I think. Can't wait for my powerwheel and pull up bar to arrive!!! I also bought a can of PWO and post-workout stuff... Going to try those when having intensive workouts at the gym or box.

Great. I bought the bar and a power wheel also from the internet. They should arrive next week I still have chances to get those 4 chin ups before the challenge ends! Bad news is that i'm having some sort of stomach flu going on... I'm trying to get better so I could go bouldering next sunday. Wich me luck... I'm using these sickdays well of course. Doing a lot of stretching at home and some movement practices for joints. If I feel well enough, I'm going to do some easy bodyweight core-stuff too... Now gingerwater with honey. Cheers...

That's impressive and definitely encourages me to buy that bar I really need a better grip for hanging. I can't belive I'm struggling to hold on while doing basic ab-exercises or lats... And I do BOULDERING! Embarrasing

Gosh I really need to purchase that pull-up bar Today at the gym I was practising hanging and doing forearm workout. I got so pumped aand so in pain! I need to hang more, for sure. Knowing that the feeling will get so much better after a good workout is the best motivation even on lazy days like that
